be they ever 80 courteous and
gracious, we find ourselves some
what strange amongst them. 1t may
probably happen. my friend. that this
change of life may cause you some
feelings of repugnance; that this
wide and general farewell which you
have taken of the foilies and vanities
of the world may make some i'm
pressions of sadness and discourage
ment on your mind. If this should
be the case have a little patience. /
pray, for it will come to nothing. 1t
is nothing but lite strangeness,
occassioned by novelty; when it is
passed away you will experience
ten thousand consultations.
It may perhaps be painful to you
at first to relinquish that praise
which fools and fatterers gave to
your vanities; but would you for the
sake of it forfeit that eternal glory
with which God will assuredly re-
compense you? The vain amuse-
ments and passtimes in which you
have hitherto employed your time,
will again present themselves to
allure your heart, and cause it to
return to them; but will you re-
nounce eternal happiness for such
deceitful follies? Believe me, if you
persevere, you will soon receive con-
solations so delicious and agreeable
as shall oblige you to confess that
the world had nothing but gall in
comparison of this honey, and that
one day of devotion is better than
a thousand years of worldly life.
But you perceive that the noun
tain of Christian perfection ia ex-
ceedingly high: All! say you. how
can / ever reach its summit? Cour-
age, my friend. When the young
bees begin to assume their form we
call them nymphs, as yet they are
unable to fly to the flowers, or the
mountains, or the neighboring hills,
to gather honey; but. little by little,
feeding on the honey which the old
ones have prepared, their wings
appear, and they acquire strength
enough to fly and seek their food
all over the country. 1t is true we
are as yet but nymphs. aud cannot
yet rise to the height of our design,
which is no less than to reach the
tops of Christian perfection; but
if we begin to take shape, through
our desires and resolutions. our
wings will soon begin to grow, and
we shall one day become spiritual
bees. and be able TO fly: in the
meantime let us feed upon the honey
of the many good instructions
which devout persons of olden times
have left US, and pray to God to
give us wings like dove, that we
may not only be enabled to fly dur
ing the time of this present life, but
also may rest in the eternity of the
life to come.

The setting aside each year OF a

received from the Supreme Father
of Nature, is q custom brot here
from England, and it Is essentially
English, tho nearly every country,
civilized and uncivilized ,--Chris tian
and non-Cbristian has q similar
custom.
Thanksgiving Day in England is
not nationally the same. That is, the
head of the Nation does not set a
day of thanks. Ii is purely local
affair with the church at the head
which sets a day apart for thank
offerings. The church Is decorated
with many products of the harvest.

underwriting is an absolute neces-
sity in the exploitation of new and
undeveloped countries. This can
readily be explained by the mere
statement that no merchant nor
corporation, no matter how wealthy,
would undertake to send valuable
vessels with their cargoes into new
and unexplored countries without
the protection afforded by marine
insurance. An excellent illustration
of this in the development of Alaska
where since its acquisition by this
country in 1869, vessels have been
carrying valuable supplies north
and returning with furs, salmon,
gold etc., frequently running into
millions in value. The dangers of
the Alaska coast due to inefficient
lighting and inadequate aids to
navigation, leads one to view with
surprise the fact that marine under
writer's had sufficient hardihood 10
undertake the business, but high
rates and the possibility of large
profits were naturally attractive,
with the result that the business has
been written comparatively freely,
and the necessary protection afford
ed merchants and trading companies.
| think it is quite within the mark
to say that without this protection
Alaska never would have become
the valuable asset to the United
States that it is today. That the
Alaska coast is dangerous, to ship
ping, has been well proved, by the
number of marine disasters that have
occurred in that vicinity within the
last two years. One company hav-
ing lost three vessels within a year.
The influence of marine insurance
on the commerce of the world gener-
ally, requires no extended discussion.
No business concern, whether corpo-
rate or individual. conducts its
affairs today without some form of
marine insurance. The exporter
with marine insurance policies at
tached to his invoices and bills of
lading can obtain an advance from
his bankers, approximating the value
OF the shipment. The importer.
through the protection of marine
insurance, can have letters of credit
issued, against which drafts may bs
draw by buyers in any part of the
world. In addition to this the mer-
chant may also insure his anticipated
profits, go that he not only has been
enabled to obtain funds promptly in
the shape of an advance, as just de-
scribed, but he also has his profits
guaranteed TO him against loss by
perils of the sea through the agency
of marine insurance.
The part marine insurance has
played in the present great war
must have impressed itself upon all
by what has been written on the
subject of war risk insurance, the
importance of which can best be
illustrated by the fact that Great
Britain, practically on the very day
she declared war, established q
Government War Risk Bureau and
called upon some of the leading
marine men of Great Britain to
direct it's affairs. Without this
government bureau, war risk rates
would undoubtedly have been much
higher, which was fully warranted
by the hazards. High war risk in
surance rates would. however, have
seriously interfered with British
commerce, and the British Govern
ment clearly approaching the COM
manding importance of this has, it
is believed. been willing to conduct
their war risk bureau at consider
