(By Rev. R. Thynne, M,A ,

around us, it may be refreshing t) t he
mind to linger, if but for a brief apace,
over the recollection of the loveliest
and most cheerful period of the year.
In this hope, we will tbe•'efore pro-

If Spring, the Hest of the seasons, be
interesting to the reflective mind, sum
mer with maturer charms, gives us
higher ideas of the gooduwes and bene-
ficence of the great Creator. We never
walk abroad into the fieldat, during the
fulness of that genial season, without
feeling within us that the. time has
come when in the beautiful language
of Solomon, we may indeed exclaim,
*The winter is past, the rain le over
and gone ; the fl >were appear on the.
earth,the time .of the singing of birds
is come, and the voice of the
turtle is heard in our land." Summer
is peculiarly the season of enjoyment.
Eartb, air, and water teem with life.
The trees put on their full covering of
leaves ; the fl Jwers appear in all their
various shades of beauty ; the air is
filled with the voice of praise from
eery living thing ; and the streams,
as they glide along over their pebbly
beds, disclose, in their clear depths,
the finny tribes moving swiftly along,
or sportively leaping in the shallow
places. The heart that does nob ex-
pend while universal nature is rejoic-
ing around, nut be heavily burdened
or frigidly callous in deed. put far
mare to be pitied that man most be
et ho fails to discern in the animetive
and beauty around him, ever -recurring
traces of the neYee feeling goodness
of that Being who snakes the summer
to yield its increase, that the heart of
man may be made glad.
A season soproltflcin all the beauties
of nature, is well fitted for out-of-door
enjoyment. The uncertain days of
- spring, with their alternate hours of
sunshine and showers, have past, and,
the sky, no ,longer obscured witb
clouds, has put on a deeper blue; and.
earth is gladdened, from morning's
early hours, through the long day,
and far on into the evening, with the
presence of the sun. How delightful
it is, when the day has advanced and
the heat • of noon eobered down, to
walk abroad into the open fields, en-
joying the odour of the newly -mown
hay field, or to thread the long green
lanes, the trees with their thickly-
covered
hicklycovered branches, forming a natural
arch over our head. As we proceed
every advancing footstep discloses to
the curious eye some sweet•emeltiag
and delicately -tinted wild flower
springing up: in humble guise, but 'etre
-
passing beauty, at our feet. Let others
attach alue to their gaudy garden
favorites. we have ever loved wild
flowers—the •simple and, spontaneous
offerings of nature—the humble re-
membrances of the bounty and good -
nese of Him, who called them into
being, to gladden the heart and make
more beautiful the habitation of m to.
He can alone be said to enjoy nature
who looks from it up to Neture'e God.
The Christian has a double source of
delight, as he looks abroad upon the
earth covered with the fulness, Alt
things appear to him but emanations
of that love that never faileth--all
evince the overruling care and kind re-
gard of Him who assured us that seed -
time std harvest, summer and winter
shall not fail. But, in addition to this
a still stronger and holier feeling dire
his heart, As he looks abroad upon
the fields covered with the ripening
grain—upon the woody darkened with
the deep foliage of summer --to the
streams gurgling along beneath their
mossy b tnke, all day long "singing a
quiet tune",—and up to the green bills
that bound the landscape --does he not
experient:e the filial love and 'the full
heart of thankfulness, and exultingly
exclaim, "My Wether made them all?'
Let Bummer ever be to us more pe-
culiarly the season of gratitude at t3
betel Let ue never forget, as we look
Upon the earth covered with naterb'm
bounty, the love which gave ns alt! In
this Beaton of joy and gladness, let us
also share his gifts with a happy heart
and let it be with a heart fitted with
ntoet fervent gratitude to that gracious
Being who rnaketh the earth to yield
bee increase, and glveth its all things
in due season.

How Empire Responded.
A British Parliamentary White
Paper has been issued showing the
gifts of money, foodstuff e and other
supplies that have been donsted by
the overseas dominions and colonies.
The record of correspondence relating
to the gifts, is a pleasing illustration
of the loyal devotion of the colonies
to the Motherland.
The Hot which does not include the
gifts from the Iodian Empire, is as
follows:—
CANADA
D tminion of Caned e, 1,000,000 bags
of tf fur.
Province of Alberta, 500,000 bushels
of oats.
Province of Nova Scotia, 100,000 tone

of cheese.
Prince Edward bland, 100,000 bush•
ela of oats, also cheese and hay.
Province of Ontario, 250,000 bags of
flour.
Province of Seskatohewen, 1,500
horses, costing $250,000.
Province of New Brunswick, 100 000
bushels of potatoes.

Jamaica, gift of sugar.
Leeward Islands (St, Kitts and
Nevis•), £5,000.
Mauritius, 2,000,000 pounds of sugar.
Southern Rhodesia, gift of maize.
Perhaps the most interesting dona-
tion in the list is that from the Falk-
land Inland', the £3 250 being eq'tiva-
lent to LI per head of the population
'Che gift of port wine from the BL•ie°
bane firm was for the use of the sick
and wounded British soldiers.
The gift of 2,000,000 pounds of sugar
from the planters of Mauritius
was donated with the condition that
h000,000 pounds was to be given to
the army and 1,000,000 pounds to the
navy, The £5,000 donated by the
Leeward Islands was applied to the
Prince of Wales' Fund. Canada's
gifts make a splendid showing in the
-list,
Many of the gifts are being applied
by the British Government to the re
lief of distress in the British Isles,
Included in the items dealt with in
this manner are the coal from Nova
Scotia, the cheese from Quebec, the
potatoes from New Br•unbwick, .the
Iliac from Manitoba, the salmon
from British Columbia, and the food-
stuffs from Brisbane. Included in
this latter shipment were fifty cases
of condensed milk, 'tcontributed for

• "These will be of the greatest use
in this country for the steadying of
prices and the relief of distress. We
can never forget the promptitude and
generosity of this gift and the patri-
otiem from which it springs."

Grateful For . Canada'g' Aid
Through the prompt action of the
Borden Government, Canada enjoyed
the distinction of being the first of the
overseas dominions to come forward
with food supplies for the M otherland.
That action is being appreciated in
Great Britain, as it has 1 sen appre-
ciated and endorsed by the Canadian
people.
The London "Morning Pot t,” one of
the most influential papers hi . the Unit.
ed Kingdom, says e—
"Tbe patriotism 'of the Dominions
in placing their food supp"a'ies at our
diepoaal at a time of crinis'saggests a
