The hospitable country folk, God bless the honest hands That help supply the worldes vast need And link the farthest lands. Exponents of the simple life 'Do which the wood nymphs tune their fife. The solid, steady, country folk, The very warp and weft Of any nation, without which Asunder it had cleft. The brawn and sinew of its soul. As days and years and ages roll. The wholesome, happy country folk God bless them, one and all, When Adanr delved where angels walked ' The ground cursed by the fall Gave . promise of things pure and sweet Heartease for sorrow and defeat.

The car was turned over into the ditch, but all the caccupants escaped unhurt.

Gaeta who is evidently making good in his chosen calling: "At the evening service Paster Roy Cook ,of the Baptist Tabernacle Church, Sandwich, will be the speak- er, Mr. Cook in one of the younger men of the denomination.
