THE WINcOrTANI ADVAN,C -s hoe$
This simple little hymn is Said to
have been a special favorite of Presi-
dent "n �..ln s. 'o' illustrates

well the modesty and :unpretending
faith and life of that rugged and
de
tertned leader of men, Although he
d realize tsr of heart
di a eltetledeteo his .and
become President of his country, and
that during critical tithes, which turn-
ed upon it and him the attention of
the whole world, he could still truth-
fully say that the. Almighty will had
not seen fit to measure out to hien
very much earthly bliss. For his life
was an arduous one all, through to
that Good Friday night; when the
cowardly assassin's shot brought its
usefulness to anuntimely end.
It was also illustrative of the earth-
ly life of Miss Anne Steele, its writ-
er, whose modesty impelled her to
publish it under the name of Theo-
dosia, in a volume of poems issued
in 1760 when she was forty-four years
of age.
When as a young woman, she was
just about to be married, her betroth-
ed met his death from drowning when
bathing in a river. That was on the
very morning of her wedding day,
and the shock to her nervous system
must have been intense,
She was also of a delicate consti-
tution from birth and the terribly
dis-
tressing loss of herlover increased
her .weakness and suffering. There
was not much of: earthly bliss in, her
life, but she did, by patience and by
trust in the wisdom and mercy of
God, attain to calmness and thankful-
ness of soul, for the favors He bes-
towed upon her.
From early childhood, she showed
a great love for literature, and a- po-
etical facility, with which she often
amused and interested her friends.
Happily for her she had a good guide
in her :father, William Steele) a well-
to-do timber merchant of Broughton,

scenes of night," and our hymn print-
ed herewith are among the most pop-
ular of her hymns which .appear in
nearly all of the more important hy-
mnals in our language.
The first selection of her hymns
to be published appeared in two vol-
umes. After Miss Steele's death in
1778, another edition of her poems,
"Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotz
ional, by Theodosia," appeared, edit-
edby the Rev. Dr. Caleb Evans, of
Bristol.
This was in three volumes and con-

including poetical versions of thirty-

in 1776, made its way into many oth-

Anne Steele's other hymns have made
their warmest welcome not in her

this hymn is commonly sung, was

hate it, and you keep thinkin' that
you'd rather be somewhere else, doin'
something else, an' you don't like the
girls here in the Mack?"
"Does you mother cook well?" she
asked.
"None, Doesn't know a darn thing
about cooking," Joe confessed.
"Don't your father help her none
any?" Maggie asked.
"Never. The old man is no more
use around the house that a paper
tnonkey!"
"Joe, I do think that's pretty hard
on you!' Who makes your bed?"
"Oh, anybody. Last night I had
dinner with some friends of ours
named Russell, Joe volunteered.
"And did she give you a good din -
tier?"
"Oh, yes—she cooks all right." An
odd look came into Joe's eyes. "Her
daughter was there."
"Daughter? An' her husband?"
"No. Mill—Milly's not married."
"The daughter ain't?"
"Nope."
"Just a little girl, huh?"
"Nope. Milly's about—nineteen."
"I guess she's pretty, ain't she?"
"She's beautiful."
But he told himself that he must
stop this teasing, when he saw her
suddenly daunted face, the gallant ef-
forts she made to appear quite her-
self.
But he saw that her colour had
ebbed and that the little hand that
steadied the boxes was itself un-
steady.
He felt oddly shaken, He returned
to his own business filled with a
wretched sensation that he must
somehow make this up to Maggie.
Yet—hang it!—the very making up
would carry the matter further, and
it had gone far eonugh.
He shook himself physically. He
could not shake the thought away
He unlucky -with the roadster park-
ed a few blocks away, and the com-
fort of one of the State's .most beau-
tiful homes back of the roadster. He
unlucky—a Merrill playing at work,
here in one of the stores he would
largely own some day!
More bewildering still, he was be-
ginning to like this play work.
But oddly, unexpectedly there were
moments when the Mack filled his
soul with a deep content. Joe revell-
ed in the rush and hurry, the absurd-
ity and yet seriousness of everything
that went on in the. Mack, Even
Smith and Fleming sometimes took
Joe into their counsels, as they wan-
dered importantly to and fro.
Joe's championship of Maggie help-
ed her from the very beginning—an
obvious fact that made her still more
his abject slave, On a dismal early
January day Maggie first appeared in
what might have been called her nor-
mal form, he heard the congratula-
tions that the busy girls flung at her
from all sides, and congratulated him-
self that he was partly responsible at
least.
She had done no more than elec-
trify everyone by discarding magnifi-
cently, and without permission, the
disfiguring ticking apron. That was
all. But the- was '
tv s a t ns o .fishing.
Everybody looked at her, every-
body praised ler, and the packing -
room boys went down like a row of
ten -pins.
It was on this same day that she
said to Joe, with a carefully careless
air:
"I'll bet, if you fell .in love, )'oe, it
would be with a regular young lady,
.wouldn't it?"
"How do youmean, regular young
lady?" Joe asked.

ane, said Magpie.
"'Vey. I guess schoolteachers and
librarians would be young ladies all
right," Joe laughed.
"Leave it to you
to think a thing like thatl" he said,
"My aunt was a school -teacher,
Joe," she said, "Joe,,how would a per-
son who wasn't a lady get to be one?
Somebody must be cornmtenced, once,
you know."
"Well, reading the backs of news-
papers and magazines about manners,
for one. thing."
"That helps a lot, and to be always
looking for the right way to do
things, to be. quiet and gentle and
listen to the way nice persons speak.
And then, of course, there's always
the rule that a lady puts the feelings
of others before her own—thinks of
others first."
"Nice things all join together don't
they, Joe?" she said in deep thought.
"I don't get you, Miss Johnson,"
"Here's what I was thinkin'. Last
Sunday in church they said some-

Commercial fruit production in
Canada in 1930 had a value of $1.9,-
224,970. Apples accounted for $10,-
863,940 of that total.
For 'the year ended May 31, 1930,
a total of $2,037,678 was spent in
Canada for cut blooms showing
that Canadians still have a strong
penchant for saying it with flowers.
As a barometer of business con-
ditions in Nova Scotia it may be
stated that in 1930 there were 129
new companies incorporated as
compared with 118 for the previous
year.
A consignment of 120,000 pounds
of dried hake from Digby has been
shipped by way of Yarmouth to Rio

exporters believe this may be the
beginning of a steady trade in this
line.
Over fifty per cent. of the raw

he was so long instrumental in keep-
ing in good shape.
In 1900 Mr. Allen took his first
job with the railway under the late
C. Burford and two years later be
came foreman, moving into Wingham
at that time.
Referring to incidents of his long
service, Mr, Allen recalls that in
February, of 1903, with 15 men and
an engine crew, he started out from
Wingham to plow out the line where
the bush came closely up to the
right-of-way and the snow had piled
high. They reached a distance of 22
miles when they plowed into a white
blanket so thick that it held them.
It was two weeks before they could
get back to the starting point. Dur-
ing this time they were compelled to
keep the engine's boiler filled with
snow in order to secure water' to
keep the steam up.
The section where this blockade
occurred has been improved for the
railway by the cutting back of the
bush and installing wire fences where
board fences had previously existed.
At a later period, while trying to
get through, they islet difficulties as
a sleet storm, accompanied by heavy
rain, combined to hold up trains. The
mixture froze, clogging the rails so
much that
for about 100 miles the
track 'was impassible to trains until
workmen had gone the distance with
picks, . removing the ice.
During bis service with the rail-
way, Mr. Allen, has had as supervis-
ors, 'W. Dallas, 5,' Henry, L Fender,
George Baker, T. Sampson and 'D.
McNeil. Since retiring he has been
succeeded by Alex, Elliott, of Blue -
vale.
Mr. Allen was recently surprised
at his home when he was presented
with a club bag and his wife a purse
by friends. The presentation, togeth-
er with an address, Were made by J.
Scott, a former associate, and W 1�.
