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 dal Lx t.a s, and if s , It 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, inair :iii a n, �I x 5 z� � where shewas Eng,, born in 1,716, a deeply religious man, who acted as layman in charge of the.

The well-known "Father of merc- ies in Thy word What endless glory shines,""Now let us raise our cheer- ful strains," "Far from these narrow 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- tained several new hymns and ,about. thirty little poems. That brought up the number of her hymns to 144, not including poetical versions of thirty- four Psalms.

Curiously enough' Anne Steele's other hymns have made their warmest welcome not in her own country, but in the United States. The tune St. Columba, to which this hymn is commonly sung, was written for "Hymns Ancient and Modern," by J. A. MacMeikan, and well snits Miss Steele's words. "MY -BEST GIRL" (Continued from page four) raised for this lipid of work—and you 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. "Well, I mean—you know, a—nice —sort of smiling—" .Maggie flound- ered—"I mean—" she began again desperately --."mean, for instance, that there are lots of girls ie this store that you couldn't calloun ` :ladiesl" y g she said, turning scarlet. "No, you knight call them nice girls," Joe conceded,, "and you might Ac Balt them sTdart girls: But, rd, you'd hardly Dail them young ladies," "Like Lake school -teachers and lib drt�. 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- thing about believin' that you have a good thing, an' you have it. Not will have it, but have it. An' that's like the ideel life—I wrote that up on the same card. It was in my prayer book, an' I got it all straight. Now, those two things go together, don't they, JOe?" . "They do," he said struck.

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 de Janeiro, Brazil, and Nova Scotian exporters believe this may be the beginning of a steady trade in this line. Over fifty per cent. of the raw leaf tobacco used in the Canadian tobacco industry is now produced in Canada. Less than two per cent. of the tobacco consumed in the Dominion is imported in"anufac- tured form.

Public rooms on the ` Empress of Britain which will arrive at Quebec on its maiden voyage June 2, all bear distinctive names. The dining saloon will be known as "Salle Jac- ques Cartier," the bald room as the "Empress Room", and the lounge as "Mayfair." Total estimated revenues of the province of New Brunswick for 3931 is set at $6,302,821 according to the linancial estimates presented in the provincial legislature recent- ly by the provincial secretary - treasurer in his sixth budget speech.

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�. Burgrxtan, C,N.R. agent. The teacher was giving a lesson on, the Creation.
