As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey Thy will When Thou biddest them "Be still'!" Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pildt me! When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar "Twixt me and the peaceful rest— Then, estThen, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not! I will pilot thee!" Anien. The Reverend Edward Hopper, D. D., was for many years, pastor of the •poetically named "Church of.: Sea and Land," in New York. He was deeply' learned, a distinguished grad- uate of the Union Theological Semi- nary, born in x818, ordained to the Baptist ministry in 1842, and the au - even with the house screened.

Front ' - St., East, T`•orontb EROXO cATcH,,, Gets the fly tever'y'titzle thor •of several hymns, including one well known some forty years ago- "They pray the best who pray and. watch," It was for his own congregation composed' largely of seafaring men that he wrote his "Jesus, Saviour, pil- ot me," which seems to have made its first appearance in the Baptist Praise Book of 1871. Three years later Dr. Hopper published in a hym- nal entitled "Hymns and songs of. praise" a striking little hymn begin- ning: "Wrecked and struggling in, mid -ocean," But this never became very popular and probably his "Pilot" hymn will be the only one which will preserve his memory in the future, There is another hymn upon the same subject written by "Kate Cam- eron," Mrs, Maria B. W. Barnes with "Jesus is our Pilot," for its first line, This appeared in Bradbury's "New Golden Censer," New York, in 1864 and some have suggested, rather un- necessarily that this may have given Dr. Hopper a. hint for his much finer hymn. There isgreater possibility that Dr. Hopper's hymn has been assisted to its popularity by the fact that it is in the same metre as "Rock of Ages, cleft for me," and has been sung at various times to :one or other of the fine tunes which musicians have com- posed for, it. The tune written for our hymn by, J. E. Gould, is, how- ever, the one usually associated with the words in this country. Dr. Hopper embellishes and fol- lows the Rev. Thomas Kelly's beau- tiful and at one time immensely pop- ular hymn: "Why those .fears? Behold 'tis Jesus Idoids the helm and guides .the ship." Charles Wesley had travelled by sea a good deal in those leisurely sailing -ship days, when men would spend many weeks on a voyage now usually undertaken in six or seven days. He had known storms while on his way to and from our northern cont:. Andknewas continent. he did the writer of a magnificent hymn in a Hebre)v Hymnal which we know as "The Psalms of David" who acknow ledged the same pilotage, that it was and is always the same Divine Pow- er that "bringest them into the haven ,where they would be." For it was Charles Wesley who gaveustle voyager's e r's i m i:- 'tLord, Whom winds and waves ,obey, Guide tts through' the watery way; In the 'bellow of Thy hand, l Iitle° 2d' bilrro us safe to "latid." ,yal04. Q'' xt eN ki it,bt li. e He it was who also wrote the more majestic:— "0 Thou who didst prepare The ocean's caverned cell, And teach the gathering waters there To meet and dwell." But most dramatic and true of sail- ors' hymns is the one written by Caroline Bowles, the Mrs. Southey who ministered so loving to the par- alysed poet laureate Robert Southey in his last years. "Launch thy bark, mariner! Christian, God -speed theel Let loose the rudder-bands-- Good udder-bands—Good angels lead thee! Set thy sails warily, Tempests will come; Steer thy course steadily; Christian, Steer home." "Master the tempest is raging," is a favorite of later days, which also displays the same trust in the Pilot of all lives Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in its trustful lines:— "The winds and the waves shall obey Thy will Peace be still, Peace be still." The Rev. John Newton's fearful ex- perience in his tempestuous return voyage from his horrible African sla- very, the stormy voyage wlftch finally brought him in his penitence to the feet' of the IR,edeem'er of souls, gave him the material for his lines, sel- dom found in the hymnbooks now, beginning:— "I hear the tempest's awful sound I feel the vessel's gtick rebound; And fear might now my bosom fill, But Jesus tells me, "Peace be still!' Then we have the saintly Bishop Reginald Heber's grand hymn used with wonderful influence on the mili- tary transport ship carrying him to his Indian bishopric, and to his death, beginning:- "When through the 'torn sail The wild tempest is streaariing, When o'er the dark wave The red lightnuig is gleaming, Nor hope lends a ray The porn seaman to cherish, We fly to our Maker— "Save, Lord! or we, perish!" tut none of these admirable hymns have quite the same direct and sweet- ly t. a hctic p appeal as D,r. Hopper's little Pilot hymn, which deserves •"fp' be a favorite one witli the brave, fel+ lows whose business itis to "vii' don to the 'sea in ships." ormaradasi ,s 1"t5 ]fail C .

Tliq e;xeavatlons in Colchester, Ewngland, ' conducted under Mr, liawltss, ' of the British littuseirui . dis- covered the sight of the palace of the' British king whom. Shakespeare call-. ad Cymbeline, The discovery of the site is of the greatest interest. CYm.beline was called by has fath- er Cunobelinus, and by this name'was made known to us by the Roman. governor netonius, who calls liirn King of the Britons." That was net an exact title, because the Briton* were then a loose assemblage of tribes of which the Trinobanaos were one and, the Ieant were another. Tasetovanus, the father of Caw- Wilms ann_belil s, came of .the .. Catuveleauni who bad crossed to Britain about 200 B.C. and were one of the Ceitie tribes to come into conflict with 3n - Bus Caesar, He subdued them, and made of their chief city the Roraan stronghold of Verulam, now St. Alkmnd. When Tascikvanus, who with the. Ciaiuveliaruni had adopted, various Ro- man customs, congnered the Trin- bantes he made Camulodunum file chief etty in p')aee of Verudam. Curio belinus, on sueeeeding his father in Use year 5 b..D., decided to remain theme, built a palace, and established s coinage. Lite many other of the chiefs of that time be envied Roman ways and could speak the Roman tongue. One of his coins bears his name and title--IC:uisobelin s Rex. No purely Roman coin has the 11t Rex. its appearance on Csnobelinus' coins may be the reason why Sae- Winne ao-touiva described him as loins of the Britons. Rome's far -Rung ng arm did not reach him, or at all events' did not interfere with lnhn, but when he died in 43 A.D., iereaderg kis country to his sons, Caraetaeirs and Togodurromus, Rome stirred again. Claudius; the . Roman eaaaperor, sent Arias P9antins Savanna with 40,-000 mien to conquer Bx•3taln. One of the legions was commanded by Veepazhen. The 1 eman general fought and defeated Caractaeas and tOii brother on the Medwasr, and un- der the leadership of Clandins him- self comlaleted the subjugation of ail the southern tribes. A new kesnasn capital was I4tcrlt at Oamniodanum, a charter was given to the colony, and C1ar a went back to Rose and the old tribal town was submerged beneath the Ro- man city. NURSEMAIDS TO SEALS. `Vatasht Great Away aAorort 7 i is to !heeding Grounds. Warships of the United States and Canadian navies annually accompany a huge crowd of seals to the Brit! .Islands in the Behring Sea. These naval vessels act an escorts is order to prevent sealers from attacking toes victims until the season arrives that is allowed by law. A few years ago, seals were being slaughtered in such immense num- bers that it seemed.prebab a that the creatures would vanish altogether from the a heal world. So the Gov- ernments of Qre t Britain., the Unit- ed States, Ruses and Japan earanged a treaty among themselves to safe- gna.rd this great army of %Pal., ea its journey through thousands of lanes of sea to its breeding -grounds, ether - wise known as rookeries. Immed1ately the seals land on the Wands, vindictive struggles for so- premacy begin. The animals fight for the best positions to establish des for their wives and children The female seals arrive in July. In November, the rookeries -are aban dosed again. The seals voyage forth along the southbound course, where live most of the fid on which they feed. The brio makes good use of the seal ita skin fashions covers for his boat and tent, and from its body he gets on, food, einthing, feel and light. MB NAVY Di M• ATO"iilia. Royal tniited Service Museunx's Woos de sl Collection of Modeles The Royal United Service Stuiseum in Whitehall, London, e on1•d prove a f scii th g place for any oa's inter- ested in strips. The wonderful collection of mtx4- eis there enables the visitor to trace the whole roam ee of British sea power from the days of sail and the "wooden wane" of Nelson and him predeeessors, through the ebra»ging period when steam was introduced, and so right up to the latest types of modern battleships, protected by steel and driven by oil fusel. Nearly a.11 the ships represented have played an important part in British naval history, brit one parti- cularly interesting model is that of a Freneh ship, the Irxtperiale, which Was built during the early years of the nineteenth century, and was then. described, as the moat powerful and finest vessel which had ever been constructed in any country. However, at the Battle of Santo Domingo, in 1806, she was run ashore by a British squadron anti captured. The ship was burned, hut the mod- el of her which was on board was taken out, and finally found a resting place ht this museum. Princess Louise.. Princess Louise, who reeently cab- hinted el0orated her 82nd birthday, was the first daughter of a reigning monairh to marry a commoner.7`i he eldest surviving child of Queen Victoria, and aunt of our present King, her engagement in 1871 to the then Mar- guess of Lorne, afterwards Duke of Argyll, caused considerable surprise, as she was the first English princess to marry beneath the degree of roy+- alty, Theprincess was left a tsrinew In 1914, and there was no child of the marriage. She is remembered in Canada as the Marchioness o>` Lorne.

Weir, Minister, of Agri- culture, Ottawa,: 1931 Fruit Syrups In the home canning of fruits the syrup used is an important factor in success. The kind of syrup to use varies with different fruits. In pat- ting up raspberries, peaches and pears use 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of wa- ter; for rhubarb and cherries, 1 cup of sugar to 1. cup ,of water; and for. strawberries arid plums use 2 cups of sugar to 1 of water. ,All syrups should be boiled five minutes before being added to jars. Fill jars with fruit, packing as firmly as _possible. without crushing then cover with, syrup. Butter Exports The extent to which butter is again growing as a factor in the export trade of Canada is shown by the mar- ket report issued by the Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch for the week ending July 4, 1931. Total exports from May 1 to July 4 this year were 53,778 packages as compar- ed with 1,584 packages for the cor- responding period last year. Receipts at Montreal for the same period, to- talling 251,219 packages, show an in- crease of 89,268 packages over 1930. More Dollar Wheat for Western Farmers That the day of dollar wheat is still with us is clearly shown by spe- cial feeding tests conducted during the past winter at the federal Experi- mental Station at Rosthern, Sask. Tests were made with low grade ,bar ley and wheat. Twenty head of year- ling Shorthorns were used in the test and the grain was fed with cut oat sheaves. It proved slightly cheaper to produce a pound of grain with bar- ley than with wheat but the import- ant feature of the tests was the value found for ,these grains when market- ed through beef cattle, and this was as follows:— Market values are For With steers Barley selling at per bush. 10 cts. per Ib. $1.59 9 1.57 8 " 1.15 et t 1.05 7 11 94 6i " .83 6 " .72 51 " f t .61 5 51 4's " 4 " f .29 .45 The lot fed ground wheat appeared to relish their ration better than the lot fed barley, but there was no waste in either lot. An average of five pounds of grain per day per head was fed. This shows conclusively that live stock are rapidly increasing in importance as a medium for the marketing of grain crops.

Proves Quality With the increasing demand for high production laying stock Record of Performance for Poultry comes in- to its own. It is only by such a sys- tem of practical trap -nesting on the owner's premises over a consistent period that the real worth of laying pullets can be determined on a basis which is commercially practicable. It is from such flocks as these that the supply of high grade male birds to ! head breeding pens for the coming season are largely Rtveileble, With the present; trend toward efficiency in production th male bird ways se in- creasingly intportent part. It is the male bird. more than any other, sin, gle factor upon wltieh success in the breeding for production depends. It is estimated that, on a basis of seven male birds for every one hundred breeding hens, over 7,000 pedigreed. cockerels will be required to meet the demand of the eornai g season. hairy Herd Profits A profit of $1,408.02 over cost of feed from a dairy herd of ten cows is an item of special interest in the annual report of 1930 for the Domin- ion Experimental Farm at Indian Head, Sask. This represents anav- erage profit over . cost of feed of $140.80 under the . difficult conditions of last year on the prairies. The feed cost per head averaged $42.73, and on most farms Practically all this cost would ' be added profit through the marketing of available feeds thru the dairy herd, The low producer in the record was only milked 118 days, showing a profit over feed of $49,63, while the high producer was Tulloch- gorum Dorothy, in milk 355 days, showing a profit over feed, cost of $317.51. Butter -fat average for .the. herd was 4,.34 per . cent. Farm Products Trade. Canada's total trade in farm pro- ducts (exports and imports) for the year ending March 31,. 1931, amount- ed to $455,720,155. Of this amount, $145,732,632 were imports and $309,- 487,523 exports. Trade with the Un- ited Kingdom amounted to 'a total of $213,109,820, of which $59,235,159 were imports and $153,874,661 ex- ports. During the same period im- ports of farm products from the Un- ited States totalled $50,577,870 and exports amounted to $42,378,616. Helps in 'Weed Control An interesting feature in connec- tion with the use of coinmercial fer- tilizers when drilledin with grain crops is the fact that weeds are kill- ed out by the heavy growth of the grain plants. Extensive tests in the growing of grains with fertilizer drill- ed in with the seed carried out by the Dominion Experimeptal' Station at Scott, Sask., show that not only do increased yields result from the use of phosphatic fertilizers, but damage from wireworms is lessened and the rapid plant growth which results lit- erally smothers out weeds.
