There we shall see his face,
And never, never sin;
There, from the rivers of his . grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
Yea, and before we rise
To that immortal state,
The thoughts of such amazing bliss
Should constant joys create.

To make our pleasures less.

Or walk the golden streets.

some lines in his poems shots us,
Once at a hotel, a gentleman was ov-
erheard to remark contemptuously
"Whatt is that the great Dr. Watts?"
Turning on his heel like a shot the
poet replied in a verse from his first
book, "Lyric Poems":
"Were 1 so tall to reach the pole,
Or grasp the ocean with my span;
1 must be measured by my soul,
The mind's the standard of the pian.
We may recall also the quiet hit in
the line "And songs before unknown"
in his first hymn written in response
to the good deacon's speech, "Well,
young man give us something better,"
when young Isaac had' complained of
the poor qualityof the hymns used
in the Southampton chapel services,

it so. Some of the beauties of poesy
are neglected, and some wilfully de-
faced, lest a more exalted turn of
thought or language should darken
or disturb the devotion of the weak-
est souls."
The opinion of the present day is
that hymns represent the grandest
use to which poetry may be applied,
that the finest flights of poetry sug-
gest the music of heaven, of which
our hymns are echoes. Nor is Watts
always consistent with his own
theory. Some of his finest hymns,
notably his, "Our God, our help in
ages past,""When I survey the won-
drous Cross," and "Jesus shall reign
where'er the sun," are rich with the
beauties of poesy, and express the
very highest exaltations of thought.
Remembering that most of his hy-
mns were composed for use on the
following Sunday, and that for some
years he felt constrained to write all
the hymns for both services, it is a
greater wonder that so, many of them
were good than that some of theni
are undoubtedly feeble and poor. It
was during his preparation for the
ministerial office in the Independents
or congregational denomination that
the majority of his hyrrias were writ-
ten for the chapel his father attended
at Southampton.
After leaving home Watts lived for
five years as tutor to the son of Sir
John Hartopp, M.P., at Stoke New-
ington. That gentleman was a warm
admirer of Dr. Cromwell, a notable
Puritan divine, and tool, down in
shorthand many of his sermons which
have been, and indeed still are, val-
ued by many. In 1698 the influence
of his patron secured for. Watts an
appointment as assistant .minister of
the Independent Chapel in Mark
Lane, London; of which John Owen
had once beet; pastor. Four years
later he was chosen to succeed Dr.
Chauncey as minister in charge. Soon
afterwards his health failed once
more, and an assistant was granted
him, who practically carried on the
work for forty years.
In 1712 the Rev. Isaac Watts, who
never enjoyed very 'robust health,
went for a week to recuperate at
Theobald's, the residence of Sir Thos.
Abney, one time. Lord Mayor of Lon-
don, and remained there for .thirty
six years—until the end of his life,
When fit, for it, he drove to church
and preached, but was under no con-
straint to do regular duty. He wrote
a good deal, and much' that he wrote
upon history, philosophy and logic
had enduring value.
It was when thirty-three years of
age in 1707 that he published his sec-
ond book "Hymns and Spiritual
Song," In which our hymn "Conte,
we that love the Lord," is found. It
bore the title Heavenly joy on earth"

ANCU3NT SANATORRUM
Temple of Aesculapias, ;Dating Sixth
Century )3.C., Found by;.
Arci1.aeologiets.
Archmoioglate liaverecently brought
to.ligiit what is thought to be an.e of
f
the roost aneient shrines in honor o
the ,;;;od of medicine, AeseulaPtiis,
says the New York Times. iD caval-.
!ng for the Italian administration of
the Dodecanese the scientists have.
been in search of a temple to the god
on, the island of Cos, in the Turkish
Archipelago, in the region anciently
known as the Myrtoan Sea. This is-
land lies at the mouth of the Gulf of
Cos, more than 100 miles south of
Smyrna. The 'settlement began as a
Dorian colony and was made up of a
group of followers of the cult of Aes-
eulapius who went out from Epidau-
rus and established sanatoria for the
sick as 'far back as the sixth ren -
0.
The oracle, despite all that human
beings have asserted, whispered the
word that Aeaculapius was boat. at
Epidaurus. He was believed to be the
son of the god Apollo and the nymph
Corenis. -With such magic endowment
as his distinguished parenthood gave
him his powers were great,and
around hie reputed birthplace devel-
oped one of the most fatuous shrines
of ancient Greece. To it came philos-
ophers and men of science as well as
the sick who sought healing; A great
theatre was built where the trage-
dies of ancient Greece were given and
games were held every year.
From Epidaurus the cult spread.
Wherever there were healing springs
and in the mountains where the 'air
was health -giving temples were built
in his honor. It was supposed that
if the sick slept in these places the
god would come to them in their
dreams, restoring them to a state of
well-being.
Next to Epidaurus themost fam-
ous shrine to the god was at Cos. As
usual in ancient Greece, a beautiful
sitewas selected on which to build
the temple , on the side of Mount
Prion. There were three terraces.
Prom the upper one the temple of
the god looked out in mire majesty
over the sea. It was surrounded
by a sacred grove of cypress trees.
Marble porticoes stretched the length
of the terrace. A broad flight of steps
led up to it. Below' were ,three small-

Archaeologists who did extensive

TYRANT WHALES.
Old Buil-Whales Reep the Younger
Rivals From Cows.,
Increase in the number of whales
and improvement in their size and
quality are likely to result .from a'
more intensive .A:ntaretic whaling sea-
son, in which Great Britain will take
a prominent part. This, at least, is
the opinion of Mr. A. J, D. Smellie,
the expert whose arm were the Gov-
ernment's whale -oil agents during
the war.
"Before' the war, ' Mr, Smellie said,
"a marked decadence in the breed of
whales was noticeable,' due 'to, the
large numbers of fierce old bull-
-whales who kept their younger rivals
away from the cows. .
"During the past few years, how-
ever, the enormous profits made by
whalers have led to intensive hunting
and the introduetion'of more efficient
methods of capture. This has brought
about the destruction of many of the
tyrant bulls, and 'will have good re-
sults. But much remains to be done,
onthe principle of the g mekeeper
who kills off the old cock 'pheasants
to improve the breed.
"Recently. formed Anglo -Norweg-
ian
Norweg-ian venturees are already equipping
for the next Antarctic season, and
their co-operation should have a salu-
tary effect on the industry.'
