She was told that it was in her home in an • old pocketbook, and that she would get it. When Mr. • and Mrs. Durst returned home they found that some rings, six in all, were also missing, • and this caused More anxiety. Early the next morning Mr. Durst drove to Wroxeter and consulted the Prof: Mr. Gladstone at once drove to Wroxeter to the Durst home and 'aslc- ed for the young man who boarded there. He was finally located in the barber shop, and the professor de-. mianded the jewelry. The young magi denied the accusation, but was order- ed to go to his boarding house and produce the stolen goods. He was told to give them to the party he stole them from. He finally produc- ed them from his room and gave them to Mrs. Durst. He was not `placed under arrest, ; but was ordered to pack up his clothes and leave the village. The young 'Welshman, Dav- id Harman by name, had only been. in Wroxeter for about three months, •working on the bridge there, and he seemed of a very giiiet disposition. Constable Town, of Wroxeter, as- sisted the professor in the capture of the young man. GEORGE WILLIAMS Official C. N. R. Watch Inspector Repairing 'Our Specialty. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Phone 5.

Calmer yet and calmer In the hours of pain, 'urer' yet and surer Peace at last to gain. Suffering still and doing, To His will resigned, And to God subduing Heart and will and mind, Higher yet and higher, • Out of clouds of night; Nearer ydt and nearer Rising to the light— Light serene and holy Where my soul may rest Purified and lowly, Sanctified and blest. Swifter yet and swifter Ever onward run, Finer yet and finer Step as 1 go on; Oft these earnest longings Swell within niy breast, Yet their inner meanings Ne'er can be expressed: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of Germany's greatest poets, reckon- ed among the most famous literary men the world has produced, is cred- ited with the original of this hymn. Son of Johann Caspar Goethe, a law- yer, he was born at Prankfort,am- Main in 1749 and died at Weimer in 1892. His well known drama of Faust is one of the world's classic's and as an opera is often performed in the great centres of civilization and in various languages, Although there is a religious and Christian trend in Faust, and in some other of his writings he himself has said that he wrote no poems suitable for use in public worship In spite of that, however, the beauty, moral- ity and popularity of his Faust, first published in 1808, has led several translators to cast many of his :lines into formswhich would make them serve as hymns, and as such some of them have made their way into Unitarian hymnals. Inh-°Christian d most cases the an churchly sense of these translations, cannot be said to belong altogether to ,the, originals but have been im- ported into them. Who it was that translated Goethe's lines into the form of our hymn is notn certainly, oknow ce tail It wasdecid- edlyedly not as some have thought, Thos.. Carlyle the Chelsea philosopher who translated ,Goethe's masonic song written for the Free Mason's lodge. at Weisner, into an English "form, in "The Masoii ways are a type of existence," parts of which have been included in some United States hy- mnals and used both in lodge and church. Our hymn is not at all in. Carlyle's style, nor are the lines as near to their original as that writer g always tried to keep. Whoever did cast Goethe's words intotheir form as printed herewith, made a good job of it and gave us a useful hymn, uplifting, practical, and not without -spirituality. No one is likely to object , to the admission in- to modern hymn books of a hymn written by so renowned a poet, :es- pecially when it possesses attributes which from a literary and religious point of view make it a decided ac- quisition to them.. Our readers may be glad to have such a hymn as this, not,to be found in many modern hymnals, for private use,' especially when set to the music of so celebrated a composer so sacred music, as the '.Reverend Dr, J. 13, Dykes, whose hymn tunes are ' the highly valued gift of our days to the saered harmonies of the ages, The hymn may be compared, verse by verse, with the Reverend Thring's "Saviour, blessed`+ Saviour, Listed while we sing," not forgetting to note its graduations, "Purer, Canner, Higher and Swifter," of the soul's progress, in the conception of the German secular poet as compared with the "Nearer, Greater, Clearer, Brighter, Onward andHigher" of the religious i iwriter,'ll el Actually it will be noted the difference is, not sri very, great between the two poets, Mr: Thring dwells upon the attractive power' of the Saviour to bring souls to Himself, the centre of all right desires. Goethe upon the wish of the soul to rest in ' Him, whose cry is, "Come unto Me all ye 'that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Only those who are commonly referred to as having "more money than sense" throw their mon- ey away. All others are careful to see they do not get the wortat of any bargain. But one has to be able to look farther than the end of his nose if he is to be sure that he is getting his money's worth. That is the defence of those who buy outside their com- munity, instead of patronizing :home merchants, This is old 'the- ory, the resident of any community makes, (through intensive buying), the low price possible. Then increased patronage to their merchants gives those same merchants a bigger buying op- portunity, thereby 'maintaining a minimum price for good stand- ard merchandise. The price buyer always thinks he is looking out for No. 1 and he says it is not his fault, if the merchant in; his community is nod making any money and is forced out of business. He 'overlooks the fact that he is likely to be as hard hist as anyone else when the merchant closes his doors, but it is a 20 to 1 shot that the buyer is the one who loses, and all be- cause he did not believe in his community merchants sufficiently to.support'them.
