Trustful blindness is better than wor- eying sight. A pedestrian noticed two persons coming tower& him at night, and was particularly impressed by the leering of one, who was walking straight ahead at a good gait, head up, ehoulners back the wliole manner bespeaking ex- cepa:1nel confidence ana freedom from all uncertainty or worry. And then, on looking closely, he saw that this one was blind, being led by the other. Of course the blind one could walk confi- dently, for he bad something better than sight; he had a guide. This confident bearing of the .blind is not exceptional; it is their usual manner, as we all know, How• strikingly it .contrast e with the worried, uncertain look of those whose seeing eyes' shift constantly here and there in the effort to seee danger and. avoid it Blindness is the best training for calm and quiet faith; therefore the Lord provides blindness for us all, in our spiritual walk. •We cannot see that which is ahead and we need not; but we have a Guide who is safer than sight. The Glorious 'Gospel. (By Rev. George Richardson, in Canad- ian Baptist.) "The glorious gospel of the blessed God." -1 Tim. 2: 11. Let us 'bring these Matters to .the practical test, the test of actual exper- iment. The Gospel is a revelation and as . such it Sheds light on many subjects of vital intereet to mankind, on which they could never have reached any sat- isfactory conclusions without it. Take the fitet of sin, and what alt appallieg fact is the feet of human sin, and where outside of the Gospel does man find any rest or satisfaction in regard to it? It needs no Gospel to. convict • men of sin, of wrong -doing. The con- sciousness of sin and. ite deserts', are ' inseparable from man's being as a sin- ner. Man cannot shake out of him :the fact of sin, nee can he rid himself of the dread of its penalty. On this fact of sin man is paihfully exercised, so painfully exercised at times'as to find his life it burden in- toleritble to be borne. When a man feels that he is righteously condemned. and exposed to the wrath of God, under such eirctunstatices, what would be the most glorious news such it men could receive. If you could assuee him of the remission of his sins, would not that be the most glorious news you could take to him? Let me suppose the case of some one, present, it may be, that you feel your- self it sinner before God, that the con- sciousness of your sin and its desseet oppresses your soul, that it fill the present with darkness and the future with .the blackness of darkness.. Such, as a sinner, is your experience, and while you are dumb with grief and help- less to estape from your sins, the Gos- pel brings you tidings that you limy be forgiven righteously forgiven, freely, fully and eternally forgiven. Now, I ask, would not such an experience be as life from the dead, would it not be glorious, would it not be a liberty eono _pared with evhieli all other liberty is bondage. Whitt can equal the joy, the blessed- ness of that spiritual emancipation which the sinner experiences when the Gospel opens his prison door and sets him free from the condemnation of law, bringing him -into the glorious liberty of the sons o ess o viction -that his sins are forgiven, that the wide gulf betwixt himself and his Maker is filled up; that he is no•longer an outcast and an alien, but a wanderer restored to his former unity, dignity and peace. What it bliss is this! How glor- ious! Yes, it is a glorious Gospel whieh tells tbe sinner, not merely n tempor- ary auepeneion of punishment, but re- demption, even the forgiveness of sins, the liberty of Spiritual emancipation. New this is "Avlutt the Gospel Offen to every one of us, it free, full, present and eternal pardon. And, 11A sinners. we mime take hold of the Gospel at title point of oer need and its promised re. lief. The Ciospel tells every man to whom it eomee that he may be Daniell- e& And no man ever became a partak. er of the initial blessing of the Goepel without feeling that no words so aptly and adeguntely describe the 'Gospel as the word Glorious.

Thatrestless pulse of the ocean, the tale, worka wouttere everywhere, but in ,tistel about the Day of Fundy, where it attaine its gretitest height, its manifes- tations are the ntost varieth Here is an arta of the mean from thirty to fifty inilea wide, exteuaing for 180 miles 'between the Canadian Provinces of Nova Scotia And New Brunswick. It is pro- longed further into Chigneeter Channel end the Basin of Mimes and their ninny tributaries. Into this bay the Rea pours twice every , twenty-four hours an immense volume of water . Theoretieelly there are fur Wee a day, the motile and the eon causing two tides eitelt. But the :solar titles Are so much larger than the lunar and so largely merged in them that they escape notice, Twice a month, however, the moon and the suii pull together, resulting in the unusually high spring tides. When the pull of the sun Is at right angles to that of the moon, at the first and two terof the moon, the neap tide*, which. are always low, occur. The riee of the tide in the Bay of Fundy varies from 12 feeteet a. low neap tide. to 00 feet or more at a high spring tide. The variation is fee from regulaa as loeal couclitions enter into the Feb- lem. OR the Nova Scotia side of the Bay the tide is held in. check by a wall of precipitous basaltic rocks,. from ZOO to • 0.00 feet high, Immo as the Ninth Moun- tain, From Brier Island, at the mouth of the bay, to Cape. 131oinieloto nearly 200 miles, there is only one break in this rocky barrier. This is Digby Gut, 700 yards wide, hi h leads iaio the beautiful Annie, Y Basin. Through this narrow opening the tide rushes with great force to spread itself over the basin. The Annapolis River, which if left to. itself would be only a streamlet, becomes navigable at high tide far fourteen miles. The basin itself is causeLl by the oontin- ual submergence of the lower reaches of the levee bed. The water sweeps with mighty force through Minas Channel into the Basin of Minas, the same Basin of Minas which Evangeline could see from her front porch and in which, for all we know to the contrary, she paddled barefooe at high tide.From Mines ilitsin the tide reaches long fiug,ers into the land. Southwesterly, back toward Annapolis Basin, it hes five river beds for its own. Two of those, the Cornwallis ana the Habitant, are navigable for many miles at high tide. To the southward and the southeast are the River Avon and UAW: quid Bay, ruoning deep into the land. Watch Mimes Basin and its envirees for a day and you will see many wonder- ful transformations. Small streams, some too small to merit a name, wan- dering pettishly in a waste marsh, turn into respectable rivers, then at highest tide into broad estuaries; peninsulas are cut off from the lend and become Wands; broad stretehe.e of uninteresting ]uud fkttsare f1oded deep; the entire basin and its many arms fill up to their .green and yellow beim of forest and pasture, orchards and tilled laud. This periodical flooding of the flats adjacent to river beds has created vast neutral tracts which are neither sea, nor land, and which remain neither ,one nor the other long enough to be of mueh.ese as either. Two hundred years or. so ago, in the early days of the Frenoh occupa- tion, these neutral tracts were much more extensive. The French took issue with the greedy sea, and before the all -wise British Gov- ernment saw fit to eenpty Acadia of its settlers thousimds of fertile acres, at Grand Pre and elsewhere, had been 3k - claimed. The English, colonels, from Maine and Massachusetts mostly, who took up these lands, extended greatly this work. • The practical elimination of the Can- ard River illustrates the, progress that has been Made. The Frame first buil; a wall of mud and lock across the rieer's upper reaches a dozen miles or ea from the mouth. In worked beautifully. They grew bolder and threw up breast- works against the tide a few miles fur- ther down. Sumas attain attended their efforts. Their audacity could not be contained . and the Grand Canard dike was built • about four miles from the basin. Then came the English, who defied the tide too do its utmost and hunt the Wellington dike across the river bed and the marsh almost at the river mouth. These successive operations have re- claimed bottom lands of perhaps fifteen miles in length by from a quarter of -a. mile to two miles in width. .The soil produces a huturiant crop of hay and affords excellent grazing ground in the late summer and fell. Ports of the dikes built by the French still remain.. The tide leaves the immeshes which are still unrecIaitued bare of water for peri- ods long enough to enable a scanty growth of salt grass to struggle up- ward. In the late summer the Nova Scotia. fareter mows this- grass, for it makes fodder much appiTahated by cat- tle in the long witter. But though the farmer has his bay - he tenet get it to the learn, for the ' marsh, though it will bear the weight of man, will not bear the weight of the horses and wagons. So the shit hay is , gawked up on piles. When winter sets n and the marsh freezes over the farm - Or carte the hay away' on sledsat his leisure, ' In the autumn months these marshes 'dotted here and there with what look _ like brown huts on piles, present an odd. appearance, especially et high •epritig tides. Soinethnes the farmer it cheat- ed of his heeveste An extra, high tide at the early winter will sweep f °sting ice against these haystack, knock them off the piling and then bear them out - to sea.

Violates who merely meth glimpses of tidal mailifestatione from var windows carry away many mistaken ideas, Three Californians, A mau And two wonien,did the Annapolis Valley last September by inalciug the journey easteverd from Yar. mouth one day and returniog • on the next. The trainwas passing Bridgetown, which is at the head of navigation of the Annapolie River, ontheir return jouriev when one of the women re • marked to her companiens: °$ee that ship over there in the mea. dews. It WAS brought there on, the rail- road. When it is unloaded and loaded uo again the railroad will carry it back te the water. That's what they told me yesterday. Ien't it wonderful?" Now, Nova Scotia railroads. aren't . built to carry thousand ton ehips. So a young man who know the country felt it ins duty' to inform her that the ship had come up the natural way end that the river was only taking a few hours' vacation, She seemed to think itat even more wonderful. On the northern side of the Bay of Fundy the tide is responsible Ior two phenomena which get good notices in the guide books, the reversing fans in the barber of St. John and the *ire in the Petitcodiac River. The St. John River enters the harbor through a gorge. Stand on the bridge at the turn of the tide and you will see the water running both ways at once. There is a decided fall froin the river to the barber and a decided fall from the lesabor to the river. The effect is very picturesque and very wonderful. Here 19 what happens. The bed of the river is seventeen feet higher than the bed of the harbor. At low tide the bed of the river is twelve feet higher than the level of the harbor.. Thus we get it fair sized waterfall. At high tide, however, the level of the water in the harbor is five feet above the level of the river. So twice every twenty-four hours the rapids are re - `versed. The Petitcodiac River is an arm of Chign.ecto Channel. About thirty miles from its mouth it takes it decided bend. At the bend is the city of Moncton. Moncton used to be known as the Bend, but that was before it got ambitious. At present Moncton has three institu- tion:is the. railroad shops which the Gov- erment is building for its Intercolanial Railroad, a steam roller which wanders amiably about the shaded streets ap- parently with no other purpose than to scare timid horses, and the bora Of theee three the bore has the advantage of immorality. • The daily papers print the time table of the bore's appearance, as well as the ratIrea.d time tables. The bore is hard working and conscientious and lives up to its schedule; the railroads aro hard working, it is time, but as to achedule-- well, there is no record of it train having been on time. But what colds? There's no hurry. Vulgar haste is left to those benighted regions generally referred to as "the States." But We set 4/t to tell about the bore. It comes up the river twice every twen- ty-four Imam its appearance being a little less than an hour later each -day. Some days it is more Worth looking at than on others;depending on whether it is the spring or neap tide season and on the condition of the river itself without the tide. Given conditions conducive to making a "good" Yore and a moonlit evening and you will have a sight well worth watching. It is agreed that thebest place from which to view the bore is the wharf at the foot of Pleasant street. Go there on a moonlit evening, about fifteen neinutes before the bore is scheduled to arrive. You will find a goodly company assem- bled. Many of the onlookers have been doing this for years -it relieve* the mo- notony of life in a small efty. You peer over the edge of the wharf. Below you, thirty feet or more, is mud . -slimy, red, unlovely. You look across the river bed. More mud, still red, slimy, unlovely. Here and tkere are patches of water lying still or flowing lazily sea- ward. The opposite bank is more than a mile away. Nothing at all to enthuse • over in this expanse of water and mud. Suddenly you hear a faint rumble. It is the bore, forming some dozen miles below you. The rumble grows louder, filially increasing to a roar as of many railroad trains passing over it bridge. A mile or so below the bend begins. You watch that point, and around it comes 9. wall of foaming water five or Rix feet high. The roar increases- in Intensity. As the bore advances rapidly - the spray flashes into sight, woven by - the moonbeams into fantastic shapes. Before you realize it the wall of wit - ter Is upon you and has passed. A few miles further on and it ceases to be a bore. The river bed is now all covered with water. The mud is mercifully cov- ered up.' . But you need not depart at once, thinking you have seen it all. For the bore Is but the advance agent of the tide which rises majestically and Irresis- tibly. You may see it creep _inch by inch up the piles of the Wharf. If a ship is moored theer you may watch the water reach her keel, then reach upward, grad- ually to the water line, until at last ehe floats again in the clement for Which she was intended. A few how* and you are on the shores of it mighty river, navigto blo for big eraft. You caIl to ndnd that stretch of mutt and you marvel. The oldest inhabitant will telt yoU that bores today are not What they used to be. Nowadays it it rare when one stretehes Wear across the three. There will be a bore on one side and just a ripple on the other, or there will be two bores With a break of plain tieing tide betWeen therm But years and yeere ago all betels vere good ones, yes, eirea They Were iiinch higher, and their roar Was ehnply indeseribable. it matter of feet, the bore is UMW. times dangerous to shipping. Not Manv years ago a big spring tide bore seized a large echohmer moored at the Pleasant street Wharf, tote It from its fastenings itad carried it rapidly up atrearn.

You are not going to be it success any more than the average lottery player 14 going to be a winner, or the average human being live to be 60 years old. Average Player Can't Win. Quito true, there are winnere in lot- teries, and there are people who are 80 years of age, but the average lottery player le not a winner, the average per- son never gets to be 80. So the average worker cannot be a success; the fatal figures make it impossible. The extra- ordinary exception wins; the average does not. Dun's and Bradstreeta commie:lel agencies compile etettistics regarding the proportion of sucee.se and failure an busi- mess. 01 100 people starting in business, all lines, all amounts of capital consider- ed, 05 fail and drop out. The other five, one -twentieth of the whole nuraber, stay in business, and of this number an aver- age of one, or a proportion of 7 in 100, wins what May be called a success,. So in business the average person i hs doomed to failure; and the pareon who is in a position either through his own efforts or through. fortunate circum- stances to start in business for himself is just so much farther ahead of the average worker as a man with 'some cap- ital is ahead of the men witheut it cent. He is up one stage of the hill with the flinch coveted top. The percentage which perish in the climb from the bottom to hiastarting point is inuneasurably larger than that which falls from his ranks on the way farther up. One in 100,000 is Rich. Of the average worker in this country -the best country on the face of the earth for the worker. One in 1,000 earns more than a "living g .ra One in 6,000 saves as ,much ai his best year's income. One in 20,000 is independent when he "breaks down" or is "let out for old age." One in 26,000 is Ina position of respon- sibility. and importance. One m 50,000cworks into the firm." One in 100,000 is "rich," therefore "suc- °e508nfule .1"n 600,000 is "a greet man." One in 1,000,000 is ectisfied-possibly.

His'g pay, higher than anywhere else in the world., puts within his ,reachaloxuries which, from habit, become eonsideted: as neces- sities. The abundance of employment, makes the much bruited "rainy day" nothing of a menage, arid consequently but a small pere'entifge lay anything up , against its arrival. It is the manwho saves who wine, and the disinclination of the worker for saving is not offset even by the national spirit of ambition which prompts him to work for a hold on the ladder that leads to the top. The successive rungs of the leader, the feat of saving it little being the first one, weed out the great army that tries to make the climb with increasing swift- ness. As the rounds go higher the moot_ bee that is dropped off grows larger, tale number of theta who hang onlewer, Opportunities, not to consider tlie ques- tion of ability, decrease as the altitude intreasee.
