news that Trietan d'Auunha now contains

years old. Four years ago the population
numbered. 110 souls, but that year a terrible

It was a year of terrible gloom, for the die.

earlier the island with its snow-capped vol -

Lambert, who had decided to emulate Rob-

with two comrades and began to till the soil.
To their great dismay a little garrison of

exceeded the deaths until the fatal year of
1886, when fifteen of the colony found
watery graves in a day. But Mr. Green
writes dolefully that the young folk are
ehowing a inost reprehensible desire to nee
the world, and are emigrating to Cape
Town and other places, Now and then
somebody who is tired of the bustle and
competition of civilized life turns to the
island for relief, and if he is it worthy per-

is not holding its OWn. Families are large,
children multiply, and, in fact, in such
honor is the head of a large household held

Turn Your Baok on the Past,
The Chistian life is ono of new relations -
The Christian is hiinself a "new creature,*
with new hopes, neov prospects, new rela-
tions, new purposes, and to 11014 destiny.
He should therefore turn his back upon the
past. Most of the troubles of the Christian
mese from & forgetfulness of this. A goal
a,,,a of the old creature survives in the now..
Many believers are only half converted -
changed ia the head, not in the heart.
Hence former relations prove a source of'
wealcness, and produce a divided life.
