Jesus, these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of Thine;
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine,
I see Thee not, I hear Thee not,
Yet art 'Thou oft with me;
And, earth has ne'er, so dear a spot.
As where Ionmet with Thee.
Like some bright dream, that comes
unsought,
When slumbers o'er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
Yea, though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone,
I love Thee, dearest Lord, atid will,
Unseen but not unknown.
'When death these mortal eyes shall.
seal,
And still this throbbing heart;
The rending veil shall Thee reveal,
All -glorious as Thou art.
• If thought is given for a moment
to such very great hymns as "Abide
with me," "Rock of Ages," "Nearer
m3r God to Thee," it will occur to
some, no doubt, to remeniber that
few hymn -writers have given is more
than one such famous composition.
Bishop Heber wrote us several beau-
tiful hymns, but only once reached
his topmost flight in "Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty," as the
wonderfully fertile Charles Wesley
never surpassed, if he ever equalled,
his "Jesu! Lover of my soul." There
are exceptions, of course; Keble,
Watts, Newman, Boner, Neals are
among them. But even of their writ-
ings it is true that we especially as-
eociate one or two hymns with each
of them. Just as the consent of the
ages has settled on Palin xxiii as the
never surpassed gem of the whole
Jewish psalter.
So Dr. Ray Palmer's name invar-
iably bring to remembrance the splen-
didly perfect hymn:—
"My faith looks up. to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary—
see ,
Savieur divine!"
• But •a fine second to it is his other
hymn printed herewith—like the first
an outpouring of faith and love, Dr.
Palmer composed many hymns, about
forty are fOund in one or other of
the hymn -books, and his "Jesus, Thou
joy of loving hearts," "0 sweetly
•breathe the lyres above," have won
a thoroughly well-deserved popular-
ity. The second place in merit, how-
ever, must go to "Jesus, these eyes
have never seen," which rings cham-
ges upon the inspired apostle's wprds,
"Whom unseen, we love."
Dr. Palmer, it will be remembered,
was a highly esteemed Congregation
minister in the United States, the
son of a judge in Rhode Island. He
was born in 1808 and for some years
served as clerk in a dry -goods store
in Boston. In that city he joined the
congregation ministered to by Rev. S.
E. Dwight, a fifth son of the better
known Timothy Dwight, educational-
ist, divine and literary man, who has
a foremost place among U, S. early
hymn writers Under his influence he
went back to sets -col and thence to
Yale University, graduating in 1830.
F.or a time after that he was a teach-
er in New York, and there wrote his
most famicnts hymn.
Five years later, in 1835, he was
pastor of a congregation in Bath,
Maine. He wrote many hymns while
there, and while travelling in Europe
in 1847, •some of which appeared •in
Lowell Mason's an other songbooks
set to music'. He published several
religious books, and some collections
of poems add hymns, and his poems
were k-athered up in "Poetical Works
of Ray Palmer" in. 1876,
That was two years before he re-
signed the secretaryship of the Am-
erican • Congregational Union, to
which he had been appointed in 1865
on leaving his last pastoral charge
at Albany, N.Y., lie died it his home
after retirement, in Newark, N.J., in
1887.
After 1843 he had not put forth any
hymn until begged by Professor Park
and Phelps, of Andover, where he had
attended a theological school, to help
them in their preparation of the Sab-
bath Hymn Book, which has been
characterized as the most attractive
and valuable of American hymnals to
its date."
For this Dr. Palmer made transla-
tions of four Latin hymns, which at
once took high place among such ver-
sions, but his first original hymn for
it was, "Jesus, these eyes,"etc. He
lad just finished translating Bernard
of ClairVaux! hymn into "Jesus, Thou
joy of loving hearts," which we know
best as "Jesus, the very •thought of
Thee!" From that, his heart still
glowing with the words of that grand
old hymn, he turned to the thought
of the presence of Jesus his Sav-
iour everywhere, and always in love.,
In a sense it is a reflection •of Ber-
nard's hymn, sent back from a heart
as full of devotion to his Master as
was his who wrote The Rosy Hymn'
or ` Jubilus of St. Bernard,as old
writers dub the "Jesu dulcis mentor-
ia," in the twelfth century.
The tune St. Agnes was written for
"Jesu! the very thought of Thee," by
the Rev. J. B. Dykes, Mus. Doc. of
St. Oswald's, Durham, who has giv-
en us many beautiful tunes, including
Nicaea, to which "Holy, Holy, Holy"
is sung, and the well known "Lux
Beninga" that helped "Lead Kindly
Light," into popularity.
Gan. Pacific President tec1areS Faith
in Canada°9 Based on Fine Progress
E. W. Beatty tells delegates to Canadian Industrial Traffic
League that "end is not yet" although this railway has
spent $386,000,000 in past decade in improvements,
new railway facilities, new hotels, new ocean fleets
leading to deeper pride and patriotism in the
Dominion.
That the Can-
adian Paci-
fic Railway
spent more
than 249,000,-
000 on capital
account in
Canada for
Canadian ser-
vices during
the past five
years, and that
"the end is
not yet", was
stressed by E.
W. Beatty,
E. W. Beatty. Chairman and
President of the Company be-
fore the members of the Cana-
dian Industrial Traffic League at
their banquet in Montreal re-
cently. With the filling up
of this country and the advance-
ment of its commerce, not only
will new construction and new
territory be required, but vastly
enlarged and improved facilities in
the older districts will be needed
because they will be outgrown by
the needs of the communities for
which they are provided," he em-
phasized when pointing his faith
in the future of Canada and when
urging upon his hearers and upon
' all other business men a "sympa-
thetic regard for our needs and an
accurate appreciation of what we
have done and are endeavouring to
do".
Declaring that the policy of the
Canadian Pacific Railway was one
of faith in Canada and intelligent
self interest, Mr. Beatty supported
his statements with a series of
graphic and deeply interesting fig-
ures, This policy, he said,. has re-
sulted in capital expenditure of
more than 23863000,000 during the
past decade; nripro.vements and
new construction which .provided
Canada not only with improved
railway facilities but with new
hotels, new ocean fleets and with
a deeper pride and patriotism in
the Dominion as witnessed by the
nation-wide response to the Influ-
ence and appeal of the music festivals held in cities from coast to
east, which festivals he emplia.
Sized, made a substeintial contri-
bution to the cultural life of this
Country and to 'its solidarity as a
nation.
Railway problems, Mr. Beatty
tontinted, were no longer the
problems of the railway operator,
directors and shareholders exclu-
sively. More and Mere the trans-
portation companies were taking
the business Mari generally and the
public at large into their confidence
in order that they could appreciate
railway probleene and in turn give
their Intelligent support to the
transportation eompanies. The
companies have three funetions to
perform: to sepply adequate, ser-
vice at reasonable cost; sufficient
facilities to meet the needs of com-
merce, and to extend and con-
struct ahead of settlement in order
that additional development may
takeplace. These factors, he said,
require adequate compensation for
the service they render and adequ-
more than $368,000,000 during the
ate credit to provide new moneys
for new enterprises. It was true
that the Canadian Pacific was
earning and paying seven per cent
on capital stock from railway earn-
ings, but more was required in
order to create reserve necessary
for annual caffital expenditures or
part of them. Members of the
Canadian Industrial Traffic League
would appreciate the fate of 4
company which had to borrow
everything it spent.
Conditions in Canada during the
lattdr part of 1929 resulting from
the decrease in tbe western grain
crop caused a se(rious decrease in
railway earnings, but the decrease
represented the result of an extra-
ordinary combination of circum-
stances. The railways had not
failed in efficiency nor had the
country suffered from anything
approaching a general depression,
It was not a condition to give much
ground for apprehension and the
situation of 1929 was not likely to
be repeated in subsequent years.
The Canadian Pacific Railway,
Mr. Beatty said, had a peculiarly
national significance in that 97 per
cent of all its investments in rail,
steamship,hotels, telegraphs and
other activities was in Canada, and
from the day of its inception its
policies have been dictated by faith
in Canada and by intelligent self
interest. "I do not know of any
combination of factors which tend
more towards commercial suprem-
acy than a combination of national
sentiment, a sense of public duty
and unremitting striving for effi-
ciency, in otder that the solvency of
the undertaking may never be
questioned end that its owners may
be adequately rewarded," the presi-
dent deolaved when emphasizing
that the Canadian Pacific was out-
standing in these factors.
"Improvements in physical eon
-
(Miens, construction of new lines
and facilities is one way by which
a corporation cart show its faith
arid also its leadership", Mr.
Beatty contintied, "The Canadian
ruffle in the past ten years has
spent Millions of &Bail on capital
account in, conneation with rail-
ways, ft has done many things
which represent a notable contribu-
tion, not only to its own facilities
but to the communities in which
its operations are conducted. In
that short period of time, it Ins
rock -ballasted over 2,000 miles ef
railway, it has increased the weight
of rail mad has block -signalled over
1,300 miles; also it has increased
its rail mileage by almost 2,500
miles, which a few years ago
would have been considered a .con-
siderable system in itself. It has
built at Vancouver one of the most
modern piers in the world for ocean
and coastal freight and passenger
service. It has completed con-
struction and lining of the great
Connaught Tunnel in the' Selkirk
Mountains at a cost of more than
eight million dollars. It has borne
its share of the cost of the great
viaduct in Toronto. It has spent,
millions of dollars in enlarging,
modernizing and strengthening its
bridges and it has made the most
conspicuous development through
the efforts of Canadian engineers
in designing and constructing the
largest and most powerful locomo-
tives in the British Empire.
The value of the Canadian Paci-
fic as a good citizen was pointed
out by the railway President. For
many years, and particularly since
the war the Canadian Pacific and
many other comPanies have en-
deavoured to associate themselves
with, and support many community
movements and to assist hospitals
and educational movements. The
rules which applied to individual
good citizenship also applied to cor-
porations.
It was a frequent and logical
complaint of railweys in the United
States that they were heavily taxed
and that this taxation was almost
crippling in its effect. There was
no disputing the correctness of
that statement insofar as many
railways were concerned, but he
would willingly assume their taxes
if he could be assueed of their
rates. One railway of Canada,
however, did not escape heavy tax-
ation. In 1913 the Canadian Paci-
fic's total tax bill was$1,382,000.
In 1928 it was $8,038,178, an in-
crease of 482 per cent. This sum
represented' taxes at the rate of
$21,962 per day, $915 per hour,
05,25 per minute or 251/2 cents
per second. The Company, he em-
phasized, was making a very sub-
stantial contribution to the Gov-
ernment of the country. The daily
payroll of the Canadian Pacific
was $267,000, its 'daily disburse.,
meet for material and supplies
Was $220,000 ,and its dailytax bill
$21,000. There figuri
es ndicated
the contribution to day by day 'busi.
ness and Applying the same basis
to the total expenditure of all rail-
ways in Canada last year deVeloped
the faet that the total lurri dis-
bursed eXceedecl $600,000,000, or a
little more than $50 for every
Man, woman and elnld in the coun-

GIANT KAU141 TREE
Primeval Trees In New Zealand Are
• Fast Yvishing--are of
Slow Growth.
Only tem great privately owned
• kaarl forests remain in the Dominion
of New Zealand, It is mid, in a de-
spatch to the Christian Science Mon-
itor from Auckland.
One of thee() Is at Whangaroa., in
the far north, where about five
months ago a start was made in cut-
ting about 16,000,000 feet. There 10
no Mill now oil the beautiful harbor
of Whangaroa„ once the centre of a
great timber district, and the logs are
towed down to Auckland, a four
days' to, and milled there.
The other forest is on the Great
Barrier Island, at the entrance to the
gulf on which Aueiclsind is ;situated.
• It has long been known that the
days of the kauri as a commercial
timber were numbered. It is take Olt
the finest timber trees he the world.
It iii stated that a great kauri eon -
tains more millable timber than any
other tree, and as a general utility
soft timber the wood has few if any
• equals. A kauri forest containing
really big trees, up to twelve feet
through, is a wonderful sight. What
is probably the largest kauri tree on
recordovas 24 feet in diameter. The
gray trunks rise from the twilight of
the forest like great cathedral col-
umn: -60 to 80 feet clean up to the
• candelabra -like system of branches.
To fell these giants, cut them into
lengths, and get them to the mill, is
a work of much labor and skill.
Sometimes the logs are rolled into a
river bed above a dam, and at the
right season the dam is "tripped"
and the mass goes roaring down to
the mill. The tree also produces a
valuable gum, which used to be
much in demand. This gum is found
in the ground over great areas where
there are now no trees. orests once
stood in these parts but were swept
away by fire. The gumdigger can tell
from a depression in the ground
where a tree once stood.
From, the earliest times kauri
wood Was prized; ships used to call
at New Zealand ports, long before
there was a British government
there, to get kauri spars. After Euro-
pean settlement there was plenty of
kauri timber at cheap rates, and con-
sequently there was a good deal of
waste. Now this splendid timber is
a luxury. Estimates differ about the
age of these trees, but it is known
that the kettle is a comparatively
slow grower, and the "old men" of
the foreet must be many centuries
old. Indeed estimates run as high as
1,700 years and more. ,
Fortunately there will be kauris
preserved to see as sights. In addi-
tion to small patches of kauri re-
served here and there, two magni-
ficent forests are preserved north of
Auckland. One is thd-Waipoua State
Forest, the largest remaining collec-
tion of kauri trees. This is of incal-
culable scenic value.
TWIN GIRLS ARTISTS.
Brought Up on Lonely Farm, Self -
Taught, Successful Painters.
Miss Elizabeth and Miss Dorothy
Alderson, twins, who live on a lonely
farm at Neasham, in Durham, Eng-
land, have developed a gift for
painting.
They have had no special art lee -
'Sons, but their work is so good that
they have many commissions, and
:they occupy most ofaheir leisure mo-
ments from farm work in painting
and sketching together.
Of tett they werk on the same pic-
ture, sitting on opposite sides of the
table, so that one has to paint upside
down.
Tivin "sympathy" helps to make
this possible. I was told that when
engaged in imaginative work their
Ideas coincide so exactly that with-
out previous planning the result is
just what each expected.
In appearance the twins are almost
identical. Their hair is coiled in plaits
around their ears and each has brown
eyes.
They have exhibited with success
.at the Newcastle Art Gallery, the
Northeast coast exhibition, and at
various agricultural shows.
Saving Life at Sea.

sunk in twenty-five feet of water, and
were still alive after flee minutes.
Mr, Kelly's plans consists of a
watertight compartment fixed to the

OWNS ENTIRE TOWN
1,kansas Planter Develops 60,000
Urea of Cotton and Timber—No
Mayor and o Policemen.
• Induatrialized farming under the
far-eighted genius of R. E. Lee Wil-
son, head of the largest individually -
owned cotton plantation In the world,
created the unusual Arkansas town
of Wilson.
Mr. Wilson rules the destinies of
the town bearing his name because
he owns it, look, stock and barrel.
But his "subjects" say he is a "bene-
volent despot," and eirerybody ap-
pears happy.
By bending science to the develop-
ment of 60,000 acres of cotton and
timber in the alluvial region of East-
ern Arkansas, this energetic. man,
who rose from orpban farm boy to
master of millions, was able to rea-
lize his dream of an ideal workaday
community.
The town has a popula;lon of about
2000,,but has neither mayor nor po-
lice force. While Mr, Wilson actually
owns the town, he prefers to be con.
sidered as holding it in trust for
1 hose whose work has added to its
value.
• The community, forty-two miles.
from Memphis, Tenn., boasts of its
own utlities syslem, supplying ever;
home with electric power, running
water and zewage, a free mail ser-
vice, private protection, and an ice
plant. • e
Other features are a hardwood
inill, a box factory, a stave factory, a
flour and meal mill, cotton gins, a
community centre, aeid a shopping
district.
Besides the vast cotton plantation
d20,000 acres producing a bale la
the acre, the Wilson holdings com-
prise 35,000 acres of timber laud,
and 5,000 acres for feed crops to care
f7r 1,200 mules used in cotton farm-
ing.
The schools care for 400 white and
negro students, and have an all -year
vocational program in agriculture
snd home economics. Deficits in the
school fund are covered by a check
trona Mr. Wilson and his assotiates,
Residents are assessed a small febefor
inedical service and for support of
churches.
Cotton seed production is one of
:he big enterprises in Wilson. M.W.H.
Collins, in charge of the plant breed-
ing on the plantation, in 1928 super-
vised shipment of 1,000,000 pounds
of cotton seed to Louisiana, the gift
of the American Red Cross to flood
sufferers.
Mr. Wilson started as a hardwood
lumber operator, a field in which he
has gained almost as mucb promin-
ence as that of a cotton producer. His
lumber plant has a capacity of 75,000
feet a day. As fast as timber is cut,
the land is cleared and prepared for
farming.
Chief assistant to the economic
autocrat is his son, R. E. Lee Wilson
jr., who is general manager of oper-
ations.
NO ANTS—NO 0000A.
Disturb a Certain Beetle Which At-
tacks the Tea Plant.
"Without Black Ants No Cocoa,"
reads a sign posted at the entrance of
a great plantation in Central Java.
It does not go unheeded, for the na-
tives hand in some four million nests
of these little creatures every year,

black ants live only upon trees in-
fested by the white cocoa louse.
Neither the louse nor the ants injure
the trees. The real enemy is a cer-
tain beetle whose name is Helopeltis,
which also attacks the tea plant.
It has been found that when the
black ants are present the Helopeltis
fails to injure the trees, Apparently
this sap -sucking pest is disturbed by
the activity of the ants, for the lat-
ter do not attack the beeae. This is
why the black ants are protected

Bob White the gentleman's prize. Mr.
John Dinsmore then auctioned the

number and handsomely decorated,

prices. When each gentleman found
his partner and disposed of the con-
