Paris is quite full just now, though Paris
proper has gone to Trowville andot-her‘aea-
side resorts, and one hears less French on the
streets than English or Gordian. 'All because
of the Exposition. We colonists would hove

not been held; in fact, I think our content
would have been greater without: this crowd,
ﬁlling our favorite cafes,taking all-the cabs
and tramways by storm, sitting 'on our seats
in the parks and otherwise rubbing against
our innocent- little weak points. , But the

_ Dean GAY-Em i-‘We. went to Wander
Land yesterday. That does not necessitate
a departure from Bedding by any means,
only, strange as it; may. seem. we, living here,
as we have, all thescyears, had never visited
this particular wonder land before. I binsh,
to state it. for have we not prided ourselves-
upon a thorough knowledge of all the secret
places of our native wild? I have told youa
little of a rock-bound basin in one of our
rivers called the Devil's Mouth. Why every
sweet, wild place in the country should: be
named after his Repuisive Highness I do not
know, but it is true that all that is most
picturesque is christened with his uncanny
title. His unpleasant traces are found upon
the rarest of nature's retreats. Devil’s Gar-
dens and Devil's Dens abound all over the
land.
We will return, then, after this short, but
indignant preamble, to his majesty’s mouth.
Having heard that there was a much more

river, we started in pursuit of it. By we I
mean, ’if you please, Sukey, .Nemmy, the-
child Annie, my dog Fritz, and I,

Following the directions given us we
pushed thro’ a brambly path, slid down the
.side ‘of a deep ravine and found ourselves in
Wonder Land, quite as wonderostruck as a
certain Alice, who made .her way to a place
of similar. name through the burrow of a
very remarkable rabbit.

. With skirts shortened to a_ comfortable
length, and poles to assist us in climbing and
jumping, we started to explore. The western
side of the ravine is higher than the other
and it is crowned by tall, hemlocks, so that
in the afternoon the gloom ' and grandeur of
the place is very thrilling. Damp and
darkness engender all kinds of queer growths
and two huge roots twisting up the side of a
bowlder, presented,in the strange, halfJight,
the startling effect of wrestling serpents.

which ﬁll the sunny uplands, was lost here
in a weird stillness. There were no chatter-

and lowing herds. One almost looked shud-

the very water looked black and threatening
at the foot of frowning rocks; severe rocks,
not softened one degree by clinging ferns
and moss. When we were a little more
accustomed to our surroundings we sang
and chattered, even in the midst of such
solemn beauty, our voices echoing strangely
as we clambered along. Such exquisite and ‘
unfamiliar mosses as we foundl Dame na~
ture surely tries experiments. in? her hidden
places where she thinks no one will discover
her. After. making. collections of three or
four kinds of moss with;which I was unac-
quainted, I was attracted by the brilliant -
coloring of the toad-stools, and another sort
of fungus growth which looked like coral.
There were rare shades of lavender, bright
reds, shaded browns, soft grays and old gold.
I have them arranged upon the moss
upon my table-as I-write, as perfect a gath-
ering of color and as artistic as, any ﬂowers
in the land. I cbnfess to you that Sukey

to what appearance we might present in the
morning. ' .

' MRS. BARNEY'S SERMON.

Strangely enough, the cellar stairs preach-
ed it—atleastthey contributed that very
important: part, the application. , Sister Searls
,had'furniahed thetext in the morning, but
then the semen . might have gone on from
ﬁrstly to the forty-seventhiy without Mrs.
Barney's notice, 'had it not been for the
cellar stairs.

Mrs. Barney ~me hurried that day—she
was always hurriedwand it was warm and
uncomfortable intbe sun‘abiny,‘ stove heated
kitchen,- where-she was hastening to and fro
growing fretted and. tired without slackening
her . speed. . Nealie, standing at the ironing
table, wastiredialso.

“There’s so much to do,"’she said wearily.
“ I don’t see why we-need do the baking and
ironing both in one day. .It makes such a
crowd, and we could have left one for to
marrow." _

“To-mormw will bring work enough of
its own,” answered Mrs. Barney quickly
“ Besides. if we should get, the work all out
of the way the ﬁrst of the week, a whole
day to rest in would be worth something.”

“ But then we shouldn’t take it for sitting,
just because it would be. a whole day, and
something :else ..would be crowded into it,"
murmured Neali'e,‘to . whom one hour now
looked very inviting, andthat possible day
in, the future very. uncertain.

The methcr did’not answer and the young
girl's hand moved moreﬁslowly over the damp
‘musllna as her gaze‘wandered away to the
hills where great trees were throwing cool
shadows. How pleasant the shadeand green-
ness were. The desire to bring it nearer
suggested another thoughtto Noelle. "Some
vines would be so nice at this window,
mother. I could plant them if you would let

-'l‘im dig a little Mic!“ there."

“ Yes, butif we cver-getthe house ﬁxed
up as we want it, we shall have shutters at
that window."

“But we don’t know when we can do that,
and the vines wouldbe so pretty now," urged
Nealie. .
“ Pretty ? Well yes, if we had the whole.
yard trimmed and laid out as it should be. I

done."
Nealie sighed, but was silent, and pres-

“ Nealie," he said, pausing near her table,
The old thing tears awful easy, and I just hit

it against a nail."
He spoke low, but Mrs. Barney’s quick ears

caught the words.

, “'1'th jacket .torn again, Tim? I never
saw such a boy to tear things to pieces! No!
Nealie can’t stop to mend it now, and I can’t
either. I've been intending to get you a new
one, but there doesn’t seem much chance to
make anything new while you contrive to
make so muCh patching and darning upon the
old."

Mrs. Barney shut the oven door with a
snap. Tim was the hired boy, kind-hearted
but careless, and he was rather discouraging.
Board and clothing sometimes appeared to
her a high price for his services. “Hurry,
now, and. pick some (currents for dinner” she

said. , ~ _
.Tim took the tinpail .pointed out to him,

'but he did not hurry as he passed with cloud-

ed face down the 'walk.. The thought of a
new jacket would have been very pleasant a
few minutes;before. The boy drew his bushy
brows into a scowl, and as soon as he was out

"of sight ‘of the house, threw himself upon

the grass and began his currant picking in
a very leisurely style. Then it was that

Sister Scarlesdrove up in her rattling old
buggy, with a horse that was, as Tim said,

‘9 avreg'lar old revolutionary pensioner."

“ If I can't have ﬁne horses and carriages,
I can take a deal of comfort with these,”
was always Sister Searies’ chery comment
upon her eqtlipage. She had an errand at
Mrs. Barney’s, and-vhad stopped on her way
to the village. A‘plump, rosy-faced little
woman she was, not young, only that she
belonged to the decent people who never

grow old; .neatiy dressed, though it was
“‘butthat .old‘pOplin. made over." Mrs. Bar-

ney noticed it while she wastalking, won;
‘derlng a' little that she should have “taken
the trouble, when ‘ she surely needed a new

one." .
- “This room-is- too warm to ask any one to

sit in," she; said. apologeticaliy, placing a

chair for her caller just outside the door.

“When we are able tobave the house altered

to suit us I shall have a stove here in the

summer."

“ In themean time you have this nice cool
porch. ‘gWhat a pleasant place-it is'l"'said
Sister Seal-lea admiringly. ’

“Yes, if one had time to enjoy it,” an-
swered Mrs. Barney. with an uneasy laugh.

“ I'm so hurried trying to get everythnig

aboutj'the place in just the right order, that
I don’t have time!”

“ Take time, Sister Barney, take time !"
said-Mrs. Searie‘s, smilingly, gbut earnestly.-
“Make the most of what you have while you
are working for something better. Don't
crowd out any little sweetness you have to
make room for some great pleasure that's
farther off. You see," she added, blushing a
iittle,-as if her words needed excuse, “it’s
something I had to learn myself, years ago—
never trample on'daisies in a' wild chase after
roses. The roses I havn’t found, but the
daises have been enough to make the path

blight." '

Mrs. Barney looked upon her in some per-
plexity, asshe took her~ departure. She. had
listened with one-half her mind 0n the loaves
of bread in the oven, and the other half did
not fully comprehend what _ had been said.

“Daisies and roses! I don't see what any
sort of flower has to do with wanting a new
kitchen! But ' there! I suppose ministers’
wives, even if they are only country ministers,
wives, hear so much talk that it“ comes nat-
ural to them. Bits of old sermons, like as
any way. Dear me! I don’t get much time
for poetry in my life; I'm sure of that. How
Tim does loiter !"

Tim, meanwhile. had sauntered out from
among the bushes, and_-wns engaged in un-
tying the old horse that Mrs. some, had
fastened as securely as if it could be induced
.under any circumstances to ﬁlm He wlla
moved. to.thlssctof-'galla’ntry,~-partly because
he heard Mrs} Barneylar-call, and was in no
haste to go to the. house- '

“ Tl... will do, thank you, Tim,” said Sis.
ter Searls, nervously anxious to expedite-bis
steps in the way of obedience. “I- think
Mra- Culley ‘8 tomorrow? .

“Yes’ln; she moat always is,” answered
Tim, philomphically, pausing to arrange the
harness with painful deliberation.

“ But my dear boy,” urged Sister Beatles,

' reading something in the knitted brows,
“ you really should try to please and help
her fill you can, you know. She is kind to
you. ”

“Ob,~yes, she’s kind? .Only when I see
one of her kindnesses comin‘ I dodge it ; it
. generally hits a fellow hard enough' to be
‘ uncomfortable,” responded Tim. Then hav-
ing relieved his feelings by this statement
his conscience pricked him slightly, and he
added: “ You see, she’s always in such a
hurry. She can’t come and bring ’e'm; she
has to hitch 'em."

Mrs. Searies meditated as she drove down
the country road.

“ Well, I never thought of that before, but
I do suppose that’s why the Bible speaks of
the Lord’s ‘loving kindness’ and ‘tender mer-
cy’—because there is so much kindness in the
world that isn‘t one bit loving. and so much
mercythat it is Only duty and not tender-
ness. I’ll tell Josiah that." For it happened
that while the good minister pored overhis
books and studied theology, his wife, going
here and there, studied humanity. v-And
though be cooked his own sermons, she often
scanned them. - .

The baking was done at last, the currents
picked, and Mr. Barney’s dinner ready.

“For the bounty bestowed upon us may
we be duly grateful," murmured Mr. Barney,
with head bowed' low over his place. Then
he looked up and remarked that he was tired
of a steady diet of hunt, and eggs, and didn’t
see why they couldn’t have 'a little variety. .
“You would see if you had to cook in the
hot kitchen as I do,” responded Mrs. Barney,
more shortly then her wont- " I’m glad to
have whatever I can get most quickly and
easily. When we have asummer kitchen we
can begin to live as other people do." '

“ If we ain't all old as Methuseler,” com-
plained Master Tommy, in an undertone
which was perfectly audible, “anyway the
chickens will be if 'we can't have any cook-
ed till that time.” He had sniffed the odors
of the baking on his homeward way from
school, and settling his juvenile mind upon
chicken pie for dinner, had been grievously
disappointed.

Warm and weary with her morning's work,
the questions and suggestiOns fretted Mrs.
Barney. ' She felt w'0unded and aggrieved
too, as she moved about. silently after dinner.
No one seemed to see that she cared'as much
for things nice and comfonnble‘as did the
others, she' said to herself. She cored for
more, indeed, since she was willing to do
without much now, and work and plan for
the sake of having things all-that could:
be desired by-and-by. How many .present‘
comforts and conveniences she had forgone
for that! Those very cellar stairs toward "
whose dark and tortuous steps she was tend'g
ing were an example; they could scarcely be
more badly built, or in a more inconvenient
place. Mr.‘ Barney had wanted to remove--
them, but she would not allow him to‘incur
the expense, because-a second removal might
be necessary when the house was thoroughly
rearranged. No, she had preferred to sub
mit to the discomfort all this time. ‘ ,

Nealie’s “.wild cry' from the room above, or
see her husband’s pale face as he lifted her
in his arms.

When she returned to consciousness a

strange voice—the physician's—,mnsuying :

“No bones brokcn, though it’s a wonder
her neck wasn’t, falling in the way she did.”
Slowly she opened her eyes upon a confus-
ed mingling of anxious faces, wet cloths,
and bottles of eamphor and amino, and grad.
ually shc comprehended what had happen-
ed, and her own condition,—not dangerously
injured but bruised and} lamed; and with a
sprained ankle that would keep her apris-
oner for some days-at least. It was a sudden
pause in her busy work—an enforced rest.

She scarcely knew how to bear it, for a mc~

ment, as she remembered all she had plan-

ned to do, until a second shuddering thought
suggested that she might have left it all
forever; then she grew patient and thank-
fu . Yet it seemed. strange to be lying
quietly on the lounge in the best bed room—
the room that had been kept so carefully,
closed to preserve its furniture until an ad-
dition to the house should transmnte it into
aback parlor; to watch through the open
door, only a spectator, while Nealie ﬁitted
to and fro in the kitchen beyond spreading

the table for tea.

How good the childrenjwere that evening,

and how tenderly thoughtful her husband

was coming to her side againand again to

talk or read to her! They had not found
much time for talking or reading together
these late years, she and David; she had
always been so busy when he was in the
house. She had dreamed of aleisure time
coming, though, when they should have
many evenings like this, except the illness.
She had not thought much of illness or no-
cident coming .to mar her plans, or of death
suddenly endingthem. But it ﬂashed upon
her now how many little loving words and
offices anddaily enjoyments had been crowd-
ed out of their homes, and in that brief re-
trospective glance she understood the mean-
ing and the earnestness of Sister Searies' en

treaty.

“ Why, i'ts all kind of real nice and jolly

unable to express his enjoyment of the pretty

more clearly.

she had found her clue, and she meant to

follow it, She had ample time for thought '
in the days that followed, when she was
only able to sew a little nowahd then, on
garments for Tim, or look overseeda for
Nealie's vine-planting; and slowly but surely
she learned her lesson, and brought it back

to health with her—to gather life’s pleasant-

ness as God sendsﬁHis sunshine—day by day.

The New York Tribune thus emphasizes
an important temperance argument: “The
punishment of vice . and . intemperance .does
not end With the vicious.and,'intemperate,,
but the great human family is so constituted
> that one member cannot sin, without- pulling
down others. Thus, in an appalling degree,
are parents answerable for the weakness and
vices of their children. A man drinks mod-
erately and steadily all his life, with no ap-
parent harm to himself. but his daughters
become nervous wrecks, his sons epileptics,
libertines, or incurable drunkards, the hered-
itary tendency to crime having its pathology
and unvaried laws, like scrofula, cousump-
tion, or' any other purelyphysieal disease.

The Milledog‘villc Horror.
A.—

The real cause of the Milledgeville calam-
ity was the indiscreet and unpardonable
conduct of old Mr. Watkins. He (was in
many respects in amnable and upright man,
but he was wholly devoid of delicate con-
sideration for others. He knew that his
daughter was engaged to Mr. Garnet, and
be approved of the engagement, but never-
theless, he would sit in the drawing-room
night ,after night, reading his newspaper,
or, what was even worse forcing his con-
versation upon the unhappy young people.
The result was that instead of passing their
evenings in a reasonable and happy way,
the miserable lovers were compelled to sit
in the opposite corners of along sofa, and
to wonder at the tyranny of the law which
forbids the slaughter of inconsiderate
parents. As for trying to sit the old gentle-’
man out, that was. simply hopeless. Mr.
Garnet did try it on one occasion, but at
1:80 a. M. Miss'Watkins was sound asleep,
withhher mouth prosaicaliy open, and Mr.
Watkins was reading aloud the proceedings
of... the last pork-packers’ cenvention, and
was evidently prepared to keep on reading
until breakfast time. He was probably the
moat hopeless and exasperating father thhli;
ever lived, and ' there was every reasonto
suppose that he could continue to live for
many miserable years. ‘
Immediately in the rear of Mr. Watkins’
house, and resting ﬁshinst it was 'a large
shed. The roof of .this shed had leaked for
along time, until Mr. ‘Watkina, losing all
faith in shingles .' and tin, determined to
cover it with cement. In addition to his
outrageous habit of sitting. up late at night,
he was an atrociously ingenious man, who
was continually dcvising and carrying out
internal improvements in his house, most of
which were painful and dangerous failures.
For the roof or hit shed he invented a new
kind of cementﬁ‘composed of tar, indis-
rubber, and shoe-makers wax, which, be
spread over the roof to the depth of six
inches. It soon {hardened on its surface,
and being undeniably water-proof, it was
regarded by all who saw it as a great suc-
cesss. ,

One evening young ng. Garnet called at
the house as usual, but to, his extreme de-x
light found that the obtuse , parent was not
in the parlor, be having been compelled to
cram over to alnieghbor‘s house on business.
The young mans raptures, bogever, were
soon checked on ‘ learning that Mr. Watkins
would certainly’ return within ﬁfteen mill-~
rites, and that here ' was imminent danger
that he would read aloud the whole of _
the last number” of the Marianas-y Herald,
including all the letters on the last four
pages of that exhilerating publication,
which set forth that the writers were willing
to live without. food- or clothing,- but that
they could not live without the Heraw. In
these circumstances‘ ’ Mr. Garnet resolved
upon a bold stroke. He told Miss Wat-
kins that a tranﬁt of Mercury. was to occur
that evening which she must not fail to see.
“We will just-go out'on the roof of the
shed,” he remarked, “and watch it. I will
leave a note on the table for your good
father, telling him that we are star-gazing,
and he will know that it is all rigb ." The

in which all mention of the shed was care-
fully avoided, was written, and the exulting
lover helped his beloved through the back

ing that for once the old gentleman was

make this resolution, but impossible to-put

stFove to wrench themselves free. Certain

the integrity of their garments. It was,
indeed, an awful situation, and Mr. Garnet
to this hour wonders that his hair did not
turn gray with agony.

Miss Watkins was a young woman of un-
usual force of character. In this crisis of
her fate she neither wept nor told her lover
he was a base, unmanly wretch. On the
contrary, she devised a plan of escape,
which was at once ingenious and practical.
Producing her handkerchief, she proceeded
to bandage Mr. Garnet’s eyes, at the same
time. pledging him not to remove the hand~
kerchief until she should give him permisé
sion. This done she hastly cut loose her
running rigging, cut awayiher landyards, and
preventer back~stays, and then deftly slid
out of her upper canvass, leaving the latter
a prey to the cement. The father slept
soundly as she stole through the parlor to
her room, and repaired her damages. Next,
with a noble devotion to her fellow-sufferer,
she borrowed a pair of the paternal trousers,
which she carried to Mr. Garnet, {and in-
forming him that he might now remove the
bandage, bade him good night, and vanished.
Full of admiration of femaleingcnuity'and
ﬁdelity, Mr. Garnet, after a cautious‘glance
around the neighborhood, 'withdrew from
his imprisoned trousers, —_and after reach-
ing the solidlfooting of the window.sill, part.
ially buried himself in the .trouSers of old"
Mr. Watkins. Had not the latter unfortue
nately waked up at the wrong. moment, all
would have been well. As it was, he sprang
out of his chair, seized Mr. Garnet under
the belief that he was a burglar, and did.
not discover his mistake until he had arous-
ed the neighbors, and thus published the
story of a young man's misfortune and his
daughter’s ingenious devotion.

As was said in the beginning, it was all
Mr. Watkins‘ fault. .Had be gone to bed
like a Christian at half-past eight o’clock,
nothing of. the kind would have occurred.
He is one of those men of whom an exam-
ple ought tomade, and there must be young
men enough in Milledgevlllo to convince
him, by concerted action, of the error of his
way—N. Y. Times. '

Boiler Explosions from Sudden
' Beliefof Pressure.

The important communication from Mr. J.
M. Allen, merits careful perusal. It describes
the incidents and probable causes of the recent
destructive steam boner explosion at the
Chesapeake Nail Works of Messrs. Charles L.
Bailey do 00., near Harrisburg, Pa. Mr. Allen
attributes the accident to a probsble error on
the Part of the man in charge of the feed and
steam connections, in opening the connection
between two boilers which were carrying
steam at unequal pressures. A careful con-
sideration of the facts in the case will show
that this is probably the correct theory.
Nothing that can be done to a large boiler
containing a great body of water at the lem-
perature of steam, throws such a strain upon
it as a sudden lowering of the steam pressure
Looking at the steam boiler explosions 'of the
last‘ﬁfty-years, we ﬁnd that by far the great-
.est number of the destructive ones have
happened at a moment when the pressure of
steam in the boiler was actually falling.
Given a great quantity of water at the tem-
perature of the steam in the boiler and we
have, regardless of pressure, the material for
a. destructive explosion. All that is necessary
to. produce it‘ is the rapid opening ( f
the throttle or safety valve, so as cause a
sudden fall in the pressure. Hence, in facé
tories the time when the greatest number of
explosions take place is just when they ar
starting up at 1 O’clock—after dinner. On
steamboats we ﬁnd the greatest danger just
as they-are starting from their slips or after
making a landing. The fatal Westﬁeld ex-
plosion, if we remember rightly, was a case
.of this kind. A more striking example hap-
pened this spring to the steamer Magenta.
She had just made a landing at Sing Sing
and was moving down the river “under one
hell,” the engine going at half speed. As
she was entering deep water the pilot rang
the “jingler” to go ahead at full speed. The
ﬁremen, who for the time being was in charge
of the engine, pulled the throttle valve wide
open. It needs but a moment’s thought upon
the compartive sizes of the cylinders of rivtr
steamers and the steam room of their boilelfs,

must have been the almost instantaneous re-
suit, and yet the boiler‘explodul at once, the
steam chimney, which was much corroded,
giving way. 'On Friday the back connec-
tions of the boiler‘on the steamer Tho ,
Cornell were blown 03 just as she was g -
ting under headway. The full details'of ale
accident are not at hand, but everything indi-
cates that the explosion took place just after
the engineer had opened his throttle wide.
Were the records available it would be easy
to ﬁnd hundreds of other similar instances.
The theory is simple. A large proportion of
the heated water, relieved of pressure, ﬂash is
into steam, striking an irresistible blo ,
upon the boiler and tearing through the iron
like'a whirlwind. , . '

The Earth Not a True Globe.

Our planets is not a true globe, because of its
former plaetic condition before the ,_forma-
tion- and cooling of the surface. Where the

and the rotation of the earth to which I have
referred, tended to drive off, as it were, the
matter in the equatorial regions; so that the
distance through the center of the earth be-
tween the two surfacea as far as possible re-
moved from the poles of rotation, or those
parts of the earth which the imaginary axis
comes through, is rather greater than the
distance between the two points where the
axis comes to the surface. The reason of
that fact, and that it must have been 50,

experiments. That the earth was once hot-
ter than it is now is therefore proved both
by the irregularities of its surface, and by
shape as a whole. We must not imagine,
however, that there hasrbeen but one change.
The minor irregularities are all gradually
changing by inner energies and the action of
air and water, and it may be that even the
largest ones are young, compared with the

agent the planet's surface. Nor does the

change end here ;‘ the equatorial protuber-

may have been in ancient times very differ-
ently situated to what it is at present, and,
indeed, that "it might have gradually shifted
through 10, 20, 30, 40, or more degrees,
without at, any time any preceptible sudden
catastrophe by the very hugeness of the
scale on which she works—Norman Losing/ear

How to Write.

Most people desire to be clever writers, but
don’t just exactly know how. The Aeta'
Columbine, a mine printed by the young
men of Columbia college, N. .Y., lets the
whole, secret out, and a brilliant array of tal-
ented authors may be at once looked for.
The rules are: “First let the writer, without
any research, put down his own ideas upon
his subject. Then let him read- and note the
ideas of others. Then let him Write his ideas
as modiﬁed and developed by-rcading. Fi-
nally let him combine these three classes of
ideas in an'har-monioua whole. " ,If a report-
er would pnste these rules in his hat or on his
memory, and then undertake to write up ac.
counts of a murder, a meeting of ward ,poiE.
ticians, an art gallery opening, a ﬁre, a de-
scription of a phonograph, an exhibition, a
runaway, and the blowing up of a steamer,

be found around each bottle of Liniment. The
Liniments are quick, they are reliable. they are
safe and they are cheap. Among the ingredients
used are Witch Hazel, Carbolie, N apthu, Bock

For Love’s Sake Only.

If thou must love me, let it be'for naught,
Except for love’s sake only. Do not'say,
“I love her for her smile, her look; her way
Of speaking gently, .fo'r‘a trick of thought

.That. falls in well with mine, and _certes

_ brought ' '
A sense of pleasant case on such 'a day.”
For thesethingsinthenlselves beloved may
Be changed. or (image for thee— and love so
wrought
May be unwrought 'so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity’s wiping my cheeks

Since one might well forget to weep'who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby.
But love me for love’s sake evermore

Thou mayst love on through love’s eternity:

“ On Earth Peace.”

BYS. EE.

When Christ the Prince of Peace came down.
To dwell among the sons of earth;

All angel from the heavenly throne
Announced the tidings of his birth.

'And while the glory of the Lord

Shone all around'Judea’s plain".
A-rn- Ilvavhrvr‘dvlrst-aad uv'v'vn'} ~ '

Sang : “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.’

When on the lake of Galilee,

The Saviour rising from his sleep,
Said : “Peace, be still ;” the raging sea
Was calm, and silence ruled the deep.

Jesus the Lord, when called to leave,
The little ﬁock he lovedsotrue,
Said: “Peace I have, my peacelgive ;
Not as the .world gives, give I you.”

Once when the door was shut, he came,
And twice spoke Peace to troubled ones;
Assured them he was still the same,

And soothed their fears with gentle tones.

All now who fear the Mighty One,

And trust the Saviour He has given;
Have Peace with God through Christ the Sea
And shall hereafter dwell in Heaven.
