THE WORLD OF THE WEARY.
I think the King of Heaven comes out
from His tireless host,
And walks In the world of the weary, as
if He loved it most.
For here, in the dusty confusions, with
eyes that are heavy and dim,
Ha meets again the laboring men, who are
looking and longing for Him.
He cancels the curse of Eden, and brings
them a blessing instead;
Blessed are they that labor, for Jesus par
takes of their bread.
He puts His hand to their burdens, He
enters their homes at night,
Who does his best, shall have as his guest,
the Master of life and of light.
t
And courage will come with His presence,
and patience return at His touch, •
And manifold sins be forgiven to those
who have loved Him much.
And the cries of envy and malice will
change to the songs of cheer,
For the toiling age will forget its rage,
when the Prince of Peace draws near.
This is the Gospel of labor—ring it, ye bells
of the kirk,
The Lord of I.ove came down from above
to live with the men who work.
This is the rose that He planted, here in
the thorn-enrsed soil—
Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the
blessing of earth is toil.
—Van Dyke, in Washington Home Maga

THE AIM OF LIFE.
First TliliiK to Consider In Life I»
the End of It—A Paradoxical
Trnth
The first thing to consider in life,
says llev. \V. L. AVatkinson, is the end
of it, its highest and utimate design.
Looking into the future is ever a sign
of superiority. Forethought marks
the difference between the child and
the man. The child takes no distant
views, he thinks only of immediate
gratification; a confectionery is more
to him now than an estate in rever
sion; he prefers a sparrow in the hand
to all the singing birds of Europe and
all tlie gorgeous birds of the orient
in the bush of to-morrow; on the con
trary, the man looks into distant years
and regulates his present conduct by
remote considerations, 'ibis looking
into the future marks the difference
between the savage and the civilized.
The barbarian thinks only of imme
diate fighting and feasting; if you were
to require him to work to-day or to ab
stain from feasting, with the promise
of large advantage in a year’s time,
lie would not understand you—the sav
age is the being without a future; but,
on the other hand, the civilized man
recognizes the future, lives in the fu
ture, is always making sacrifices for
the future. This habit of considering
the remote often marks the difference
between the superior and the inferior
classes of civilized society. AA’e look
far and wide for the reason why cer
tain classes are wealthy and com
fortable while others are unsuccess
ful and destitute; but is hot the in
equality often accounted for by the
fact that some men think of the fu
ture, live for it, restrain and deny
themselves for it, while men of an-'
other type eat and drink to-day and
Ktnrvp tn-mnrrow?
"Wherefore praise we famous men,
From whose bays we borrow—
They that put aside to-day
All the joys of their to-day,
And with toil of their to-day
Bought for us to-morrow."
The highest type of men, the high
est of all, are the men who fix their
eve on the ultimate end of life, on its
last and highest design, on its abiding
consequence. lie who lives a rational
and noble life is ever reminding him
self of the supreme purpose for which
he lives and he is prepared to make
sacrifices to-day that he may find him
self honorable and safe in the great
future, if life is to prove satisfactory
we must, from its very beginning con
template its end and aim. No life can
be true and successful that is lived
haphazard, lived from hand to mouth,
lived at random, disjointed, purpose
less. Frith says: “An artist must, ses
his picture finished in his mind’s eye
before lie begins it or lie will never be
an artist at all.” So, in our ideal, in
our mind’s eyie, we must see our life
finished as we begin it, or we shall
never be successful in the art of living.
The painter cannot go on aimlessly
smudging' the canvas, adding (ne
blotch of color to another and yet turn
out a worthy picture; the organist
cannot by striking notes in wild and
dreamy improvisation build up any
great music; the preacher cannot take
a text and by a series of unrelated
reflections develop an effective dis
course. These workers know well
enough that a clear conception of the
end of their work is essential from its
beginning and that they must regulate
the whole effort by the final purpose.
So it must be with each of us; we must
know the object of life, its true goal,
its plan and programme, its law and
prize; and we must be prepared for
diligence and sacrifice so that we may
work the glorious thing out worthily
and successfully.

THE IMPRESSIONS OF A^OMAN
__ /
What a Woman. Says ibout Western
Canada,
Although many men have written
to this paper regarding the prospects
of Western Canada, and its grent pos
sibilities, it may not be uninterest
ing to give the experience of a wom
an settler, written to Mr. M. V. Me
limes, the agent of the Government
at Detroit, Mich. If the reader
wishes to get further information re
garding Western Canada it may be
obtained by writing any of the agents
of the Government whose name is
attached to the advertisement ap
pearing elsewhere in this paper.
The following is the letter referred '
to:
Hilldown, Alberta, Feb’y. 5, 1903.
Dear Sir: ■
I have been here now nearly five
years, and thought I would write
you a woman’s impression of West
ern Canada—in Alberta. There are
several ranchers in this district
who, in addition to taking care of
their eattle, carry on farming ns
well. Their herds of eattle number
from 100 to 200 or 300 heads', and live
1 out all winter without any shelter
! than the poplar bluffs and they come
in in the spring in good order. Most
of the ranchers feed their cattle part
of the time, about this time of the
year, but I have seen the finest fat
cattle 1 ever saw that never got a peek
of grain—only fattened on the grass.
r You see I have learned to talk farm
’ since I came here—farming is the
great business here. I know several
|. in this district who never worked a
day on the farm, till they came' here,
and have done well and are getting
. well off.
I think this will be the garden of
the Northwest some day, and that
day not very far distant. There has
been a great change since we came
hcit, and there will be a greater
change in the next five years. The
winters are all anyone could wish for.
We have very little snow, and the
climate is fine and healthy. Last
summer was wet, but not to an ex
Itent to damage crops, which were a
1,. ____• 1 .1 .... .1 x 1. .. 1_ ...

immense—anil farmers wore a broad
smile accordingly.
AA'e have good schools, the Govern
ment pays 70 per cent, of the ex
pense of education, which is a great
boon in a new country. Of course, •
churches of different denominations
follow the settlements. Summer pic
nics and winter concerts are all well
attended, and as much, or more, en
joyed as in the East. AA'bo would not
prefer the pure air of this climate
with its broad acres of fine farms,
its rippling streams, its beautiful ,
lakes, its millions of wild flowers, its
groves of wild fruit of exquisite
flavor, its streams and lakes teem- -
ing with fish and its prairies and
bluffs with game, to the crowded
\ and stiff state of society in the East.
| I would like to go home for a visit
, sometime, but not to go there to
. live, even if presented with the best
farm in Michigan. Beautiful Alberta,
i I will never leave it. And my verdict
■ is only a repetition of all who have
' settled in this country. This year, I
' believe, will add many thousands to
our population. And if the young
men, and old men also, knew how
. easy they could make a home free of
i all incumbrance in this country,
thousands more would have settled
1 here. I would sooner have ICO acres
here than any farm where I came
i from in Michigan; but the people in
I the East are coming to a knowledge
, of this country, and as they do, they
will come AATest in thousands. All
winter, people have been arriving in
Alberta, and I suppose in other parts
i as well, which is unusual, so wre ex
pect a great rush when the weather
gets warmer.
AA’e have no coal famine here; coal
can be bought in the towns for $2
to $3, according to distance from the
mines, and many haul their own coal
from the mines—getting it there for
50 cents to a dollar a ton.
Very truly yours.
(Signed) Mrs. John Mol aclilan.
WJint Labor Unions Mean.
The rise of labor unions means
first of all that the determination of
wages for each laborer and his con
ditions of work cease to be primarily
his own affair; this in order tli it
wages may be uniform, and that thus
the merciless downward pressure of
present-day competition may t e
checked. There are recorded nearly
5,000 strikes in the United States dur
ing twenty years, avowedly directed
to this purpose of forcing the employ
er to deal collectively with the union.
The responsibility for the fixing of
wages shifts farther and farther from
the individual workman, not only as
the unions extend more widely over
the nation, but also as the authority
in one union and another becomes
more and more centralized. The anal
ogies between trade union history
and the history of civil governments
are numerous and striking; it is pe
culiarly noticeable that in most
unions, as in the politics of this na
tion, the conflict for and against a
strong central government has been
waged fiercely, and that generally the
centralizing party has prevailed.—At
lantic Monthly.
Kelt Injured.
Two good-natured little Irish boys
once occupied the tame bed. In ti e
morning one of them said to the oth
er:
“Dennis, did you hear it thunder
last night?”
“A'o,” said Dennis. “Did it really
thunder?”
“Yis, it thundred as if hiven and
airth would come together.”
“Well, phoy in the worruld didn't
ye .wake me? Ye know I cant slape
whin it thunders,” said Dennis.—Pitts
