PERVERSITY.
I DWELL beside a placid sea where cold is never known; no
blizzards make a.sport of me, or round my shanty groan. The
skies are nearly always blue, .(lie winds are always mild ; to every
thing that is in view I should be reconciled. But man is never
satisfied with blessings ho enjoys; tho good the smiling gods
providfl, disturbo him and nnnoys. So when Tread of snow and
sleet that grip the land elsewhere, 1 sadly sigh, "So help mo,
l'eto, I wish I might bo there ! I'd like to feel the tingling brpezo
against my swan-like nose, to wade in snowdrifts to my knees,
and freeze my ears and toes! To breathe again the fresh ozone,
I'd give a good-sized cheek; I'd like to drive A' bob-tailed roan
with sleighbells on its neck." And well I know that people
caught in all that snow and rime are crying, angry and distraught
"Oh, for a milder clime 1 There is no sense in living here, amid
these freeing snows, where, if one doesn't frotv.e an ear, he's
sure to freeze a nose." Tis distance, as the poet said, that doth
enchant the view; before- our sated eyes are spread all boons that
ever grew. And still we cast our gaze away to things beyond our
reach; "If wo could have those things," we say, "this life would

"Africa was the

in outlining tho
reasons which
prompted him to make tho trip. "I
have a notion also that it will prove
to lie tho underlying cause of some
future wars. At any rate, it becomes
increasingly important as European
nations press their claims and conces

In the portion of Dr. Leach's si'-r-mon
of Sunday night, which you
printed Alondny, the Dr. says "The

of tho world's history. Possibly, yet

was no more important a period than
is the 20th century, the Bible speaks
of Asa being diseased In his feet -"Yet
in his disease be sought not the
Lord, but to tho physicians, and Asa
slept with his fathers, and died in
the one and fortieth year of hisj
reign." Seemingly, it was tho custom
for Clod to heal his peopio so long
as they remained truo to him.
Dr. Leach says, "Miracles were
needed in Christ's day, but are not
today." It seems to mo miracles are
needod whenever they will bring
peopio, back to God. The first of the
Dr. Price meetings which I could at
tend was an afternoon meeting, hold
by Mrs. Price, assisted by the singer
