There a^e certain gentle^ attractive qaalities which win it, but promptness makes no sait for prospeiity, it commands it. Protuptness is leadership it does not follow like some of the other 'â-¼irtueb it leads the charge, and plants itself first on the obsticle in its path. This is a prompt universe or it would 'Cease to be a universe, and go back into the chaos out of which the divine Builder reared it. Every world sweeps round its orbit without the delay ot a second every planet completes its -august circuit through the heavens on the instant; suns rise and set century after century, and the sublime move- ment of the uniyerse goes forward without the loss of a moment. The overhanging heavens are God's time- keepers, by which earth sets its clocks, and marks the little interval of its life. The heavens which declare the glory of God declare also* His promptness the business of the universe is always done on time. The .business of men's lives can be well done in no other way. The man who dplays and is late violates that order which is Heaven's first law, and does what he can to turn the world back to original chaos. He destroys his own chance of success he breaks up the carefully- laid plans of other men more faithful than he he blocks the wheels of universal progress. Such a man is not only a failure, but a nuisance to the community in which he lives. If you want success be prompt fall in line with the stars, and do your work on the instant. God is prompt ypu cannot afford to be otherwise.

The following we clip from the Advance of last week: "On the 'evening of the 25th being m Markdale. I ascertained tl.at there waa to be a concert in the Methodist Church and, when time hangs heavily on your hands, ' 'anything at all" is a relaxation, so thither I went, and I must express ^to you my astonishment at the high musical talent displayed in the opening pieces of music. I suppose the singers were mostly members of the church in the possession of musical talant that would be envied by many churches here in Toronto. It is not only in the possession of melodious, towering, rjnajestic voice, but in that emdite •inflexion of tone which conveys pathos or passion, tenderness or tragic, ao- cordmgas the sentiment sxprsssed in the various moods of the piece of the music. Misses Christoe and Damade of Fiesherton, and Mrs. Fo^ of Owen Sound, were mentioned to me •8 being visitors, and certaOnly they were a rare Acquisition. One of the chour singen, Mr. Anderson, who favored me with a copy ofan original poem which I herewith •end you-FUg of Brittannia-possesses mnsical talent rarely net with, emn amongst our professionals. In the performances of a ehoir we can rarely distinguish the best, if all are some- what equally quaUfied but,, when he •comes to a single handed contest, the jring of true metal "will ©at." This gentleman's rendering of "Flag ofBrittannia, andthe Marcu of the Cam«ron M^a," speU-boun4 the audience. At the conclnsion of each piece there was an enthasiastio out- burst of applause, that "made the welkm nng." "The March of the */ameron Men" was encored to which Mr. Anderson gradously responded.
