nel. weather. The fare is excellent,
This is Saturday. A dense fog service good, and everybody is
has enshrouded us all day,the fog in fine spirits. One forms many
horn has been blowing constant- friendships with agreeable peo-
ly, and we are as completely iso- j pie from all parts of the world,
lated from the world as if 10001 We have on board a number of
miles from the main land. Noth- delegates to lh** International
ing can Tie more dismal than the I Missionary Conference at Edin-
melancholy tones of the fog horn , burg, among whom is Dr. Painter'
as it sends out danger signals to of Virginia, a Pr sbyterian mis-

Crossing the Atlantic.
Dear Editor: Amid the wav-
ing of handkerchiefs^ and the
warns our own passengers that
we are liable U> be struck and go
down at any moment.
This is Sunday morning. The
fog lifted last night and it is now
clear and cold. The officer on
deek has been testing the tem-
perature of the water frequently
as a precaution, against danger
and last night found we must be
approaching icebergs as the tem-
perature hail fallen to about 31°.
Now We pass icebergs on both
sides of the vessel and passen-
gers are on deck with field glass-.
es viewing with wonder and ad-
miration these beautiful bur dan-
gerous products of the artic wa-
ters. The weather is exceeding-
ly cold and 1 have no ambition
ever to approach any nearer to
the polar regions. As we near
the mouth of the river passing
through the Straight df Bel lisle,
the Labrador coast is in full view
on the north and Newfoundland,
on the souttf‘with their bleak .and
rocky hillsides covered with snow
and ice. A few lonely fisherman
can be seen near the shore earn-
ing a scanty livelihood in this
hazardous vocation. Rev. Dr.
Symonils, an Episcopal clergy-
man of Toronto, preached an ex-
cellent sermon in the dining sa-
loon today. * •
As we enter the Atlantic we
pass the largest and most beauti-
ful iceberg of all, over 500 feet

day night.
This, Friday morning, we went
dow n to the bottom of the ship
where we saw the storkers at
work, the coal supply, refrigera-
ting plant and other interesting
sights. These grimy 'firemen
working in the dark hold 50 feet
below the surface vividly remind
melof the mighty unseen forces
Working day and night in pre-
serving our lives, and shaping
our destinies. They typify to
some extent the faith We put in
an an unssen power constantly
working in our lives.
It is Saturday and the thll cliffs
and green pastures of the Emer-
ald Isle burst upon our vision in
all their glory. Lend never look-
ed quite so beautiful as now, and
the green slopes of Erin would
be interesting at any time.
Tomorrow we anchor at Liver-
pool so goodnight. -

that hold us to terra firma at having lost all her ambition and
Montreal, and glide with easy some other things. Says she will
motion out into the stream as we
start on our voyage to ramble a-
mong the art treasurers of the
Old World, visit its historic and
literary shrines, study the man-
ners and customs of its people,
increase °ur capacity for useful-
ness and catch a new inspiration
from eyery sphere of human ac-
tivity. All day we are passing
down the beautiful St. Lawrence
under a cloudless sky and sur-
rounded by a bracing atmosphere.
Both banks arc covered with
fields and forests, with here and
there a village nestling in some

any more. One of our fellow
passengers, an elect Methodist
lady from - Cleveland, on a for-
mer voyage became deathly sick,
and her husband called down to j
her; “Bettie, how is it with)
you?’ she replied:“All the waves)
have gone over me; the sorrows |
of hell have swallowed me up.”
Afterwards she remembered she
was quoting Jonah when the
whale was seasick.
