T could see no reason, and so we went down to the shore of the pond, fastened on our tes, and flew, as it were, over the glassy surface to the cove, where the piles of resinous boughs stood.

Of these 50,000 Australia is clamoring to have “John” excluded. ilia has poprly are Chinese were trying to make, and ealeulated if, at the rate we were then singing, there were verses enough to last until we reached. I feared lest the leader might omit a stanza, as Was. sometimes done in church, and there might be a space over which we would be left to pass in silence, or with nothing to disturb the silence but the cracking of the ice. I had no cause for alarm, however, in the matter. There v indeed, that dreadful crack—crack—crack of the ice distinetly heard during the singing of one line in each stanza of the hymn, but it was either that I had become more accustomed to it or because it was more faint than a little time before that it failed to affect me as at first. So, too, there was a little breadth of ice to be passed over after the singers had closed the verse: “Let every kindred, every tribe On this terrestrial bal To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all.” But our momentum was then such that I knew we should reach the shore in safety, which we soon did. On reaching the shore there was the same boisterous noise that marked our start- ing, each one untying his sled or sleigh and joining the little party with which he came. But of the peril through which they had passed, The danger from which they had been rescued, no one of them had the slightest intimation. The two who knew all remained on the sandy beach after the party had gone to their homes. Their arms were about each other’snecks as they knelt, and a trem- or closed the lips that would have prayed. The next day was Thanksgiv- ing. Singularly enough, the opening hymn in the church service was the one that was sung on the ice, but it was not strange that two hands holding She Tried and Knows.
