DAY SERMON.
Subject:— “ The City Streets.”
Text . “ Wisdom rrieth without; she vt»
tereth her voice in the street** —Frov. i., 20.
We are nil ready to listen to the voices
of nature—the voices of the mountain, the
voices of the sea, the voice* of the storm, the
voicon of the star. As in some of the
cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at
either end of the building, and the one
instrument renj^omls musically to the
other, so in the great cathedral of nature
day responds to day, and night to night,
and flower to flower, and star to star,
in the great harmonies of the universe.
The spring time is an evangelist in
blossoms preaching of God's love; and the
winter is a prophet—white bearded—
denouncing all woe listen against our voices sins. Wc are
ready to to tile of nature;
but how few of m I earn anything from
the voices of the noisy and dusty street.
You go to your merchandise, and your mech¬
anism, and to your work, and you come back
again and often with an indifferent heart
you things pass through the street*. Are there no
for us to learn from these pavements
over which we pans? Are there no tufts of
truih growing up between tlicse cobblestones,
Ix'/iten with tiie feet of toil, arid pain, and
pleasure, the slow tread of old age, and the
quick step of childhood? A ye, there are great
harvests to bo reap'd; and now I trust iri the
sickle Uscauae the harvest is ripo. “Wisdom
crielh without; she uttereth her voice in the
streets.”
In the first place the street impresses me
with the fact that this life is a scene of toil
and struggle. Ily 10 o'clock every ami day the
city with is jarring ami humming with wheels, shuffling and
feet, with voices,
covered with the breath of smokestacks, and
a rush with traffickers. One * in a while yon
And a man going along with folded arms and
with leisurely step, ns though he had noth¬
ing to do; but for the most part, as you find
men going down these streets, on the way
to business, there is anxiety in th # *fi*

goes on singing her song of work! work!

love toil. Someone remarked: Every man

Hut it is because necessity, with stem

A FATAL LAND SLIDE,
Part of the Heights of Quebec
Fall on the Houses Below.
Many Homes Demolished and
People Killed and Injured
A landslide occurred at Quebec from the
face of Cape Diamond, below the Citadel,
at twenty minutes past seven in the evening,
crushing the houses beneath it and imprison¬
ing the inmates below the debris, which was
piled to a height, in some cases, of twenty to
thirty feet over the houses which were stand¬
ing below.
Two fearful days of rain and flood succeed¬
ing a month of dry weather filled the crevi¬
ces of the soil immediately below and beyond
the southern extremity of Dufferm Terrace,
and an enormous mass was detached from the
cliff, and hurled as with the noise of many
thunders, slowly and majestically at first,
but rapidly increasing in momentum through
its slide of a couple of hundred feet, over the
retaining wall, and crushing pushing half a dozen houses beneath out
of its way most of them
its weight as though Some they had been so many
paper boxes. of those who saw the
slide were standing at the doors of their
houses, and were too paralyzed to move out
of its way. Others ran to a place of safety.
The debris of rock tilled up the narrow
street to communication the depth of some thirty feet and cut
off all between the portions
of the city north and south of it. On the
wharves behind where the houses had stood.
scattered timbers and th ,j tc.; th and rock that i

The river policemen, whose station is close
by, and t he city police from Champlain Market
were among the first to rush to the relief of
the imprisoned, tire wounded and the dying
sufferers. As soon as an idea was ob¬
tained of the extent of the dis¬
aster the whole force of municipal
police was turned out to render assistance,
anrl Chief Colonel Yohl applied to B Batterr
at the Citadel for nssistan " '. A strong force
of th Q military, under command of Major
Wilson, turned out to aid in the removal of
thflsdebris. Fire broke out almost immediate¬
ly in some of the ruins, but the brigade when
summoned soon extinguished the ’lames and
set to work to assist in the search for the dead
and dying.
Nearly all and the did doctors of the c:ty were in
attendance all that was possible for
the relief of the sufferers, for whom, in the
absence of the Mayor from the city, stimu¬
lants were promptly obtained in the name of
the city.
Quebec’s famous promenade, Dufferin Ter¬
race, has been fearfully shaken by the slide,
especially which that portion almost of it lying" nearest the
Citadel, overhangs the cliff
whence the land slide fell. Between the two
last?kiosks it has parted so much from the
rock to which it clings that it has been con¬
demned and closed to traffic by order of the
City Engineer, there being also a wide rent
in the rocks between it and the Citadel.
The mass of rock detached from the cliffs’
side left a vacant space of extraordinary di¬
mensions. The houses in that locality were
built of stone and brick, and inhabited by
ship laborers, officers etc. and Royal School
