It. S. Sanders. In slumbering sleep I lay one night upon my bed. A vision very groat nr a thought came in my head. I thought of the day of doom, and doubtless it had cornu. For Christ himself was there, “to summons old and young.” And I myself was called by a trump ot loud and shrill. Saying every soul must rise, “ho tLoir sentence good or ill.” The.i trembling with fear and lit tle did I know, Unto Christ, His mercies great, I trusted and did go. I had not been there long before old Satan came, Dressed up in his filthy robe, and my sins he brought along. He laid them before the Lord, and j said I was his own, My sins being full and great, fot many had I done. 1 hen said our blessed Saviour, “Oh, I will end this strife, I’ll see if thb sinner’s name is not in the Book of Life.” The book of life was brought and many leaves unfold, “Lol -here's tbe sinner’s name in letters wrote with gold.” Then murmuring old «utun stood, all in a dismal plight, And said unto the Lord: “Your indictments are not right.” Then said J^our blessed Savior, “Why, old satan, why? You know very well, for pocr sin ners I did die. I died to redeem the world which once was lost to thee, And to save ull fpithful souls who truly trust in me.” MEANING OF THE WORD BOER. The southern part of Africa,what is now called Cape Colony, wqs originally settled by the Dutch East India Company about the year 1652. They first sent farm ers and gardeners to cultivate the land in the viciniy of Capetown* The Dutch word for farmer pf “boor,” hence the settlers in South Africa were called boors. Tfie Dutch planted several settlements, which grew and became a flourish?, ing colony. In I898 war was do? dared between Great Britian and Holland. The British government sent an expedition to South Africa, which took possession of the couh* - try with very littlejrouble. When a treaty of peace was mude witli Holland in 1802, however, the col ony was ceded back to Holland.' But in 1805 war broke out again between Great Britian and Holland! and again a British expedition' came and took posession of tbe country. Soon after an English governoi was appointed for the cob' ony and he whs so severe and un just in his treatment of the Dutch hoersthey began 1o feel very bitter toward tlie English. This treat ment ol the Dutch farmers - contin ued for many jmfrs. An English histodilti, yvspqgkingof the Dutch in South Affaicu ’in the early part of this century. say*: “It is nut.*, A Thousand Tongues.

PATENTS pleasant admission for an English man to make, but it is the truth, that it would be difficult to find in any part of the world a people with so much to be discontented as the inhabitants of Cape Colony for many Years after the fall of the ministry of Earl of Liverpool, There was sympathy whatever shown towards them by the au thorities in England, in fact there was a decided antipathy, which was fostered by the so-called phil anthropic societies, then at the height of thoir power. The most outrageous stories concerning the colonists were circulated by men who boro the little of christnin teachers, and nothing was too gross to beleived in Enghud until the word “ Boer,” came to be re garded as u synonym for an ignor ant and heartless oppressor of the colored people.” The English government became so oppressive in 1886 several thous and boors abandoned their farms, placed their household goods in wagoiis and emigrated across the river Vaal, the northern limit of Cape Colony. Their hardships and trials in this emigration wore fully as great ns those of the Pil- grim Fathers in New; England. Soon after the emigration they or ganised a republican government, which is sometimes called the* Transvaal Republic. This little republic was soon involved in a senos of wars with the savages, in which they showed great hardihood nd bravery. In 1852 Great Brit ain acknowledged the independ ence of -the Transvaal Republic. l*n 1877, lindor a pretense of defend ing the country from the savages, the British governor of Cape Col ony issued a proclamation declar ing the Transvaal Republic inlSSO It was in this war, on Feb. 26,1881 at the buttle of Majuba Hill, that.a considerable force of English troops was almost entirely wiped out by the Dutch riflemen. The result of the witr was the restoration of of independence to the republic. Ever since, the Dutoh boers have celebrated the battle of Majuba Hill annually. In I869 diamonds were discovered along the river Vanl and several years later gold was discovered in the limits ot the Transvall Republic. This brought in a great influx of English and A- merican prospectors. ‘ The Dutch were afraid the English immigrants would attempt an annexation movement to England. They pass ed stringent naturalization laws and imposed heavy taxes on min ers and on exports of gold. The English miners and prospectors ob jected to the heavy taxes imposed by the republic and asked the Brit ish Government to force the Trans vaal Republic to grant them relief. This is tbe cause of the present diffi culty. The Dutch claim that Great Britain has long wanted to annex their republic and is making the complaints ot the Uitlanders (Dutch for foreigners) a pretext for an invasion and annexation. They are a brave people and will fight bravely for their independ ence. It is stated by some of our daily papers that the mining taxes im posed by the Dntch in Africa arc - not heavier than those imposed by Canada in the Klondike.—Word AND W0BK8.
