Varia.

A few weeks ago there passed into the nearer presence of his God, a faithful, loy- ing soul, the last few years of whose life on earth dwelt in a body racked by awful suffering. The story of his flie tells us that the age of martyrdomehas not yet passed. | shali try and compress‘into one or two para- graphs a short account of his vocation, his sufferings and his death.

+ * | Joseph Damien de Ventecr was the son of Belgian parents. His mother was a deep-

ly religious woman, and from her he doubt-,

‘less derived the earnest character which jmarked him even as a youth. From his | earliest childhood he felt that God had called him to serve in the sacred ministry. | With his{parent’s full sanction he entered a | Theological Seminary, and as his elder brother was about to start for the South | Seas, he was attacked by fever. Damien | begged to be allowed to take his place. | Although his studies were not yet complete jsuch was his earnest pleading to be allowed |to go antl minister to the heathen that he was ordained and immediately left for the Pacific. *,* | In 17%8the Sandwich Islands were dis- covered by Capt. Cook. His estimate of their population was 400,000. Whether this Was an over-estimate or not, it is at this day impossible to say, but the inhabi- . tants now number little more than 44,000. !Among the diseases which have brought \about this decline, a hideous form of ‘leprosy has been the most terrible and destructive. The Hawaiian Government, at length aroused to action, has for some years isolated the lepers on the Island of Molokai. Everyone whom it could be proved had a leprous taint was compelled to go there, and was never permitted to leave itagain. Many hundreds cf these unfortunate people, shut off from the rest jof the world, slowly die the lingering, pain- ful death which is the leper’s.

**

}

It was to these poor dying creatures that | Father Damien turned. He longed to be ,with them and care for their bodies and |their souls. He received permission from [his ecclesiastical superiors and went. He found misery and wretchedness almost passing comprehension. The water supply was bad, the houses wretched, undrained and unventilated, the people ill-fed, ill- clothed and never washed. They were all slowly dying of a loathsome disease, which left hideous marks upon the countenance, so much so that many of the poor creatures hid theit faces from one another by veils; and, sad to say, in many cases the sufferers led vicious and lawless lives. In 1873 he went ngthem, and duringhis sojourn he civilized and Christianised them. He restored order and morality. He replaced despair with hope. He made life worth living for the most hopeless of God’s creatures, and even taught them to be happy in some sort. When he first landed he lived under a palm tree, until by de- grees, with the little help they could give him, he built a church.

**

And here, day by day, and many times a day, these poor people came to hear the old, old story of Bethlehem and of Calvary. Here they came, not only to worship and adore, but to take home to their very sou!s Him who alone is the soul’s true strength. And for sixteen years Father Damien taught them and went in and out among them, praying ever for the dying, for they were all dying, and performing the last offices for the dead,

+ *

The end was only too sure. One day the cannot bear to tell you, but you too are a leper.” ‘It is no shock to me,” he answered, ‘‘ J knew it must come, and it is God’s will.” But the brave true heart never flinched. ‘‘I would not,” he wrote to a friend, ‘* be cured, if the price of my cure was that I must leave my Island and give up my poor children.” His work attracted much attention in England and the Anglican Bishop of Peterboro frequent- ly wrote to him and sent him much assist- ance. One clergyman in London collected £700 for him, which materially helped him in building his church. He thus Wrote to a friend: ‘* Having no doubt of the real character of my disease, | feel calm, re- signed and happy among my people. Al- mighty God knows what is best for my sanctification, and with that conviction IL say heartily, Fiat voluntas tua.” +

‘In Memoriam.

On Sabbath, the 2nd inst., a great sor- row fell upon the home of Rev. George Steel, Methodist Minister; Pownal, P. E. [., in the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Steel. In the relations ‘of wife and mother, our departed sister had most worthily exemplified the duties of her station. Her devotedness to the Lord, to her home, and to the church of her choice, was very marked. Being thoroughly con- vinced that she could best serve the cause of God and help her husband in his minis- terial and pastoral work by caring for her family, thereby lightening his load, and enabling him to do better work for the Master, she displayed an utter forgetful- ness of self in looking “‘ well to the ways of her household.” Nor did she forget im- portant interests which came within her sphere, in the church, such as the Wo- man’s Missionary Society andjother depart- meuts Of Christian effort, as the surrowing friends throughout the circuit can testify. But it was especially as the devoted wife and effectionate mother in the pastor’s home that her mis- sion lay, and any one entering that home would soou observe how well she had = suc- ceeded. In the midst of her unobtrusive duties she was quickly called away. Find- ing that the Master had come and was cali- ing for her, she said ‘*‘ Take good care of the children—l am ready,” and at once passed from the home on earth to the home! in heaven. Great sympathy is felt for our stricken Bro. and his little children, as was expressed by the large representation from the four circuits in which he has labored in this district, on the occasion of the fu- neral., The services conducted by Rey. J. Read, were deeply affecting and solemn. The following ministers also tuok part : Revs. Smallwood, Harrison, (who spoke of his more than twenty years’ ac- guaintance with the deceased) Mahon, Slackford, Knight, Goldsmith and Opie. Rev. F. W. Moore and Dr. Johnson, of Charlottetown, were also present. Every | respect was shown to the memory of the departed, who was held in such high es- teem, and sympathy to Bro. Steel, who is emphatically a brother beloved throughout the conference.—Com.

The VaHey of Death. FURTHER PARTICULARS ABOUT THE JOHNS- TOWN DISASTER— THE CRY FOR HELP.

Huntinepon, Pa., June 6.—The devas- tation in Central Pennsylvania is very great. Not a house is left that stood with- in reach of the swollen streams. Here the) damage is $600,000, while the other towns in the country suffered correspondingly. Robert’s immense tannery at Mapleton was damaged to the extent of $200,000. The Powell furnace at Saxon loses $300,000, and both railroads and county bridges are swept away. Four miles of the Pennsyl- vania roads tracks are destroyed, with bridges gone at Mays, Mananyunk and Lewiston, the later bridge going down last night. Growing crops in the lowlands are destroyed. Assistance is coming in slowly. Three families, consisting of 16 persons are missing. ‘*

CUMBERLAND, Pa., June 6.—Cumberland valley has passéd, and the loss.is estimated at $300,000. No loss of life.

Jounstown, Pa., June 6.-—The coroner's jury is in ating the cause of the break- | ing of the reservoirdam. Many witnesses

have testified that slight breaks appeared }in the dam several times in past years, but 'each time had been clumsily repaired with ‘straw, sticks and rubbish. The general ‘impression is that the jury will declare | that the Pittsburg fishing club, that owned ithe reservoir, was guilty of gross neg-

We understand that the captain is negotiating with the Sam- merside and Pictou teams for a match to be played at an early date. canes taamaiiin PREACHING IN THE Lyceum.—Rev. J. F. Carney will preach in the Lyceum to-morrow afternoon, at half-past two o'clock. Subject, ‘* What I Believe.” Catholics and Protestants are cordially invited. A collection will be taken at the close of the service to defray expenses. os A Nice Honrymoon.—A young man named John Connell, belonging to St. John, N. B., who was on a honeymoon'tour with his second wife, was arrested at Torouto on Friday of last week for drunkenness. His wife said that when they were married his mother gave her $500. They started west and during the trip he abused her and got hold of the money. When confronted with his wife he didn’t know her, and didn’t want to know ker. In short he gave her the grand shake.

Commercial Notes.

The shipment of brown freestone from the quarries at Wallace, N. 8., are becom- }ing more numerous. This kind of stone is in great demand for building purposes, and a fleet of vessels will directly take cargoes

'to New York, where it is in especial favor.

A new stimulus is applied to the work on the Chignecto Ship Railway. At pre- sent there are 500 men employed, and next month the number will be increased te 1500. The work is expected to be com- pleted in September, 1890. The advantages which the enterprise will offer to Canadian” ports will undoubtedly be great.

American oil has hitherto reached higher than Canadian oil, and this has been owing to the difliculty of freeing the latter from sulphur and impurities, but, if reports are true, this difficulty has been overcome, and Canadian oil will henceforth in consequence be on a par with or perhaps supplant the other, which is used so extensively in this country at the present time.

For want of rain, the streams in the region of the Upper St. John River, New Brunswick, had been dried up to a certain extent, and the lumbermen were unable to push on their work. Now, however, tid- ings have come that a considerable rainfall has taken place in that vicinity, and the great quantity of logs which were held fast by reason of the prolonged drought have been released by the swelling of the streams, and the lumber industry in those parts will resume its wonted activity.

Jounstown, Pa., June 6.—A house to house canvas yesterday revealed that four and even six families are being crowded into a single house ; that as high as fifty slept in One room; that the duors and windows were left closed to shut out the stench and dampness and that pneumonia is gaining an alarming foothold. There are at least ‘one hundred well defined cases. : There is no immediate danger of disease from dead bodies except at Rockwood | where an immense collection of wreckage is ' full of corpses.

A few weeks ago, ho who had attended the death-beds of 2,000 lepers, entered into rest. The Kalendar already commemorates a leper, St Finian, but itis not recorded of him, that he, of his own free will, be- came a leper out of charity towards lepers. So that, in this repect, Father Damien stands alone.

In the Roman Cathclic Church, canori- zation is a slow process. There must first be sixty years of probation, and then the strange litigation, passing through the dif- ferent examinations, past the honors of the secondary apotheosis, to beatification and canonization. But, in this case, univers al Christendom will anticipate the decree, and will add Father Damien to the list of those saints, whose sainthood is the possession and delight of all trué Christian souls.
