A participle may be used alone without a helping verb. as a modiner of a noun or pronoun. 1-Ieiwoiked hard, hoping to win the price. 3. when a par- ticipai phrase comes first in a sentence. a comma. is usually placed after it.

4. Particibles may be used in both the present and perfect ten- sea. and the active and passive voices. 5. Since participles are made from yerbs, they may be followed by all constructions that follow verbs-objects, complements and adverbial modifiers.

RECESSIONAL

Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837. and her ,"Dlamond Jubilee" "was celebrated in 1897, in the sixtieth year.of her reign. The poem was written upon the with- drawal of the immense display of military and naval forces which had been assembled in honour of the event. The prayer of the poem is that the British people in their exuitatiori at the display of the tremendous strength of the Im- perial resources in men and arm- aments, may not be led to put their trust in these and forget God, the Author of their sover- eignty and Source of theirpower.

from which I knowledge of gram- mar can help us. A participle we must ever remember seryes as an adjective, and as such must modi- fy some noun or pronoun in the sentence in which it appears. Whenever he sentence offers no such noun pronoun, the par- ticiple ls dangling. This error re- sults from the writer mentally changing his point of view and consequently changing his subject, after he has begu composition. For example, in he sen nce. "Seated .on the fence, th car whlzsed past me, the author began as if "I"- were the subject. He changed to car and thus left dangling the participle seated. Setaed on the fence, I watched

It is one of the longest highways in the world. It joins two islands. One is Vancouver Island and the other is Newfoundland. Several years ago, when the Brit- ish provinces and colonies joined together to form Canada, they were united by the building of the Canadian Pacino Railway. With the coming of the automobile, people began dreaming of a high- way which wo id join the provin- ces as the rail ay had done. Can- adians had to drive through the United States if they wished, to travel from east to-west. In 1925, Ed. Flickenger did drive across Canada by car, but to do so he had to put iron wheels on his car and drive on the railway tracks, There was no Canadian road a- cross the country.

The hardest part of the national

highway to build was co ieted in 1940 when the Big Ben which follows the curve in the Columbia

River from Golden to Revelstclie in the Rocky Mountains was com- pieted.

From Quebec to Montreal, the route is along the old post road, and from Montreal it leads to Ottawa.

At Ottawa, the highway leaves the older settled parts of Canada and turns north to North Bay and Sudbury, new cities in the land of gold and nickel mines. It then turns west to Sault Ste. Marie, the city on the famous canal which joins Lake Superior and Lake Erie. Following the north shore of Lake

Superior, the highway continues through Port. Arthur and Fort William, the twin cities where
