When it was' suggested that he should regale the company with a bagpipe solo, the host, remembering that his friend’s horse was tetherpd not Ver/ securely near the house, solicitously inquired: “How about the hoise?” An awful 1 xilehce descended upon the tooni as the’ visitors’ young son naively exclaimed: “Oh, he won’t mind the bagpipes—but he hates music! ” “Without animation the Church would die,” said Bishop Sadlier, of Nelson, during a sermon at St. John’s Church, Christchurch, on Sunday (reports the Times).

There would be no church. The Church must live in animation, which is the life- and soul of its well-being.’ ■
