3 Anthem - My soul, there is a country C.H.H.Parry My soul, there is a country far beyond the stars, Where stands a winged sentry, all skillful in the wars; There, above noise and danger, sweet peace sits crowned with smiles, And One, born in a manger, commands the beauteous files, He is thy gracious friend and O my soul awake! Did in pure love descend to die here for thy sake. If thou canst get but thither, there grows the flow'r of peace, The Rose that cannot whither, thy fortress and thy ease, Leave then thy foolish ranges, for none can thee secure, But One who never changes, thy God, thy life, thy cure.

YP GALLERY to October 27. Landmarks by Anthony J. Batten. The artist is well known for his paintings of our man-made environment --- the streets and buildings that populate and enliven our city surroundings. Landmarks is a show inspired by frequent travels in Europe, the USA and throughout Canada. In addition there are some paintings of landscape features that have been interpreted by Batten as iconic landmarks in themselves. Visitors to this show will be rewarded with a sampling of the artist's positive view of our world and of mankind's ability, on occasion, to create unique corners of beauty and interest 11
