In an address to a workingmen's or.
ganization Mr.. Gladstone said recent
ly: 1T is not extravagant to say that
although there We're but two million
people in the thirteen American
colonies at the time of the American
revolt, yet from among those two mil
lions of people there proceeded at that
epoch group of statesmen that might
defy the whole history of the world to
beat them in any one state and at any
one period of time. Such were the
consequences of a well-regulated and a

work attracted the attention of Mr. Moody
who, in 1871, succeeded in interesting
publishers in the book and induced its pur
chase of Mr.. Bliss for SIP, 900. This sum
Mr.. Bliss declared sufficient to keep him
and his family for life, and announced his
intention of deyoting his energies to Cos
pei work. He associated himself with
Maj. Whittle and continued with him until
his death. His method of Interpretation
was equal to that of Mr.. Sankey and sim
liar in style. But his voice was vastly
superior and his spiritual feeling very
marked. His voice, which DR.. Root pro-
nounccd the finest in tho world, was a
wonderfully rich, clear, penetrating bari
tone, ranging from lower Is fat to high
A Hat. Among his most popular songs
are almost Persuaded Hold the Fort
and He Knows which was not published
until after his death.

The improvement in arms now going
forward will deter nations from war,
not because their weapons are so dead
ly, but because it will cost too much
to use them. Krupp's new gun fires
two shots a minute, each costing be
tween $1,25O and 1900. A dozen or
two of these guns would bankrupt any
country in eight or ten battles.
