What the Cross symbolizes.

Christ cross is a standard of service.
The altar of sacrifice, with its offering Of
submission, becomes the standard of di-
vine service. Sacrifice for others and
submission to Gods will are tho ele-
ments of Christian service which are
symbolized in tho cross. To live selfish,
thoughtless lives, disregardful of the
needs of the world, caring for our own
things and not for the good of others, is
to live far from Calvary's cross. Selfish
ness has no place i'll Christian service,
for selfishness disowns the cross. Sub
mission to Gods will in doing or in
bearing is highest Christian service.
The cross is the symbol of the highest
service that we can render to God. -

The loss Of the Reina Regente recall
ed the fact that Spain, once the greatest
naval power Of the world, has lost not
less than 600 men-of-war in shipwreck
since the beginning of the sixteenth cen
tury. There is ample documentary evil
dence to this effect, and the greatest dis
asters to the Spanish fleets are here re-
counted in their chronologic order.
OF the fleet sent against Algiers i'll

with 1000 men on board.

OF the fleet that sailed in 1869, under
General Mendoza, to deliver Oran from
the Mussulmans, 20 ships, including
the flagship, with the above named gen
eral on board, never returned.
A year later, in the fall of 1868, a
cyclone in the bay of Cadiz sent 10 of
tho governments best carayels to the
bottom.
In 1888 tine famous armada, believed
to be invincible, met her doom in the
English channel, 81 out Of 1870 vessels
sinking with most of their crews. The
loss of men is estimated at II, 900.
Fourteen of Admiral Don Antonio
Navarro's vessels foundered in q storm
off the Mexican coast near San Juan do
Ulloa in 1000.
Six years Liter fearful storm in tho
Biscayan bay caused the loss of Al YES

Not long after this Admiral Marquis

men, ON the Corsiean coast.
After long pause General Jose Pi-
zarro lost five men-of-war in an engage
ment with the English i'll 174t.
Within the last 1875 years the records
are much easier of access, and tho fig
ures can be given absolutely correct. In
this time the Spaniards lost ~ large
