expectation. We may desire something
without expecting it, and we may ex-
pect without desiring. Often we ex-
pect without wishing for what the
expectation may bring, as its nature
may be such as to render it haneful.
When both desire and expectation are
present we have hope. Hope is what
buoys our spirits, cheers us i'll trouble
and raises our thoughts to higher and
nobler realization of our mission on
earth and reward of immortality.
Without hope there is nothing to live
for, nothing to strive for, nothing to
expect. AS the mother leans over her
dying child it is hope that comforts
her when she strokes the feverish brow
the hope that her darling will yet live.
When the last vestige of earthly hope
is gone, there yet remains the hope that
looks upward to grander and purer
things, free from sorrow, trials and
failures to exhilarate the soul with
bright anticipations.
AS we understand the word, charity
is giving, but in its biblical sense tim
plies love. In translating the scrip
lures from the original tongues into
English, charity and love were found
to be nearly if not quite synonymous,
but the lapse of centuries has widened
the meaning. Charity is not always a
virtue. 1t may be a mistaken act of
kindness, Bestowed indiscriminately
it will do more harm than good, by fos-
tering dependence and idleness. But
love has no limits to it's sweep or ven.
ON in it's tokens. 1t scars above hui
man desires and passions and brings
the soul into communion with its
Maker and Judge to present faith
sealed with hope. Blot out every tri
umph of civilization, every truth OF
science, every axiom of philosophy, ev
cry tenet of religion, every human vir
tue, but leave faith, hope and charity
and every quality that adorns the NOR
al nature would return to re-assert theil
sway.
After the chaplain's discourse, which

Chapel Services.

Rev. J. H. Albert conducted services
in the chapel last Sunday. The exer-
cises were enlivened by the presence of
Miss Bess Waller, of Chippewa Falls,
Wis, who favored the congregation with
two solos. The anthem "Though Your
Sins be as Scarlet" was sung by the choir,
after which Miss Waller sang "The
Holy City," The chaplain invoked
divine blessing, which was followed by
Miss Waller singing Jerusalem and
the congregation joining in the hymn
"Let The Savior In" The chaplain
took his text from 1. Corinthians, XIII.
10. "And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity
Faith, hope and charity are the
means, inspiration and ends of life.
On these rest all that is good, elevating
and sublime in human life; all that it
longs for, all that ennobles it. Chris
tianity breathes their spirit, in its every
doctrine it's every struggle and every
triumph. They are interviewer in the
thoughts, desires and ambitions of
men; they are the ties that binds man
to man and earth to heaven.
Faith is the moving spirit, the inspi-
ration of life that guides man in his
duty to God and his fellow-men. 1t is
the underlying moral force that unites
all agencies in common order, that
smooths the irregularities and discords
of life in uniformity with the ideas and
principles of human existence that
have had their growth, development
and influence in the slow evolutionary
process that have marked the progress
of religion and civilization. The bust
ness man conducts his enterprises with
faith in his associates and the proven
principles of trade, with reliance on
his own capabilities and confidence in
ultimate success. The mechanic, the
miner, the sailor, the professional man,
in fact every member of human So
ciety must guide their undertakings
with faith in each other, free from
doubt and strangers to suspicion.
Hope is trust in faith, with desire and

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS
Paper Read by Member of Glass A. ]

1t is an old saying that "distance

castles and the hills ard valleys Of the
Orient, whose people have been writ

But Americans have been making
history for America the past four hun
dred years, and making it at rate un
precedented in other lands. From the
day the first settler landed on our
eastern shores, the people became
Americans American as distinguished
from European. From the landing of
the Puritans to the Revolutionary
War, the people were seeking a free
dom denied them elsewhere; and how
they at last won it is known to
all. And in winning their freedom
many were the places made historical
and sacred to the heart of every Amer

these, and many more, can but impress
