There are innumerable things to be
done before the executive officer can
make his report, and It is on record
that in recent days q French admiral
made signal to the vessels Of his COM

until two days later, and adds that the

OF war was saying to me a few morn
4ings ago, when suddenly down the
ward-room hatch came the sonorous
cry Of Clear ship" and the rest Of it,
and and simultaneously there came the
quick stamp Of feet overhead and what
looked like the complete and instant
Generalization Of the entire crew. A
ward-room attendant on the way to us
with box Of Manillas dropped the box
and fed up the gangway, almost over
turning in his flight gray bearded

From the bridge the executive was
shouting orders. It is a saying in the
navy that the executive officer of a
man-of-War has nothing to do in life
but attend to everything. He seemed
to be doing it when saw him that No

they We're not unshipping them fast
enough. Another party was clustered
ABOUT the anchors unstocking a bower
whose stock might have interfered
with boW-gun fire. The executive
shouted to them to make haste, and
turned instantly his attention to the
carpenters gang engaged in taking in
the gangWay ladders and removing
sentry gratings. The gunner crossed
his line Of vision at that moment, and

Clear ship for action!"

Clear ship for action! y l sE
That order is often heard on board
ships Of the American navy for pu1-
poses of drill, and it sometimes looks
as though it might be heard in earnest
There isla magically martial thrill IN
every note Of it, and there is no other
that will send the same sort of galvan-
as will this sharp command. The CRY
Of "All hands save ship!'' is startling
enough, but it generally comes during
a stress of weather, and after nerves
have been steadied by the knowledge
that dangers threaten and that the ship
is begirt with peril.
But the other-the order to make
ready for battle nay come, and most
often does, when business is meant,
like a bolt from the blue. The ship
may be steaming along over sunlit seas,
her crew going about their duties OF
every day, when suddenly the cry is
heard. The obserYant among them
may have heard the hail Of "sail hot
from the lookout, and may have no
ticed the swift inspection Of the dim
dot and it's smudge of smoke by the Of
fcer on the bridge. They may also
have heard the officer say to the or
sderly to report the sail to the captain,
and may have noted the commander
as he made his way from cabin to
bridge. He looks intently at the
stranger through his marine glass. and
after a keen scrutiny, speaks to the Of
icer of the deck in an undertone. The
officer halls the boatswain's mate, who
sounds long-drawn whistle, which
every body on board knows to mean
| attention. and then roars out7the or
| ller from his superior:
Clear ship for action!''
The hitherto quiet ship at once
springs into busting life. The first
lieutenant, or executive officer, as he is
more frequently called, comes on run
to the bridge, if perchance he is not al
ready there, buckling on his side arms
at the time. He touches his cap to the

of war. An American admiral would
wear out a string Of signal flags repri-
handing commanding officer who did
not get his ship ready for battle within
a 1.-THE of that time. And as a matter
of fact it can be stated that any one of
the ships belonging to the North At
lantic fleet can be cleared and ready to
do business with an enemy within
twenty minutes Of the order.
8 But here are some of the things to
be done: 1t is laid down in the regula-
3tions that while thoroughness and pro-
dciency are Of main Importance in pre-
pairing for action the element Of time
must never be lost sight Of. Much
the regulations say, may depend upon
the celebrity with which a ship can be
prepared for battle, and time is always
ia measure Of efficiency and sign of a
ell-disciplined and smart crew.
. Modern vessels are expected to fight
under way, and it was to cover the con-
ditions Of such encounters that these
regulations were framed. Should a ship
fight at anchor, it would be under ex-
ceptional circumstances, and such de-
tails as the preparing or putting Of
springs on cables, rigging out torpedo
defence, organizing picket serv-
lice, and so on, is left to the ingenuity
or discretion of the commanding Of
ifcer. {. e. IA; 81

Seldom have all features OF an Easter
day conspired to make so great success
in Hillsboro, as last Sabbath at the
Methodist Church. The day itself was
most beautiful, the decorations exquisite,
the music splendid, and the audience, in
size, taxed the capacity of the large
audience room to hold it. Everything
seemed to beautify and enforce the
theme OF "Immortality," which was the
chosen thought Of the morning hour. In
the afternoon a love feast was held
which proved in it's line 60 unusual, as
the other services OF the day in theirs.
The entire Sabbath was one which will
not soon be forgotten.

Mrs. Ola w. Smith, nee Gray was born
in the year 1896, June 2lst. died April
4th, 1897, aged 27 years, 9 months and
l3 days.
She leaves kind and loving husband,
little son and daughter to mourn her
loss.
She was married in the year 1890, to
Edgar L. Smith.
Mrs. Smith was told by her physician
on Sabbath morning that she would have
to die, that her stay on earth with loved
ones would be short. She seemed to
to mediate few moments, and said her
sufferings would soon be over and she
would be at rest, "the Lords will not
mine, be done."
She said she would like to kiss her
dear little ones goodbye once more, and
and that it was hard to give them up.
But she knew that God would care for
them.
She expressed desire TO see all her
loved ones. But said if she could not
live that long, it was all right. Her
father arrived short time before her
death, and asking her how she was, she
replied. II have given my heart to Je-
sus, and am 80 happy this morning"
She repeatedly said to her loved ones,
"Don't weep for me, for ] am so tired,
I want to 90 and be at rest."
She had united with the church eight
years ago.
The funeral was preached bp Rev. g.
