There's heaven above and night by night,
look right through its gorgeous roof;
No suns and moons, though eer so bright,
Avail to stop me; splendor-prOof
l keep the broods of stars aloof;
For intend to get to God,
For it's TO God speed so fast,
For in Gods breast, my own abode.
Those shoals of dazzling glory passed.
/ lay my spirits down at last
] lie where have always lain,
God smiles as He hassalways smiled;
Ere suns and moons could wax and wane.
Ere stars were thunder-girt, or piled
The heavens, God thought on me- His
child"

We think not. He was a West Pointer

on April 1S 1897. and ended on Sept IS. 1897
The war was caused probably by some of
the great powers, which wanted, by having
Greece whipped, to dispose of her as a fac
tor in any future question arising over the
Eastern arrangements. but the visible rea-
son was the refusal Of the Greeks to allow
the powers to settle the disturbances in
Crete. in which settlement the rights of the
Greek subjects were entirely ignored. The
Greeks began the war, but the Sultan de-
clared war on the date given and peace was
made on the latter date. 8. The Chinese
Japanese war was declared on July 81, 1884,
and was ended by treaty signed on April
II, 1895. 1t was caused by Japanese unrest
at China's hold over Corea, a kingdom
which Japan wanted either as her own or
as independent. The Chinese had asserted
the rights which the Coreans had admitted
for years, but Japan demanded that she
have share with China in carrying out
certain reforms. Hostilities began in June,
but war was not declared formally until the
end of July. 4. Gladstone was an oxford
man; his college was Christ Church. He
graduated in 1881.
