EXTENT OF MERCY.

The merciful whom Jesus pronounces
blessed will deal tenderly with the erring
and the fallen, even as God has dealt
tenderly with them. But how long and
how often are we to be merciful? Shall
/ show mercy to my brother or my son,
or my daughter, or my neighbor, twice
or thrice, or perchance seven times?
Yes, seven times-and not only so, but
seventy times seven. IF he trespass
against thee seven times in day and
seven times in a day turn again to thee
saying, repent, thou shalt forgive him.
When the apostles heard these words of
Jesus ii is no wonder they said unto
Him. Lord increase our faith"
The merciful shall obtain mercy. No
doubt of It, Even in this life they will
receive goodly share of il. Mercy be-
gets mercy, as love begets love. Mercy
enriches its possessor. 1t has q reflex in
fluence. 1t besses him who gives as well
as him who takes Mercy never tries to
override justice, but it rejoices when JUS
tice is satisfied and when its sword is
sheathed.
In the person of Jesus Christ, mercy
became incarnate. Even now, i'm this
world of sin, and sorrow, and strife, and
suffering, and death; far above the sound
of war and strife OF tongues, we can
hear the voice of our Redeemer as in
richest. clearest, sweetest tones He ut
ters afresh those wonderful words:
BLESSED are the merciful; for they shall
obtain mercy" May that blessedness be
ours.

Michigan Naval Reseryes ON the Yo.emlte !

Michigan Naval Reserves on the Yosemite
Michigan's Naval Reserves-or 225 of
them-were called to Norfolk, Va, TO
man the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite
which will join the flying squadron in
Hampton Roads instead of being given
coast patrol duty as at first intended.
The Yosemite has been well armored,
has 10 six-inch guns and will probably
do good service ii given an opportunity.
The Michigan Reserves are enthusiastic
will make their patriotism felt if they
get chance at the Spaniards. They
their organization and even without
assurances that they would retain their
officers There were about IS members
of the Reserves left at home by the
first call, but they will await the sec
ond call for volunteers.
The 225 Michigan Naval Reserves
who went to the front at the first call
reached Norfolk, Va, after a pleasant
and rapid journey and were immedi
ately quartered on board the training
ship Franklin until the auxiliary
cruiser Yosemite should be ready for
duty. 1t is understood that as soon as
the Yosemite is armed and manned she
will join Commodore Schley's flying
squadron.
A second call for the Michigan Naval
Reserves was for an additional compile

Washington Wild With Joy.

Not since the dark days of the great
civil conflict of third of century
ago, have the people of Washington
been SO profoundly moved by war news
as they were when the news came that
the first battle of the Hispano-Am eri-
can war had been fought and victory
lies with Admiral Dewey's squadron
under the Stars and Stripes. That was
enough to set the people of Washing
ton almost in a frenzy of enthusiastic
rejoicing. When the news came indi-
eating a great victory for the American
squadron the enthusiasm of the people
was let loose and the streets of the city
rang with cheers throughout the night.
1t was a spontaneous outburst of pa
triotic feeling that scarcely knew
bounds. Admiral Dewey's name was
on every lip and praises were sung in
the rejoicings of the people. Govern
ment officials were greatly relieved by
the news of an American victory.

Dewey Takes Manila.

Commodore Dewey, according later
dispatch from Madrid, gave Capt. Gen.
August "a hours to comply with an
ultimatum which demanded all war.
like stores and the entire stock of coal
in charge of the government officials.
The ultimatum asserted that no money
levy would be made upon Manila. The
dispatch says it is believed in Madrid
that the government at once cabled
Capt. Gen. August authority to comply
with the demand, no other course be-
ing open. 1t is said that Commodore
Dewey has demanded the surrender of
all the Spanish vessels in the Philip.
pine archipelago, threatening to bonn
bard the forts if he is refused.
1t is reported that after destroying
the Spanish feet Commodore Dewey
attacked the Notifications at Cavite,
east of Manila, and destroyed them and
the unfortined part of Manila, marines
were landed from the American vessels
and took possession of Cavite. The
Spanish Notifications on Corregidor
island, at the entrance to Manila bay
were also reduced by the fleet.
