panion we are greatly reminded that

David's body inhabits his narrow
bed of clay, but his memory still lives
in the minds of his schoolmates.
They feel his loss greatly.
ITO see him was to be drawn to
him" He was kind, courteous, hon
est, and truthful.
And it is true that we no more.
Shall hear his footsteps at the door,
Nor see his form, nor hear his voice,
That made every heart rejoice?
Alas, tits true, no more on earth
Shall David charm US with his mirth;
But praising God above he'll be,
With saints through all eternity.

THE CURAN QUESTION.

AS the Philadelphia Times says
it is not probable that the Presi-
dent will take aggressive action on
the Cuban question until the pres
clouds hanging over Spain and the
United States shall have entirely
rolled by. We are likely to be
very much better prepared for
war a month hence than we are
now, especially in the strength of
our navy, that would have to bear
the brunt of such a contest, and
the better we are prepared for war
the better will be the assurance Of
peace
OF course, the present fendish-
ly inhuman struggle in Cnba can
cot last indefinitely It has al
ready crimsoned the history of
three long years, involving the
loss of hundreds of millions OF
property and the sacrifice of hun
dreds of thousands Of lives, many
OF whom were brntally murdered
either by the sword Or by system
attic starvation. Such warfare,
violating every law of humanity,
cannot be permitted to continue,
and the question OF intorvation on
the part of our government is only
one Of time.
The insurgents in Cuba should
have been granted belligerent
rights two years ago. If that had
been done the war would have end
cd year later, and Cuba would
now be free with an incalculable
sacrifice of life and property avert
ed. This duty has been delayed
too long, and we doubt not that as
soon as it shall be expedient for
our government to intervene,
within the lines of international
law, it will be done. When that
time shall come, war with Spain
will be not only possible but
probable We shall not have war
because either Spain or this coun-
try desires it, but simply because
Spain must choose between war
abroad or revolution at home.
That there will be early action
on the Cuban question by our
government we do not doubt, but
it is not likely to be precipitated
Just when we are beginning
the expenditure of $50, ,o0O,-
900 to strengthen our navy
and prepare for the defense Of
our coast. A littli patience
now and this government will size
up to it's duty in pre- eotiug the
rights Of those who have so
bravely battled for the freedom Of
Cuba.

progress and sources of comfort
and joy. Oh! the unconquerable
peace of heart that, loving God,
can be disturbed by no untoward
happening! Oh, the sweet ease
Of life that knows no thorns,
because it can weave them into
a crown OF precious jewels.
Remember, Almighty God is
with you. This is His will, your
sanctifcation. All you need do
is never consciously to oppose
His will, and no harm can befall
you. He will watch over you
with tender care. He will put it
in your power to surmount and
despite all difficulties and obsta-
cles, and make of them means of
progress. All things will work
together unto your good, if you
are but faithful in obeying His
will as you know it. Oppose it
not, then; strive to be faithful to
Him, and His care will see that
your destiny shall be realized.
By a thousand ties you are
bound to loyalty and obedience to-
ward Him. Then above all, do
not cross His will in regard to
your own sanctifcation. Make
that mstter as dear to you as fight
ing for your flag, or defending the
honor of your friend. Never give
up when tempted by weariness or
discouragement in your struggles
to progress: repeat to yourself,
"This is the will of God, my sane
tifcation," and rouse yourself to
renewed effort, both because you
are anxious to fulfil Gods will,
and because you know that what
He wills for you is the sure and
certain outcome of your labors.
Strive on, then, and confidently.
Let that which is the will of God
be dear to you, and labor hard for
your sancti6cation.
