DIR. Hillis-To the lover of his kind
nothing is so hard to bear as the slow
upward progress of society. Man is
not accustomed to intervals in which a
thousand years is a brief day. Man is
accustomed to brief intervals, but no
Christian reformer or patriot need be
sick with hopes because it is long de-
ferrad. Not until aeons are past shall
society burst into bloom and full fruit

our world is a good world nevertheless

Why are these days if God loves the
triumphs of justice? He who sows the
seeds of Christian character and cult
ure must be patient. He is the brave
hero who redeems himself out of the
present. The truly great man has the
courage of the future and can wait
An increase of value means an increase
of age upon age of growth. For her
things nature asks a long time. A
thousand years in Gods sight are but
"a yesterday. The OK and wooden cart
journeyed long way to the horseless
carriage of today.
In the realm of law and social lib
erty the best things ask for wanting
Out of nothing nothing ever comes.
He who holds in his hand the modern
book holds in his hand the fruitage of
long years. The sciences increase in
value only as time is spent on them.
How rude We're mans early thoughts
of religion. Slowly it began to be per-
ceived that a parent who monopolizes
the best for himself stands out a mon
ster of degradation.
When thousand years had become
as day Christ entered the earthly
scene and unveiled God as desiring to
minister unto others, not to be minis
tered to. Slowly God increased in rich
ness, until at last the praise unto God
has become unspeakably rich as we
know him better. Time will come
when christianity will be automatic in
all citizens, and will need no temple or
teacher. Men with christianity auto
matte in their hearts will need less
christianity through outward institu-
tons.

WHY WE WON.
How the Man Behind the Guu Was Trained
IN Or Navy.

From the time Of the destruction Of
the Maine in the harbor Of Havana,
on February Is, our naval force In
southern waters had been placed par
TALLY upon a war footing. 1t was not
by any means that war was consider
ed inevitable. On the contrary 1t was
thought that even should the court Of
inquiry decide that the Maine had been
treacherously destroyed, Spain would
meet all reasonable demands; but the
state of preparation was a state Of Sc
curly demanded by military pru-
dence, and also was valuable to men
and officers as a discipline and exer-
else. The men had already been we'll
trained at the guns-well instructed In
their mechanism and manuals-the
principal business Of the cruising man
Of war in time Of peace; but to this
training was added constant daily tar
get practice with sub-calibre hre-a
form of exercise which is much APP
proved, and for which all batteries
are now fitted. 1t consists in firing
small projectile from large gun, en-
ploying the pointing and aiming me-
chanism of the latter. To effect this
the small gun Is placed inside the
breech of the large gun and precisely
in its center, and Is held there by
special fitting. So adjusted, its axis
comedies with that of the larger piece,
and, except for the shock and recon,
the normal firing conditions with full
charge are initiated. One-pounders
are ordinarily employed for the sub
calibre Of the heavy turret guns, and
musket barrels for those Of the sec
ondary batteries. During those wait
ing days at Tortugas and Key West,
fRttering flags d few hundred yards
from each ship showed the targets,
and for hours each day the splash of
bullets followed the rifle reports with
monotonous regularity. After each
shot the gun was swung off the tar
get, brought back, and aimed anew for
the next, thus making 1t an indepen-
dent exercise. 1t was not inspiring
or dramatic, this steady burning of
powder in small quantities during the
sultry afternoons, but it was the sort
Of work which makes war deadly, and
1t bore its fruit in the swift and ter
yible destruction OF Cervera's fleet.
