Some of them have been bold enough to say
that there Is nothing in the Confession Of Faith
about the love Of God but this is only another
proof that they have never read confession.
Those who have read IL with any degree Of
care, have no difficulty IN finding the place
where the Westminster 'dvinos speak OF the
love Of God They even took pains to express
their high idea OF Gou's love in the supcrlativc
degree. Ia the very first section Of the second
chapter, they not only say that God is gracious,
and mcrCiful and full of compassion, and most
holy most wise, and most free hut that He is
most loving. aud in support Of that at
hrmation, they quote those Scriptures where the
apostle John says twice over, God is love"
And they also quote that palmary text Of Rev.
olation, God so loved the world that lie

II must be confessed. however, that some things
in the confession, like some things in Holy
Scripture, are "hard to be understood" and it
is fact they that are "unlcarned and unstable
have wrestcd and twisted these things out Of
all proportion. But nevertheless those WHO
cling most tenaCousy to the old confession
ought to make due allowance and provision for
sincere inquirers who differ from them. The
Westminster diyincs prepared a little book
called "Ihc shorter CatcChism." and they say
that they arranged and compiled il for "suCh as

Is A GLOBE TROTTER,
American 7 Typewriter Finds Its Way
to All Corners of Earth.
Exports of This Machine, NJ Well ~
of Tools and other Machinery,
Are Constantly Increasing
Last Years Record

Exports of American tools and ma
chinery do not show the shrinkage in
volume which recent reports would in
dictate. Some concern has been ex-
pressed by leading export houses by
reason of falling off in foreign orders
due to the high prices of iron and steel
In this connection it will be interesting
10 note that the exports of builders
hardware, saws and tools during the
fiscal year 1900 were the largest in the
history of our export trade, being So
646, OF, against s7.842. 372 in 1889. &c.
627, AGO in 1897 and SIS, 500, 1873 in 1896,
prior to which year the exports in this
line had never aggregated so much as
81. 600 GOO
While our chief market for machinery
is still to be found in European coun-
tries. an increasing proportion is being
sold in the far east, especially in Brit
ish Australasia. Japan a7d India In
1898 our exports of builders hard ware
and tools to British Australasia
amounted to ss77.635. in 1900 they ag-
gregated 81 ,325. 1893; in 1898 our exports
in this line to japan were s76.50O. while
in 1900 they were siO6.251. Our exports
of typewriters to British Australasia in
1895 amounted to $50 .03e. while in the
fiscal year 1900 they were $10I .002: 10
japan the exports of typewriters in
1895 amounted to but 1920; in 1859
they had increased to $7.262. and in
1900 to $16.579, of which sum s22Il
were exported during the month of
June a-one, thus forecasting in some
degree the possibilities of future de-
velopment in this article of export
Commenting upon the increase in ex-
ports of typewriters. a prominent
American manufacturer is quoted by
the New York Commercial as saying:

ers was never greater. and our ma

foreign business men in China use our
machines, and nearly every American

three to five machines; and as business
increases at Manila under American

NAVAL STATION APPROVED.
sharp Dispute Between Naval Ofacer~
Over the Puget sound Plant
Settled

There has been row among naval
officers over the equipment of the
torpedo boat Goldsborough, which
was built by Portland tOre.) firm
Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief con-
structor of the navy, was anxious to
have the boat equipped for service at
the Puget Sound naval station. The
other members of the board of CON
struetion. to which board the ques-
ton was submitted, recommended
the boat be sent to San Francisco.
Hichborn took the position that
there was a great deal of work re-
naming at the Mare Island navy
yard, which is near San Francisco,
and that it could not be possible to
fit the Goldsborough out at that
yard. After some considerable con-
troversy over the matter Secretary
Long directed the Goldsborough to be
the torpedo boat Rowan has just been
fitted out for service
Some of the officers who were
beaten in this discussion secured tele-
graphic orders from the navy de-
partment detailing Capt Henry Glass
to make an inspection of the Rowan
and the facilities at the Puget Sound
station for doing such work. The
assignment of Capt. Glass to this duty
was a surprise to the bureau of con-
struction, and the charge is now
made that there has been some I'M
demanded work on the part of high
naval officers to secure an official re-
port, the tenor of which was expect
ed to show that the Rowan was in a
bad way and the Puget Sound sta
ton in an inadequate condition.
Capt. Glass report has been received
in Washington. and it shows not only
that the Rowan was fully and prop
erly equipped, but that the Puget
Sound station is in every way adapted
TO high grade of naval work. in

The hreezes come. the breezes pass.
And up the glen they run. revealed
Against an overlooking field
OF cleaning undulating grass
Like benedictions on the earth.
Like blessings on the summer day,
They make a soul more glad than gay.
And wake a Joy more deep than mirth.
The troubles of the town Increase;
But here there is no stir nor strife.
And here It's good to bring life
To be persuaded back to peace.
i wis the year contained a day
When none shall suffer. die or weep:
One rest for all upon the steep.
One well for all beside the way.
The town is very tired Alast
Its thin smile cannot mask its pain;
And they are rich enough who gain
Cool breezes and a couch of grass.
