Sail among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest bilows,
Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend hand to help them
As they launch their boats away.

Up the mountain, steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure
As they slowly pass along
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
II you have not gold and silver
Ever ready at command;

Reach an ever-helping hand,
You can succor the afflicted,
Der the erring you can weep;
You can be true disciple

II you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheave,
Many grains, both ripe and golden,
Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and CLEAN among the briers
Growing rank against the wall,
For it may be that the shadows
Hide the heaviest wheat OF all.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself soldier true,
II where fire and smoke are thickest
There's no work for you 20 do,
When the battlefield is silent
You can go with careful tread
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead. Z
Do not, then, stand idly waiting
For some greater work 10 do; ,

She will never come 10 you.

DO not fear 10 do or dare

English Naval Gunnery.

From the London Express.
The "Whale Island Of Davenport, which
the admiralty have long since. contem-
plated and made an effort to carry out,
shows no signs Of development yet, ana
until the old gunnery school ship Cam
bridge in the Hamoaze Is supplanted by an
up-to-date gunnery school the navy will
suffer some loss in the number OF first
class naval artillerists. The admiralty
have done their utmost to get a new es-
tablishment under way. but there has been
a hitch In the negotiations which has oc-
casioned serious delay In the actual COM
mencement of the work. The authorities
have purchased a capital site near Devon
port from Major General Pole-Carew. C.B.,
which covers 120 acres, at cost of f4O, COO;
but the tenants now In occupation have a
right to remain until Lady day next year,
and they will neither meet the advances OF
the admiralty nor consent to the matter
being settled by arbitration. 1t Is thou
sand pities that such poor spirit is be-
ing shown to the admiralty, who, in this
matter at all events, appear anxious TO
keep thoroughly up to date with the re-
quirement of the important port. Plans
for the new establishment point to the
fact that no expense is to be spared In Civ
ing seamen stationed at Devonport every
facility for making themselves proficient
In the all-important art Of guhnery. and
as skilled g1lnnery means extra pay the
handy men at Dey0nport are by no means

white light, my mental vision is taken up

one small foot peeping from beneath her

the tears starting In her eyes. In the

And that is why l am back before the

her. The stranger yet unborn is nearer

human beings in the world she is furthest
removed from me.
