For the love of the Lord who loves US

The night may seem dark and stariess'
The morn NAV be cold and drear,
Bnt the dav will come. the sun will shine
And the world will be full Of cheer
Sing YOU who are sad and lonely,
And YOU with the spirit light:
The love Of the Lord is precious thing
And his judgments are just and right
What though a few clouds gather

The glorious rays Of a love divine

GERMAN NAVY AND OURS.
A Comparison of the Kaiser's and
Uncle Sans Marine Forces.

Germany has twenty-five battleshipS
ten. says Harpers Weekly. She is
building eight to our ten. She has four
armored cruisers where we have two.
out she is building only three where
we are building nine. In protected
cruisers she has nineteen to our four
teen and is building three to our six.
In unprotected cruisers she has twenty
to our six. In coast defenders she has
eleven to our fifteen-ours are of the
monitor type-and is building no more,
while we are constructing four. She
has something like 40 torpedo boats
to our thirty-two. but these vessels are
already out of date, and neither coun-
TRY is building any more. She has
thirty torpedo deStroyers to our TWEEN
". We have eight submarines to none
for Germany. Altogether she has about
rs warships to our 40, but inasmuch
Is she has over 100 more torpedo boatz
han we have-vesseIS that are useless
the present disparagement between
ne navies of the two countries is not
o great as the total figures would in
licate.
One of the latest of the German bat
tleships has Just been launched. Ii
represents the new type 1t is not as
.arge as the more recent of American
Oattleships. but is compact and of the
bulldog order. Its name is the Braun
schwr~ IT is 39S.G2 feet long. 1880
Feet wide aud 2110 feet draft. 1t dis
places 1920 tons as against about
10000 tons of the newer English and
American battleships. 1t has a speed
Of eighteen knots an hour, which is
about the average required of the lar
yest vessels of this class. The new bat
tleship carries G60 officers and men.
