WHAT HAVE WE LOST: -,
What have we lost who mourn a nation 8 ch4ei'
Struck down by one to whom he gave ms uus''
Amid the people whom he lovedF Els aus.
Sleeps low within the silent tomb our eTIet
Wakes with each dawn TO question our oeneI
That God is Just Why are we thus nere1t'
Why was he taken and the outcast ieft?
VIII time and faith bring sorrow sure reiierF
Lost is the kindly presence that we knew;
Calm patient. wise. gentle. yet strong OF VIII
The welcome grasp the winning smile that drew
All men to him are lost The voice is still
Whose last farewell Of love and faith borne through
The rnists OF death we heard with solemn thrill.
WHAT HAVE WE GAINED?
What have we gained whose best beloved friend
The Lord hath called nearer TO him? Release
From toll and strife is his reward. and peace
Which passeth understanding without end
Can death bring gain those whose prayers ascend
For nightly visions of his vanished form;
Or the nation which through calm and storm
Tfis wisdom gained3 Yes For death lend
Immortal power to words and deeds night
Lends glory to the stars. This is our gain.
His words q deeper wisdom speak, and bright
With their eternal worth his deeds remain
Death cannot quench nor dim the living light
or his pure life which God took not IN vain

Bremerton town on Puget Sound is now sery-
ing a good purpose in illustrating one effective way
OF dealing with the saloon evil, and the vices
which its almost tnseparable attendants. Upon
the establishment OF navy yard at that town
saloon men quick TO see the advantage OF
being in position 70 annex the payroll of the
men. and in short time there were no less than
sixteen gtnmills on the main street of the town.
AS a result, the money of the employees was
promptly transferred to the TIL of the saloons
while the navvies received jags in return and
discipline became impossible az the navy ward.
Finally. the people of Bremerton were given to
derstand that unless they diminished and rery-
lated the saloon evil ships would be sent
to that station for repairs As as the govern
ment showed 1t was in earnest in this threat the
authorities OF Bremerton responded by raising the
saloon license from $500 to se0O. and banishing all
saloons from the main TO side streets of the town
This had the effect at once OF cutting down the
saloons to six. and these are well conducted while
in addition, the town has practically been freed
from vice. which always nourishes in connection
with the low saloon. Work has now been resumed
at the navy yard. and the "Jackiss" are once moro
enabled to keep some money IN their pockets and
discipline again be enforced
