The Vast Fortune Expended for
Army and Navy.

Mrs. Edward Moore, soprano. sang
very acceptably Gounod's 20 Divine
Kedeemer,' Prof Shepherd playing the
organ accompaniment; followed by Rt.
Rev. f. S. Spalding, bishop of this
Episcopal diocese, who said In part as
follows: For 1908, the American people
have appropriated 500, 1903. Coz for the
navy: S9S, $50. 400 for the army. with So
32l,176 for increase of coast defenses q

of money, six times as much as the
United States eXpends for its legisla-

among other countries Of being special
ly generous to the veterans Of our
wars; twenty times as much as is OK

The maintenance of an army and navy
means readiness for war. and yet tho
whole world is profoundly at peace
Now, what is our object in these great
sums for warlike preparations. when we
hope and pray that war may never
