DEATH LIST NIL ON BRITISH RAIL
ROADS.

London, August q, 1909 Not a Single
rus4eI ger on railways in the United King
dom lost his life through accident during
1908. This is perhaps the most interesting
feature of the general report to the Board Of
Trade, which has just been issued, on the
accidents that have occurred on the railways
Of the United Kingdom during I0st year.
One can understand the significance of
this "clean sheet on lonrning that, So FIR rs
the records 20, there has been 6nly one pre-
vious year I901-in which no passengers
were killed in train accidents, and that the
average number Of passengers 50 killed dur
lug the last ten years Is twenty one. The
number injured under similar circumstances
49, 283-is also very low, the average number
for the last ten years being 626.
The Board of Trade figures also show a
decrease in the total number Of fatal acct
dents duo to the running Of trains and an
increase in the non-fatal cases, mainly caus-
ed by accidents to railway servants. compar-
cd with the previous ten years. The report
also gives the following striking comparative
figures Of the number Of passengers killed or
injured per journey
During 1908, / killed in every II, 100000
journeys average previous II years, | killed
in every 100000 journeys.
During 1908, l injured on every 67O,049

years, and were inspired by her innate patriot
ism and deep love for dear relatives who were
members Of that regiment, two of whom save

no THE TwENTY-s1xTH MAINE REGIMENT.
They have started, those brave soldiers,
Our blest liberty to save;
They are marching on to glory,
Or are marching to grave;
To the battle they are going,
In each brave defense to mix,
And the name that marks their progress
Is the gallant Twenty Sixth.
They have left their own loved hearthstones
Mid the pine clad hills of Maine;
They have parted with the dear ones
They may never meet again;
Mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts.
Children, many happy band,
They have left behind to wait them
In this pleasant northern land.
Fair faced boys, not out of teenhood,
Strong in all their youthful might,
Join with men of many summers
In the noble cause of right;
With stout hearts meath their blue jackets
They are marching on their way
And the autumn winds play lightly
With the brown hair and the gray.
We shall miss them; we shall miss them,
AS the summer passes by;
We shall miss them yet as sadly
When the winter draweth nigh,
With yearning at our heart strings
We shall watch for their return,
And the bright lamp of remembrance
Never, never'll cease to burn.
IT'S good cause they have entered,
Striving treason's wrath to quell;
May the Ever powerful guide them
Mid the flying shot and shell;
And to every name may glory
Its own shining seal affix,
And once more to dear New England
May we greet the Twenty-Sixth

A Unique Church.

The author of the famous hymn, "Throw Out
the Life Line" Rev. E. S. Ufford, has just built
a unique church, called Galilee Temple, at
Rockland, Me. Mr.. Ufford has been Baptist
pastor for thirty years. He wrote his wonder
full hymn in 1884, but it did not become popular
until 1892, when Mr.. Sankey stepped upon the
platform before 10000 Christian Endeavor
young people in New York and sang a new
hymn. 1t fell like thrilling voice from heaven
and swayed the listeners with new impulse for
Christian work. The church is the result of
Mr.. Ufford's long cherished wish to erect a
monument to his hymn. 1t is unpretentiouS,
costing only about $4,000, and was built mostly
from the pastors funds and by his own hands,
There are to be no fees, nor schemes, for it's

Shipmen on entering the harbor are greeted
by the tower surmounted by an anchor, and on

There are eight memorial windows. A Frances
E. Willard memorial window was presented by
the local union through its president, Mrs. R.
