IN MEMORIAM.
EulOgy of Victoria.

Contributed.
The nOblest woman of the greatest
people of the grandest age the world
has ever seen. Born in 1919. Crowned
in 1887. Married in 1910. She lived
to be the mother, the grandmother,
the mother-in-law, the step-mother
to all EurOpe-and god mother to
christendOm.
Queen of England, Empress of
India, CZarrina of the British realm
upon which the sun never sets, and
the hum of her Industries keep time
with the Whirr of the world through
space, mistress of the sea, monitor
of the nations, chaperon of the peo-
pie, matrOn of the heather, she has
with one caress wiped the tattooed
marks from the face of the New
Zpalander. clothed the nude Australi-
amin the garments of the Strand and
taught them in accents English to
sing "Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Her portrait, one of the first of the
suns paintings, she heard the first
faint shrek of the locomotive, stood
sponsor at the birth of the telegraph
and under her fostering care, she
nursed these things into the titan
giants of the worlds work. From
her palace window she has seen the
shipping in the Offing under puff of
steam mOltits white wings of canvass
as bird it's plumage and move upon
the waters as things of life going and
coming in the face of wind and tide,
while upon the land the locomotive
| on its iron ways with it's pOnderous
loads of merchandise and a great
| concOurse of people goes darting past
swifter than the weaver's shuttle, out
| across the broad Atlantic towards
the setting sun. She has seen that
hayward offspring of her household
denying parental authority standing
with one foot upon the land the
| other in the sea with her head in the
clouds strike match upon the sky,
| light the electric arc transforming
the night into day, teaching the
winds to behave and the storms to
| herald their coming. In sheer wan
tonness heis toying with the spheres,
tearing the elements, lassooing the
lightnings i'll the clouds and harness
ing them to his commisural threads
OF thought that weave a plexus over
every hill, and under every sea send
| inG them on missions of heraldrv to
the ends of the earth and far off
islands of the seas with fpetness
behind which even lag the swift winged
arrows OF light. In the privacy of
her own chamber by the still small
voice of the wire monster with the
| copper tongue, in her own vernacular
she reads tOmOrrOw's transactions
of the Eastern world a literal tres
pass upon divinity, a look into the
future wherein it is written. time was
but time shall be no more. Here in
the fullness of time, the completeness
OF all LIES work, as she passes out

Whv then, to increase our efficiency
sbould we believe in and work TO
foreign missions? First OF all We
should believe in foreign missions be-
cause Jesus believes in it, and We be-
lieye in Him. We might spend an
hour studying His teachings on the
subject. but it is only Necessary to
read three passages. Read Matthew
2Sth chapter, 10Th and Goth verses;
Mark 10Th chapter and 18th verse,
and Acts LIST chapter and 9Th verse
There is no uncertain sound about
these passages. They ring as clear
as a bell. There is not a single con-
dition in them. Not only do these
verses convince US that Jesus believes
in foreign missions, but they lead US
to believe that it is the cause that
lies nearest His heart. Second, we
should believe in foreign missions be-
cause Jesus has taught us a prayer,
"Our Father which art in Heaven"
Whose Father? The Father of all,
His children in every nation under
heaven.
Canwe say it, and then in the same
breath say we do not believe in Civ
ing Il helping hand for the advance
ment of Gods teachings among two
thirds of the kingdoms of this world?
We are proud to state that where
our missionaries go, there has been
marked change in the reception
OF the gospel by the natives. And
where We find consecrated men and
women willing to leave family, and
friends, for the glorious object, and
the poor heather begging for the
gospel, let US, as Christians. act our
part nobly, by sending greater con-
tributiOns to accomplish the object
for which God created us.
AS we look back over the past we
| can recall several things OF special
interest that have brought bright
hess and cheer into our lives, but the
one thought that predominates, and
rises above all others is that the liv-
ing God, has been. and is ever with
US. This is sufficient to guarantee
success, and to increase our eff
| cheney.
Then may we go forth this new
year with renewed energy, being in
spired with power to do more for the
| blessed Saviour than ever before.
keeping ourselves unspotted from
the world, living humbly, abiding
under the shadow of the Almighty.
For as the stream flows most
pleasant when it approaches the
ocean; as the flowers send up their
sweetest odOrs at the close of day; as
the SUI appears with greatest beauty
in his going down, so at the end OF
our career the virtues of charity, self
sacrifice in living to help Others, will
come before US, with the most blessed
remembrance and impart Joy which
we never felt.
Over all the moments of life reli-
| giOn scatters her favOrs, but reserves
her best, her choicest, her divinest
blessings for the last honor
Then with such happiness promised
US, let US not live for self, but for
| helping Others to reach and live a
grander. higher, and holier life.
May God help us ALL to think
more earnestly over the subject OF
Missions, pray more fervently for it,
give more literally to it's cause, and
do all we can to hasten the day when
the gospel light shall fash over every
hill and valley in this wide world.
Then, we will find ourselves becom-
ing more efficient in our MASTER
work.

GRABoWSKY TRUCKS FOR
SERVICE IN PHILIPPINES

Much interest has been shown in a
large truck seen on the streets of De-
troit. Mich, the past week lettered: "A.
L. Ammen Water and Land Transpor-
tation company"
This is one of three trucks that are
to be shipped to Nueva Caceres, Am
bros Camarinus, Isle of Luzon, Phil
ippine islands. 1t is a "Grabowsky,
three tons capacity, special body, COM
bination freight or passenger.
The A. L. Ammen Water and Land
Transportation company has forty
ton steamer which they send up the
river in the mountains. Going up they
deliver kerosene, salt, rice and supplies
to the natives.
Returning en- route Nueva Caceres,
the steamer gathers hemp, which on
reaching the company's wharf at
Nueva Caceres is transferred to the
"Grabowsky" truck, which delivers it
to the warehouse and from there to
the Manila steamer, to which port the
hemp is shipped.
The body is constructed So that when
not in service for freight transporta-
tion it can be changed into a passen-
ger-carrying car. This "Grabowsky'
will be utilized for passenger service
principally during Fiesta" or feast
days, during which time it will carry
several thousand people.
There are thirty miles of maGad-
amized road in and about Nueva
Caceres kept up by two American
Supervisors.
