 CRUISING THE BRINE

passed the word that those desifing to go ashore give their names to the ships writer. A large portion of the ships crew were bankrupt and could not go ashore, but to those who gave in their names shore leave was granted.
 On Italian Soil
 We landed at a quay fronting beauti- ful park of about fifty acres. This has apparently received a great deal of at tention from the caretakers. Passing through the park, one is at once in the business section. The business blocks are of about seven stories and are well constructed. Spezia is city of about 66,000 inhabitants, very industrial and possesses everything that a city ill our country of a similar size does. The eli mate is very mild, and they never have snow. There are both broad and narrow streets, the latter being mostly in the old section and having few or no side walks and are lined with we'll trimmed trees. The people of this enterprising city, are quite different from those, which in the United States go by the name of Dago, of which we should be greatly ashamed. We found them all friendly; all were courteous, well dressed, and presume properly educated. Their style of dress is similar to our own. l have heard it said, that one travelling in Italy is continually beset with beggars. Of Spezia at least this is not true, as during our seven days stop have met none, with the exception of two or three blind men. who have asked us for money. Of course small boys beg for cigarettes. My companion and self were very fortunate in forming the acquaint- ance of an Italian naval electrician who spoke English. He took great pains to show us every redeeming feature of this beautiful city, and his companionship was greatly enjoyed.
 Shopping in Italy
 We walked along all the principal streets, making frequent stops at the diff ferent show windows which were of any attraction, buying various souvenirs and many post cards. In all these stores we were waited upon by good natured clerks, who overlooked our ignorance of their language and customs and appar- ently everything they could do for us was pleasure to them. Everything re bought seemed to be very cheap in price as compared with similar articles at home and we never once felt that we were being over charged or cheated in any way. We dined at first class restaurant, the service being excellent but the cuisine was somewhat strange.
 For this we expected to pay at least a dollar apiece, exclusive of the walters tips' but tO our surprise the bill amounted to only half that sum. In the evening we attended the theatre and saw

~ Life Saving Order.

Many years ago the American war. ship Delaware came near laundering O.. the coast of Sardinia while luffing through a heavy squan during a morn. ing watch. The unauthorized letting go of the fore sheet' alone saved the ship from going down with HOO souls on board. The first lieutenant, after ward Commodore Thomas W. Wyman, with difficult climbing succeeded in reaching the quarterback, |. where, snatching the trumpet from the officer in charge. his first order, given iD a voice heard distinctly fore and aft, was, Keep clear of the paint workP' This command to hundreds of human beings packed in the lee scuppers like sardines fin a box instantly restored them to order and prevented a panic. they naturally feeling that if at such a time. with a line of battle ship on her beam ends. clean paint work was of paramount importance their condition could not be serious one.

an interesting and complete moving picture of the funeral of his majesty, King Edward ,and the orchestra rendered excellent music. Spezia is only 65 miles from the ancient city of Pisa, with it's famous leaning tower, so we resolved that on our next trip ashore we would go there. We received special permission to go at 10 a. m. May 29th and at twelve o'clock we boarded our train for Pisa.
 Travel in Other Lands
 The traiLs are quite different from those in the states. People here travel 1st, 2nd and 3rd class, a separate car for each class. The cars or coaches are di- vided into small compartments, seating eight persons, four of which have to ride backwards. The aisle is along the side of the car and each compartment contains two doors, by which passengers pass in or out of the car, with the e1cep- tions of the third class cars, which have doors only at the ends. However, we found the cars comfortable. and were

we found ourp pefves in place even more interesting than that we had just left, and at once began a systematic way sight seeing. First we passed around it's walks to view the paintings of fam ous artists of which there are so many, that without guide book and 6 thorough knowledge of the old Testament, one is at loss to know the scenes before them. In this Cathedral are numerous altars, the main one being at the head of this cross shaped church, and is truly grand Hundreds, or perhaps thousands of can- dies are mounted upon it, and as we stood gazing at 1t I almost felt religions. In the center of this building, from the dome" hangs massive bronze lantern of ofintricate design, the swaying of which gave Calico his first idea of the pendu- lum.
 Work of Antiquity
 Passing from the Cathedral we went to dome shaped structure called the Baptistry. This Baptistry was begun in 1153, but, according to inscriptions, was not completed until 1278, this also is entirely of marble. It is a beautiful structure, 100 feet in diameter, sur rounded by half columns below and a gallery of smaller, detached columns above, and covered with a conical dome 179 feet high. The interior of this structure rests on eight columns and four piers, above which there is a single trlforium. In the centre is a marble octagonal front and near it the famous hexaRonal pulpit, bourne by seven col umns. The reliefs on the pulpit bear re- igeous sculpturings of great beauty. After seeing these three great buildings, we went in search of postal cards which were soon found. We were very much surprised to find two other Americans also purchasing cards at this store and learned they were from Brooklyn, N. Y. We left Pisa in the evening return ing to Spezia in time to hear band con- cert and after walking around awhile, returned to our ship. Memorial day was celebrated by the usual salute of 21 minute guns at noon and colors at half mast. The Italian flag ship did likewise in our honor. This was a holiday for us and all who wished went ashore early in the morning, but for us electricians the telephone system claimed to much of our time, it being out of order. In the evening we were given a pleasant surprise in shape of a serenade, small boat containing several musicians, rowed around our ship, playing delightful Italian airs for nearly two hours. Now we are leaving for Naples, and are sorry to go, for our having better time there than here, is quite out of the question.

THE CUP OF SAL NATION

A goodlys sized audience greeted the Rev. H. B. Chown of Falls Village, Sun day last, when he came to conduct the sacramental services at the Amenia Union church. It was an interesting sermon that the people heard, and had several telling points worthy of preser- vation. Taking his text from the 18th verse of the 116 Psalm, the preacher said ill part:
 "We see here the resolution of the Psalmist: I will take the cup of salva- tion.' Having passed through sore troubles and sorrows from which God has graciously delivered him, he professes his love for God, and his duties towards Him.

Strawberries are ripe Tn the fields and quite a number of quarts have been picked the past week by the berry en- thusiasts. In some sections they are said to grow in abundance and are of of a most delicious flavor. The children especially are taking delight in gather ing them, nor are the older ones far behind when it comes to a day afield, and quite a number of good pails of the tempting fruit have been gathered in the pastures and meadows.

Gracious Deliversnce


 "We too have been graciously deliv- cred from many troubles and sustained in many sorrows, therefore let us take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord The Cup of Saliva ton includes all that God has done or will do in the work of saving man from sin and restoring him to the image of his Creator. We note three phases of the work.
 l. "The Redemptive work of Christ. The tremendous need of this work is found in man; he had gone far from righteousness. It Is also found in the Justice of God; He had been outraged and insulted. Man was neither able nor willing to pay the penalty of traugres- sion. Christ was able and willing; He paid the price.
 ,. Forgiveness. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin, but the blood has been shed, Divine Justice has been satisfied and now God graci- ously forgives all who with penitence and true faith turn to him. The for giveness of God is complete, and 'our sins are remembered against us no more for ever.'
 Contrast this with the forgiveness, so called, of men who, under provoca- tion, will fling in our face the transgres- sions they have professed to forgive Let us remember how freely and fully God rorgives then perhaps the forgive us, as we forgive others of the Lord s prayer, may have new meaning for us
 The Price of Redemption
 ."Sanctihcation of the spiritual life We are not only saved from sin, but to a life of grandeur, of effective service, of holiness. Christ loved theI church, gave himself for it that he might redeem it and sanctify 1t, so that in the ages to come. He might produce a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle.
 ''The rite we administer to-day is memorial of Christ's redemptive work A pledge of Divine sympathy. There Is no mystery here, as some ecclesiastics would have us think, mystifying the common people with stilted but illogical arguments concerning transubstantia- tion- These tokens of Bread and Wine are but the emblems of His broken body and split blood which, in remembrance of Him. we receive, and by faith in our hearts feed upon the Bread of life. This is the Lords table, if you are Gods child you are welcome here.

Expert Angling.

One of our summer guest, went fish ing day ortwo ago and had very good luck on the trout brooks, returning with some twenty or more trout of good size. He says that the fishing is not as good as he had expected, due doubtless to the fact that the streams are fished so much and that the best of the trout are caught out before they have the chance to reach their full size.

The experiment of oiling the roads as means of settling the dust, is being very effeotually tried out here. For many years the roads have been so dusty during the summer months as to make it very uncomfortable and it is believed that at last the right method has been adopted to effectively lay this dust. The plan has been tried in various other parts of the country with apparent success, if it works as we'll at Sharon as it is said to have done else where, we shall be saved a very great annoyance and will, at last have solved the dust problem
