In this country. we are both shocked

which has .engulfed civilized Europe.
By only few men was the possibility
OF such = widespread and hideous as

even after It, occurred, felt as II it was
unbelievable. They felt that In what
it pleased enthusiasts to speak Of as

countries of Europe were ieaoihe

soft. lives carried on with comfort ano
luxuryf with appliances Tor ease anu
pleasure such as never pe1ore were
known. lives led in routine when 70
most people seemed part of the nat

could not be disturbed by shocks sucn
as the world knew of old. A fortnignt
later he'll yawned under the feet OF
these Woodworking or pieasure-seek-

safety and luxury. The men IN ner
stokehold and steerage were more
comfortable than the most luxurious
travellers of a century ago. The people
in her first class cabins enjoyed every
luxury that a luxurious city life couio
demand and were screened not only
from danger but from the least discom-
fort or annoyance. Suddenly. IN one
awful and shattering moment Deatn
smote the floating host so busy WITH
work and play. They were in that mo-

from life of effortless ease back INTO

baseness showed naked, and heroism
burned like a flame of light. = q
In the face of a calamity SO worid-

us all to keep our heads clear and to
read Alright the lessons taught us; for
We ourselves may suffer dreadful pen

The temptation always is only to half
learn such q lesson for half truth
is always simple. whereas the whole
truth is very. very difficult. Unfortu-
natelya half truth. IL applied. may turn
out to be the most dangerous type of
falsehood.
Now, our business here in America
in the face of this cataclysm is two
fold. In the first place it is impera-
tive that we shall take the steps neces-
sary in order by our own strength and
wisdom. to safeguard ourselves against
such disaster as has occurred in Eu-
