But the U-boat has united the Eng

those who have did in agony through
German crimes have at least not died in
vain. this reflection cannot and ought
not to diminish the horror with which
we regard the frenzy of national ego
tism, the sophistical perverslon of all
decent moral feeling, which has de-
graded great empire to the point of
seeking to vindicate its claim to world
power by means of systematic course
of murderous piracy such as the world,
even in its darkest ages, never saw be-

Already 20 ships have been sent down
along our own coast. 1t brings the war
to our door and gives US vivid realiza-

what may the Lord reigns and this
thing can go no farther than He per-
mits. And out of it all good will come
for our poor bleeding, sin-wracked
world. The time is coming when u
boats will be no more. when wars shall
cease and when righteousness and peace
shall prevail in this earth and the true
and.onlv King shall reign as is His
right.
