There has just been completed at Blackwall a second steam lifeboat, propelled by turbines, somewhat larger than the first, which proved so satisfactory that the National Lifeboat Institution ordered another. The boats carry 40 passengers in addition to coal and half a ton of fresh water. The pumps used for propelling the vessel are worked by engines of 200 horse power.
If the poor and humble toil that we may have food, must not the high and glorious toil for him in return, that be may have light, have guidance, immortality ? There are some people who cannot be constant to anything. They are like the moon. You could not measure the moon for a suit of clothes with the hope of ever fitting it; and so you cannot tell what these men are or where they are; for they are ever on the change.
