Teach us the strength that cannot seek, (p. 200)
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man's strength to comfort man's distress.
Teach us Delight in simple things,
And Mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And Love to all men 'neath the sun!
Land of our Birth, our Faith our Pride,
For whose dear sake our fathers died;
O Motherland, we pledge to thee,
Head, heart, and hand through the years to be!

The Story of Germany.
Putnam. 1.50
The present volume traces the life of this powerful nation from
the time when imperial Rome was baffled by her valiant Hermann
down to the hour when France fell before her, and the idea of
Empire ... became, under William the First, a power making for
peace and strength.... The story of such a people as the Germans
could not fail to possess intense interest for anyone; but for us
of another branch of the Teutonic family, it has the additional
charm that it is the history of our blood-relations.
ARTHUR GILMAN.
