writings. The poetry of David pro
foundly impresses his style. We find
the storv of the Prodigal Son shad
owed by 'The Two Gentlemen From
Verona'; 'King Lear' embodies the old
conception of Job; 'Lady Macbeth,
the Jezebel of old. He frequently refers
to Christ and to his atonement for
human sin. In fact, the sublimity of
the death upon the -cross seems to have
taken a powerful hold upon Shake
speare. Above all, he expounds human
nature. In Shylock we see avarice and
shrewdness, in Macbeth the results of
ambition, in King Richard, villainy;
in the daughters of King Lear, filial in
gratitude; in Othello, jealousy.
"Hamlet offers an awful exhibition of
opportunity lost. The first general
theological thought that we draw from
all of these plays is the thought of sin
and its conseqiiences. Remember that
Shakespeare lived in a free and easy
age, when priests were corrupt and
kings rotten. Into this pit of corrupr
tion he dipped his pen as a hook and
brought up awful revelations. He dis
closes, not as Dante, the hell of the fu-
expert artists, with sharp ture but the hell of the present; the
tools, visit the Silent Barber sin which lays its red hand on thrones
ana crauies, ana corrupts an u .luutucs.
Always he keeps before us the gospel
of transgressed law, and the law of
retribution which follows it.
"Shakespeare wras not a Puritan, but
he deals with the severest truth of Pur
itanism. Witness the destruction of
his great characters. Antony and Cleo
patra die horrible deaths. Shyloek

beth perished on the field of battle.
The uncertain crown of Richard is
crushed, and he becomes the victim of
his villinnv. Shakesneare has not
drawn the geography of the future, but
he has made plain the heaven and hell
of the human soul."
The speaker went on to trace the
noble conception of Divine mercy as
defined by Portia. While he drew no
parallel between the inspiration of the
great dramatist and the inspired writ
ers of the New Testament, he declared
that the Gospel of Shakespeake was

Prim- to the war some 370 sugar es
tates
an approximate output of 1,300,000
tons. It has been calculated tnat 110
sugar houses were destroyed during
the insurrection. Were these sugar
houses to be repaired each would re
quire from $30,000 to ? 50,000. All re
pairs necessary could not be made with
$50,000,000. After a stable government
is given to Cuba, able to secune life and
property, it can be seen that in this
branch of trade alone there are pros
pects for American Engineers, con
tractors and manufacturers. Many of
the bmildings used by the factories
that were destroyed -were built of tim
ber; these will no doubt be replaced
by iron and steel structures. Then, as
many of the large pieces of machinery
have not been affected by the destruc
tion of the buildings, the repairs will
consist in many instances of. minor
pieces and the connection of pipes, etc.
In the electrical line the field will be
quite extensive among the sugar es
tates, as in the major part of them all
electrical fittings were destroyed. Of
the 1,000 miles of track on the island,
the largest portion of it needs new rails
and other material, and the rolling
stock of all roads, according to the
best authorities, needs to be replen
ished with new equipment. There are
already thousands of tons of freight
being held for shipment after the first
of next month, and, with what is being
added, it seems as though there would
hardly be adequate shipping facilities
to handle it.

In 1SG0 traffic between the west and

traffic through the Suez canal was
