RoWBoAT BEAT STEAMER.

Jeo Black burn outdonc by a Strange Graft
in Rescuing Expedition.
Excitement ran high at the river front last
evening when. asIhe bells in the harbor were
striking o'clock. the cry of man over
board" sounded out across the muddy
waters and with the dispatch of lightning
was communicated to harbor police head
quarters.
The reason for the nervous tension was
that q sailboat, manned by three youths,
after wavering and making frantic efforts
TO ge< up int o the wind, aud with her main
sheet Iashed so that it would not spill, had
gone over. Wild rumor ran that the boys
had gone down with the boat but the craft
not being loaded had merely rolled bottom
upwards and the boys had clung to her aud
climbed upon her dripping bottom.
AT the first alarm every man at the harbor
office came to quarters and Commodore Bob
Sutton piped away the Estelle, with Cox
swain j. j. Perry and john Stafford and
Charles Tun. Up TO the scene Of disaster
tlsey pulled with a boiling stroke.
BY this time the harbor cruiser Joe Black
burn was busy getting under way. Pilot.

one bell, stop her; tHo bells, shove her up;
and then the merry jingle bell sang its
song OF haste as it changed out IAN
steam"
The Estelle, the first to get away, was
being overhauled, and the Blackburn was
straining every timber, blowing clouds OF
jet-hUed smoke skyward, and the hand
of her steam indicator was Quivering at
the registry limit.
The unfortunate boys, perched on the
keef OF the capsized boat Were Gestieu-
lating with their hats and people along
the upper docks and the Long Bridge were
yelling Save them''
A small boat well manned pulled off from
the hard by pier and steered dead on for the
boys. She was close upon them, but the
little blackburn never let up. or held her
breath. She was dumping in the coal and
Engineer Davis had tied up the safety valve
SO that she could not blow off.
The EstelIe waslaboring in he back water
and tossing in her swells.
The strange little boat that shot off
from the dock was pulling stroke that
would have pumped the wind out OF a
Yale crew and she was getting there
with all oars.
1t was race between the Blackburn
and the stranger, with the chances in
favor of the latter, because of the distance
which handicapped the former.
The little stranger pulled alongside
the boys and took them Off; and the Black
burn hauled round and after righting
the sailer took her in tow to Ritter's boat
house where she moors.
The boys did not give their names.

He Would Reverse the Present
Method of Preaching.
MORE WORK AMONG THE LONLY
Bishop Paret Delivers Stirring Sermon at
Epipl my Church He Declares Christians
Nowadays Build Their Houses of Worship
in the Fashionable Quarters of the City.
Churches Lacking Where Most Needed.

Bishop Paret preached a remarkable ser
mon yesterday morning at the Church of
the Epiphany, OF which the Rev Dr. Ran
doIph McKim is pastor.
The leading thought was that if Christ
Were to come TO earth now He would re-
verse the method of preaching the Gospel
to the people. The bishops sermon in part
was a dignified and temperate, yet keen
rebuke to those churches which conceive
their Christian duty to be done when they
have increased themselves and their rep
utation.
The text was Mark. SO V: LET us go
into the next town that / may preach the
Gospel there also. for therefore came /
forth" From these words of the Savior
and from passages III ST. Matthew and st.
Luke, the bishop taught that Christ had
made vIsitations into all the places OF
what we cali the Holy Land. He had little
more than three years OF a ministry, but
each day OF that time was utilized
LABORED AMONG THE LOwLY
While He visited the greater cities, He
paid especial attention to the villages.
He worked not chiefly among the rich and
intelligent of the cities, but among tie
villagers and country people The Bishop
here drew a contrast between the Sayior's
method and the classes he taught, and that
of the churches to day.
We are preaching. he said, to the in
telligent, the influential, the respectable.
We preach perhaps not To save mems souls
so much us Ia make our churches strong.
You will not find churches in the sections OF
any great city that need thcm most.
You build them where they are easy of
access aud where they can be most easily
supported. They stand among the scenes
where the better people are.
The Bishop doubled not that Jesus Christ
would reverse all Tins for lie laid stress
and emphasis on The value ofthc missionary
spirit OF u church, not on what il does Tor
others.
NEED OF WORK IN THE SUBURBS.
Bishop PaTet then spoke of the great
need OF work ID the suburbs of Washington
and I'D cIoser precincts. He had noted
with pleasure tile successful efforts of
Epiphany Church to extend its usefulness
he touched upon the great difficulty and
hardship of reaching the people I'D the
country parishes where the churches were
far apart and the congregations widely
scattered.
IN this connection the bishop discussed
The endowment plan and the voluntary plan
or support OF churches and while not COM
mittine hiInself TO either plan. said that
In England the history OF the endowment
plan showed that the poor were taken
care OF in the parishes just as Well as the
rich by that method.
The closing part OF the sermon was an
appeal for support of the missions of the
church. The congregation was large.

Rev. DR.. Luccock. pastor of the Metro

ton of his congregation. the contemplated

caSion to elaborate the plan agreed upon.

cessity. from a Christian standpoint. OF
making the edifIce and its Surroundings
attractive and inviting.
This congregation is asked to give he
said, lin addition to its customary con-
tnDutions in aid of the gospel, an average
OF about 81 800 for about five years. If
we should carry burden proportiOnatc
10 that borne by our predecessors, we should
have to multiply the amount several times.
The property, costing about $50 900,
was turned over to us free of debit" be
added. ''and If those who gave it TO US
as a legacy could do so much in their
weakness, the present congregation in its
strength should keep il in repair
The discourse was an eloquent preSenta-
ton or the duty owed by the church TO the
temple OF God, and at the close a pledge
was passed to each member of the cougre-
CATION which expresses the subscribers
agreement To pay a stipulated sum per
mouth for the period or five years. as
a contribution to the expense fund for i'm
proving the property and paying the exist
ing Indebtedness, which last aggregates
about S. 300.
The improvements in view consist of
repainting, redecoratiDg, repairs to side
walks and the enlargement of the seating
capacity by the addition OF a gallery.
The entire expense TO be incurred will
probably amount TO 81 800, which, ad-
ded to the indebtedness, will require an
aggregate subscription Of Sc 900.
1t is believed the entire amount will be
raised without special effort.

Ambulance Corps Defended.

Editor Times: The Saturday afternoons
issue of local paper mentioned the road
march made by the, District of Columbia Ma
tional Guard Ambulance Corpslast Saturday
night, and spoke very discreditably of our
organization. The inference to be drawn
from the articlewas that the men composing
the detail in charge of the ambulance were
intoxicated, which is hase libel. 1t de-
scribed an imaginary piece of wild driving
up and down Pennsylvania avenue and
Seventh street, which had no foundation
in fact.
The item suggested the possibility of
some dishonorable discharges as q sequel
to what it termed ''disgraceful conduct" ?"
and in its entirety threw slur on the name
and reputation of the Hospital Corps that
il has never merited.
We are members OF the Ambulance Corps,
as gentlemen. feel that it is a solemn duty
to declare the falseness of the story, and
ask you as friend OF the District Guard
to give US the opportunity OF vindieating
the honor OF our company. Very respect
fully, John Krieg, acting hospital steward
in command: L. =. Wells, F. j. Sylvester,

others. The music consisted or Cougrega-

Mr. Canfield'S address was mainly de-
voted TO history OF the order and an ex-
position OF It's objects He said that Good
TGmp.arism embraced more than three
fOurthS OF million members, or more
than ali other prOhihitOry orders com
biued, exclusive OF the churches Its

languages ud its principles have ad-
herentS in every civilized nation on the
globe. The purpose Of the order is To
achieve the prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic, but it is 10 20 sense a political or
ganiZatiUu.
Grand Counsellor Maupiu spoke particu-
largely upon the prohibition feature of the
Good Templar platform, stating that
restrictive legislation began 10 England in
1875, and had been repeated in various
forms throughout the world since, but had
proved 10 be a failure. He argued, there
fore, for prohibition, and showed from
statistics that in nineteen States at popular
elections a majority of but 500 .00O votes
had been recorded against the proposition
This was in the face Of the fact that the
churches Of the country have enrolled as
members more tran half OF the votes cast
al tae last national election. He cOntended
tnat with organization there could be no
doubt of the result.
Referring TO District affairs he said that
four of the leading Protestant churches
represented here have deciaredthat HOsalOou
keeper could sit 10 their pe VS. as a cOnmnni-
cant, and that the Catholic sentiment tended
in the same direction. The fact remains
that no barroOIn license be granted without
the direct consent ofthe people, aud he asked
