able bodies to have placed in their

streets and highways in said Jersey CITY.
The reasons for such action are too
apparent to detail.
The almost universal absence of these
signs at present excites both from visi-
tors ITO and residents of this city the
most unfavorable comment.
IF It is thought that the finances of
the city VIII not warrant the putting
up of these signs all ait once, we re-
quest that they be put up in large INSTALL

We welcome our new City Hall and

0oLIMA SURVIVORS.
Two Women and a Man Found

Two Women u a Man Found
South of Mazntian.
SAN FRANCISCO, June II, 1s95.-A
special to a morning paper from Maza-
tan says the latest adv.ces from Man
zaniIlo are to the effect that two women
and one man, survivors of the wrecked
steamship Colima. have been found
about ninety miles south of that port.
Their names are not known yet. The
rescuing party left Manzanilo several
days ago to bring them over the noun
tains on horseback. Ten days Will be
necessary to make the trip there and
back. They should return during the
coming week. The authorities are send
ing out expeditions wherever they hear
of survivors. but have found nobody as
yet.

crew of the Sydney give no new details
as regards the wreck.
No bodies nave come ashore nor even
been seen floating.
The Mexican Government and espe-
cially the Governors of Santa Cruz and
the State of Colima have done every
thing possible to find the bodies n
rescue survivors. The coast has been
patrolled for miles and boats have
ccruised in the vicinity of the wreck,
finding nothing but wreckage. The fact
that the steamer went down IN nearly
four thousand feet of water leaves little
hope of any of the drowned ever coming
to the surface.

a grave question, which each must
answer fo- himself. MY private opinion
is that the general establishment Of the
Saturday half holiday would do more to
preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath
than any other agency
If, as some say, Sunday Is the only
day they have for wheeling, then we
must give them a portion of Saturday.
Thus they would have more time and IN
.el.nation to rest and worship on Sunday.
This Is the logic. of the situation, and
the only practical solution of the ques-
ton. / wish the League of American
Wheelmen would advocate in a body
the Saturday half holiday, and agitate
IN its behalf as they have done for
good roads. On this common ground
clergymen and wheellnen could cooper
ate. There would be less grind and toll
and more time for amusement and the
worship of the Almighty God"

the present pastora-e of sixteen months
sixty members have been added.
Among the charter m of this
church were Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip Mar
shall, parents of j. W. Marshall, the
d~iscoverer of gold in California. The
original structure of this church was
an old fashioned stone cast building.
Now it has a beautiful brownstone edf-

best known ministers of the Baptist de-
nomination rave been pastors of this
church. among them Rev. C. II. Wools-

phia.
At the close of the services several

MAKE CHRIST THEIR MODEL.
Archdeacon Jenyey,s Advice II tn
Stevens Graduates.

stevens
The Rev. Archdeacon Jenvey preached
the B-accalaureate sermon to the grad
uating class of Stevens Institute yester.
day morning in st. Paufs Episcopal
Church, Hoboken. Over one hundred stu
dents listened to the sermon.
The Archdeacon took as his text,
Col, l., q.
1.-THE Apostle st. Paul." he said, twas
writing to those whom he called Saints
We must not be misled, however. They
were those who were called to be saints
but who had not yet attained to it.
What could they take as their life mot
to, as their working theory of life? He
tells them in the text, Christ in them,
the hope of glory The value of hav.
ing Christ with all that He was, and
all that He taught, and all that He did,
as the inspiration and constraining pow.
er of their lives is seen in many ways.
1t is seen, as a first thing, in the place
He puts man. He calls him the child of
God. He has his origin, not where some
would place him in the wiIds of the
forest as the outcome of ape life, nor
not where others would place him in
the caves which fringe the seas, but in
Eden, where God placed him when He
made him. Man. as the child of God,
highest living. Being the child of God
he must i've as a child of God.
LAS a second thing, Jesus taught that
the highest and truest life was the life
which sought not the things which Were
for self, but which were for the good
of others. No one ever more truly lived
this than Jesus Himself. His life was
a constant act of self-Sacrifice. 1t was
for the good of others that He left heav,
en-, came to earth. healed the sick,
preached the Gospel. The working theo-
ry of the world is to advance and care
for self. But Jesus teaches that we
most ennoble self, when we forget self
and do our best for the good of others.
"As a third thing, Jesus taught that
when temptation to wrongdoing was met
always obey God rather than Satan or
man. These temptations often come,
and come in most seductive forms. They
come bidding us do some present wrong
for the purpose of making some future
gain. They come bidding US to change
hard stones of duty into the bread of
self gain and self indulgence. But when
they come like the Divine Master, we
should put Satan behind US and bravely,
and seek truth for the sake of truth"
The sermon concluded with an earnest
exhortation to the young men who were
graduating and going out to begin their
life's real work. to make Christ their
model, to make His Gospel their text
book, and to have as the constraining
power of their lives. Christ in them, the
hope of glory"
After the services the members of
and thanked DR.. Jenvey for the excel
lent sermon.
