Masonic.

The Masonic turnout to church last
Sunday was larger than usual, and
altogether it was an occasion of great
interest. The church methodist
EpiscopaD was most beautifully dec
GRATED. The altarrailing and front of
the choir recess, festooned with green
brier and rhododendron, made a
uniquely pretty background for the
floral beauties below. The organ was
also an object of artistic adjournment
Boquets of lilies and roses glaced the
pulpit platform, while below the desk
shone large leopard geranium.
The exercises began with the anthem,
There Arose Great Storm" Miss
Mollie Armstrong singing the solo.
Next came the opening hymn-that
lyric of surprising beauty
How firm a foundation, We saints of the Lord
Followed after prayer by Rev. T.
Marshall West in sermon founded
upon l Corinthians xiii, Is:
And now abideth faith, hope, charity
these three but the greatest of these is
charity.
The discourse was scholarly, ornate,
eloquent. 1t followed the three car
dinal virtues in diction chaste, fluent,
impressive, all the way from simple
definitions to stirring climaxes. With
out manuscript or note, the preachers
ready thought, elegant expression and
graceful gesture heightened the tower
ing beauty of his topics. In brief, it
was an ideal sermon.
The concluding hymn
More love to Thee o Christ,
Was sung, the usual services fol-
lowed and the congregation dismissed.
The music, routine and special,
under the leadership of Richard Harris,
accompanied by Miss Mary B. Keller,
was of more than usual excellence.
Mrs. Lavinia Kalbfus, Mrs. Thomas
Humbe1ston, Mrs. Henry Gerken, Mrs.
l.. M. Gorsuch, Mrs. w. E. G. Hitch
ms and Misses Minnie and Anna
Hitchins contributed generously to the
decoration of the church.
The members of the Ancient Order
were pleasurably surprised at the
elaborate and elegant provision made
for the delectation of the Masonic eye,
ear, head and heart.

Crew on the Pacific.

Crew on the Pacific.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa: A narrowing
story Of shipwrcck and suffering, follow
ing the burning of the British ship Flora
p. Stafford at sea June 8, while en- route
from New Castle, n. S. W., to Manila
with coal, due to spontaneous combustion,
is told by Capt. Oscar w. Smith, her
master, who has just arrived here from
Singapore, via. London, where he was in
the hospital for some time after his adpen-
lures IN an open boat for thirty-Six days,
naked and with scarcely enough food to
keep life in his body. He and his men not
only suffered the pangs of hunger and
thirst, but their naked bodies were burned
raw under the powerful rays of the tropical
sun. Exhausted after twenty -0ne days
sailing in diminutive boat, in company
with five Of his seamen, Capt Smith sighted
the almost desolate island of Waygion,
which lies about ninety miles across from
Papau, and here made landing to secure
some fresh water and food. Approaching
the island, their boat was surrounded by
band of savages in canoes. These natives
were Of immense stature and exceedingly
fierce and warlike. Ia return for some
burnt meat and bread, the captain and his
men were obliged to hand over all their
clothing, and then, fearing the savages
meant to steal their boat, the castaways
made sail and soon left them behind.
After much hardship and suffering from
lack of water they were finally picked up
and landed at Singapore
