THERE Is DANGER IN DELAY.
Rev. DIR. HamIin Says, Seek saliva.
ton Now.

Rev Teunis Hamlin, pastor of the
Church of the Covenant. preached an in
structive sermon yesterday morning on
the necessity of making Immediate prepa-
ration for the life hereafter.
During the prayer which preceded the
sermon having no doubt in mind the
great crisis which threatened the country,
DR.. Hamlin invoked the Lord, the Ruler
of all nations, to bestow his blessings
upon President Mckinley, the vice-Pres-
ident and the members of Congress-. and
direct them in wisdom, patriotism and
peace He prayed that there should be
no partisanship nor sectionalism. but that
the will of the Lord be done, and that
whatever may come, the cause of free
dom, humanity and civilization would be
advanced
DR.. Hamlin said that it is probably not
because of any doubt of salvation which
induces people to delay in seeking 1T, but,
rather because they do not seriously con-
slider the necessity of doing so. Refer
ring to practical results he said no doubt
all have noticed changes of speech and
actions of people. This was the result
of their allegiance to Jesus Christ, which
always causes the revolutionizing of
character and manner of living.
DR. Hamlin then told of persons who
had been saved from the lowest depths
of sin and who had ever afterward re-
mafned firm in their faith of the power
of God to save. He made a strong APP
peal to his hearers to delay no longer but
to decide at once in favor of salvation.
There are a great many" he said,
who have decided to seek salvation
some time but do not do so now simply
because they do not think the matter is
of sufficient Importance" To these he
would say is not delay dangerous? 1t
may not be fatal, but there is danger IN
every moment of delay. Many live on. be-
lieving with the physician that $50 long
as there is life there is hope" That
is true, but who knows when the thread
of life may be snapped. Then it is that
we realize that we have let all our
opportunities pass. There is no time
fixed for the severance of soul and body,
and we go down the stream of life un-
mindful of the dangerous rapids which
may dash us unprepared into eternity.

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
DIR. Swift's Interesting Statement
Concerning Its Work.

Concerning It's Work.
DR.. Judson Swift of New York. secre-
tary of the American Tract Society,
made a statement to the congregation Of
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church last night about the work of the
society and the need of arOusing public
interest in the distribution of the gospel
among the millions of non-chureh-goers
in this country.
Dr. Swift said that the society was
formed in 1925 for the object of putting
the gospel message upon printed rages
and distributing the word among the
spiritually destitute and up to the present
time had issued So, 600 900 volumes. 40 000,
900 tracts and pamphlets. and 251 900
periodicals. The gospel has been printed
by them in 251 languages and dialects
and distributed by the society, who have
made 1900. 900 visits to families.
DR.. Swift dwell upon the work done by
the society among the emigrants to the
United States, the non-English speaking
foreigners who do not bring their minis
ters TO this country. and who have to
depend almost entirely upon the volumes
of the society for their scriptural teach
ings. This class included the Norwegians
and Swedes in the northwest, where the
population is scattered and where. if the
foreigners desired TO attend church. they
could not understand the words of the
minister.
The society is purely interdenomina-
tional and asks the help. sympathy.
prayers and means of Gods workers
The need of this country today which
will compare with any other need, said
Dr. Swift is to take the gospel to those
40. 600 900 of people in the United States
who are outside of the church
At the conclusion of DIR. Swift's re-
marks. Dr. Radcliffe announced that the
offering would be for the tract society
and liberal contribution was made by

Stuck Fast on a Reef.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Dec. Is While
the United States cruiser Cincinnati was
leaving port about sunset yesterday, she
ran full speed upon a rock clearly de-
fined in the charts, but not buoyed.
Last September General Wood consider
ing that the absence of buoy there
might lead to some accident, anchored
a small one, the first ever placed there,
but the Bessie, on entering the harbor
one night, carried it away. and since
then there has been no buoy to mark the
location of the rock.
The Cincinnati probably is not seri-
ously damaged, as she is not making
water. For the last "a hours the govern
ment collier Southery and the Mayhower
have been engaged in an effort to pull
her off. Thus far they have been un-
successful, but it is hoped they will have
better luck tonight at high tide. The
principal risk now is tearing hole in
the cruisers bottom. while she is pull
ing off.

Six months ago there were 800 in this

government withdrew its grant, and al
though money was raised for the insti-
