Harry n. Toolles, president of the

Rev. f. S. Durham spoke long and

Address By Bishop Joyce.
Bishop Joyce made quite an extended
address.
Why should we have church," he
asked. why an Epworth League? Why
have any of these Christian organiZa-
tons? Because the world is bad. If it
wasn't bad, there wouldn't be any
church. If there were no moral peril,
there wouldn't be any need of such
things.
Mote the conduct of men: see the
trend of affairs. There is a persistent,
constant downgrade movement of So
ciety. Eloquent preaching won't change
matters. l have heard lots of preach
ing which didn't even do my head any
good, let alone my heart Talk about
our education and our eloquence, Just
lift the covering and see the hearts
that ache beneath. Do we need a
church? If we don't check this down
ward movement of society, we will go
over the precipice. If the church is to
be merely social club, it will be but
a question of time when it will go all
TO pieces. Get the gospel into mems
souls to drive the devil out You can't
cure human nature by argument; you
can't stop the downward tendency by
outward application.
The world is bad; you must help it.
and that is why we need churches: it
is why we need all these organizations.
The nature of man must be made right
before it will appreciate Righteousness.

domestic InseIicifr.

According to statements made by Charles
H. Thierbach, in his answer to his wife's
allegations against him, in her suit for
maintenance, she made their home very
disagreeable for him and then left it
TO go and live with her parents
Thierbach states that the allegations
made by his wife are true only in part.
The facts are, he says. that Immediately
after their marriage they went to live with
the petitioners parents, VINO compelled
his wife to do the work of menial about
the house, To this he raised objection,
and a family quarrel ensued. Unfortunate
ly. he says, his wife took sides with her
parents, and her father, who came into
the house about this time in an intoxicated
condition, abused the respondent to such
an extent as to compel him to leave the
house. After this his wife, he says,
came to live with him in Anacostia, but
soon deserted him and his home, without
just cause or provocation.

AN EASTERN BRANCH TRAGEDY
Henry Thornberry Drowned while
Ba.hing in the Potomac,

Ba.hinG i'm the Potomac.
Henry Thornberry, twenty-five years OF
age, who lived at N Street southeast.
was drowned While bathing in the Eastern
Branch just OFF Poplar Point about $40
O'Clock yesterday morning. In company
with Charles Somers, eighteen years old,
the young man rented a beat at the foot
of New Jersey Avenue southeast about $3.50
o'clock They rowed a considerable dis
tance out into the river to point where
a sand scow was at anchor. Both men
undressed and dived into the water. Shot
ly afterward Thornberry called for hep
and sank. He arose again, and Sommers
went to his assistance, but because of the
danger to himself was forced to leave his
companion.
Later the harbormaster was notified, and
with the police boat Vigilant crew went to
work with graphing irons to recover the
body. The efforts of the crew were sue
cessful, and at about u o'clock the body
was taken from the water. II was then
sent TO the morgue and Coroner Carr no.
tified 1t is not probable that an inquest
viii be deemed necessary.
Thornberry was well and favorably
known in the ne.ghborhood in which he
lived. He had been employed as a wiper
at the New Jersey Avenue roundhouse Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. and was re-
garded as a good workman. A brother,
Charles Thornberry, is now in the employ
OF the railroad company as a conductor.
He lives at 1922 First Street southeast.
Young Somers. who was with Thorn
berry at the time of his death, made a
gallant effort to save his companion, but
the drowning man clutched the would-be
rescuer about the body and almost dragged
him to death In fact, Sommers sank
twice with Thornberry before he finally
freed himself from the mans grasp, and
returned 10 the scow exhausted. 1t is
thought that Thornberry stepped in one
OF the many holes in the river at the point
where he was drowned. The arrange
ments for Thornberry's funeral have not
been completed. but ii is probable that he
