spoke Of incidental events or lucky ac-
.cidents. He told OF on incident in
which he asked the engineer Of a GER
tain train II he feared God. He replied
that he had been on that run for
twenty-nine years. and never had an
accident. Every morning he knelt
down and prayed to God and he did not
fear for his safety he said.
There was experimenting Provi-
dence that guided the affairs of the
world. DR.. sooy. said he was OF the or
thodox school that believed in a super
Intending Father, who was the opersecr
OF every Incident Of every hour Of every
day. There was not an event, not an
object which His intelligence did not
discern.
The people ought to realize more
than they do the Divine doctrine of a
Divine peace. Human nature was I'M
reliable. as II leads n man to forget his
reliance and trust In God. Abraham's
conduct was foolish like that of every
Christian. We were foolish in thinking
our affairs secure. People In general
referred to God as being in heaven,
when He Is In fact everywhere. The
eye of the Lori was over the whole
earth, looking this way and that and
searching mems hearts everywhere.
The speaker said he was n firm be-
lever In the providence of God, not in
the nonsensical way In which It was
harped to-day. He believed God had
the care of all spirItuous and religious
life. He believed in the fatherhood Of
God: the Son OF God, who was Jesus
Christ. who was his father and every
body's father. Jesus, the Son of God.
brought US the grandest revelation ever
known-that God loved us.
Scientists told us that there were a
million species of living things. All
those organisms showed how great
were the possibilities of suffering. Ris-
Ing up the nerve centers multiply until
they come to the height of man. God
gathered these centers and produced q
mind that can be touched by word.
DR.. Sooy drew a picture of the little
child dancing down the pathway OF
lie until she became transformed to q
beautiful Madonna. How she finally
fondled the child with the'courage and
hope belonging to the faith Of moth
ier. All this sprung out OF Gods ma
ture, Just rs water gushed out Of the
stone when Moses smote It..
There was nothing we might not ask
of Him. There was not father; but
what II he heard his boy crying for
him would hasten to his presence with
an anxious heart. In the midst OF trials
and sufferfngs we could always look to
the Almighty Father. We need not a
vast mirror to see the whole vista OF
the sun, nor to catch the rays OF that
sun. We needed only small piece Of
glass to catch the rays of that sun.
Continuing the speaker said that no
mans heart was perfect before God. It
need only be turned so that the light
can shine. though 1t be full OF imper-
fections. II our love were weak and
human we turned toward Him. He will
manifest His strength toward US us If
We say our hearts are turned toward
Him.

THE Y. nj. c. A. RALLY
Sunday Afternoon Was Largely At

the Texas State Secretary at Gal

h tenoso - "A SURFING appear from
the Texas State Secretary at Gal
weston.
The rally day. seryice Mt the Y. NJ. c.
A. yesterday. was highly encouraging
to the young men Interested In the
work. The unusually hot and trying
summer had affected the attendance,
although the meetings were held with
out intermlsslon. Theetime had come
for the beginning Of more active and
stirring season and the raiiying service
was held.
The attendance was large and the
meeting interesting Orchestral music
accompanied the congregational sing
ing. which was very hearty. Rev. C.
H. Mallory sang solo and DR.. Cum
bingham gave an impressive talk. AZ
ter ryading q scripture lesson he said
he did not intend to preach sermon,
but he wanted to give heart to heart
talk in the most practical kind of a
way. His topic, he said, was What q
Young Man Needs" There are thou
sand things young man needs in life,
but he desired to speak Of five import
ant things.
He then proceeded to speak earnestly
and entertainlngly Of new Heart, the
Holy Spirit, Savior. Faith and Cour-
age. The need OF these five things was
impressed upon the young men and.
each was illustrated by incidents out Of
the doctors experience.
AT the close of the address the gener-
al secretary announced that he had re-
ceived an urgent appeal from the inter-
national committee Of the Young Mems
Christian Association for help for the
associations of southern Texas. He
read the following extract from n COM
munieatlon from the Texas state secre-
tary:
If had q perfect knowledge OF the
English language. I could not picture
to the association world the awfuiness
of, the terrible disaster which has be-
fallen southern Texas. At Galveston
the wife and child OF Secretary Pal
mer were drowned. and he was saved
as by miracle. The other employees OF
the association were saved, but lost all
they had In this world. The Galveston
building is badly damaged and will re-
quire from $1,000 to $4,000 TO put 1t in
anything like proper shape. The Hous-
ton association suffered great loss. The
associations Of that part of the state
are all more or less injured. and It will
be impossible for them to raise money
for long tina. For Gods sake, divert
some OF the liberal gifts going to Texas,
from all over this world, to the saving
of this work for young men,"
A collection was taken for this object
and the young men responded literally.

Senator Hanna's Letter

Knoxville, Tenn, August 26.-A special to the Journal and Tribune from Washing ton announces that Senator M A. Hanna has decided to take a hand in the Tennes- see Republican muddle and try to. straight en it out.
 In letter written to A. J. Tyler of this city, Senator Hanna says: k
 ''The national committee has deeded 1t advisable to say that we expect to sustain the organization which was recognized by the national committee at Philadelphia. We cannot see where any good can result from such an independent movement, and sincerely trust that no loyal Republican will tend his influence to the movement"
 The Brownlow organization was the re- cognized one for the most part at Phila- delphia. It is thought to be the chief in terest of Senator Hanna to get but one set of electors in the field

SERIOUS MISHAP
 ON ENSLEY LINE
Two Women Sprang from Mov-
 ing Car Near Thomas.
BOTH SUSTAINED INJURIES
Mrs. Morris of Bessemer Suffered a Broken Limb and Mrs. Garrett of Pratt City Badly Shaken Up
 Fuse Burned Out

A serious mishap occurred yesterday afternoon on the Ensiey division Of the Birmingham Railway and Electric Company near Thomas resulting in the injury of Mrs s. S. Morris of Bes- semer and Mrs. Garrett of Pratt City who were passengers on an incoming electric car
 The car on which the accident occurred was running along at the usual speed when suddenly the fuse burned out, filling the car with smoke and fumes. Great eonster- nation was created among the passengers and in the excitement Mrs. Norris and Mrs. Garrett rushed to the platform and sprang from the moving car, the speed of which had been considerably slackened from the lack of current connections. The two women struck the ground with consid- erahle force, both sustaining serious in- juries. Mrs. Morrs' left leg was broken and she was otherwise injured while Mrs. Garrett was considerably bruised about the arms and shoulders and badly shaken up.
 As soon as the car was stopped the con- ductor and other passengers went to the assistance of the two women who were brought to the city and given medical att tention.

A new bill will be presented at East Lake theatre tonight. The company by repeat ing the last presentation has had double time and ample opportunity to put up a finished production. The Circus Girf' is not a worn-out play but thoroughly modern having been on the Augustin Daly boards but few years ago. The title role will be portrayed by Margaret Kingere, who as yet has not appeared in a part of any sisnifi- canoe sufficient to show her ability to ad- vantage. Miss Kingore was last season lead ing woman in the Prodigal Father Com pany, but has signed for the same lire of work with the Edwards-Davis Company. Much will be expected of her in tonight's pretentious performance, as well as of the entire company. The role originally played by Roland Reed will be impersonated by Earl Adams.

THREE MEN RESCUED
Almost Perished from Thirst on Texas aa Desert

Fl Paso, Tex, August 26-A runner ar rived here this afternoon from the Cole Ranch, sixty miles north of Fl Paso, bring ing news that three men were found almost perished of thirst on the dessert beyond there yesterday afternoon. He says that one of the men is Prof. R. H. Cook, who re- cent1y came to this city from the east. The men left Alamogordo, N. M, on bicycles Thursday, bound for Fl Paso. They took the overland road through the Tularosa valley. On that route there is desert of sand seventy miles across. When the three men had gone about thirty miles their bi- cycles gave down and they had to walk. One of the men reached the Cole ranch, but had to be treated for several hours before he could speak. He then told of his com panions. Two men with jugs of water tied on saddles went back in search of them. One was found 15 miles away, exhausted and unconscious in the sand, and was brought to the ranch. The other, Prof. Cook, was found twenty miles further away, in spasms, and would probably have died in an hour had he not received wa ter. All the men are now in critical con- dition at the Cole ranch. The names of the other men were not learned.
