Over and over and over
These truths win weave in song,
That Gods great plan needs you and me,
That viii is greater than destiny
And that love moves the world along.
However mankind may question
It shall listen and hear my creed.
That God may ever be found within,
That the worship Of self is the only sin,
And the only devil is greed.
Over aud over and over.
These truths Will say and sing;
That love is mightier far than hate,
That mans own thought is mans own
fate
And that life is goodiy thing.

TWO SHIPwREC1IED SAILORS
From the Yacht Rose Reach New
York In an Open Boat

New York, October 11.-There land
Ign bridge early today two hungry and
tired shipwrecked men who said they
had been rowing in a small boat part
of yesterday and all last night.
Their story was hat they were Cap
tain w. Gates and Thomas Morse, Of
the sloop yacht Rose, belonging to Alb
den Keen. of Savannah, Ga. They
were taking the yacht from Savannah
to Newport, r. I. to lay up for the
winter, When yesterday morning about
10 o'clock some twelve miles east of
Sandy Hook the yacht was run into
by the fishing schooner Carrie and
Lottie, Of Gloucester, Mass, which
passed on without stopping to give any
assistance. The yacht had a big hole
knocked in her on the ~starboard side
near the mast and the water began
pouring into her.
The men worked at the pump for an
hour, but finding the water gaining on
them, and as the craft had five tons Of
lead ballast inside and ten tons on
deck, it became evident that she would
sink. An attempt was made to get out
the naptha launch, but it was slowed
away and dashed so tightly that they
gave it up. A small dingie was towing
astern and the men jumped into it.
They had no more than lone sc when
the yacht sank stern first.
The men saved nothing, aid, without
provisions or water, they rowed from
IL o'clock in the morning all the after
noon and last night. They gave as
their reason for coming to the city and
not stopping at some place On the way,
hat they had no money and thought
they could better get it here. They
said the yachts topmast showed above
the water.
Savannah, Ga, October 11.-Nothins
is known here of the sloop yacht Rose,
or of her reputed owner, Alden Keen.
Neither are Captain Gates n Thomas
Morse known. No yacht remotely an
swering the description of the Rose
has left here recently for Newport or
elsewhere. Shipping men say there is
some error respecting the sailing port,
if the men are telling a straight tale.
