its full daily programme for the first time to-day.
The city college and church conference met $50

text "Sn is Lawlessness.' The evening service in
the Auditorium was addressed by the Rev. DR..
Adams, OF Brooklyn Last Saturday evening John
r. Mott spoke from the text. BE Sure Your Sin
VIII Find You Out" He said in substance:
Many sins found out. Every day the
has its record each year of exposed wrongs. Men
and women cannot conceal their sins much as
they think. Nothing is hid from God We are ell
naked before the eyes of Him with whom we have
to do. Neither always hide our sins from
the eyes of our fellows
Though your sin may not be found out. it will
by day. For instance. the lack of prayer leads to
giving way to temper ana the wrong use of the
what he does possess He may have the repu-
tatIon OF being spiritual he may make religious ap

crippled for the rest of their lives. Sin is fact.
II can be met only by fact. Christs death on the
cross and His living resurrection power God IS
great facts meet sin We may under
stand why. may not understand how, but We
need not doubt the reality the fact of the neceS-
sary connection between the life and death Of
Christ and emancipation from the guilt and power
of sin. Though the process be mysterious. like all
nightly certain and sufficient. the voice Of hu-

CAPTAIN GRIFFIN CENSURED.
NO ONE HELD BY THE CORONER'S JURY
FOR THE NORTHFIELD DISASTER.

The coroners inquest yesterday into the drowning
OF hve persons on the ferryboat Northield of the
Staten Island Line. which into by the
ferryboat Mauch Chunk, belonging to the Central
Railroad of New-Jersey. June IA. and sunk in
the East River, resulted in the discharge of the
captains of both boats. The verdict of the coroners
jury
We the jury find that the deceased came TO their
deaths by asphy lion. caused by drowning. We
eXonerate entirely Captain Abraham Johnson OF
censure Captain Sylvester C. Griffin of the ferry
boat boat Mauch Chunk. on the ground that the North
legislation be enacted regulating the speed ferry
during strong tides.
Those drowned were:
| BARTI.ETT. General Charles G.
San choes AoGE R atsD Island
WRGH M sTEDGp fShon ss.en ss1ep 1sn Island
The testimony given was conflicting Some of
the witnesses thought that the condition of wind
and tide such that the collision could have
been avoided others thought that the wind and tide
| made 1t impossible to prevent collision. The sig
| nails given were another source of conflict. Cap
tain Johnson, of the Northfeld. was one of those
| who testified that the two whistles he had given
signifying that the Mortified would pass to the
| left of the Mauch Chunk had been answered with
two whistles by the Mauch Chunk. Captain Griffin,
| of the Mauch Chunk. denied this. and said that
| the two whistles of the Northheld had not been
| answered at all. The only signal given by the
| Mauch Chunk had been the alarm signal.
| Thomas a. johnson, a wheelman the Mauch
| Chunk testified that the Northheld kept on her
course despite the fact that her captain could see
| the Mauch Chunk. and William A. Fisk a quarter
/ master on the Northfeld said that the Mauch
| Chunk answered the Northfelds signal of two
| whistles and should have complied with it, Fisk
said that if the Mauch Chunk had not backed away
| from the Mortified after the collision all the pas
| sengers the Northfeld could have been trans
| ferred to the Mauch Chunk and not life lost.
| Captain Johnson of the Northfield then took the
stand, and claimed that he had had the right OF
| way because the Mauch Chunk has answered his
| two whistles with the signal Captain Griffin
| or the Mauch Chunk, was the last witness. He
| laid the blame the Northfield for continuing
| to of her slip and paying no attention
to the Mauch Chunks danger signal

relief work for widows and girls. which our fund

such help might be a serious disadvantage under
the altered conditions of the country, 1t would
tend to pauperize the people instead of stimulating
them exertion. He has however. kept a fund
In hand for helping necessitous cases.

THE HOME LIGHT.

The light of homes a wondrous light
So tender is its shining.
So soft il follows through the night,
Our weary road outlining.
Though lonely and for years roam
Far from the ones who love us,
Yet ever shines the light of home,
Like Gods grace spread above us.
The light of homes a wondrous light.
Through life 1t follows seeming,
Yet when with age the hair is white,
Clear in the front 'tis cleaning.
1t shines from where our loved ones are.
Oh this is loves divining.
And through the gates of heaven ajar
At last we see II shining,
