phenomena Is often a tidal wave. and
this is sometimes of enormous height

the sea rose to height of 80 feet above

Some Inconveniences May Result
1T is possible and even probable that

PUT CHURCHES IN REACH OF POOR
Able Address to Women Who Are to
Make Ministering to Those in Poorer
Parts of City the Work of Their Lives
Advice to Church People.

| Before a congregation which COM
pletely filled the Metropolitan Metho-
dist Episcopal Church yesterday morn
ing, Rev Frank NJ. Bristol. D. D.. pastor
of the church, delivered the bacca-
laureate sermon TO the score or more
of young women who comprise the grad
uating class OF the National Training
School fer Deaconesscs and Nurses.
DR.. Bristol preached stirring ser
mon, in the course OF which he declared
that unless the Christian religion were
taken into tho slu.ns Of the great cities,
the municipal governments. and later
the national body polite, would be un-
dcrmired and subsequently overthrow
by the growing socialistic and anar-
chistic tendencies among the poor
He paid glowing tribute to the in
fluence for the extension of the Chris
tian religion which had been exerted by
noble and self-saeriicing women down
through the centuries since the birth
of Christ. In his Judgment, the daa-
coness movement is one of the grandest
works ever inaugurated by the Christian
people of the present times.
Or. Bristol said in part:
Church for Workingme1.
Eve hear the complaint being made
all around US that the church OF God
that the gospel of Jesus Christ is not
for the poor, but an exclusive possession
of the rich. Why is this so? Why is it
that such complaints are being made by
those about us when every year the
Christian people or church going public
give millions of dollars for the exten-
sion OF the gospel in foreign lands?
You say. Well, these people at home
can go to church whenever they want
to; they have the opportunity; they
have welcome to worship with us.
But have they? Has the poor man.
whose clothing. even the best he has.
is shabby and patched. sincere well
come to Worship among the wealthy and
aristocratic churchgoers? Is he made
to feel that his presence there is de-
sired? Is he not perceptibly frozen out
ana made TO feel that he is somehow
out of place? But even If these things
are not the case. are the churches To-
Gated where the poor man can reach
them? The man from the slums. If he
would enter the house OF God must
spend 10 or 90 cents of his tiny wages
in car fare in order to traycrsl the
great distance from his home to the bet
ter parts OF the city where the churches
are TO be found. And If he desires to
bring his children up in paths OF Chris
tianity. and take them TO a church or
Sunday school, he must spend his en-
tire weeks wages for car fare to get
them there.
Where to Build a Church.

are few in both Nicaragua and Costa

The Nicaraguan Volcanoes.
As to the Nicaraguan volcanoes. he
states that there is single chain par

about twenty miles from it,

Ometepe is active. having been in erup-
tion In 1883. The proximity Of these
two cones to the canal makes them OBJ
much nearer to II than any others.
The next volcano OF this chain is Nom
bacho. at the foot OF which the large
town of Granada is situated. While
there has been no eruption from it dur
ing the history Of Nicaragua. there are
some lava streams cmanating from il
which bear the look OF regency. and can
not be more than a very few centuries
old 1t is also one of the principal
sources Of earthquakes and tremors. Its
distance from the canal locks near Brito
is. believe, little over forty miles.
Eruption Near Masaya.
About a century ago a considerable
eruption occurred near Masaya. some
sixteen or eighteen miles beyond Gra-
NADIA. From the meager accounts pre-
served 1t would seem to have been at

most forcible of the present century.

| small or moderate energy, causing no
serious and widely spread disasters. The
elections are largely in the form OF
scoria and ashes, though lava streams
sometimes flow"
Local in Destructive Effects.
As to earthquakes. Major Dutton says
in part:
I'm general 1t may be said that the
be very local in their destructive effects
and the shocks become harmless quivers
or tremors within twenty or thirty miles
OF their origin.
The portion of the canal between
Ochoa and the Caribbean is, in my opin-
ion. too remote from the localities in
Nhich the Costa Rican earthquakes orig
mate TO be liable to any serious injury
from them. At long intervals Of time.
averaging perhaps from five to ten years,
some exceptionally powerful shock may
transmit waves as far as the canal with
sufficient intensity to produce marked
vibrations and tremors: but that they
viii have force enough to materially
iniure the structure of the canal is. in my
special precautions against them.
Somewhat Larger Risk.
with respect to the portion of the
canal leading from Lake Nicaragua to
the Pacific, there seems to be some
what larger risk but not large enough
to cause any serious apprehension. The
volcano Ometepe in the lake is only
about thirteen miles from the outlet
OF the canal. and about twcnty-one
miles from the locks. It's eruption In
1883 was a somewhat forcible one. at

feed to produce some cracks In the
houses and area walls in Rivas | saw
several of these cracks. though they
were not common and in no case en-
dangcred the structures. The canal
locks. II they had been in existence at
the time would probably not have been
injured. IL built on rock foundations or
upon very solid earth not liable to slip
or settle under series OF such trem-
ors."
Center of Earthquake Activity.
He states that the volcano Mombacho
in Costa Rica is center Of decided
earthquake activity, but that it is too
remote from the canal to be n source of
any apprehension.
Major Dutton concludes this portion
OF his report as follows:
Briefly, then, my opinion is that the
risk of serious injury by earthquakes
to the constructions proposed for the
Pacific section of the canal is so small
that 1t ought to be neglected alike by
the Maritime Canal Company, the Con-
struction Company. and by contemplat-
ing investors: also. that the risks to
the Atlantic section are still smaller
than those to the Pacific section
