MR.. REYNOLDS SERMON.
Preached at New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church

The pulpit of the New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church was occupied yesterday
morning by Rev. Charles L. Reynolds, pas
tor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church of
Des Moines, Iowa. DR.. Reynolds read the
second Psalm and drew some pointed les
sons from it, He said: To-day, as in the
day of the Psalmist, the people frequently
array themselves In opposition to God. 1t
has always been a mystery that mortal
men should become so conceted to re-
fuse to allow the sovereign Lord to reign
over them; strange that human beings
should set up their wisdom against omnis-
cience. The only way to account for this
attitude of men is that they cannot con-
ceive of Gods administering punishment
to the sinner"
But" concluded DR.. Reynolds, God Is
just, and He must chastise them that do
evil. He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh; the Lord shall have them In deri-
sion l believe that If the Psalmist were
living today he would be a cartoonist He
would draw a picture of the multitude COM
ing together and taking council against
the Lord and Savior. Then he would pic
ture of Deity on His throne, laughing at
the impotent rage of the throng-the rebel
lion of the creature against the Creator
a laughter that turns TO wrath. God is a
father, but he is just father, not fool
ish, doting one"

NOT TO FILL DEPRESSION.
Water Drained Oh by Engineer Do.
partmeut

The depression on Kenesaw avenue near
the intersection of 18th street northwest.
which was the subject of a radical recon-
mendation by the health department a week
ago, because 1t was feared that the rain
water collected in 1t would breed mos
quitoes and thus be a menace to the health
of the community. will not be filled in II
the wishes OF the engineering department
of the local government are observed En-
gineer Commissioner Biddie states that the
difficulty has been surmounted by draining
off the rain water through shallow ditch
Complaint was first made against this
rainy-weather pond on July "a Sanitary
Inspector WEIGH made an investigation and
reported that water of an average depth of
two feet covered space 100 feet long by
10 feet wide, part of which on public
property on the north side of Kenesaw ave-
nue. In his turn. Superintendent OF Roads
Morris Hacker explained that water stood
in the depression only after heavy rain:
that ii soon evaporated, SO that no stag
mated condition continued. and that the
hole was being rapidly filled by washings
from the ground above. He recommended
that the complaint be returned TO the health
department for file.
To this the health officer. DIR. Woodward.
replied, pointing out the danger incident to
affording a breeding place for mosquitoes.
and asking If the District could afford TO
allege the cost of labor incident TO filling IN
the hole as excuse for not abating the
nuisance Engineer Commissioner Bddle
disposed of the case by making the follow
ing recommendation. which reached the ex-
ecutive office today:
The recent heavy rains have so filled this
hole that II has been drained by the OPEN
ing of a shallow ditch and IT is believed
now to be free of water. There are no
funds in the engineer department which
can be used for filling up space of this kind
and II dangerous to health on account of
mosquitoes the pond would have to be filled
from the emergency fund-which has been
used for such purpose-or by the health de-
partment placing oil on the surface of the
pond. AS this hole-if II exists now-will
rapidly dry up. there being none or small
amount of water in 1t, this office does not
deem It necessary to take any further ac-
ton, especially as the pond is two squares
away from the nearest house"

DROWNED AT BEACH
TWO YOUNG COLoRED MEN LOOSE
THEIR LIVES.

Two young colored men, George Toy OF
200 Reeves court and Lewis York of 400
Franklin street, lost their lives in the tidal
basin In sight of the batifers yesterday
afternoon. Four other colored men, Ar
thur Hurd, Lewis Filburn. Samuel Fetch
er and Herbert Carter, were with them.
but were unable to prevent the accident.
1t was after O'Clock when the six men
reached the bathing beach and started out
in two boats after putting on their bathing
suits. They had anticipated a pleasant
outing for an hour or two and went some
distance from the place where there were
so many people in the water in order that
there could be no objection made to their
method of enjoying themselves They real
lied that by getting away from the con-
fines of the beach they could make as much
noise as they pleased, could play games in
the water and splash much they de-
sired without having anybody tell them not
TO be noisy.
One of them found amusement In Jump
ing from one boat to another. and it was
while he was so engaged that he went over
board In the deep water. Another man in
the party went to his assistance and in a
short time all six of them were overheard.
1t is believed that the first one to reach
the man who was unable to swim was
taken down by the latter and drowned.
The four remaining members of the party
swan about in the vicinity of the boats
and did what they could to rescue the two
men who We're at the bottom of the river.
Being unable to save them they summoned
assistance ana one of the life guards from
the bathing beach reached the scene as
soon as he could. He was accompanied by
swimmer from the beach and the two
men. recovered the bodies of the victims
In few minutes They were satisfied that
life was extinct. but thought no harm could
be done by working upon the bodies and
endeavor!ng TO restore life They resorted
to the Sylvester method of resuscitating
persons taken from the water. but the man
had been overheard so long that their eff
forts proved futile.
Had the men gone overheard nearer the
beach and the guards recovered them few
minutes sooner, their lives might have been
saved. When is certain that life was
extinct and that nothing could be done for
Them their bodies We're removed to the
morgue. Coroner hewitt made an inves-
LEGATION and gave certificates showing that
their deaths resulted from an accident,
Their bodies We're afterwards turned over
to their relatives to be prepared for burial

DIR. EASTON'S SERMON.
Clergyman Going Away for His Va
cation.

A large congregation heard the Rev. DR..
Easton of the Eastern Presbyterian Church
preach his last sermon yesterday morning
before leaving for his vacation. Before
commencing his sermon DIR. Easton extend
ed his thanks to the Ladies' Aid Society of
the church for their gift to him of 500 in
gold as an expression of their love and es-
TEEN. DR.. Easton in his sermon spoke on
Life, a Divine Plan" saying that there
unfelt hand on every human life
and that every human life is a plan of God.
Continuing the minister said mo man
comes into this world but has his definite
work to, and in the doing of which he will
achieve his greatest success. 1t is foolish
to say that the thought creators the schol-
ars and the workers of the past could do
nothing in this twentieth century. They
belonged to their own age and were spe-
cially endowed for their own era. In con-
cusion DIR. Easton said, Gods plan is a
fnality. No life is common place and even
drudgery becomes divine when God Is
sought TO be honored in the work
