Martha no less than Mary was devoted
to Jesus. they both loved Him as lie
loved them both. Each of the women
had her own way of showing affection

Martha's chief concern seems to have
been what she could do for Jesus

In" to the latest information from those
who are investigating the cause. The
t-Tv't Western and London and South
western roads have been fighting one
another for some time on the time be-
tween Plymouth to London. Last week
the Great Western took a party Of Ger
man editors TO London from Plymouth
in four and one-half hours, establish
ing new record for this distance Of
246 miles
The Southwestern attempted to beat
this. with the resulting death roll The
distance from the start to the place of
the accident, 146 miles, occupied I47
minutes. The first part of the journey
from Plymouth TO Exeter is over heavy
grades where the speed was necessarily
lower. There Is straight run of twelve
miles before Salisbury is reached, and
this was taken at a flying pace.
There Is long but not sharp curve
at the station, and 1t was in the middle
of this that the train jumped the track.
- is clear that the speed was not re-
duced and the comparatively light Eng
iish engine and cars could not stand the
strain The speed OF the train at the
time OF the accident is said by some TO
have been seventy-five miles an hour.
