ability to use 1t. For God never
are unable totally to use. For God
never jests with men. And to call
a man to a hopeless task is to Jest
with him, to make light of him. But
upon every man to whom the golden
opportunity comes is laid the respon-
sibility to utilize that chance to the
glory of God and to the best of his
own ability. The church, not other
wise than man, is under compelling
responsibility to make use of the OPP
portunities hat are hers. She can
not still the appeal of those oppor-
tunities; she ought not to deny them;
she ought not to endeavor to avoid
or evade them. She should gather
the opportunities to herself with Joy
and welcome the responsibilities
thereto attendant with happiness I'M
feigned.
Life is determined in the terms of
possibility. That is to say, that life
is hope. "While there is life there is
hope" is no mere catch phrase. 1t
is profound philosophy in a sentence.
For live men who are really living
r expectant. They look ahead.
Their faces front the future. They
are interested in that which is un.
attained, that which may be achieved,
that which is not yet realized. For
life is full of possibilities. And pos
sibilities made progress possible. To
be alive is to progress. But where
there are no possibilities there is no
progress. Life is delightful because
of its possibilities; possibilities for
s~elf-culture, for moral and spiritual
advancement, for constructive SER
vice, for the doing of deeds both
doughty and glorious for man and
for God. This is the salt of life.
This lends life zest and gives it
flavor.
Life is determined in the terms of
divinity. For life is of God. And
every soul that lives may partake of
the character and of the beauty of
the personality of God. Whatever
you and I are not, of this we may be
sure, we are the children of God, we
are divinely born. Our life is the
Fathers gift. Therefore, if we are
children we should be obedient. We
should enter into such filial relation
ships with God that our divinity shall
be manifest, that we shall show forth
the heirship with Christ that is ours.
Let us, then, be alive to our op-
~portunities, glorying in our RESPONSE
bility, augmenting u forcefulness in
the achievement of u possibilities,
maturing the divine life of God that
indWells lis. For his is life.

EXPLOSION ON A WARsH|p
Many Japanese Meet Death on
the kaShima.
Blast Took Place Inside Shield of
Starboard 1O-Inch Gun. Badly
Damaging Ship.

Tokio.-An explosion aboard the
japanese warship Kashima killed five
officers and twenty-five men and six
teen others are seriously wounded.
The catastrophe occurred after target
practice near Kure, at four o'clock
in the afternoon.
The cause of the explosion is un-
der investigation. 1t occurred inside
OF the shield Of the starboard after
ten-inch gun. 1t was not the shell
which exploded, but powder, which
evidently caught fire from the gas
emitted from the breech when opened
for the purpose of reloading the gun.
The hull of the Kashima is not
damaged.
The Kashima, in command of Cap
tain Kolzumi, reached Kure two
hours later, where the wounded were
placed in the hospital.
The Kashima is a battle ship of
16,400 tons, built in England and
completed in 1906. She is 425 feet
long, heavily armored, mounts four
~twelve-inch guns, four ten-inch and
twelve six-inch and a number of
smaller ~rapid-fire guns, and carries a
crew of $50 officers and men. Her
speed is estimated at more than nine
teen knots. She is a sister ship of
the Gatori, also built in England.
Outside of the disasters to Japan
csc war vessels during the war with
Russia, the sinking of Admiral Togo's
flagship, the Mikasa, this is the most
serious disaster which has befallen
the navy of Japan. The Mikasa sank
September II, 1905, at Sasebo, after
a mysterious explosion had occurred
on board of her, the general opinion
being that it vas the result of spon-
taneous combustion, due to the de-
composition of explosives in the mag
azine. Two hundred and fifty-si2
were killed or missing and 343 in
jured- Admiral Togo was not on
board at the time.
The explosion on board the IA
shima recalls the disaster of July Is
last on board the United States battle
ship Georgia, off Provincetown, Mass.
when nine men, including Lieutenant
Caspar Goodrich and Midshipmar
Faulkner Goldthwaite, were killed
and thirteen were injured by an ex
plosion in the after turret of thai
vessel.

Filled With the Fulness of God.

This is how the Rev. DR.. Dixon IL
Illustrates the thought of being filled
with the fulness of God:
standing on the deck of a ship in
midocean, you see the SUI reflected
from it's depths. From a little boat
IN a mountain lake you see the sun
reflected from it's shallow waters.
Looking into the mountain spring,
not more than six inches in diameter,
you see the same great sun.
Look into the dewdrop &C the
morning and there it is again. The
sun has a way of adapting itself to it's
reflections. The ocean is not too
large to hold it, nor the dewdrop too
small. So God can fill any man,
whether his capacity be like the
ocean / mountain lake like
the spring, or like the dewdrop.
Whatever, therefore, be the capacity.
there is opened up the possibility of
being filled with the fulness of
God. "-Metho Recorder.

William Wales a Suicide

William Wales, sixty-nine years
old, a wealthy retired manufacturer
of stereopticons, living at Leonia
Heights, died in the Engl4wood Hos
pital from self-inficted wounds.
Wales cut his throat, severing the
wind pipe, and slashed his wrist with
a razor. He fell unconscious at his
wife's feet when she opened the door.
Only DR.. Wyler's efforts for five
hours saved Wales from dying at
the time, the wind pipe being joined
by a silver tube. Wales was twice
married. He leaves three grown
children by his first wife, and a three
year-old son by his second wife. Mrs.
Wales is much younger that her hus-
Oand, and it was said that it was in
sane jealousy on his part that led to
the suicide. The family had just re-
turned from Europe, and the manu-
facturer seemed in good spirits and
in excellent health. Though con-
scious before he died, he refused to
say why he cut his throat.

Mother, and Then Fled.

girl he had been forbidden to court,
John Crown fatally wounded her
mother with a second bullet and then,
having fallen exhausted at the end of
a two-mile pursuit, shot himself to
cheat a mob of would-be lynchers.
Crown came from England two
months ago and took quarters with
Mrs. Harriet Nevlin and her daugh-
ter Jennie at Sandy Ridge, two miles
from here. For his unwelcome atten-
lions to the girl he was turned out
of the house.
Crown returned to the cottage and
called for the girl. She would not
see him, and, forcing his way into
the house, he found her in her bed
room and shot her through the heart.
Mrs. Nevlin grappled with the MUIR
derer, and he put a second bullet
through her lungs.
Outside. attracted by the shots, a
crowd of brickmakers had gathered.
Crown dashed through their ranks
and into the woods. When escape
was impossible, he fired the last bull
let through his own heart.

at the bottom of West Jaurfano street

the occupants were killed outright, a
fourth was fatally wounded and died
next morning, and the others were
more or less seriously hurt. The
bodies of the three killed were lran-
gled almost beyond recognition. n =
The dead were: w. H. RalstoD, a

New York; Britton l.. Graves, drug

The men were returning from the
Elks' clubhouse at Manitou in a six
cylinder, forty-horsepower machine.
The a with passengers crowded into
the two seats, on the hood and on the
steps, plunged at a terrific clip down
the hill. Markscheffel, who was driv-
ing, lost control of the wheel, and
the powerful machine swerving from
side to side across the car tracks, ran
into the gutter.
For fully fifty feet the heavy car
plunged onward, the right front and
rea wheels running in the gutter
and the left wheels a foot higher on
the curb. Suddenly the right front
wheel struck some object and the
machine was thrown a distance of
about forty feet down the hill against
a telephone pole.
Gray was precipitated out CT the
car and damned against the telephone
pole. The entire left side of his face
was fattened and his skull was laid
open, the impact tearing the top of
his head almost in two.
Ralston evidently was thrown
against the pole or against the board
fence on the other side of the TfSk.
His skull was fractured, as was also
that of Winnal, who was hurled fifty
feet.
