The Invisible Force.

God hates the sin but loves the sim
ner-loyes him T. at is, as a man. not
in his character .. a sinner. God
loves humanity in spite of, not be-
cause of its wrongdoing, He would.
If possible, love the wrongdoer out of
his sin, love him into decency, sanity,
righteousness. The love of God is
not a mere empty sentiment, but is
an invisible force which makes for
holiness. and ultimately for happi-
ness.-Ram's Horn.

ForgetfuIness and ForgIyeness.

An old man lay on his dying bed.
Beside him were three of his sons.
The father had taken each of his
boys by the hand, and had spoken his
last words of loving advice and fare
well. When he had finished. one of
the boys leaned over the dying man
and. with much emotion, asked for
giveness for any harsh words spoken
in the past. With a look of unut-
terable love, the father replied; "Oh,
my boy. l forgot it all long agol"
When the prodlgal (you and y re-
turns and confesses his sin, he finds
that his Father has forgotten it all
long ago. While the confession is
still on the penitent's lips, he is re-
stored to sonship.

each reaching to the window below.
BY merely turning a small winch on
any floor all these frames are pushed
outward from the building, the lad

with each other, thus forming a con-

Eight Thousand Employees Of the
Two Companies Having Quit Work.
New York. Aug. 1S.-The strike OF
the telegraph operators. which has
affected many cities throughout the
country, was extended to New, York
during the day when men employed
by both the Western Union and Postal
companies quit work. The Postal
strikers said that 80 per cent Of their
men we're out. The Western Union
officials declared that only so per cent
of their force left their keys. Extra
police were called out to preserve or
der in the vicinity Of the telegraph
building, but there was little or no CO.
oasion for their services. The crowds
were orderly.
More than 5000 operators are now
out in all parts Of the country, many
additions to the ranks Of the strikers
having been made during the day In
cities not heretofore affected At
Cleveland both the Western Union
and Postal employees walked out at the
same hour.

Fair Shape.
Chicago, Aug. 1s.-Both the West
srn Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies claim to be In better condition
than at any time since the commence
ment Of the strike of its operators.
Officers of the Western Union said
that the company had more than 300
men at work and was able to care
for business in fair shape. The Postal
company claimed to have about 100
met. and officials also asserted that
the delay in handling messages was
not great. Both companies, however.
had posted In conspicuous places the
notices that messages would only be
accepted subject to delay in transmits
sion.
The officers of the union said the
companies had but one.third Of the
number of men at work that they
claimed and declared that many of
thsm were telegraph students who are
not yet capable Of doing good work.
The decision Of the operators in
New York, Washington and Boston
not to strike Immediately did not dis
concert the officers of tho union. Sec
rotary Wesley Russell said:
1T makes no difference what the
men East vote to do. When the time
comes they will be ordered out and
that will be all there Is to it. They
will come out when we want them"

be any arbitration of the strike.

VESSEL. SUNK IN FOG
Three-Masted Schooner Lost in a
Collision Near New York.
FOUR or THE CREW PERISH

Other Steamer Escapes With Slight
Damage, but Her Passengers Are
Taken Off by Passing Ship and
Landed in New York City.
New York, Aug. 13-The three.
masted schooner Myroneas, bound
from Rockland, Me-, for New York
with load Of granite, was sunk in the
middle Of Long Island sound In col
i1sion with the Neptune line steamer
Tennessee, bound from Fall River to
New York. Four members Of the N.Y.
roneas' crew were drowned, but Cap
tain Belatty was rescued by passen-
gers on the Tennessee and one Of his
crew was also saved by swimming to
the steamer. The passengers of the
Tennessee were taken off by the New
Bedford line steamer Maine and
brought to New York. The Tennessee
anchored in the sound. She did not
appear to be much damaged. There
was heavy fog over the sound at the
time of the collision.
The Tennessee was crowded with
passengers and was making very
nearly her schedule time when the
schooner was sighted only a short
distance away. The sailing vessel
was so near that a collision was inev-
table and the Tennessee's bow struck
her amidship, tearing a great hole in
her wooden planking. The Myroneas
sank Immediately. Captain Belatty,
her commander, and one of the crew.
who were on deck, jumped overheard.
The sailor swan to the Tennessee and
was hauled on board. Captain Belatty
was poor swimmer and shouted for
help. Joseph Kenney, clerk of New
York, and Michael J. Coffin, an oiler
for the United States battleship New
Jersey, both passengers on the Ten
nessee, jumped into the water and
brought him alongside the steamer
and supported him until boat was
launched. He was taken on board the
Tennessee. Captain Belatty said that
four of his crew were missing and
must have gone down with their YES
sci. The Tennessee, which was only
slightly damaged, lay by while a
search was made for the missing sail
ors. The New Bedford line steamer
