ANDREW KERN1N,
JACOB SINKO,
VICTOR NIEMEI,
BAPTISTE DESSO.
The bodies of three, Cork, Madison
and Gaspers have been recovered. The
remains of the six in all probability
have been reduced to ashes, as the
flames have been sweeping through
the slope through which they sought
to escape, almost continually since the
fire started.
Instead of coming up through a
shaft through which more than a hun
dred miners made their escape, the
oAA uOA opPoAOACAy FUCNAAAO SOAAuoCA
and in a dash got beyond the range
Of the rescuers whose prompt work
and immediate grasp Of the situation
saved the lives of Is men.
The accident was not the result Of
the breaking forth OF walled fires as
first reported, but due to the timbers
being set ablaze by a miners lamp.
The fire is still raging in the mine,
the entire timber structures in No. 2
stope have been destroyed to the sur
face. a distance Of 1000 feet. No. 2
airway has caved in, and ven in the
event that the bodies Of the six e
tombed men have not been incinerat-
ed some time must elapse before the
bodies will be recovered.
OF the half hundred miners who
were carried out of the mine on
stretchers yesterday all are recover
ing. When the flames first broke out
there must have been so or mor per-
sons in slope No. 2, whose lives weret
saved by reversing the air currents.

time will come when the institutions
of this country will be put to a great
err strain than has ever happened to
the institutions Of any country in
the world. Riches means luxury OF
life. and luxury always comes before
decay. other nations have been de-
stroyed because they became rich,
and yet in those nations II has been
only few that were rich, while
with us all are getting rich. II we
would he strong we must struggle
Life is a series OF temptations and
obstacles to overcome and II we have
no trials there Is none OF the strength
that comes from work. II is bad TO
be born rich, and there is danger
that in few years the whole nation
win be born rich.
Wealth Is work in solid form. No
man has a right TO money for which
he has not given fair amount Of
work. Money can be put to work for
rs anywhere, and so wealth makes
possible relations with almost all
the world. and II the steady social
order is broken up all wealth ends,
because money is useless unless you
can buy something with It. FOR that
reason wealth belongs In a large man

thing else-they have learned that
character must be attained indirectly
in service. From this comes the
value of the training that is being
obtained in Berea-it is fitting the
students for service and they are ia
be congratulated on being here TO be
fitted.
For service two things are needed.
First there must be the spirit to
serve. or no training will do any
good. Second there must be the fit
ness. the ability. to serve. or no spirit
will help.
And II is becoming more and more
obvious that Gods service is the law
in the new civilization. This means
a service that Is more than other SER
vices-that is conscious. and wllline,
and above all. that is without price.
This law binds every man. A man
is worthy Of his hire, but that should
not be the main object OF his work.
Every man. whether he be store keep
er or preacher. business man or doc
tor. who makes money his motive
is guilty Of commercialism. which is
the besetting sin OF our age and is
far from Christianity.
There is a much higher plane,
where We should live. Christ was
the greatest servant In the universe,
and some have already reached His
plane. II not His power, and are scry-
ing Others for love as He did Ser
vice inspired by love and measured
[ boy sacrifice-that Is the measure OF
an true success In life-it shows how
I far YOU have served God and man,
and that is success. Every man
must live under this law. but he who
gives his strength finds il returned
to him In increased measure--In the
spiritual world to subtract Is to ado,
to keer IS to lose. but he that gives
his life shall save IL.
