Brought Into Port for Repairs by
Wreckine Tug Rescue.

The coasting schooner Zaccheus Sher-
man, abandoned in a waterlogged condi-
ton of False cape, Va. was towed into
Hampton roads Saturday by the Merritt

bring her into harbor. where she can be
hauled out and have the leaks in her
hull closed.
Before the Rescue reached the Vessei
the steamer Itasca of the Merchants and
Miners line Of Baltimore made hard eff
fort to tow the vessel in to the capes.
The officers Of the steamer got a hawser
to the schooner, but it parted. A portion
of it got in the propeller of the 1tasca and
she had to give up the job.
Before Capt Cook and his crew left the
Sherman he caused her to be anchored,
SO she would not drift ashore.

schooner Quicktime, before reported
ashore on Cape Point. Chesapeake bay,
has contracted with a Baltimore wrecking
firm to raise the vessel and bring her to

here with cargoes of lumber from river
points.

In the conversion Of moro than 100000

preachers took back seat, and the move
ment was carried on by the rank and
file" He termed the great religious up
rising In Wales "a revival Of love-"
He said the fruits OF the Welsh revival
were the best test of its character. They
were manifest in changed moral conduct
Of the people. In their language. in their
attitude toward animals, in the DISPOSE
ton to be more thoroughly honest and
to pay up long-standing debts, in the CO.
operative spirit which led many hard
ened men to change completely in their
attitude toward religion and give gener-
ously in support of It. Finally. without
any prohibition law. the drink. curse.
which had been dominant, has been mar
velously reduced, and in many instances
the saloon put entirely out Of business.

STRESS OF CITY LIFE.
Rev. DIR. Charles Wood breaches on
the Deceitfulness of Riches.

Rev. DR.. Charles Wood breaches on
the Deceitfulness Of Riches.
Rev. DR.. Charles Wood discussed "The
Religious Stress Of City Life at the
Church Of the Covenant last evening be-
fore a large congregation. The pastor
took his subject from Mark, iv:19, And
the cares of this world and the deceitful-
ness of riches and the lust of other
things entering, choke the word and it be-
cometh unfrultful."
Riches" DR.. Wood said, take on their
more dazzling, deceitful and resistless
forms in the city. few square yards OF
soil there may be worth more than a vii
lage. A building may be a fortune. In
such an atmosphere the weeds of care
grow luXuriously, smothering often the
white flowers OF a blameless life. A
golden haze settles down upon the city,
and looking through such mist. whose
light Is refracted in weird ways, not all
eyes see straight or make a correct ap-
praiseInent of values.
Our cities are full Of men and women
who are paying a fatally extravagant
price for riches. because Of their dazed
they buy the things that make life either
enjoyable or endurable. Deceived by
false promises, they give all they have
and are for wealth. only to find that they
have gained little more than Esaus mess
of pottage.
1.-THE problem of the support and devel-
opment of the religious life in our cities
still waits for solution. A church to live
in city must make it clear that she
cares first of all, not for system. a
ritual, building or an organization. but
for men, whether found in mansions or
tenements, in fine linen or in rags

CITY AND DISTRICT.
Tells of Christmas Joy.

Christmas JOY" was the subject of
Rev. DIR. Woodrow for his sermon In the
First Congregational Church yesterday.
The truest, sweetest joy of all the year
IS the joy of Christmas" the pastor said
1T is more genuine, more spontaneous.
more widespread than the joy of any
other time or season. 1t is a joy felt by
prince and peasant alike, and dourishes in
the cottage as in the palace Christmas
Joy walks amid the throngs in crowded
city streets. and travels the lonely country
byway. Everywhere there Is thought and
preparation for Christmas cheer. 1t is
the staple of the dreams of childhood and
the happy memory Of old age"
