ATTENDANCE


Addressing himself almos, exclusives
ly to church members, Rev. Mr, sun
day delivered n sermon to !. 500 at .hc
tabernacle Tuesday night. which I'm
many respects has not been equaled by
him since the revival opened. His
subject was Tho Three Groups" ana
tho setting of the story was In the
garden OF Gethsemane. when Christ
was betrayed TO his enemies. Tho
three groups were the eight disciples
whom Jesus left just across the brook
kedron. and just inside the GARDEN:
Peter James and John, whom he took
farther up the mount, nearer Jesus;
and Jesus alone with God.
Basng his sermon upon the exper.
fences and the lives of these thres
groups. Rev Mr.. Sunday wadcd into
the church members and handled his
subject without gloves, throwing In
enough slang and characteristic ex-
pressions 10 give it spice He spoke
with such force and earnestness that
he held the rapt attention OF the con-
gregatiop for more than an hour.
Hits Shortcomings of Church.
His sermon was aimed principally at
the shortcomings OF the church. and
Instead OF issuing the invitution for
sinners to come to Christ he sounded u
railylng call FOR the christians and
church members To live closer To Gui.
and before he closed he asked all
church members and christians, who
professed to be such. but who recog-
n'zed that they We're not as faithful
christians as they should be. and who
would promise To live closer to God
and do more for his cause, to arise
and come forward. Four hundred or
500 answered the summons and came
down tho aisles. and stood with bowed
heads while prayer was offered for
their reconsecration, the Keynote Of
which was Not my will. but thy will
be done"
Crowd Furthost From God.
To that large number OF church
members, which are just inside the
church. but nearer the world than
they are to God. Mr. Sunday paid cs-
pecial attention. and branded and re-
branded them with accusations OF their
upfaithfulness. He likened them tn
the eight disciples whom Jesus left last
inside the garden
He denounced their worldliness ana
their sinfulness and OF the hindrance,
rather than help, they were to the
church. OF that other group, which
che likencd to Peter. James and John,
who were closer TO God but still sep
arated from him by little distance i,o

TWENTY DROWN At PIrssURG.
Overloaded Launch Goes to Bottom Of
River. With Workmen.


Pittsburg, Pa, May 12-Twenty per-
sons are missing and all of them are
believed to have been drowned when a
gasoline launch sank in the middle of
the Ohio river near Schoenville, four
miles below Pittsburs last night OF the
thirty occupants of the boat, only ten
are known to have escaped.
All the men were employees Of the
Pressed Steel Car Company at the Nc
Kees Rock plant. The men had been
working overtime until o'clock and
left the works to cross the river in the
launch about fifteen minutes later. The
boat Is said to have been intended for
not over twenty persons, and it is al
legged It was dangerous to attempt to
carry as many as twenty-five. But all
the men, wanted to get across the river
on. the first trip and thirty of them
crowded In. As the men started out in
the boat one of them is said to have
remarked that 1t seemed to him to be
overcrowded and he feared it was not
safe.
Albert Graham, the pilot, and one of
those who Is missing, is said to have
replied that It was safe enough all
right, as he had carried twenty-seven
persons last night. No more was said
about the load but when the boat
reached the middle of the stream where
the water IS twenty-five feet deep, the
boat suddenly sank beneath the weight
and went to the bottom. AS it sank It
caused suction which took many of
the men down with it. Others attempted
to oswim ashore but were chilled by the
cold water and became exhausted. So
far as Is known only ten Of the men
reached shore.

GOVERNMENT TAKES FIRM MEAS.
uREs IN PREPARING TO DEAL
WITH STRIKERS.
$4,000 SOLDIERS READY
FOR DUTY in PARIS ALONE
Offices Thruout the Provinces Strong
ly Guarded and Protection Will Be
Afforded Men Who Failed to Go On
Strike - Only Mail Clerks Involved
But Strike May Spread.

Paris, May 12.-Paris today resem-
bled city in a state of siege. During
the night troops took possession of the
central post and telegraph stations,
and squads Of infantrymen were pick
eted around every branch office to
protect the postal employees who were
willing to work The streets are being
patrolled by mounted republican
guards, and all exposed telegraph
lines are being carefully watched. Sol
diers have been introduced even into
the sewers of the city to prevent the
cutting Of wires.
Five hundred military telegraphers
and several hundred automobiles have
been. hastily modified ready for in
slant service. General Dalstein, mill
tary governor of Paris, has $4,000
troops in reserve.
The walls of Paris are covered with
posters announcing the strike will con-
tinue until the employees grievances
are redressed.
Only Mail Clerks Out.
The right to form trades unions will
be obtained, cost what it may, but be-
yond the railroad mail clerks the num-
ber who have abandoned work is COM
paratively small. The first two mail
deliveries were effected without the aid
of troops. In the provinces the tactics
adopted by the government here are
being repeated. The various post
offices were encircled by cordons of
troops today.
The press generally reproaches the
chamber of deputies for its cowardice
yesterday in postponing a vote on the
postal situation, thus throwing the
entire responsibility on the govern
ment. It is understood, however, that
Premier Clemenceau preferred nom
parliamentary action for tactical rea-
sons-first, to force the postmen to
open the battle: second. to permit the
government to put its measure into
operation. This places parliament in a
position where it will be compelled to
approve or abandon the government in
the midst of its crisis The places of
the strikers will be filed automatically.
'lOWdTu uoon c16uL SlIlhcrS were s4I.
rested while trying to enter the cen
trail bureau. Nancy is the first city
where the telegraphers and telephon-
lists went out.
Strike May Extend.
It was officially announced this aft
ernoon that the strikers numbered 700
men, chiefly railroad clerks, but at
strike headquarters very much larger
number is claimed. Leaders say the
movement is extending rapidly, that
there will be a complete suspension in
three days, and that they have the
promise Of several sympathetic trade
strikes.
General Dalstein has given orders
that the garrison at Paris be held in
the barracks. Dispatches from the
provinces indicate that the response to
the strike order was effective at Bor-
deaux.
