AN ELOQUENT AND
FORCIBLE SERMON
Preached BY Eminent Methodist Min
lister of San Antonio at Presby-
terrain Church.

An eloquent and forcible sermon
was preached here last night at the
Presbyterian church by DR.. J. E. Har
rison, president of the Methodist Fee
male College in San Antonio, to a
small but attentive audience. DR..
Harrison chose as his text Hebrews,
I'd chapter 9th verse: But we see
Jesus, who was made a little lower
than the angels for the suffering o.
death, crowned with glory and hon
our; that he by the grace of God
should taste death for every man.
DR. Harrison alluded to the creation
of man, his sin and fall from grace.
He stated that throughout the Bible
man is dealt with as a fallen crea-
ture, that the prophets prophesied of
him as a fallen creature and that
the psalmist wrote of him as a fall
len creature, that we all feel some
thing lacking in ourselves, that we
feel depravity in ourselves and that
when we look into the deprayity of
man we can find no answer for his
fallen condition except the answer
give in the Bible, mans disobedience
to Cod That God deals with the
human race as sinners and that while
on earth Christ dealt with all man
kin as fallen, it is taught that
the life of Christ was an act of sacri-
fee for those who were lost. That
He came not for the we'll, the good
and the pure, but that he came for the
bad, the sick and the fallen-came to
save man from suffering that had
come upon man through his sin. He
stated that the contention had been
made by some that Adam was not
man, but name that intimated
process, but if this were true and
Adam was not man, then Christ
had failed in his mission on earth,
for he came as a man to undo what
man had done.
he fall of Adam, his temptation
and the similarity of the temptation
of Christ in the desert to that of
Adam in the garden of Eden. were
dwelt upon He stated that Christ
had tasted of death for every man
and, by so doing, ha4 given all an un-
conditional blessins., that when God
had pronounced the sentence of eter-
nal death to all mankind, it had
meant eternal separation from God,
but the death of Christ had pur-
chased eternal salvation for all. He
dwelt for some length upon the last
hours Christ spent in the garden of
Gethsemane and closed by saying
that Christ dad tasted death that man
might be saved and that, in tasting
death, Christ had brought savation
unto mankind.

All Injured in D. & R. G.
Wreck Now Under
Care Will Recover
Ten Dead
OF TRAIN ON WHICH
FATALITIES OCCURRED is
FOUND IN DENVER-INQUES
AND ROAD EXAMINATION.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 16.-
Hope is now entertained for the re-
covery of all those who were injured
in the d. & r. G.. wreck at Hustled
on Saturday morning. Many of the
injured were discharged from the
hospitals yesterday and today.
Coroner David F. Law this after
noon began an inquest in the cause
of the disaster All of the members
of both train crews have been sum-
noned to appear
w. C. Martin, of Denver. assistant
general manager of the road, also
began an official investigation of the
cause of the accident today. Neither
that of the coroner or the railroad
will be concluded before tomorrow.
With the death of G. M. McCreary
of Dallas, Texas, at st. Francis hos
pital this morning, the number of
fatalities resulting from the wreck
was increased toetens y
Engineer Lessig, driver of the
leading engine hauling, the north
bound train, whose passengers alone
suffered death or injury, disappeared
Immediately after the wreck, and it
was feared for a time that he had
committed suicide. He was found at
home in Denver yesterday. He ap-
peared greatly worried and offered
no reply to questions regarding the
cause of the accident.
John Gossoge, fireman for Lessig,
was the only one among the six en-
ginemen to meet death. The wreck
occurred within sight of his home
and his wife who was standing in
the doorway watching the train go
by, witnessed the accident. She was
among the first to reach the scene.
OF the many features of the acci-
dent, which served to prevent even
greater loss of life and death under
the most agonizing circumstances,
none was more fortunate as it turned
out than that the collision occurred
on a curve. This served to throw
the engines to each side of the track
and the forward coaches of the two
trains which were the only cars de-
trailed, were thrown to the inner
side of the curve.
The immense cloud of kissing
steam escaping from the battered
bulks of the huge engines as they
lay in the deep ditch east of the
track and the heat of the unquench-
ed fires in the engine boxes, wasted
their destructive force on the grass
and weeds. The distance between
the engines and the common car in
which the dead and wounded lay,
was sufficient to remove all danger of
fire, otherwise many of the victims
of the wreck, helplessly entangled in
the ruins of the car, would probably
have been caught by the flames be-
fore they could have been extricated.
The loss to the Denver & Rio
Grande Railway company aside from
the claims for death, will amount to
about $4,000.

Taft approved the appointment of

Director Durand said he hoped to

many of the supervisors appointed by
the president were endorsed by busi-

ties in which they lived and have
been selected more for their capa-
bilites as officials than for any active
part they have played in politics. In
fact, President Taft, it is said, laid
down the rule that supervisors shall

Ballinger- r--Pinchot Con.
troyersy Will Be
Continued in Denver
Gathering This Week
FIVE THOUSAND DELEGATES EN-
PECTED PRESENT AT con-
GRESS--LATTER WILL TAKE
UP IMPORTANT MATTERS.

DENVER Aug. 16,-Plans for the
National western highway, from Ell
Paso, Texas, through the sYellow-
stone park and on to the Canadian
border, will be placed before the
Trans s-Mississippi Congress. which
will be opened normally tomorrow
morning in the Auditorium.
Besides the deep waterway, con-
servation of natural resources, irri-
CATION and freight rates will arouse
great discussion.
Colorado is prepared to force the
freight rate issue and will be assisted
by several neighborfing states. Those
bordering on the Mississippi have
sent delegations which are prepared
to make a big fight for action on the
deep waterways issue, while the
western states have many new plans
for irrigation and conservation which
they will put forward.
Between five and seven Thousand
delegates are expected. One of the
features of the congress probably
will be a renewal of the struggle be-
tween Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger and Chief Forester Pinchot
begun publicly at Spokane last
week. These two men and eighteen
hundred delegates from the National
Irrigation Congress at Spokane are
expected tomorrow.
Among the multitude of subjects
to be discussed and acted upon are
railroads and transportation, COM
mercial problems, closer relations
with southern republics, with special
reference to the Panama canal; ma
tional defense, with special reference
to the Pacific coast and Hawaii,
which will send delegates parcel
post; postal savings banks; mining;
immigration; good roads; beet and
cane sugar industries; reform of the
consular service; drainage of sub
merged lands, and separate state
hood for New Mexico.
Among the accredited delegates
will be five women, two from Den
yer, two from Arizona and one from
Texas. The government will take
advantage of the congress to give
illustrated lectures every night
what the authorities are
doing.
