The reports made at the Method

One conversion was reported.
Rev Onderdouk announced as his
subject The One Thing Needful.'
Text, St Mark 1921.
The sermon was based on the sto-
ry of the young man who came to
Jesus and asked what he might do
to inherit eternal life. This young
man was wealthy and when Jesus
told him to sell all his possessions
and follow him he went away griey-
ed The preacher said this story was
familiar to every one This young
man, although wealthy, had lived a
clean life and was no doubt inter
ested i'll the welfare of his soul. He
wanted to be saved but he was not
willing to accept the terms of Christ.
The preacher said that evidently this
young mans conception of religion
was that it was something that re-
suits from works He was moral
list and believed his morals would
save him The moralist. said the
preacher. is stalking evrything on his
power of eyading the evil things in
this world according to his concep-
ton of what is right The man who
congratulates himself he is keeping
the law is mistaken.
Jesus admired this young man for
his pure life, but it was not pure
outer lite that was demanded of him.
Outwardly he was all right but Je-
sus saw that he needed a touch of
the divine power.
During the invitation several went
forward and knelt at the altar fol
prayer. There We're two or three
conversions.

BOY GOES To HIS
DEATH IN RAPIDS
GREAT NIAGARA FALLS CLAIMS
GAMEST VICTIM 1T HAS
EVER HAD.
MADE A GREAT FIGHT
To Save His Life-Youth Swims Fully
100 Yards Farther than Did
Capt. Webb-6ody Seen
in WhiIipoci.

Niagara Falls, n. Y. Aug. l7.-Au-
gust Sporer. an lS.year-old boy of this
city, went to his death in the Whirl.
pool rapids after a gallant battle with
the giant waves between the lower
bridges and the pool
With three companions Sporer went
for swim in the river at the former
Maid of the Mist landing. He struck
out at once for the middle of the
stream and then turned toward the
bridges. His companions called 10
him 10 turn back. for the current is
very swift at that point but he kept
on down stream and was caught in the
great sweep, the first break from the
smooth waters to the rapids.
The boy struggled for a time against
the current, but TO no avail. Then
realizing that he was beyond human
help and was TO be carried through
the rapids, which took the life of Capt,
Webb, and which have resisted every
human effort at passage, he deliberate
~ turned down stream and began Il
grim fight for life.
Not in all the history of the river
has such a brave effort been witness
ed. Although but frail boy, he Wen.
into the rapids swimming strongly and
held his own until he struck the old
battery elevator Then he went under
and for a second was lost TO sight Of
the score of persons who stood on the
lower arch bridge.
Again and again he disappeared
only to reappear each time fighting
desperately against the terrible cur
rent. Then, when within SEQ yards OF
the whirlpool. his strength gave out
and he sank and was lost TO view
Even then he had swum perhaps 100
yards farther than did the great Eng
fish swimmer Capt Webb.
The body can now be seen in the
whirlpool. where rivermen are waiting
for it to be brought in toward shore
far enough to be recovered.
