THE CHRISTIANS FAITH.

Among the survivors Of the terrible
mine catastrophe at Cherry, ILL.,, more
than a week ago, was William Clsl-
land. This man is an ordinary miner.
For years he has delved into the
earth to help bring forth its treasures
to light and to heat the world. he
no more attention from his
fellow laborers nor from his employers
than many others. His work was hon.
est and his service was faithful but
he hardly excited passing comment In
his every day hum drum existence.
But when the flames enveloped the
mines and he and twenty comrades
found themselves imprisoned three
hundred feet below the surface OF the
earth and doomed to what all above
and below believed must be inevitable
destruction, the qualities which had
lain latent and had excited no notice
from his associates shone forth and
he was the hero of that little band
who were providentially snatched from
the very Jaws of death. William Clel-
land had the faith and the courage OF
soldier of the cross. He had
sublime faith in the Christian reli-
gion. 1t sustained and cheered him
in the darkest moments of his awful
experience and it shed it's refulgent
light around his comrades; 1t pierced
the gloom of that seven days of mid
night darkness: it made heaven OF
what would have other wise been
hell. Who can measure the power OF
a religion that brought comfort to
even the scoffers under such circum-
stances?
All the survivors Joined in giving
the highest praise to Clelland. Twice
daily this humble miner conducted
religious services. His lavorite hymn
was Arise, My Soul" AS the words
and notes of that grand old song re-
verberated through the dark recess
ses of the fathomless caverns of that
mine light from heaven shone
through it's gloom and where there
had been despair hope held sway. An,
for the faith of the Christian. Be
not among those who mock at 1t. For
it is the only consolation in the hour
of death, the last hope of sin cursed
world. 1t has frightened the path
way Ger roughtest places; it has ex-
tracted sunshine from the gloomlest
conditions; it has smoothed the
wrinkles from the brow of trouble; 1t
has made death glorious resurrec-
ton and robbed the grave OF its VIC
tory. And yet there are those who
deny it's power; who critise its works
and who scoff at its teachings. VI
such in the great book of books 1t is
truly written 1.-The fool hath said in
his heart there is no God"
IN the udTk CdNSlho vi ShoS NOSNON
mine there daily arose those grand
consoling words:
Arise, My Soul,
Fast Falls the even tide,
THE darkness deepens,
THE Lord with me abide
In the dark recesses of many many
human hearts every hour these words
are a beacon of holy light to cheer
and brighten; to console and uplift.
And when the last final hour comes,
when dust returns to dust and the
spirit wings it's flight to the great
beyond the hope eternal that prompts
these beautiful words remains alone
to comfort the loved ones behind.

 None are Lost.
Especial from United Press.)

New York, April 7.-Passengers on the steamer Havana of the Cuba-New York line were thrown into a panic this morning when the Havana, after leaving quarantine for her dock, ram med the big Munson line freighter Cu- bana, damaging her SO that she had to be 'beached off the Staten Island shore.
 Collision drill was sounded on both steamers and as the frightened pas sengers on the Havana ran out of their cabins they were met by the deck stewards and assured that they were in no danger. In the meanwhile gov ernment tugs passed lines to the Cu- bana and lowed her. into the shallow water where she now lies.
 Captain Kingly of the Havana stated that the collision was due to inability to see the Cubana which was hidden by the big German liner Kron Prinz Wilhelm until it was too late to avoid a collision.
 The Cubana, which has a full cargo of sugar in her holds, is on the bottom off Suspicion. Lighters are now along side and her cargo will be taken off after which temporary repairs will be made and she will be drydocked.

Torrance County Teachers In
stitute will open at the new
schoolhouse on next Monday
morning, with Mrs. Nora Brum-
back as instructor. A number
of the teachers in our county
schools will be in attendance,
and several have already been
inquiring for board and room,
especially in private families.
Our schools have been going
forward by great strides during
the past few years, and this
years Institute promises to be
the best ever held in Torrance
county. Without a doubt the
next term of schools will be
better throughout the county
than any previous term has been.
A number Of the districts have
provided new buildings, while
others have taken advantage of
the vacation time to renovate
the old buildings, SO that these
will be in readiness. No more
loyal class of teachers are to be
found anywhere, and Torrance
county throws down the guant-
let to any of the older counties,
when it comes to advance and
improvement along the line of
education.
An illustrated lecture on
Finding a New World" will
be given on Wednesday night by
Rev. A. M. Harkness of Noun
tainair. This promises to be a
treat to Estancia people and no
doubt will be heard by large
audience,
