Saved In Nick of lime.

A thrilling tale of the sea was told
when the crew of the trawler Ava
were landed at Hull, England, the
other day, the vessel having sprung a
leak and foundered in the North sea
She sank in little over an hour, but
the crew were rescued by the Hartle-
pool trawler, Loeb Barry. During the
storm the water rose rapidly and ex-
tinguished the engine room fires.
Flares were burnt. and in their despair
the crew burnt their beds. The pumps
could not cope with the thrush of wa
ter, and eventually the crew took to
their boat. Some of the men had to
lie in the bottom of the boat. They
rowed against strong swell for
hours without making any progress,
and hope of rescue was being despaired
of when the Hartlepool trawler hove
in sight. 1--WE were rescued from the
very jaws of DEATH" was the remark
of the rescued skipper.

INFANT
ELECTION
CLAUSE
GREAT TOPIC
YESTERDAY
SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIANS
General Assembly Discusses Mooted
Question of Many Years
Standing.

Lewisburg, w. Va. May 25.-Arter
standing for two centuries and half
as a doctrine of the church, the select
infant" clause of the confession of faith
of the Southern Presbyterian church
came up for revision today III the gen
eral assembly, in session here. The
church is divided into several parties
on the question and the fight for and
against it has been waged for years.
The question arose from the COM
ment being made that if select" in
fants are saved, there must be some
infants that are not elected How, to
say, in churchly language that the
church holds that all infants are elect
ed is the problem.
AT the last assembly an ad interim
committee, headed by DR.. A. nj. Fra
ser, was appointed to propose TO this
assembly proper wording Of the pro-
posed amendment. 1t was this report
that was set for action today.
Those who favor action by the church
on the subject are sub divided into
two classes. One would tack foot
note to the confessional; the other adj
vocates boldly changing the wording
Of the select infant clause itself.
The ad interim committee reported
its first recommendation as footnote,
reading: "This paragraph (the elect
infant clause, calaot by a fair inter-
probation of the language, be construed
as teaching that any of those who die
in infancy are lost, and it is not the
belief of the Presbyterian church in
the United States that any infants,
dying in infancy, are lost"
AS second choice the committee re-
commended that the present clause be
superseded by the following:
"Of those whom God hath given to
the Lord Jesus to be his seed, such as
are incapable of being outwardly cid-
ed by the ministry OF the word, are
regenerated and saved by Christ,
through the spirit who worketh, when
and where and how He pleaseth."
This was drawn TO protect the doc.
trine of election, to avoid implying

spawn before they return up the river

after spawning are coarse, and, when
cut up, white in the flesh; in fact, are
known as bull trout. for so-called

nine or ten years, and all tie time

his persistency and energy that the
Almeda is now a real mine. The
company has just completed a hun

ed on it's initihl run in about a
week, Mr.. Wickham going down now
to start the machinery. The Almeda
has an immense body of medium

cross-breeds were tested and also

absolutely necessary for the breed

chick sufficient to bring it from the

them as it did those kept in very
warm houses, strength being low in
