Crushed By Train At 0deniOn Crossing
Track Former Annapolis Merchant

AN the business section of Annapo-
r. vas shocked this morning at the
news Of the tragic death yesterday of
III Isaac Silver, former local mer-
chan, and prominent business man,
wtY was killed yesterday afternoon
at Oienton, this county.
Hr Silver was crossing the tracks
NJ the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington railroad in buggy yes
tar4ay afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
when he was struck by a passenger
train 10 Baltimore. The accident
torpened near the station.
Mr. Silver was so badly injured
dat he died about twenty minutes
.ater. A train following the one
which struck the carriage took the
INJURED man to Odenton and a physi-
can was called, but Mr.. Silver breath
ID his last almost before the doctor
arrived.
The body showed a few contusions,
but the principal injury was about
the head. Mr.. Silver was partly
conscious when brought to the sta
ton, and essayed to speak, but
could not.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured is about half a mile from
the station and about the same dis
tance from the Silver house. A
public road runs across the tracks,
and on both sides of the latter is
cut Of some depth, so that no extend
rd view of the tracks can be had.
No one witnessed the accident, but
IL is thought that Mr.. Silver was un-
able to see the train and drove almost
.n front Of the engine. A coroner's
.ury was summoned and some testi-
mony was taken. The inquest was
then adjourned until tonight, when
the engineer and conductor of the
train in question will be asked to
make statements.
Mr.. Silver was 58 years old and had
been keeping store near Odenton about
fifteen or eighteen years. He came
from Russia, and is survived by his
widow and ten children, all of them
small. Some few years ago Mr.. Sill
yer was a merchant here, and keen,
progressive business man. His store
was on Market Space. at the corner
of Cornhill and Fleet street, and he
did large business. He owned con-
siderable property, both here and in
the county, and was highly thought
of by the business men of Annapolis
for his integrity and progressive and
husineSs-like methods.

PRICE ONE CENT.
THE BLIND SERVANT"
Sermon By Bishop Nelson At ST. Anne ;
An Appeal Made BV An AumnuS
OF ST, Johns To ST. Johns
Students

a congregation taxing the capacity
of st. Anne's Church assembled yes
terday morning to hear the Bishop
Of Atlanta. Ga. the Rt Rev Gle
land kinloch Nelson, d. D., preach.
He came as the representative of
the Layman : Missionary Movement
to deliver their message to tbs con
gregation.
Bishop Nelson's fame had preced-
ed him, and his admirers were more
than gratiiied when the gceat con-
gregatiOn listened to his eloquent ap-
peal. The Bishops text was lisa.
MIL. Who is blind, but my ser
vant?' He spoke of the contribu-
tions missions had made to our people
in the past; the claims they have
upon US today, and what we have to
gain from them for ourselves.
To all Of these things he applied
his text. We are blind to what hPs
been done, blind to our duty and to
our opportunities. At the conclusion
the preacher made a strong appeal to
the students from St Johns College
tof which he is an alumnus and
nephew of a former president) to con-
slider the missionary field as voca-
tion, not to be blind to it but to be-
hold and see what it offers.
The Bishop is eloquent because lie
is convinced. His work has always
been with influential people for the
poor and neglected This work so
absorbed him that ne gave little atten-
tion to the needs beyond our national
borders. But last spring he attend
ed, as a casual visitor, the national
convention Of the Layman's S Mission
ary Convention, which was held i'm
Chicago. and has come from it to
speak as one who was blind to tho
great debt, opportunities and obliga-
tions, and who now sees.
Altogether, the great congregation,
the sermon and the music rendered
by the choir, this service at St.
Anne's Church yesterday marks an
epoch in church life.

nifty for loses sustained by the
Boxer insurrection, and that this
money had been used TO send Chinese
youths to this country to receive edu-
cations. He said tht China was very
grateful to America for this liberal
treatment.
TIE closing speech of the evening
was made by DR.. c. II. Fem of
Pekin, China, who has been a mis-
siouary to that land for many years.
His subject was The Urgency and
Crisis in the Far East. In his open
ing remarks, DR.. Fem drew q con-
trast between conditions in China ten
years ago and at the present time.
In the former period, he said. the
hearts of those who had worked in
China were sore over the results of
the Boxer insurrection; they had lost
friends and co-workers among their
own people and among the Chinese;
they had passed through a period of
disorder. pillage and terror, and the
work of the previous decades appear
ed in a large measure to have been
overthrown and the field made more
difficult for the future
Today, he said, was a period of
hope and of a bright outlook, but
there was a new crisis, danger that
there would not be enough laborers
for the harvest. In all parts of the
world where the missionaries were
at work the cry for more preachers.
physicians and teachers. In no quar-
ter was the supply equal to the de-
mand. The speaker alluded briefly
to the W ork in japan and Korea. In
| the latter kingdom. ne said, the whole
nation was tottering on the verge of
Christianity, the people eager to re-
ceire it. He placed ten years as the
limit of the period when Korea would
be Christian nation if laborers were
sent to gather the harvest.
DR.. Fem spoke of the great need
of educated workers among the Chi
nese, and told how the graduates of
their schools were being attracted to
secular work because of the liberal
offers made to them, much more re
munerative than could be paid for
missionary work. He said, however,
that this need was being supplied in
a wonderful way by the work Of a
Chinese Christian minister and
teacher, MIR. Ding. He said that this
man, beautiful Christian character,
had been told during the Boxer
trouble that he could save himself and
his parishiOners by simply bowling to
an idol, and it was urged that he
could do this as a simple form, an
could remain Christian in his heart,
but he refused to be disloyal to
Christ. He was cast in prison and
tortured and beaten to the verge of
death, but emerged from prison more
intent upon the work of Christ than
ever. 1t is largely through the ap-
peal of this man that the educated
Chinese today are making the finan-
cial sacrifice necessary and are dedi-
eating themselves to missionary work
by the hundreds.
DR.. Fem gave a wonderful picture
of the development of China, which
in ten years, he said, has escaped
from the tenth to the twentieth ce n
tury. China was looking to the fu-
turs, he said, its horizon was broad
ening and its people were eager to
learn. America faces a great respon-
sibility in the wonderful opportunity
it now possesses to send money and
missionaries to that nation and win
it for Christ.
