FRENCH CAPITAL WRECKED
A Tremendous flood of the Siene
on which is situated Paris, France,
nearly destroyed the most beauti-
full part OF that city, which is said
to be the most beautiful in the world
For many days the city was in dark
ness, With surging waters threaten
ing the great buildings, and the
damage is estimated at almost as
much as that caused by the San Fran
cisco fire, $3.50 900. Many people
were drowned, and the city was so
overwhelmed that great disorder
broke out, bands robbing and murder
ing IN the streets, and breaking into
the houses. While the river has now
gone down, many important and fam
Gus buildings are undermined, and
may have to be torn down. 1t will
be years before the city RECEIVERS.
II is the most unfortunate as well rs
the most beautiful in Europe, and has
suffered horribly many times in the
last century and a quarter, from war,
rebellion, mobs. fire and pestilence,
as well as from disaster like this.
1t is believed, however, that this is
the worst that has come.

Mrs. Boswell. who was unable TO ac-
company him.
The text for this first sermon was
from Matt. 2S-1S "All power is given
unto Me in Heaven and on Earth"
We are living. said Mr.. Boswell, in
day OF manifest power He told of
the great battleships, the trains, the
mighty engines, and oher manifesto
lions OF physical power. Men are
everywhere seeking for power today,
merchants for their business. doctors,
TO save lives, lawyers for their
clients. students for their hard stud
les. Political problems need power.
But no where, he went on is power
needed more than in the lives of the
individual to overcome selfish self,
and when we have once got the
power to overcome selfish self, we
will master all these other problems.
A statement is no stronger than
It's backing. II man says that he
can do a thing, you believe him II
you think he Is strong enough. And
what backing has this statement that
"All power" is given TO Christ?
When Christ stood up before all the
earth and said that, back of Him was
the Almighty God.
Mr. Boswell then cited various in
cideuts of Christ's life TO show that
he has power In many ways. He has
power over business, as was proved
by his driving the usurers from the
Temple; he has power over vegeta-
ton, as was proved by the whitening
OF the fig tree which he cursed; he
has power over the elements, as his
quieting the storm on the sea show
ed And not only this, but he has
power over the grave, for lie rails
ed Lazarus. And, still more, lie had
power TO forgive sin, as he forgave
the sinful woman who had bathed
His feet with her tears. That woman
was low, but no lower than the men
who had brought her down, for the
man that sins immorally is just as
bad as the woman. There are not
two standards before God.
And this is not all When the wo-
man was dismissed, He said Thy
faith hath saved thee" And this is
not ALL The woman was forsaken,
friendless, despised, and He said
Go in peace" Christ has power TO
forgive sins-your sins. He proved
It when He was here on earth.
Mr.. Boswell also spoke a word 10
church members, TO those who, he
said had not been doing anything
but going thru the motions like ma.
chimes. lie told of case of a woman
who had fallen to the lowest depths
after having been a member of q
Sunday school till she was fifteen, and
who told him that in all those years
the members of the church had
never taught her the saving grace Of
Christ He urged the church mem
bers to be diligent in their work Of
leading people to know that Christ
has power to save.
