HIS INITIAL SERMON.
New Pastor breaches in MetropoIi-
tan VI. f. Church.


Rev. DR.. James S. Montgomery, Of St
Paul, Mimi, who succeeds Rev. DR.. John
Reid Shannon as pastor of the Metropoli.
tan NJ. E. Church, preached his initial ser.
mon yesterday morning on the text, 81
am come to seek and to save that which
was lost"
Dr. Montgomery said in part: Jesus,
the carpenters son, is the most stupen-
dous fact in the march of civilization.
"hen Jesus stepped upon earth the
golden rule among men was unknown.
The obligation of the Christian is to
teach and exemplify love toward his fell
loW-man. Man is infinitely bigger than
institutions. When institutions come I'm
against man, whether they be political
commercial, or social, mans right Is to
go up and institutions should go down.
The primary duty of this republic is NOT
to build up institutions, but to build up
men. The objective point of the whole
llfe OF Jesus was man."
Dr. Montgomery is proud of the fact
that he started life as a newsboy on the
streets of Muncie, Ind. He attended the
public schools and graduated from the
Muncie High School and later from the
northwestern University. He was a spe-
cial student at Oxford.

THE OBSERVER.

The stories of two New York boys have
recently occupied considerable space in
the newspapers.
From the fifth story of a tenement
where he lived, messenger boy fell to
instant death while trying to rig up a
wireless apparatus. He was dangling in
the air when the frayed rope that was
attached to a chimney on the roof broke,
and the lad in whose mind dwelt the
dream Of fame as another Jack Binns
was lost.
He had not long been dead when an
other boy, a blue-eyed, golden-haired
Lord Fauntleroy' sort of a boy, was
taken in custody by the police as the
'Raffles' who had given several pre-
cincts nervous prostrations by his willy
apartment house robbertes.
Just for a moment, as We sit at break
fast table, let us-you and 1 who are
grown up-cOnsider the impelling traits
which sent one boy to a police court and
another to death.
That tireless activity, that eternal in
quisitiveness that is born of age-old
heredity, the determination to find out
how thick is the ice on the skating
pond and how deep is the swimming
hole and how many eggs are in the rob-
ms nest-all of these are part Of the
boyish nature.
If the messenger boy-who would be
Jack Binns before his trousers were
lengthened-had used his dauntIess en-
ergy in some other way-if he had not
attempted his operations so ambitiously-
he would be alive to-day and happy.
If the other youngster had confined
his activities to less hazardous but no
less exciting games than that OF
the outlaw, he would have escaped an
ignominy that will now remain with
him for years.
Yet neither boy was A coward, and
a boy who has courage has good quail
ties, which, If rightly directed, furnish
latent possibilities of greatness.
Do you remember what the great poet
who with a mans full mind possessed
the golden heart of a boy, sang of the
youngsters of all ages?
boys will is the winds will.
And the thoughts Of youth are long. long thoughts
Yes; a boys will is the winds will
ever changing, never resting, sweeping
on in flights of imagination that dull
adults cannot comprehend. The soft,
sweet music of the Pied Piper of Hame-
lin, whom the boy knows by the name
Unknown, is always sounding in the
childish ears.
BE a soldier" says the siren, "and
conquer many fields.
"Or a great inventor whose name shall
rebound to the credit of all men.
Or a Raffies-a courtly, clever thief
whom no one shall ever suspect"
1t is all the same in the boys thoughts.
They are the long, long thoughts of
to be achieved by daring. Life
to him is the life of the gallant Crusader
the life to be conquered by the brave
and strong.
His ambition may go awry and he may |
choose the wrong field for his activity |
Even then he may still possess some
traits that will lead to honor and fame

DAM.

Havana, July 2O.-The process of re-
moving the water surrounding the
wreck Of the Maine was practically
completed last evening, when the water
level in the cofferdam had been low
cred eighteen feet, leaving the wreck
surrounded by islets of mud, small
pools and sinkholes of green Shiny
water. The soundings show nowhere
depth in excess of four feet.
The structure of the bow as far aft
as frame is is now exposed, permitting
an analysis of the plates, beams, ribs,

structure of the double bottom, which
is now elevated to height of about
forty feet above the normal position,
