Charles NJ. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Railroad. One Of the last things
Mr.. Hays said was this: THE White
Star, the Cunard and the Hamburg
American lines are devoting their atten-
ton and ingenuity to obtain supremacy
in luxurious ships and in making speed
records. The time will come soon when
this will be checked by some appalling
disaster" Poor fellow, few hours later
he was dead.
The conduct of Col. John Jacob Astor
was deserving of the highest praise. The
millionaire New Yorker devoted all his
energies to saving his young bride. nee

health.
Col. Aston helped US in our effort to get
her In the boat, and as she took her place
Col. Aston requested permission of the
second officer to go with her for her own
protection.
mo. SIR replied the officer: mot a
man -; shall all go on boat until the women
Col. Aston then inquired the number
of the boat which was being lowered
away, and turned to the work Of clear
ing the other boats and in reassur.ng the
frightened and nervous women.
BY this time the ship began to list
frightfully to port. This became so dan
gerous that the second officer ordered
every one rush to starboard. This we
did, and we found the crew trying to get
boat off in that quarter. Here 1 saw
the last of John B. Thayer and George
B. Widener of Philadelphia.
Despite the warnings of icebergs. no
slowing down of speed was ordered by
the commander of the Titanic. There
were other warnings, too.
In the twenty-four-hour run ending the
14th, the ships run was 546 miles, and
we were told that the next twenty-four
hours would see even better record
posted. No diminution of speed was in
Dictated in the run, and the engines kept
up their steady running. When Sunday
evening came we all noticed the increased
cold, which gave plain warning that the
ship was in proximity to icebergs or ice

The second officer. who was on the top

flashed through my brain. I thought of
those at home, as if my spirit might go
to them and say goodbye forever. for a

occurred in the history of a member of

martyred blood the Catholic church of Japan was drowned, to allay shivering fear in the court of the Shogun.
 Is it not strange paradox that the now political religion of Jesus should so constantly become the dread of political tyrants? Is it not strange yet that this fear should prove well founded, and that, inspired by this religion, a passion for justice should arise and a patient de- termination to achieve it? Turkey and China are modern proofs of this. The ex- planation of course lies in the fact that though non-political Christianity is in tensey social.
 Tor some years before the Chino-Jap- aEese war a steady work of evangelism had been going on in Korea, under Amer ican missionaries. The simple and some what over impressonable and childlike Koreans began to embrace the new faith. By the time when the Russian attempt to swallow Korea tragically ended at Port Arthur this religious change had gone far, and when Japan assumed control and abolished the old royal institutions the sad and desolated patriotism of Korea sought consolation in the gospel. Not since the first century nave such masses oe a non Christian nation so spontaneous

WHO HAVE MADE ALABAMA-JAMES T. MUIR

There would come under the sway of this master of men, at the different in- stitutions in which he served, raw lads from obscure rural retreats, unskilled, gawky and awkward, yet within whom were powerful possibilities, which the student of character and the incisive teacher would detect, and like the opaque diamond in the hand of the lapidarss the crude youth would yield results, often the most astonishing.
 Thus through multitudes who sat at his feet, Dr. Murfse has been instru- mental in changing the faces of many communities, as his students have taken their places in life. This expression is attributed to Alexander the Great: T am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well
 All this is suggested by the life and career of the great teacher now under review. A life so long and so useful was necessarily varied Born in Southamp- ton county, Va, on September 1S 1853,

pressure of Russian ambition, while also her geographical relation to Japan is such as to threaten that empire if held by a mighty foe. Corea must be strong ly neutral or else dominated by Japan, unless she must be permitted to become a sword threatening the very vitals of her island neighbor.
 But unfortunately for the corean na- ton a strong native administration was unavailable. Japanese statesmen chose therefore what was perhaps the lnevlt- able path of absorption, and first con- trolled and then eliminated the Corean government.
 This was where Japanese promises and professions were burdened with a most difficult task If they would be justified. The large question then began to be asked: Is the heart of Japan sound and true enough to endure the new test? Greater than the strife of war, a heavier burden than that of dying, now came the fearful task of producing honest administration for the peninsula. To be first in war is not half so great as to be first in the arts of peace, the highest of which is the art of justice.

Is the imi- tation going so far as to reproduce in Korea the work of the East India eom- pany and Warren Hastings? Is Japan en- deavoring to have in Korea what the Eng fish have in Ireland, what Russia and Germany have in Poland, what Turkey has had these many years in her Eu- rorean possessions?
 There seems not one shred of evidence to prove that Korean Christians have con- spired against the Japanese authorities. The roots of the trouble lie deeper. An old historic movement and phenomenon has been repeated. Precisely the same cause that impelled the Japanese centuries ago to drive Christianity out of the islands now impels the officials of the new de- pendency to fear the Christian mission ary. For the government of that day was an arbitrary government, resting wholly on the military power Of the governing elan. Its weakness was its fear lest some influence should arise to mite other clans against it. It recognized in the Jesuits and their teachings precisely that possi- bility, and it struck berore the danger became visible to others. In streams of
