Tells of Ismay's Message

Under question Franklin explained how J. Bruce Ismay, head of the In- ternational Mercantile marine, asked by wireless from the Carpathia that the steamer Cedric be held until the Earpathias arrival.
 Ismay wanted to send the Titanic crew back on the Cedric and declared his intention of sailing himself
 Franklin said he telegraphed back to Ismay that he thought it unwise to hold the Cedric while he was sitting on his office table.
 Vice President Franklin resented sev- oral questions of Senator Bourne em- phasizing that "our vessels have been considered equipped with the safest of equipage in taking care of passengers and every member of the crew." He de- clared he did not know of any officer CT man who could be held responsible for the disaster. He said an accident was never remotely speculated upon.
 MT. Franklin had nothing to say about tho criticism of the Titanic's crew, but maintained they were courageous. There was no attempt our part to spirit away any member of the crew" said MT. Franklin. They could not tell any more than the passengers, many of them probably not as much"

Sunday Revival Services
Drew Large Congregations

The Sunday services of the Metho-

largely attended, this was especially
true at the Sunday night service.
At the morning service Mr.. Felts.
who is conducting the meeting, spoke
with great earnestness on the Scrip
ture found in Isaiah 42nd chapter, 18th
and 10th verses. He stated that God
Is a consuming fire or a great pre-.
server, saying, this is not statement
of a historic fact, but a scientific
truth. To the redeemed and saved
God is as great rock in weary land;
to the unredeemed or the unrepentant
sinner his judgments are as the rock
which falling, brushes all before its
irresistible force. Fire, water and
electricity are all creations of God:
they are likewise great servants of
man when under control but destroy
ing forces when unclaimed.
The value of building on foundations
deep and strong, was illustrated by
the case of the San Francisco Call"
building, which, when the great earth
quake came, remained undisturbed in

A CARD OF THANKS,

To the members of the different
Methodist churches of Hattiesburg
and any others who, may have con-
tributed in any way toward assisting
our daughter to enter the Scarrett
Bible Training School, where she can
prepare for the Home Mission field,
language fails to express our opprecia-
ton for the hundreds of gifts and 9TH
er tokens of good will by the good peo-
pie of Hattiesburg.
1t is with sorrow mingled with glad
ness that we give her up, knowing that
He who has made the call has made it
possible for her to go. We have never
witnessed such a struggle to resist
the call to duty as was manifested in
her case, and after five days of earnest
prayer, endeavoring to overcome her
own will in the matter, she finally
surrendered at the family altar and
said Lord open up the way and
will CO." and the Lord, through the
churches, has literally fulfilled this
request, for all of which we are very
grateful and are trying to say Lord,
thy will be done"
Respectfully,
MIR. and Mrs. w. e. Fail.

scene of devastation, because it's
builders had reference to character in
planning and executing when this
building was under way. He urged
that conservation of character is as
necessary as the conservation of ma
terlal resources, if the evil day is to
be met with serenity and composure.
AT night the sermon was entirely
given to an exposition of the story of
Jonah, showing that it is not possible
when riding on a train even at 70
miles an hour to get away from your
own shadow, so long as the light
projects from out into the night; so
Jonah could not escape the lashings
of conscience or the call of God, how
ever hard he tried nor can we escape
God even though we may not have
taken formal vow for service.
The meeting will continue through
the week with services at $3.50 a. m.
and 7:30 at night.
A mems prayer meeting in the Bible
class room will be held each evening
beginning at 7:15, at which special
prayer will be made for all requests
received.

TRIPLETS ATTRACT
MUCH attention

Much interest was created here Sat.
urday by a negro woman who was
exhibiting on the streets here three
fivt-months-old baby boys, as much
alike as three black-eyed peas. The
mother does not appear to be over
thirty-five years of age, yet she has
thirteen living children and three in
the graves. The triplets are perfect
ly healthy and as they lay side
by side, in a specially constructed
buggy while being rolled around the
city, they became the objects of much
curious attention, and many a nickle
or dime was contributed to help the
mother "clothe her boys" as she ex.
