A great deal has been said concern
ing the Titanic disaster, some OF II
wise and much of 1t foolish. But that
was to be expected; not every one is
philosopher, and all must talk. But
this is merely preliminary; what we
wanted to get before our readers was
this expression from Bishop Greer at
the memorial service in the New York
Cathedral:
And what is the message from the
sea to those who have survived it?
That is message which in the sane.
tuary of their sorrow God alone can
give. We may not intrude into that
holy place, lest any voice of ours
should make them less distinctly hear
that other voice of God!"
There is true wisdom. Too often is
there intrusion where only God and
the soul should be in communion.
In that brief paragraph Bishop Greer
made a notable contribution to the
worlds literature.-Waco Times
Herald.
