And Ruth said: Entreat not to leave thee,

While the Titanic was helplessly sinking in
the icy water of the North Atlantic, its decks be-
came the stage for infinite pathos and APP
palling tragedy than the world will know.
But the moves sereney through the heav-
ems, above icebergs. mountains and valleys, one
enacted on that memorable night of tragedy
causes the pail of tragedy to vanish and throws
the effulgence of noble sentiment around the
world 1t was a that. in these latter days
ought to be sung to the world by poetic genius
it ought to be preserved by the brush in the hand
OF the master painter.
Reference is made to the in which
Mr. and Mrs isador Strauss an aged and dis
tinguished couple, met death. The last seen of
them was just before the final lunge of the Titanic
into the sea. They standing locked in each
others arms. awaiting the grim inevitable. While
the feboats were being loaded with women and
children. Mrs Strauss urged TO seek her
safety. Her husband urged her to go. Finally

her to enter ifeboat. She threw her arms about
her aged husband and they could not tear her

all who live above the sordid Municipalities of life
In this day, when domestic diseord, divorce and
progressive poygamy are continually paraded be-
fore the world in the public print when the
cynic and the social anarchist join in eontemptu-
attitude toward the marriage covenant; when
marriage is declared by law to be mere civil
contract when papers like the Fresno Republican
declare that the family unit has ceased ia
exist IN law; when disntegraton Of the home Is
threatened by the pressure of the problems OF
modern society-facng, as do. all these things
the marital loyalty of the StrausSes reminds MS
that although the anchor of saving sentiment
may have dragged. IL is not lost The sentiment
Of marital oneness which the Creator planted IN
the hearts Of the father and mother of the rae,
is still the deepest sentiment in the lives Of the
pure and the brave
