NEW YORK. April 16-Seldom In
the history OF navigation has a steam
er carried so many noted persons as
thronged the Titanic on her maiden
trip. Hardly any of the noted pas
sengers were saved, according TO the
meagre advices available. The toll
Of death. stupendous and eclipsing
that of all previous marine disasters,
remained today inexplicably large.

theatrical world, a native OF St Louis

That Is an absolute lie and those
who make the statement know they
lie. We did not admit the Titanic
was sunk until we were absolutely
assured that 1t was a fact. We are

When Franklin was asked why the
company gave out the wireless which
II said that IL had received from the
Olympic yesterday saying that all OF
the Titanic's passengers were safely
on board the Carpathia he failed to
reply.
Besides the personal appeals for
news, the Offices were deluged with
frantic appeals, by long distance tele-
phone and telegraph. To all the same
reply was made that as soon as the
actual facts were known the news
would be made public.
II was accepted everywhere from
the start that Capt r. j. Smith, Ad-
miral OF the White Star feet went
down with his ship. For forty years
he had been navigator and for more
than twenty master OF ocean ships.
His first accident came last fall when,
as master of the Olympic he was ON
the bridge when that sister ship OF
the Titanic was smashed by the Brit
ish cruiser Hawke. Then at the out
set OF his work as commander OF the
Titanic he had encountered an acci-
dent when he just missed destroying
the steamer New York by failing TO
shut of his engines when passing her
berth at the Southampton docks.
His friends said there could be
nothing for the veteran to live for
after losing the Titanic. The very
fact that he had failed TO Sense" the
ice bergs would always have been
held against him and the men who
knew him best said he would hardly
have lived 10 come TO port even
though he had saved his passengers.

ed in history, the scenes that accom-
panied the laundering of the Titanic
on the ice banks OF Newfoundland
were marked by intense suffering and
rare heroism. according TO the few
fragmentary messages that have been
picked up by the wireless operators
along the coast.
II was a night of black terror. Sun
day had been cloudy and foggy, but
the great liner had been steadily held
on her course. Precautions were
taken to guard against accident, but
II seemed certain today that IL was
necessary TO keep considerable head
way on the giant vessel so that she
would remain manageable.
The smash came at 1925 Sunday
night. Many of the passengers were
undoubtedly in their beds at the time
but all must have been routed out i'm
mediately as Capt. Smith was too ex-
perienced a navigator to overlook any
precaution or to fail to realize that
the force OF the collision had inflicted
a mortal wound despite the confident
assertions he had made many times
that the Titanic was unsinkable. II
was black night, the thick muggy at
mosphere so peculiar TO the banks,
and the darkness redoubled the
horrors OF the occasion. The ships

TEXT. For LOVE is strong
as DEATH" (Solomon's Songs
S-6)
The question may he asked.
Why is Love strong as Death?
And the first answer we must
give is this, please read. "Eor
God is Love" Il John | = -
For this reason we shall make
the language q little stronger,
and that will be in this manner.
For Love is stronger than
Death. And it was for this rea-
son Paul said oh death where
is thy sting Again Paul said.
! Death is swallowed up in vic
tory" This victory was gained
thru Christ, for this reason John
said that God so Loved the
world that He gave His only oe.
gotten Son, that whosoever be.
lieved on him should not perish,
but have EVERLASTING LIFE"
BY this we learn tnat LOVE is
stronger than death. Because
God is Love. And then God
sayes this. ""Recause the LOVE
of God is shed abroad in Cur
hearts by the Holy Ghost which
is given unto u.s." from. 5 s.
In this God is made manifest in
US. We show then to the world
that we have passed from death
unto life because we love the
brethren" This convinces US,
and not only US, but the whole
world, the power there is in
PURE LOVE Wa at one ,lme was
without this LOVE. Then our
love was for money Such love
is the ROOT OF ALL evil. And
there is not the least doubt in
our mind. That at times igsthe
sight Of men. perhaps our aia to
possess this PURE LOVE has been
as hidden, as tho it never existed
yet in our inmost soul, We have
Kept in view. and ever longed to
attain 10 that degree ofits inspir'
alton, that we could practically
and daily apply it in our walk
and conversation and III our daily
avocation, that in all our associa'
tions, that it would be manifest
ed to the eye and feeling Of
sympathy; that men would have
to say, LOVE worketh no i'll to his
! neighbor. We are more convin

sUPERINTENDENT's NOTES.

County Superintendent ]. ]. Koch
Ter attended the local institute of
Manchester township on Saturday.
1t was held at Braman and all
teachers of the township, except two,
were present. A preliminary spelling
contest was held in connection with
the institute.
The spelling contest, which has
proven to be very popular this year,
will be continued in the future in
Wayne county.
In travelling through northern
Wayne county the superintendent of
schools notes a number of repairs be-
ing made on schools. Several have
been repainted, others reshingled,
new windows cut in and the property
adjacent to the buildings given prop
er care. This is commendable. There
ought to be more repairs made. 1t
is a mistake to let school property
run down.
The annual teachers institute will
be held in Honesdale November II
to l . inclusive.
