A PREACHER PROCLAIMS JOHN
JACOB ASTOR A HERO

The Rev. DR.. E. L. Powell, pastor
of the First Christian church:
God is not responsible for such a
disaster as that of the Titanic, save
to the extent that he makes man a
moral agent. God makes the light
ming, but it is for man to see wheth-
er he can so learn the laws of light
mig as to make it beneficial instead
of destructive The same is true of
the sea.
Il want to say word concerning
a SANDER, as l understand it, made
on God Almighty by some preacher
whose utterance was published in
the newspapers recently to the effect
that God sank whole ship1oad of
people in order to punish John Jacob
Aston Such a conception of God is
that which drives any man with any
sense of justice or fairness into blank
atheism.
$50 far as / can see, John Jacob AS
tor, in spite of his sins, proved he
70 in the presence of danger. A
mans true character is revealed by
what he is at his best in the presence
of emergency rather than by the COM
monpace life that he lives. l claim
that great act of self-sacrifice is it.
self ground of divine forgiveness,
and / don't believe God ever damned
a hero.
''The spirit of unselfish heroism is
the very spirit of the cross of Jesus
Christ. To my mind, the noblest ex-
amples of heroism, according to the
press reports, were by John Jacob
Astor, Archie Butt, Isidor Strauss,
and pre-eminently by the woman.
Mrs. Strauss, whose love for her hus-
band was such as led her to prefer
death with him to life without him.
Some angel of the sea must have
made peaceful and without agony the
deaths of those two who died togeth-
er bound by the imperisbable cord of
love. louisville Courier-Journal

Ernest Gill, donkey engineman
aboar dthe steamship Californian,
persists in the statement that the
captain of that steamer saw the dis
tress signals of the Titanic and paid
no attention to them. He says that
the steamer was not more than TWEEN
ty miles away, and had time to reach
her before she sank. Had the cap-
tain done so, every soul on board
could have been saved. The captain
stoutly denies the story.

MANkiND'S SUBLIME CHAPTER

The Temps, Paris newspaper,
speaking of the Titanic disaster, de-
scribes it's incidents as "Mankind's
Sublime Chapter"
Among other things it says:
"The whole world has been stirred
to the soul by the grandeur of the
acts of resignation of the passengers.
We see Col Astor succoring his
young wife, whom he adored We
see Mrs. Strauss refusing to leave her
husband and dying with him in an
ecstacy of memories of long and
happy union. The thousand untold
dramas which that night were known
only to the sea; the secrets and an
guish of hearts which the sea will
guard forever, none can imagine. But
what this unspeakable catastrophe re-
veals above all is the sublime disin-
terestedness of race which has
shown to what point it's conception of
manhood helps it to resist the temp
tations of self-preservation. to which
man naturally is addicted
THE Titanic may have represented
the embodiment of civilization, but it
was feeble and precarious, beside the
heroism demonstrated, before des-
tiny"

Would it intrust the financial cred

Would it intrust the delicate bust

The World is not seeking to force

with the political situation as it ex-
lists. We had hoped that it would not
be necessary to treat Mr.. Clark's can

western and southern democrats, but
it was compliment which we now

THE LESSON OF THE TITANIC


During the past week all hearts
have been overshadowed by the loss
of the Titanic. Yet some things shed
light even through the gloom of that
colossal sea disaster, with its terri
BILE and utterly needless waste of hui
man lives. 1t called out chivalry and
heroism in rare degree. Who can
read without emotion of the obedi.
ence given to the stern claw of the
sea" that the women and children
shall have the first chance for life-of
men putting their wives into the
boats, bidding them goodbys with a
smile, and staying to take their
chance with the ship; wives refusing
to be saved, and choosing to die with
their husbands; of a daughter yield
ing her place in the life-boat to her
mother; of a man throwing a baby
into the boat with his last strength,
before he himself sank? Chivalrous
things were done even by men who
had not been chivalrous in their past
lives, as well as by those who had al
ways been so. 1t is strange to think
of William T. Stead and John Jacob
Astor clinging to the same cake of
ice until their hands froze, and they
went down. 1t was touching to see
how many people were able to die
bravely, though they had not been
able to live bravely; but that has
been shown before, in every war and
in almost every great catastrophe.
Life is harder than death.
The loss of so many prominent men
has caused some persons to question
the sense of righteousness of the rule,
Women and children first" Most
diverse opinions may be heard ex-
pressed in regard to it, among both
women and men, suffragists and an
tbs. 1t cannot be shown that women's
and children's lives are more valua-
BILE than those of grown men; and,
as a matter of right, men have clear
ly as much right to live as women
Yet the rule rests upon a basis that
is both chivalrous and sound-the OBJ
legation of the strong to look out for
the weaker. 1t is an unwritten Law
unwritten in statute books, but writ
ten in every heart which is truly hui
man-that the strong owe considera-
tion to those who suffer under any
sort of handicap. The women and
in a sea disaster are less
able to help themselves than the men,
less able to make a raft, or to keep
themselves afioat by other means till
help comes. Out of this originally
grew the rule that they must be plac-
ed in the boats first. On the same
principle, if there are not boats
enough to hold all the women and
children, it is the women's duty tol
give place to the children. Some of
the lives saved may be worth less
than some of those lost; but it is inn |
possible to appraise the comparative
value of different human lives in the
hurry and confusion of a shipwreck, |
and the general rule of giving the |
the first chance is right.
Despite some carping here and
there the general public admires and
applauds the behavior of the men on
the Titanic. By this appalling calam-
ity the beauty OF chivalry has been
brought poignantly home to the great
heart of the people. Let us hope that
the lesson will not be wasted; and
let us all highly resolve that it shall
not be wasted upon ourselves.-Wo-
