GLOBE TROTTER HERO
OF THE DAYTON FLOOD
Letter to The Star Tells How
He Saved Lives of an
Entire Family.

An echo of the recent flood days in
Dayton, Ohio, crosses the trail of story
printed in The Star of February ). 1912.
in a communica ton received today by The
Star from Thomas Warren of los Gay
street. Knoxville, Tenn. in which Mr.
Warren says he desires to call attention
to the herosm of a man who saved his
life and that of his family during the
calamity.
The man he writes of, Edward Carlow
of North Adams, Mass, visited the Office
of The Star February ., 1912, on his way
home to Massachusetts,, after a remark
able trip around the world without funds.
the third of the kind he is said to have
made. Mr.. Carlow said then he intended
10 go home and settle down, after having
gratified to the fullest extent the rowing
disposition which had taken him into so
many of the queer corners of the earth.
But that the call of the road is in his
blood, and that he did not settle down,
but is off on another trip and turned up
in Dayton, Ohio, just in time to be of
service to the stricken people there, seems
to be shown by the letter received today
by The Star from the man he saved Car
low, who is an Englishman by birth, has
cotton mill worker. but the call of the
road doesn't let him stick long in one
place
When Carlow Was Hero.
The letter is. in part. as follows;
To the Editor Of The Star:

Memphis, Tenn, April with the
Mississippi swelling to what will prob
ably be the highest stage in its his
tory and the flood beating with it's
greatest force against the embank-

along the Reelfoot levee west of Hick-
man, KY, the only report from the
levee workers last night that might
be regarded as unfavorable came from
Bigges, Ark, south of this city, where
a boil" developed Sunday. Officials
of the St. Francis Levee Board, who
have supervision over this section, of
the levee, expressed the opinion, how
ever, that the situation there was not
serious and the trouble would be
quickly remedied. Additional men
will be dispatched from Memphis for
work on this stretch of levee today.
United States Engineer Hinton, who
is directing the. fight along the Reel
foot levee, reported that the embank-

The rise during Sunday was six
tenths of a foot. The crest of the

Strong PLEA FOR.
Higher STANDARD
REV. F. D. KING PREACHED TO A
LARGE CONGREGATION OF MEN
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

The service for men held at the
First Baptist church Sunday afternoon
was attended by crowd which nearly
filled that large church.
The services were under the direc-
tion of Rev. F. D. King and l. e. Rey-
nolds, the singer.
The singing of old songs was par
ticipated in by nearly every one pres
ent, and the songs were greatly en-
joyed.
Rev. F. d. King preached on the
temptations of men and annuonced
that his subject was Adam in Town
Again" Mr.. King said that Americas
greatest need is men; men with strong
we'll developed bodies, men with pure
minds and strong wills.
Men are tempted on every hand
every day. The first great temptation
is the ordinate desire to make money,
which if indulged leads to wrongful
and often criminal means. Another
great temptation for men is the Club.
Some Clubs" said he, "are mere
drinking places and gambling rooms.
If a club is all right stand by it, but
when it becomes a gamblers den or a
saloon l condemn it."
Another great temptation is the
dance, as dangerous for men as for
women. He never knew a man who
was a habitual dancer who amounted
to anything,
Referring to the social evil, the
preacher said that every city that
loves its young men, should drive out
it's red light evil. He paid his respects
in no uncertain terms to the "gir
hunter" and said God save our daugh
ters from that class"
Mr.. King contended strongly fol
the same high stondard for men tha
men fix for their women and invoked
as the only safe guide the application
of the "Golden Rule, which is do al
you would be done by.
At the close of the service thu
preacher asked all present who be
lieved in a hieh standard of purity TO
men and who would join in cryini
down and driving but moral evils t
stand up. Ninety per cent of thos
present rose 70 their feet.

Mrs. Dean one morning was wait
ing for Norfolk and Western train
here, destined for Cane Brake. She
had just checked her trunk and when
my wife arrived at Cane Brake she
discovered the trick of the low down
lover. She then started on a hunt
for her missing trunk. The trail led
through a number of small towns in
this State, and finally Mrs. Dean
caught up with Curry. She demanded
her trunk check, and when Curry re-
fused she called in the assistance OF
the police. The check was turned
over to her, she secured her trunk
and she is now at home ready to

PARADOXES OF
LIFE and LOVE
BISHOP BRATToN breaches TO
TWO CONFIRMATION CLASSES
AT TRINITY CHURCH.

Bishop Theodore DuBose Bratton OF
Mississippi officiated at the conflrma-
tion of ten young girls at the morn
ing service and three adults at the
church Sunday.
The music at morning prayer, includ-
ing two beautiful solos on the new
pipe organ, was particularly inspir-
ing and sweet. The largest congrega-
tion ever gathered in the new house
of worship heard Bishop Bratton, who
is admired in Hattiesburg not only by
the people of his own congregation
but also by many members of the
other churches.
The Bishop chose as his text the
twentieth verse of the second chapter
of ST. Paul to the Galatians: Il am
crucified with Christ: nevertheless
live; yet not l, but Christ liveth in
me: and the life which l now live in
the flesh live by the faith of the Son
of God. who loved me, and gave him
self for me-"
This verse was called a double par
adox of the Bible and other similar
paradoxes of the Bible were referred
to- This double paradox represents,
said the Bishop, the two sacrifices or
sacraments of the church, baptism and
communion. One is that of death
and life, the other is that of love
The law of change is as potent in the
natural world as in the spiritual, re
presented by the growth of plants, the
growth from childhood to manhood
the change from private to public ser
vice, in welded life, the mothers life
the life of John the Baptist, of st
Paul, and it's most perfect expression
in the life of Jesus. In the transfer
nation from the old life to spiritua
life the superficial dross vanishe
when the new birth comes, and tn
ambitions of the material life mus
be forsaken for the spiritual life. Il
attaining this higher life great strus
giles must be endured. The old life
useless because aimless, and aimles
because purposeless. Only as Chris
lives in one and self dies, does tn
work of the hands and the mind b.
D come perfect. A realization of th
reincarnation of Christ in self is th
l. chief purpose of life. The create
work of life is the change going {
daily in each soul.
The Bishop said that it is folly
, philosophize on the paradox Of Ii
. and love. It is call in life to sha
, in the Masters ministry and to sha
> in fighting the great battle OF hunt
