AID FOR THE DISTRESSED.


Alexandria is again ready to
express substantial sympathy
to the many thousands in the
middle west who are now hud-
died helpless and homeless
through no fault OF them own.
This city has ever been quick
to respond to similar appeals
not only when disaster has ov-
ertaken people in sister states,
but she has literally contribut-
ed when means of the dis
stressed have come from other
portions of the world.
Alexandria had a part in alle-
WAITING the distress incident
to the earthquake in Messina,
as well as that brought about
by the ill-treatment Of lsreal-
ties in Russia, and is now an
xious to have her part in con-
tributing to sufferers from
wind, floods, fire and famine in
contiguous states.
Announcements is made by
the First and Citizens Bank
they will receive any contri-
buttons for relief of the suf-
ferers in Ohio and Indiana, and
transmit the same promptly
through the Red Cross So
ciety.

| Indianapolis, Ind, March 27.-The
flood waters of Indiana were con-
siderably lower today, but the sever
est suffering was reported from the
Wabash Valley cities now without
food, drinking water and fuel for
three days.
A relief train reached Peru late
last night and sixty boats were en-
Gagged in carrying supplies over the
intervening water to the three thou
sand refugees in the court house.
Kokomo, Wabash, Logansport, and
Lafayette were in terrible plight,
without relief of any kind in sight.
Several persons were reported tE
have gone insane from thirst and
hunger.
Peru, Ind, March 27.-The loss
of life here is still unknown, with
more bodies being reported hourly
floating down the stream. Twelve
bodies were found in one house. One
report stated that twenty bodies
had floated as far as Logansport
and were taken from under the inter-
urban bridge there.
Reports from Logansport were
that many lives had peen lost in
that city. Several hundred inhabi-
tants had fled to the hills and
thousands of others were crowded in
school houses and churches.

South Bend. 1ndk March 27y-
The report that the Grand Reservoir
| had broken out of its banks threw
the flooded section of Indiana in the
vicinity of Fort Wayne, Peru and
| Logansport, into a reign of terror.
The Wabash river, which will be
forced to carry off the greater part
of the on-rushing flood is now the
highest in history, and if the report
proves true, it is feared that hun
dreds of lives will be lost before the
refugees have an opportunity to
j flee. If the report proves true, Pc
ru, Ind, will be under 80 feet of
water tonight. The flood already
there was thought to be caused by
the bursting of the Grand Reservoir
Tuesday.

miles lower down the valley. The

Franklin, Middletown and Hamil-

Yale Dean
DOeSHOnOr
to Nezo0rk
Dignitary Who Fills DR.. Daw-
sons Pulpit Man of
High Influence.

DR.. Charles Reynolds Brown, dean
of the Divinity School of Yale Uni
versity. preached in this city in the
First Presbyterian Church on Sunday
last and will occupy the pulpit in
the same church tomorrow and on
the following Sunday. The church
feels Itself fortunate in obtaining so
distinguished man to supply the
place of DIR. Dawson in the latter's
absence
AS soon as it was known that Dr.
Brown was to preach in Newark the
New Jersey Alumni of Yale, immedi-
ately took steps to honor the dean
in manner already exclusively
chronicled in the Evening Star. The
alumnus who took the lead in this
tribute is a well-known lawyer of
Newark and New York, whose home
is in East Orange.
DR.. Brown is regarded as one of the
great pulpit orators of the country
and as one of the profound scholars
of the Protestant Church. His deliv-
cry is fluent and forcible and his
message Is designed to go straight
to the hearts of men. His sermon on
Sunday made a distinct impression
Those who have read the books
which Dir. Brown has written are
aware how deeply he has studied the
vital questions of the day and how
pregnant with suggestion are his
words. He Is not less Interested in
the worldly affairs of men than in
their spiritual welfare.
DIR. Brown, Author.
I Among the books of which DIR.
Brown is the author, are THE Social
Message of the Modern Pulpit" '"rhe
Young Mans Affairs Faith and
Health and 1.-THE Strange Ways of
God"
The cause of labor has long inter-
ested DR. Brown and he is a regular
member of the Central Labor Council.
f. In university life and among men of
learning and influence the estimation
in which he is held may be judged
from the positions of dignity and re-
sponsibility which he has filed. He
has been dean of the Yale Divinity
School since 1911, before that DR..
Brown was special lecturer in ethics
at Leland Stanford University; in 1909
he was special lecturer in Cornell
University and in 1911 he was special
lecturer in Columbia University
His Early Life.
Dr. Brown was born in West Vir-
GINA His family removed to Iowa
in his boyhood, where he grew up on
his fathers farm. He prepared for
college at Washington Academy.

from the State, University of Iowa in
1883 with the degree A. B. He Sc
cured the degree of A. M. from the

nrhe American Meditsrranean.

Stephen Bonsab the author of this
book, knows his subject thoroughly.
He is a war correspondent of expe-
rience, Judgment and literary ability.
He was the correspondent of the New
York Herald in the Spanish-American
War and his dispatches were always
marked by lucid statement, fearless
ness and that spice of irony which
gives zest to the accounts of oper-
atoms in the field, sometimes of little
interest to the general reader. Mr..
Bonsars estimate of certain bonn
bastic figure in American contempo-
rary annals has been amply justified
by time The fact that the writer
was no idol worshiper was soon
noticed in the course of the Disgrace
full conflict and some of his most Wit
riolic satire was discharged upon this
parsonage who, in his own eyes was,
as it were, almost sacrosanct.
Mr.. BoRsal devotes some space to
descriptions of the beauty of the
West Indian Islands. but he does not
rival the pictures of Charles Kingsley
in "At Last and Westward Ho. .
or even such word painting as that
which describes Jamaica in Tom
Cringle's Log" But Mr.. Bonsafs OBJ

dulged in by those outside the body.
The Third Church was organized
in 1924, as division of the First
Church, and received by mutual
agreement two-sevenths of the prop
erty held by the First Church at that
time. This property was the residue
of the portion of land set aside by
the pious villagers who founded the
city for the use of their church and
the propagation of their faith. The
population of the town at the time
of the organization of the Third
Church was less than 5000, and the
three Presbyterian churches were
well filled. The ratio of the popula-
ton was $500 to each Presbyterian
church.
Third Church Builds.
The Third Church. to holo as many
of the members as possible. erected a
building 700 feet south from the First
Church For many years the church
es ffourished side by side. The city
grew and the church grew. The
Afro-American Presbyterian Church
was organized in 1885, and in 1897
the Central Church was organized
and erected building only two
blocks away from the First Church,
The population was 10000 and the
ratio 1000 people to one Presbyterian
church.
The Park Church was organized in
1S4S and erected a building in Park
street about midway between the
First and Second churches and very
near the Central Church The same
year the sixth Church was built
about 1000 feet east of the First
~ Int
and there were seven Presbyterian
Churches or 1900 people to every
Presbyterian church.
High Street Church was organized
in 1s49, about 1000 feet west of the
Third Church, the First German in
1851, and South Park only 1880 feet
south from The Third Church, was
organized in 1853; the population was
5000, ten Presbyterian Churches or
1880 to each Presbyterian Church.
RoseviIIe Church Arises.
Roseville was built far away to-
ward the setting sun in 1854, Sec
ond and Third German followed in
1858, and Forest Hill was erected
amongst the trees nearly two miles
north of the Second Church at Car
teret street and Lincoln avenue in
1867 The Third Church built Calvary
far to the south in 1868, making fif-
teen churches and population of
10000 and the ratio increased to a.
900 people to every Presbyterian
Church.
Apparently the Newark Presbytery
gave up the struggle to keep step
with the population; streets took the
place of stumps on the hill. and
twelve years later, in 1880 and 1881,
Bethany and Memorial were organ

years ago made an extended tour in
Egypt and the Holy Land and he is
an authority ON the subject OF Pal
estine.
In Yale University. DIR. Browns dis
tinguished position, of course, places
him high in the councils of the faculty
and among the undergraduates he is
regarded with esteem and affection.
II is this sentiment which caused the
New Jersey Alumni of Yale to wish
to do DIR. Brown special honor upon
bis appearance in a Newark pulpit.

MUSICAL NOTES.

An EngliShman, a lover of statisti-
cal investigation. has been examin-
ing the seasons concert programs in
London. much as Teufelsdroeckh ex-
amined and collected playbills. His
discoveries are significant. He finds
that Wagner figures in these pro-
grams in London concert halls 1ls
times. His conclusion is, says the
Athenaeum. that Wagner is still the
most potent factor in modern music.
and apart from other considerations.
the emotional feryor, the dramatic
intensity. and the clear issue of his
music make a stronger appeal 10
those who wage the fgbt of life
than the music of any other COM
poser. ts4
1t is. perhaps. because of the ethi-
cal quality OF Wagner's artistic
achievements that his appeal makes
so strong an impression. Wagner
thought for himself. Hence what he
evolved is the native product and
characteristic of his own personality.
Another magnet in the music of Wag-
ner is his morality. He says him.
