CUNARD Liners Narrow
ESCAPE FROM EXPLODING
MINE ON IRELAND COAST

New York, Dec. 16.-The Cunard
liner Pennsylvania, in to-day from
Liverpool with $50 passengers, had a
narrow escape from destruction by a
mine at 4 o'cloek in the morning of
December 8. During a storm off the
north coast of Ireland, two mines were
dashed together by the waves and eX-
ploded about 25 feet off the steamer S
bow.
\ fragment of steel from one OF the
mines shot across the deck of the liner
and tore away a part of the railing. 1t
then fell upon the deck and was pick
led up by one of the passengers. The
force of the explosion, it was said,
Aifted the bow of the Pennsylvania
4everal feet out of the water.
\ The Pennsylvania left Liverpool at
81 o. clock in the afternoon of Decem-
bAr 5. During the night the steamer
rah into heavy storm and many of
tho passengers were awakened by the
rocking of the ship. A few minutes
after clock in the morning a ter
rife explosion caused the ship to trem-
ble from bow to stern. The passengers
rushed ON deck.
Officers told the passengers that
nothing had happened, that what they
had heard was thunder clap. Then
the passengers found the space that
had been torn out of the deck railing
and one of them picked UP fragment
of the mine that had caused the dam
age.
Among the passengers was Sir
Charles Allom, chairman of the German
Prisoners of War Help committee Sir
Charles said he came to America TO
try to have American and other neau-
trails appointed to investigate eondi.

SPEAKS TO WOMEN.
Miss Lamont Explains Doctrine O
New Birth.

Fifteen hundred women listened to
the story Of Jesus Sunday afternoon
as told by Miss Lamont at woman 5
meeting held in the East Main Street
Friends church. She took her text
from John 3:15. Previous to her ad-
dress q song service in charge of Mrs.
McCombe was held. A quartet compos-
ed of Misses Ruth Hadley, Mary But
Ter, Gertrude Clark and Mildred Ed
wards sang a beautiful song. Mrs. I. +.
led in prayer. Mrs. Clase
was at the piano. Mrs. McCOmbe an
nounced WOman's meeting to be held
at the Tabernacle Thursday afternoon
at 9 O'Clock. Each person is asked to
wear a white ribbon or flower in hon
or of mother and home. The Rev. I. f.
Honeywell will be in charge. After the
solo by Miss Paige. Miss Lamont took
full charge Of the meeting.
The story of the suffering and death
of the Christ was told in a realistic
manner and the effect of her discourse
was noticeable at the after meeting.
Tears were brought to the eyes Of
many by her pathetic stories of hui
man interest. She said in part that

New Birth Needed.
'Ie Must Be Born Again" Miss La

of The water and spirit. She said she
had seen a picture in noted Art Gal
lery at one time which reminded her
OF the story. The picture depicted a
pole upon which was placed a brazen
serpent while around the pole were
gathered many suffering and dying
people. At one side of the picture were
people being saved because they look
ed up. She argued that this held true
today if the world would only look
up. No man is truly righteous, every
One has gone astray.

Dor as yourself you have sinned," she
continued Sin must be punished in
some way or other. In Madison, Ohio,
saw 1000 boys in stripes because
they had sin and broken not only
Gods law but mans law. Therefore
they were punished. Jesus saw the
need and bore the shame and died on
the cross to save the world. His own
people refused him and turned away
Love is a great thing and we ought to
be willing to give our love to Christ
and in a measure atone for his grief
and suffering" concluded Miss La

the game and his unusual bowling
was a sensation at the alleys. The two
teams bowled in good style.
The Timekeepers and Foundrymen

ADVISES AGAINST DELAY.
Evangelist Says Death Bed Repent
arce Amounts to NOTHING.

Trouble causes many persons to
look to God, said the Rev. Mr.. Honey
well, in his Saturday night sermon,
when he pleaded with men and wom-
en- in his audience to acknowledge
Christ before trouble overlook them.
He said that in his opinion ninety-nine
out of every 100 death bed repent
ances amounted to nothing.
You may say that you are not
ready yet and that you will wait" said
the evangelist. But what will you do
if you meet with an accident on a
train, or the automobile in which you
are riding is suddenly ditched or that
fever OvertakeS you?
Business men often say that they
have no time for religion; that when
they build up their business they will
then take time. But that time never
comes They are always building up
their business Each day new matters
of business must be attended to and
they find that they are old before they
have time to join the church. The
time is now.
THE question to discuss is not
which church you will join but wheth-
er or not you will accept Christ. Very
soon you who have not professed con-
version will cease your earthly work
and you may die without hope of God
or heaven.
Were so busy watching the neigh
bors yard that we let weeds grow
up in ours. Let us consider our own
standing. 1t makes no difference
whether we are rich or poor. Because
Napoleon was laid out in a field mar
shals uniform is no sign that he was
admitted to heaven. What will the
difference be whether we are rich or
poor when the day of judgment ar
rives? None. But there will be a diff
ference if we have not accepted Chris
tianity."
