all people shall come."-Haggai 81.
Tue discourse was introduced with
the declaration that the only proper
contentment is that which is combined
with godliness and which sees from
the Scriptural standpoint the Divine
Power able to correct the difficulties
of humanity. The godly believer, Di-
vinely instructed. is able to appropri-
ate to himself the Divine promises
of providential care, and rests content
ed with unsatisfactory conditions.
On the other baud. the speaker de-

Socialists. so-called. These, he said,
are well-meaning souls who perceive
the situation of their brethren and then
declare that all Christians should i'm
mediately set about to secure for the
world a just division of Gods boun-
ties. While approving the love and
zeal of this class, he could not COM
mend their course; for, although they
seek to apply the principles Of Divine
Justice, they lack the Divine Wisdom
necessary to a proper application.
The ScripturaI View of Affairs.
This class were then reminded that
Divine Wisdom has not yet seen fit to
establish Divine Justice amongst men.
Those who think that this evidences
neglect on the part of the Almighty are
In error. Those who believe that the
time has come for the establishment OF
justice in all the earth should be able
/ to find Scriptural evidence to that eff
feet and point it out to us-eVidence
authorizing them to take their stand
for Socialism.
Next the world was discussed from

The Pastor showed that the Messiah

bring mankind the joy and peace which
all classes crave, but which none are
wise enough to know how to bring

BRITISH CAPTURE
TREASURE SHIP
German Liner, Carrying So
100000 Gold, Seized
1RItO TO RUN CHANNEL

Four English Cruisers Intercept the
kronprinzessin cecile That Sailed
From New York With American
Gold.
New York, Aug. 3.-The Kronprin.
zessin Cecilie, a German ship laden
with $1O,60O,OO0 American gold, half
consigned to London, half to Paris,
which was captured before she reach-
ed the English channel by four English
cruisers, was supposed to go first to
Plymouth, then to Cherbourg and then
to Bremen. She is the finest vessel or
the North German Lloyd fleet.
The Kronprinzessin sailed from the
port of New York on Tuesday ana
was called the greatest treasure ship
that has ever sailed from the new
world to the old" Her voyage, which
has ended in virtual capture, has been
one of the most perilous and p1ctur-
esque opening incidents of the Euro
pean war.
The great liner was taken before
she had a chance to try to run the
gauntlet of the English channel. The
reports received indicate that the four
English cruisers went out to meet
her, and it would apepar that they
must have come up with her as she
was steaming under forced draught
about 14O miles off Plymouth.
1t is understood that when the I'M
minence Of a general European war
was realized wireless messages from
Germany were sent to the Cec1l1e, or
dering her to make straight for Ger
man port without stopping anywhere,
in any event not stopping at French
or English port. 1t was then too late
to recall the liner, which was in mid
ocean. The Cecilie Immediately start
ed forward at full speed.
Make for Bremen without stop! Ii
you cannot make Bremen or Bremen
haven, put in at Wilhelmshaven or
Emden."
These were the wireless exhorta.
lions to the liner from Germany. Ger
many has declared war against Rus
STA; you must not stop at Plymouth or
Cherbourg."
Later wireless dispatches told the
Kronprinzessin Cecilie that France
and Germany we're practically at war
and that the chance of England be-
coming involved was great.
The messages received meant that
Germany was determined that Eng.
land and France should not have the
gold aboard. All considerations OF ag.
gression, acts of war and so forth,
went glimmering In the face Of the
millions piled in the Cecilie's hold.
It is yet uncertain whether the act
of the English cruisers Is intended as
a wholesale capture or not. II may be
that the English design is merely to
make sure of the gold consigned to
London and Paris and that after the
Cecilie has been escorted to South
ampton and her money cargo secured
she win be released and allowed to
go on to Bremen.
When the English cruisers, undoubt-
eddy the slim, dirty-gray sentinels OF
the channel feet, overlook the kron-
prinzessin and politely informed her
that they would convoy" her to
Southampton for the safety of her
gold. the German liner was just east
of the Scilly Islands, as nearly as can
be reckoned Her captain had taken
northerly course from point In mid.
ocean in order to save several hours.
