church and some timid souls have be-
gun to fear that the church has had
its day-that it is a back number at
last. Many Of these current indict-
ments are aimed st the doctrines and
practices of so years ago, which have
been abandoned in intelligent com
munities \ generation ago.
The church is an active power and
hence it can be criticized No other in
stitution has ever been established to
work out the worlds urgent problems,
hence no exhibit can be made of the fail
ures and mistakes of the opposers and
critics of the church because they have

Ship of wealth and influence who now
rail over the narroWness of the church
will cease and grid themselves for real
service by leading their followers into
organized efforts on educational and be-
nevolent lines, what wonders may mark
the 10Th century. Indirectly the church
influences the entire community but di-
rectly we touch only a fraction OF the
people The challenge to US is to face
the worst conditions of our several com
munities fearlessly and earnestly and
stay on the job.
Mr.. Stanley mentioned several practi-
cal ways in which the great mission of
the church may be fulfilled. Quoting
from DR.. Simms he said: "A divided
church with 164 different Protestant de-
nominations presents a broken front In
the solution of the problem" We are
forming all sorts of commissions for the
conservation of our natural resources.
The last II months alone have witnessed
many conferences in all parts of the
world where all denominations got to-
gether, by representatives, and sought
the adjustment of the problem of the di-
vided church. 1t is no easy problem, but
it is becoming more and more evident
that union is not only the program of God
but n necessity in the conquest OF the
world. The challenge also includes the
conservation of the young life of the
churches and communities As the chal-
lenge of modern conditions is met there
is no reason for doubt and discourage
ment but every reason to be steadfast
and courageous.

At the time of the collision he had
had no sleep for 19 hours. He said he
could have gone to sleep before the
Monroe left Norfolk for New York. but
did not think it necessary. A num-
Der of times, he testified, he had re-
mained in the pilot house all the way
from Norfolk to New York.
Questioned as to what action he took
to find out through the wireless op-
orator the proximity of other vessels,
Capt. Johnson said he had instructed
the operator to ascertain the location
of the steamer Hamilton, which he
knew was coming down the coast. This
vessel was located near the Delaware
Capes. The Nantucket must have been
between the Hamilton and the Mon
roe, Capt. Johnson said, but the op-
orator of the Nantucket did not make
his presence known.
Capt. Johnson when asked his views
on the efficiency of the wireless in To-
eating vessels in fogs, said it was a
great help. He added, however, that
wireless operators do not bother about
messages they hear unless they are di-
rected to the ship. Some operators. he
said, do not answer questions about
the location of their ships.

inspectors has had instructions from
the department of commerce to make
thorough inquiry into every phase
of the collision, with the view. of the
enactment of federal law to assist in
preventing a recurrence of similar dis
aster.
Captain Berry, when confronted to-
day by the charges brought by the
government steamboat inspectors at
Norfolk pleaded not guilty. He is
charged with failing to reduce the
speed of his ship to avoid the collis
ion; failing to ascertain whether the
wireless operator was on duty, and
with being careless in not ascertain
ing through the wireless operator
whether any other vessels were closer
in the fog.
One OF the points brought out in
the examination of Capt. Johnson, who
was the first witness, was that he
navigated the Monroe with a steering
compass that deviated as much as two
degrees from the standard magnet
compass. He said the instrument was
sufficiently true to run the ship, and
that it was the custom of masters in
the coastwise trade to use such COM
passes. His steering compass, Capt.
Johnson testified, had never been ad-
justed in the year he was master of
the Monroe.
The Monroe's captain told the story
of the collision and was exhaustively
examined by the steamboat inspect
ors. He said the night of the collision
was alternately clear and foggy. The
collision occurred during a fog. The
first knowledge he had that the Nam
tucket was near him was when he
heard a whistle three points on the
starboard bow. He was running at
half speed at the time and stopped his
engine to locate the other ship and
blew his whistle twice to let the yes
sci know he was steering to port. He
Judged the whistle was about 375 feet
away.
Capt. Johnson's second knowledge of
the proximity of vessel was when
he saw fiashlight four points to star
board and about $40 feet away, he said.
He believed the other vessel was going
in the opposite direction to him on
parallel line, but a moment later the
ship came out Of the fog, almost at
right angles and struck the Monroe
on the starboard side after aft of the
pilot house. After he discovered the
proximity of the Nantucket Capt.
Johnson said, he signalled full steam
ahead and turned his vessel to port in
the hope of receiving only glancing
blow. as he realized a collision could
not be averted. Capt. Johnson said
there was a lapse of only two minutes
between the time he heard the Nam
tucket's first whistle and the collision.
Capt. johnson told In detail the du-
