BAPTIST REVIVAL.

Congregations Larger With Each
Service and Church Crowded.
The revival at the Baptist Church
is growing in interest and power
daily.
Yesterday morning a still larger
congregation greeted the eyangelists,
and last night the church oyerhowed.
At the morning service DR.. Palmer
spoke on the same text Of the pre-
yious day. viz, mo man cares for
my SOUL" and It seemed to many OF
us that the last was better than the
first. He characterized the neglect
of the church Of today shameful.
Christ placed the responsibility OF
caring for a lost world on the church
and the church puts II where II be.
longs, on the individual church men,
bers. BY logic cad reason, by COM
parison and illustrt ton, he plead with
the Christian men and women to do
their best in reaching the lost all
about us.
The solo by Prof. Wolslagel brought
tears to many eyes. and the service
closed with resolves on the part Of
many to seek out the lost and bring
them to Jesus.
Last night people began coming to
the church nearly an hour before the
time appointed for preaching.
The song service eclipsed anything
heard there before. This part OF the
service, like the preaching, is attract
ing much attention all over the town.
DR.. Palmer spoke for forty,fiye
minutes on "Castaways." He showed
that Paul was not speaking Of saliva
tion or of a mans being lost. but OF
rewards for service. He said many
Christians become castaways, that is,
they are no longer fit for service, and
God does not use them in the building
Of His kingdom. Nations have become
castaways. viz, the Hebrew Nation.
Turkey. and among others are exam
pies Of this great truth. Churches
and individuals became castaways
when they depart from the truth The
world is full OF individual castaways.
There are poor miserable sinners that
are castaways from society who need
the sympathy and love of Christian
men and women. The Lord came to
seek and to save the lost, and His
mission has become our mission. The
sermon made a profound impression
on the great audience and great mum.
bers came forward seeking the Savior,
Eight united with the church.
Come to the meeting. Services at
10 a. m. and sp. m. daily. Everybody
invited.

of Peril.

London, Feb. -Four British mer-
chantmen, one of them the Ben Crua-
chen have been torpedoed and sunk
by the German submarine U-21 off
Fleetwood, In the Irish sea- Their
crews, compelled to take to the boats,
were rescued by trawlers. One of the
other steamers sunk was the Linda
Blanche. The British steamers Kill
coan and the Tokomaru were also re-
ported sunk
A German submarine torpedoed and
sank the British steamer Kilcoan IS
miles northwest of Liverpool bar in
the Irish sea. A dispatch from Havre
tells of the sinking in the channel of
the British steamer Tokomaru, carry
ing food supplies to Belgium, from a
mysterious explosion which is believed
here to have been caused by another
submarine. The crew of 81 men were
rescued by the trawler Hooper and
taken to Havre, where they were
landed.
The steamer Graphic, reaching the
Mersey, reported that it had been
chased by submarine, but owing to
superior speed it had managed to es-
cape. The passengers and crew were
panic stricken. Fortunately, however,
the Graphic was able to outsteam the
hostile craft, which gave up the chase
once the mouth Of the Mersey was
reached.
The members of the crew Of the
Ben Cruachen were able to save only
small portion of their belongings.
The Linda Blanches complement were
more fortunate. They were permitted
to get all of their personal effects and
to carry them with them into the
boats.
The appearance of the hostile SUBJ
marines off the west coast of Eng
land came as a surprise.
News of this latest drive by the Ger
man navy reaching London is accept
ed as meaning that from now on all
British shipping will be in extreme
danger. So serious Is the situation
considered that the admiralty has al
ready taken steps to guard all incom-
ing transatlantic liners.
1t is admitted that the policy out
lined by Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz of
the German navy of torpedoing and
sinking all of the merchantmen Of the
allies who attempt to bring foodstuffs
into the British isles was in no way
an idle threat.
Already the entire British fotilla of
destroyers has been ordered out from
the various harbors all along the
coasts. In addition the scout cruiser
fleet is searching for German subma-
rines, as it is realized that the U-21
can hardly be alone.

JOHN D., JR., is HIT
BY HEAD OF MINERS
Unrest In Talk to Federal Com
mission.

New York, Feb. T. Coming almost
straight from the office of John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., where he had a
friendly chat" with him over condi-
lions In the mines of Colorado, John
r. Lawson, a member of the execu-
tive board Of the Unite Mine Workers
for the district including Colorado,
read before the federal commission on
industrial relations on Friday a scath-
ing Indictment of Mr. Rockefeller and
the attitude he had displayed before
the commission.
The policies and purposes of the
$100,000,0O0 Rockefeller foundation
and the recent utterances of young Mr..
Rockefeller on the witness stand we're
assailed by Mr.. Lawson.
In assailing the Rockefeller founda-
ton he asserted that one of the causes
of industrial discomfort was that very
philanthropy and the feeling that the
millions spread over the world in
snowy generosity" were derived from
the money withheld from the wages
of the American working class"
Mr.. Lawson criticized young Rookie
Teller for his lack of knowledge of con-
ditions among employees of the Colo
RADIO Fuel company, and said he was
equally as ignorant and Indifferent
as his trusted executives"
Your body can we'll afford to let the
testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
bring your investigation to an end"
Mr. Lawson told the commission.
"Out of his mouth came reason
for every discomfort that agitates the
laboring class in the United States
today, and If remedies are provided
for the injustices that he disclosed a
long step will be taken away from in
dustrial disturbance"

IMMIGRATION BILL
VETOED BY WILSON
President Declares That the Literacy
Test Is Radical Departure From
Nations Policy.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The immigra-
ton bill was vetoed on Thursday by
President Wilson in message to con-
gross in which he said:
In two particulars of vital conse-
quence this bill embodies radical de-
parture from the traditional and long
established policy of this country, a
policy in which our people have con-
ceived the very character of their gov
eminent to be expressed, the very mis-
sion and spirit of the nation in re-
spect Of its relations to the peoples of
the world outside their borders. 1t
seeks to all but close entirely the
gates Of asylums which always have
been open to those who could find no.
where else the right and opportunity
of constitutional agitation for what
they conceived to be the natural and
inalienable rights of man; and it ex-
cludes those to whom the opportu-
nifty of elementary education has been
denied, without regard to their char
acter, their purpose, or their natu-
raj capacity.
Restrictions like these, adopted
earlier in our history as nation,
would have very materially altered the
course and cooled the humane ardor
of our politics.
"The literacy test and the tests and
restrictions which accompany it con-
stitute an even more radical change In
the policy of the nation. In this bill
it is proposed to turn away from tests
of character and of quality and impose
tests which exclude and restrict; for
the new tests here embodied are not
tests of quality or of character or of
| personal fitness, but tests of oppor
tunity.
eff the people of this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-
Der of immigrants by arbitrary tests
and so reverse the policy Of all the
generations of Americans that have
gone before them, it is their right to
do so. I am their servant and have
no license to stand In their way. But
I do not believe that they have.
81 have no pride of opinion in this
question. l am not foolish enough to
profess to know the wishes and ideals
of America better than the body Of her
chosen representatives know them.
only want instructions direct from
those whose fortunes, with ours and
all mems, are involved.
