Mir. White died in 1881, but Mrs. White kept on with her revelations.
 A paragraph from a story given out in official quarters as to her remark able powers, reads:
 While in vision sine was repeatedly examined by skeptics. unsympathetic physicians, and by one physician con vsrsant with spiritistio manifestations, who had boasted that he could i'm medately bring her out of vision, but who was compelled to leave the house in alarm. Other men had the same experience. Mirrors and candles have been held before her mouth while talking, showing no indication of breathing. One skeptical man held her nostrils tightly closed with hand over her mouth for ten minutes with out in any way affecting Mrs. White. At times she arose and walked the floor talking of what she was there beholdlng."
 She believed in the ultimate ami. hilation of the wicked and in the sleep of the dead until the final judg- ment. She travelled extensively. Be- sides covering all of the United States, she spent two years in Europe, and nine years in Australia, seeking con verts to her faith.

N0TEDAOVENT|ST DIES AT ACE
 0F 87

ST. HELENA, Cal, July l7.-Mrs Ellen c. White one of the founders of the denomination known as Seventh. Day Adventists, died here today. She was one of the converts of William Miller, who In the early '40s aroused thousands to belief in the speedy ad vent or second coming of Christ. Ac cording to information given out by the North American Division Confer ence of the Seventh-Day Adventists Mrs. White was considered by prac tieally all Seventh-Day Advenists az their prophecies.
 Born in Gorham, Cumberland County, Maine. November 26, 1927, she had lived to the advanced age of S7 years. Her name was Ellen Gould Harmon, and she was one of eight children, who, like their parents be- came staunch Methodists in New Eng land. At the age of g years, the giri, Who had shown remarkable mental powers, was struck in the face by a stone which a schoolmate, In sheer wantoness, had thrown at her, frac- turing the nasal bone and resulting in an almost fatal Illness and permanent disagreement. The calamity, which made her almost unrecognizable among her friends, wore upon her heart, and she turned with great yearning to the worship of Christ.
 In March, 1S40. she first heard Will liam Miller, Baptist evangelist, tell of the second coming of Christ, which he was then predicting for l843. Sht was greatly stirred by the svangelistic message, and consecrated her life towards spreading 1t, and, as she claimed in December, 1844, God gave her vision of the second coming of Christ, and added as her interpreta- tion of the Bible that 1t was her duty to observe the Seyenth-Day Sabbath, as she believed 1t was so observed by Christ, She and her husband, whom she married about this time and who was one of the believers, therefore began the observance of the seventh day, and taught this In their meetings which eventually were held all over the country. While they believed that Christ's coming was near, they did not believe that men knew the

ANOTHER PASSENGER VESSEL IS ATTACKED

NEW YORK, July 17.-The British passenger steamer Orduna which arrived here today, brings a thrilling story of an attack made upon the vessel by a German submarine, both shells and torpedoes being fired, and race for life in which the Arduna won. All this took place in full view of the passengers of the Orduna who were on deck at the time.
 The story told by the Orduna has been received here with the most serious apprehensions, it was felt that the Germans had ceased to attack passenger ships until the negotiations pending between the United States and Germany had been determined. There were twenty-one American passengers upon the boat, the lives of all being in extreme danger Fortunately the ship escaped being hit by either the torpedo or the shells. No warning given by the submarine, and the attack on the vessel was like a lightning stroke out of clear sky.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 17.-The attack on the Orduna, the details of which were immediately wired to the State Department upon the arrival of the ship in New York, has caused tremendous sen sation among the government officials, and has dis tinctly shocked them. It'was but yesterday that Lansing had conference with Bernstorff the Ger man ambassador, in which the latter assured the Secretary of State that the attack made on the Lusitania would not be repeated on any other pas senger ship. The belief had taken shape here and was rapidly growing into conviction that while Ger

 On February 13, 1915, Mrs. White met with a severe accident at her home near St. Helena, Cal. She tripped and fell, breaking the bone in her left thigh.

Cnlet Executive Says His thoughts
Are Mortssged Beyond Recall For

His Liberty.

Washington. President Wilson
expressed his view of the gravity of
the international situation which con
fronts the United States to delega-
tion of Virginians, who asked him to
visit the Manassas battlefield late this
month.
I'VE are all hoping and praying that
the skies may clear" said the presi-
dent, but We have no control of that
on this side of the water, and 1t is
impossible to predict any part Of the
course of affairs"
The president was reminded that
some time ago he had promised TO 80
10 Manassas to dedicate a tablet
When | made that promise" the
president told the delegation, things
were just beginning and a great many
things have happened since which

up so suddenly and have to be
handled SO promptly, and sometimes
with 80 much thoughtful discretion
that really dare not let my thoughts

Genuine Happiness.

A fact concerning modern religious
activity, which seems to have escaped
general remark, is that Christians
know better how to play than ever
before. In the normal times OF re-
cent years a visitor at one OF the sum
mer conferences of the student Young
Mems Christian association, for In.
stance, would be surprised and de-
lighted at the hearty good times which
the delegates enjoyed. Christian En-
deavor, too, has taught young people
how to play. The whole conception
of recreation and its place in life has
received new attention Of late years.
Anybody who is seeking for 1t may
find abundant evidence that there is
more genuine happiness and intelli-
gent pleasure among Christians than
among the followers of frivolity.-
