Interior Apparatus Wrecked.
Although the defamation was ter
rifle the submarine itself, from the
outside, shows none of the effects of
the explosion, the second fatal acct
dent of it's kind in the history of the
United States navy.
The interior apparatus was badly
shattered, but so tight was the YES
sells shell that there was no means
of escape for gas which accumulated,
and it was more than an hour after
the blast before the work of recover
ing the bodies could be completed. A
ladder was blown up through the con
ming tower and fell $50 feet away.
The injured men and one body were
removed soon after the accident, but
the bodies far down in the craft could
not be reached until the gas had been
blown out by compressed air.
Rescuers Driven Out.
Soon after the explosion several
naval officers led a rescue party into
the drydock, but were partly over
come by gas fumes when they at
tempted to descend into the vessel. 1t
was then that compressed air pipes
were run into the shell and the gas
forced out.
The number of men inside the sub
marine at the time of the explosion
is not definitely known. About 20
were working on the craft, but all of
them were not in the underwater boat
at the same time. 1t is not thought
possible that any one who was inside
could have escaped injury.
Cause Not Determined.
What caused the explosion has not
been definitely decided as yet.

ELECTIVE AFFINITY
THEME OF SERMON
BY DR.. HOLMES
Large and Interested Con-
gregation at the Lyric Last
Night-SOn of DIR. Holmes
Preached at the Temple

DIR. w B. Holmes, associate pastor
of the Independent Presbyterian
church. preached an unusually strong
sermon at the Lyric last night to a
large and interested audience. His sub
ject, THE Law of Elective Affinity"
gave wide scope for most practical
and helpful sermon. The twenty-t third
verse of the fourth chapter of Acts,
"And being let go, they went to their
own company" formed the text.
1--WE see this law operative all about
u.s. said DR.. Holmes. In homely
Phrase. birds of a feather flock to-
and ambitions organize into clubs and
societies for the pursuit of the things
they love, be it music, the drama, the
poets or around whatever the interest
of the individual centers. Those of fine
and lofty ideals and aspirations nat
uraily seek companions of the same
trend of thought and the low and vul-
gar person finds his companions on
the same plane with himself.
The church OF God should organ
ize after the manner of Jesus Christ;
all the petty differences laid aside in
the one grand passion for the coming
of His kingdom on earth; letting the
oneness of mind in all Christians blot
Gu. UNCONVENTIONAL lines and sects and
creeds and make the church of God
more forceful, more useful, giving no
issue or excuse for carping critics who
stand without and find fault with the
wrangling that now so frequently ex-
lists in our churches and let men come
together upon the one large and es-
sential question upon which all agree;
Jesus Christ and his church efficient
ly conducted for the lifting UP of hui
Inanity concerning ourselves less with
the manner of worship and more with
the quality thereof"
DIR. Holmes announced that the Rev.
Dwight l.. Bayley, pastor of the Pill
grim Congregational church, would
preach at the evening service next
Sunday.
A departure from the usual at the
morning service at the Temple Emanu-
I'll was the preaching of a well pre-
pared sermon by youth of is years,
w. B. Holmes, Jr., a son of DR.. Holmes.
Speaking entirely without notes, he
preached a forceful sermon. His splen-
did delivery and his poise and pulpit
presence was remarkable In one so
young. Mr.. Holmes will return to his
studies at Maryville college He has
the distinction of being the man pre-
pairing for the ministry from the In
dependent church.
