The case OF the Sevior meeting and
talking with the woman of Samaria
at Jacobs well. was the subject for
discussion this morning.
Jesus never spoke an unkind word
to a woman. He did tell this woman
the truth about herself, showing her
that He knew all about her life. He
taught her that people must worship
in spirit and in truth. Any place is
a place OF worship II We make II so.
She was overcome by the great divine
personality and fastened to the city,
leaving her water pot. that she might
tell her friends about Jesus. The
disciples had come and noticed Him

LONDON, May 9.-The White
star express freighter Cymric. which
was torpedoed by a German submar-
inc oft the Irish coast on MondaE
afternoon, sank this morning.
Before news Of the sinking of The
G3.0O9-ton freighter was received. it
had been reported that the disabled
vessel was on her way TO an Irish
port
\ Lloyd's dispatch, received just
before noon, stated that all on board
the Cymric had been saved.
The White star freiShter, which
was under orders from the British
admiralty, and carried a cargo OF
war supplies estimated TO he worth
nearly a million dollars. was sup
posed TO be under convoy of a war
ship because Of the importance and
value of her cargo.
Ii was regarded as possible that
the attack might have been made in
the presence Of an English man-of-
war
of the sinking OF the ship was re-
ceived was that there were no Amer
lean citizens on board.
Carried Crew OF 10.
The ship carried a crew of 10
men and, in addition. five English
seamen from another ship. who were
returning from New York because Of
sickness.
The CymrIc. which sailed from
New York on april %. was COM
manded by Capt F. +. Beadnell and
carried, among other articles. the
following:
Eight cases of firearms. 13 cases
of guns, so cases of rifles. $50 cases
of gun covers, 400 reels of barbed
wire, II. 049 cases Of empty shells.
six cases of bayonets, 331 bales OF
leather. Is cases Of automobiles. $40
cases of primers, 2,1C3 cases Of forg-
inys, 40 cases os aeroplane parts,
107 cases of copper tubes. 220 cases
OF fuseheads. $500 cases of cart
ridges. lubricating oils and agricul-
tural machinery.
Word was anXiOuslv awaited as
to the fate Of members Of the crew.
Early dispatches relating to the
Cymric were mea ger and did not
say whether the explosion had killed
and wounded any of the seamen on
board
TIE freighter evidently remained
afloat ABOUT 10 or u hours after the
explosion had occurred. which would
have given time for escape from the
sinking vessel.
Difference i'm Tine.
II was recalled that the British
steamer Industry was sunk 12O miles
west Of the Irish coast by Ger
man submarine and in maritime cir
cles the opinion was expressed that
the same underwater boat which de-
stroyed the Industry sank the Gym
ric.
Although the White Star line stat
ed that the attack upon the Cymric
was made az noon. the Queenstown
correspondent Of Lloyd's telegrlphed
that the freighter was torpedoed at
