DEAL. England. Nov. 21.-Life boat
.rews from the Deal and Walmer
rtations today succeeded in rescuing
ell passengers and members of the
c,ew of tie stranded American
steamer Sibiria.
The Sibiria struck the Goodwin
sands late yesterday. All through
the night the waves mercilessly
bounded the vessel, passengers and
crew taking to the bridge and waiting
for aid that life boat crews could not
give them in the face of the noun
famous seas.
Life savers from the Deal, Walmer
and Kingstown stations fought all
through the night and through most
of today to bridge the gap OF swirl
ing waters and take the men and
women off the ship. Two or three
times the life boats were capsized in
this surf, several life savers narrowly
escaping drowning. Late today,
however, the Walmer crew succeed
ed in getting a line aboard the
Sibiria.
The American vessel was only one

FAITH, TOPIC
OF REVIVAL
Rev. Steffey. breaches Interesting Ser
mon Last Evening-After-
thoughts Tonight.

The sermon subject for this even
ing in the revival services being held
in the First Methodist Protestant
church will be "After-thoughts." A
splendid Monday evening congrega-
ton greeted Rev Steffey last even
ing and listened intently to the SER
mon on 1.-THE Power Of Faith In
introducing the subject, the speaker
said: 1.-THE miracles of Jesus were
not so much for the conviction of the
,unbelieving as for the confirmation
of the believing. If we believe in
Christ on other grounds, then his
miracles will serve to establish and
instruct our faith. 1t is not the mere
ly wonderful features OF miracles,
but rather the moral and spiritual
truths they exhibit and illustrate
which really bless men. And so we
find that they are always called
signs or mighty works.
Faith in earthly things rests upon
some ground Or reason. So also must
spiritual faith-the faith that bears
relation to eternal salvation. This
kind of faith may rest upon four
things-a statement, a person. doc
trine, or character. But the high
est ground of faith is trust in per-
son. 1t was trust in a person that
made men apply to Jesus for physi-
cal, mental, and spiritual healing,
either for themselves or for others.
So it is. today! In one way or an
other saying faith is reliance upon
the living, .redeeming, sanctifying per-
son, the, Lord Jesus Christ. Our
ground Of faith Is Jesus himself-not
doctrine, but Jesus; not man, but
the man. I have no time for reli-
gion whose founder did not die and
rise again. And neither have I any
time for religion that robs men Of
their faith in a personal Saviour
the man, Christ Jesus"

tivity is the better trench ally for de-
fensiye or offensive operations. The
beginning of cold weather sees the
allies better situated along the west
ern front because they have estab-
lished strong artillery positions on
high ground for shell blasting opera

Hitherto it has been uphill fighting
for the Anglo-French armies. During
the winter they will have more down
hill work to do.
Along the Greek frontier, the ad-
vantage also rests with the allies. be-
cause their lines of overland com
munications are much shorter than
the German-Bulgarian lines. This fact
is capable Of very effective use when
winter storms begin to interfere with
the smooth movement of supplies to
the front.
In Rumania the advantage is with
the TeutOns, because the Ruman1ans
can obtain guns and ammunition only
from Russia, where the supply is not
