Corner Olivier and Eliza Streets,
w. II. Hafner, Pastor.
438 Olivier st. Phone Algiers, 24O.

Our services were we'll attended
during the Holy Week services,
especially on Maunday, Thursday,
Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. Now,
here is a puzzle. If our people can
come to services during this week,
as they have demonstrated. why cant
they come either on Sunday or Thurs
day, or on both occasions throughout
the year? Can you answer this
puzzle? The answer is very simple.
They make no earnest effort. The old
adage is true also here: Where
there's a will there's a way. Many
Of our people do not care enough for
Gods word to come and hear it and
think they can satisfy their conscience
by coming during Holy Week. This
is a terrible indictment against us, II
we don't care enough about Gods
word to hear it, 1t means that those
who don't care to hear the word o.
God lack true Christianity. Chris
tianity is not a mere name, but 1t
shows itself in your life and con-
duct. Let us not fall back into the
same old rut again. If we came to
church during the Holy Week, why
cant we come during the rest of the
year.
Did you receive your Messenger?
II the address is wrong on your Mes
senger, let the pastor know of 1t so
that it can be corrected.
The members of the Helping Hand
who are holding tickets for the Hol-

turn all unsold tickets by Thursday

Please do not overlook this matter.

FOUR STEAMERS OFF
AlGIERS IN CRASH

The swollen river and strong cur
rent around Algiers point are blamed
for a ship crash at 2 o'clock Thurs
day morning involving four vessels
anchored there.
The tanker Kewanee, of which
Norton, Lilly and Company are To-
cal agents. released from her an
ChOrage by the unusual elements
in the river, proceeded to put to
sea without the guiding hand of a
helmsman or power enough to con
troll her. Carried by the rapidly
moving stream and before anyone
aboard could lift a hand to stop her
she crashed into the steamship Omoa,
belonging to the Cuyamel Fruit Co,
anchored off the point. Both anchor
chains of the OmOa were snapped
and she joined the Kewanee drifting
downstream. After freeing herself
from the Omoa, the Kewanee con-
tinued, crashing into the Stavangeren,
A. II. Page and Co, local agents also.
The Kewanee later bumped the
Japanese steamship Chicago Maru,
of the Steele Steamship Line, but
the amount of damage to that vessel
is said to be trivial.
Word of the wild manouevering
of the Kewanee reached the Coyle
Coal Co, and three of its tugs were
dispatched to the assistance of the
vessels. The Omoa drifted approx
mately six miles downstream before
she was caught and brought back
to her moorings by the big tug De
Bardeleben. The Stanvangeren was
secured by another of the Coyle
tugs after drifting some four miles
seward. Some damage to both YES
wells is reported but it was impos-
sible to ascertain the extent as a
survey has not as yet been held.
