as she went down to the main deck
and started for the bridge, where the
captain still stood granite-faced and
looked to windward; and all his
officers looked everywhere except at
him and at his wife as she came up
to him.

schedule, Harry" she asked very
quietly
The captain dug his gnarled hands
deeper into the pockets of his uni
form jacket and tilted the oak leaves
of rank that graced his cap. Il think

said.

shoal.
II still don't see why we couldn't

MIR. Blamely, the senior first mate,
started to say something, but the
bosun beat him to it. Jones'. he
croaked, you've been needing a
punch in the jaw for a long time,
and you'll get it if you talk any
more. We're docking at noon with
two thousand passengers and the
mail, and you can get tight and play
the girl friends. That's very swell :.
The old mans lady understood, and
it's about time you did"
MIR. BLAMELY coughed and took
over, while the gale roared about
him
"Yes, it's about time. JONES' he
said bitterly. "A master can't take
chances not with two thousand
passengers and the mail e.. and us

Then he took last look at the
roaring shoal and touched his cap in
salute.

The captains wife on the bridge,
who was watching him, unconscious

The Canton Prince docked at noon
on schedule - two thousand pas

underwriters were greatly interested
in hearing that a freighter had gone
down with all hands that morning.

He swore -. never mind"

moment and then went on, that
it's too great a chance to ease closer.

Her gloved little hand struck the
rail hard.
Her body, still slender and young
within the wind-whipped coat. stood
out as she faced the gale: only her
gray hair. lightly curled under her
black beret, and the lines around
her firm lips and the wrinkles about
her steady gray eyes betrayed her

"Yes, ma am" The bosun choked
and turned away. He didn't want to
watch the face of the captains wife;
nor did the senior first mate. So they
stared bleakly at the bridge. and all
the men of the port watch stared
somewhere else too.
The Canton Prince dropped to a
swell and her keel grated ominously.
For a moment it seemed that she
was going to crack, but she rose un-
hurt; there was quickening of the
engine beat, and she eased further
out to sea.
Mr.. BLAMELY took a look at the
freighter and WINGED at the final sea
that engulfed her. broke her, and
sent her fragments of men and her
self sticking shoreward through the
roaring surf.

calmly, that's about all" She stag

widespread American philosophy OF
getting something for nothing. Mr..
Emery called upon the iithographers

SALEM TO OBSERVE 2ND
ANNIVERSARY OF PASTOR


The Salem Baptist Church will
observe the second anniversary Of
their Pastor the Rev. J.. c. Wade
starting at 3 p. m. Sunday July
14th thru Sunday July 21st. We
cordially invite the entire city in
Guiding the members and friends
of all churches to share in this
glorious occasion in honoring this
most inspiring and progressive
leader who in the two years of his
pastorate here the church has
more than doubled in membership
and has been acclaimed as being
the most spiritual church in the
city as well as the most active.
Aside from accommodating the
largest bank deposit in its history
we take pride in stating that Sa-
lem carries the largest following
of young people, actively engaged.
Aside from having all the regu-
lar departments well organized,
we have three (3) regular choirs
namely the the senior, the junior,
the young peoples, the mems cho-
rus, a Sunday School chorus, and
an orchestra. Rev. Wade began
preaching as a youth in April 1881
with the st. Andrew Baptist Chur
CHI Tulsa, Okla and was ordained
in 1882. His first oh was from
the Fountain Baptist Church in
haynes, Okla. where he served for
two years. He prides this charge
as it was the oldest church in the
state being now 113 years old.
Knowing that his education was
limited, he resigned and went to
Memphis, Tenn. entering Howe In
stitute for three years. He was
united in marriage to Miss Mary
Frazier of Memphis in December
1885, out of which wedlock came
four children. Working by his side
willingly, much praise and credit
is due his very modest and COM
posed wife.
In Sept. 1885 he was called 70
the Middle Baptist Church, White
Haven, Tenn. In 1887 to the Shiloh
Baptist Church, Court Avenue, in
Memphis where he served eight
years. In Aug 1910 he was called
and accepted the pastorate Of the
Riverside Baptist Church, Mem
phis from which he resigned to
take his present pastorate Of the
Salem Baptist Church here.
In addition to his PASTORAL du-
ties. he has served as an evange-
list during his entire ministerial
career. He served for six years as
secretary of the Aid Benevolent
Association in Memphis; three
years as vice-moderator of the
White Haven District as well as
being a member of the executive
board of the Missionary and Ed
ucational Convention Of Tenn.
He has remodeied all of his for
mer pastorates and has extensive
plans for the remode!ing of the
1,aiem Church hhere as soon as
materials are ava.lt'--
