Taking for the basis of .his remarks."ilet the re- deemed of therlsord say so." found in thesech verse of the one hundred ‘ and'seventb Psalm. Mr. Pope spoke on How to Reach the People. He devel- oud the thought that we can reach people by doing more ourselves along the line of testimony; that joy that comes from any other source than the Lord Jeans Christ we do not conceal. He related several incidents that had come under his'peraonai observation . to show that every Christian can if , they will win some soul to Christ. . Mr..hloody then made an appeal in - behalf of the inmates of county jails. He said there are 3.700 such jails in the country. and during the nest nine- ty days he would like to out thousands of good books into them: he had found nothing that paid better. He told a story or two illustrating the good this work was doing. and naked if it was not Christ's work to help these men, many of whom longed for a better lite and many of whom had repented flamed to God. The only hope for men, in tail. he said. is regeneration by Jana Christ. Then Mr. Moody asked: "Are you in sympathy with these men: Those of you who are raise your hands: raise them up. Now put them right down in your pockets." "if you want to get people interested in any- thing. get them to do something." con- tinued Mr. Moody. "You will always notice people smile when they give.

Engineer Penfiald kept his hand on the throttle until the water put out his fires and he had scarcely time to run on deck and lump overboard when the boat went down. W!!! the deck hands cried as they went sin- ong the passengers. "There’s plenty of time." They managed to measure the majority of the passengers. Captain Durham saw the Chicago was doomed and he gave the command for all hands to go upon the upper deck. This created a new panic, and men and women by the doaen leaped overboard and struggled to get away from the vortex when the vessel went down. The City of Augusta found herself unable for a few moments to get out of the hole she had made. Her anchor chains were entangled in the splinters and despite her reversed engines she was unable at first to do more than pull the Chicago down stream with her. The City of Augusta's none was clear into the Chicago's hull. She fin- ally managed to get clear and backed away. No effort was made by her crew to lower boats to help the passen- gers of the Chicago. who. were then in the wlat'el; by tars“ ,m cries bc- ngpanyau e. . The tag Chaunceywbcpew reached the scene before the Chicago sunk and took thirty-five people from the ferry- boat and out‘of the water. The fire boat. the police boat Patrol the scene and did valuable work in ros- cuing people. Several small boats were sent out from the neighboring piers and in ones and twos and threes the drenched. chilled and sometimes un- conscious people were brought into the piers. where they received attention. John Bryson. who was drowned. was the driver of the United States mail lvsn going to the New York post oiilce. Besides the vehicle in Sryson's charge there were on the Chicago a truck be~ longing to the Adama' Expreas Com- pany containing $8,000 in silver here. two produce trucks. two milk trucks and one other wagon.

The tide was ebbing fast and Captain llur- ham was obliged to keep his boat head- ed up stream.

A scene of wild excitement followed. The passengers. most of whom had risen to go to the forward end of the ferry bout to be prepared to leave as she reach- ed her stop. made a wild scramble for‘ ille-preaervers.
