Written By Fanny
Crosby Sung at Eve--
ning Service
Dr. Anderson made an earnest
plea at the Tabernacle service last
night for the consecration of time
to the Crusade during the next four
weeks. quoting a business man of
the city who said: .
“I am very busy; but ,I Consider
this crusade of the greatest import-
ance. and I am going to give my time
to that now. and take care of my
business later."
The increasing congregations at
both afternoon and evening services
indicate a. similar feeling and pur-
pose on the part of many. The
numbers last evening were swollen
by delegations from New Canaan
East avenue M. E. church. a Stan-
dard Bearers' society of young ladies.
and several Sunday school classes
one of whom was greatly appreciat-
ed and applauded. viz. four lads
called “The Live Wire Class."
Messrs. Grimes and Hartley sang
in both services one of the last
hymns ever written by Fanny Cros-
by. a very sweet song with this re-
train;
“A star in the cloud I see:
A star in the cloud for me.
That shineth nbovc,--
A beacon of Love.
And leadith my soul to Thee."
Every one enjoys the sons service.
Hartley and Grimes’ special num-
bers, and the song rendered by the
chorus; and it wangood to hear the
great audience sing "Faith of our
Fathers" whiclrthough written by
a. Roman Catholic is known and lov-
ed by every Protestant Christian. ‘
An interesting feature of the after-
noon meeting are the reports on
Tuesdpy and Friday of the cottage
prayer meetings that have been held
in the morning. These show an in-~
creasing attendance.

“The activity within mi walls of

LONDON, Sept. 30.-—(Al‘). All res-

unfavorable weather conditions.
in a message today to the Submarine
Ibis-e here.
The message from Admiral Chris-
ty, who is in charge of the fleet
working over the spot where the
Sufi went down last Friday night
llflf‘l' being rammed by the steamer
City of Rome. was very brief. it
said: “l‘rcscnt weather conditions
Soil! make operations impossible."
This was the first word to come
from the rescue fleet since late last
night. with the exception of a bricf
weather report transmitted by the
submarine mother-ship, Camden.
The weather report indicated that
diving operations at least could be
resumed early today.
Plans to make another attempt to
raise the submarine by the two joint
cranes. Monarch and Century. have
been tthIIthl. when the lumbering
crafts were forced to return to New-
port. early today. after a midnight
attempt to join the rescue fleet.
’l‘lIe cranes were being held in
readiness. however, to proceed at
once if conditions moderated Infil-
cicntly.
Rear Admiral Cliristy has re-
fuscd to give up hope that some of
the men who went down with the
ship are still alive and his feeling is
shared by Captain 1:). .l. King. com-
mander of the Submarine Base.
Many of the other officers sor~
rowfully admit. however. that they
can see little chance of any sur-
vivors being found, particularly with
the elements delaying the rescue
work still further. ‘
Forty deep sea divers are aboard
the boats of the rescue fleet anxious
to aid in the effort to reach the sun-
ken submarine before all hope is
abandoned.
Several trips were made to inc
ocean floor yesterday. The divers
clcnrcd away debris and took other
steps to enable them to continue
the seagch of the hull more expe-
ditiously.

ing used to pII‘mp air into the S—51

under-water workers are made fa-
miliar with all parts of submersi-
bles and given an' opportunity to
try out the various openings with
their diving suits to .determine
whether these passages can be safe-
ly negotiated below.
The message from Admiral Chris-
ty announcing suspension of opera-
tions caused no great surprise to
naval officers. '4 notwithstanding an
early message from the mother ship

weather conditions that! improved
considerably over night.
