THE VOLUME 9. NUMBER 302. NUMBER OF DEAD PLACED AT 1,601 Titanic Carried Down 1,595 Persons But Six Died After Being Rescued. THE COLLISION SHOCK SLIGHT Little Fear Felt But Side of Ship Was Ripped as By a Giant Can-Opener. SPEED WAS NOT SLACKENED Engines Were Doing Twenty-one Knots Although Many Bergs Were Near. New York, April 20.—Accounts of the wreck of the Titanic as told here yesterday verify early reports that were sent out. The number that went down with the ship is 1,595, but' six persons died after having been rescued, bringing the total dead tc 1,601. No bodies were picked up by the Carpathia although hundreds| were seen floating in the water. All stories agree that the shock of the collision was slight and that no alarm was felt for some time. In fact, many of the men left on the boat refused to go believing the Ti- tanic unsinkable and preferring their chances with the ship rather than in the small boats. The ship struck a submerged projecting ledge | ot the ice nerg as the main body of ice was about one-quarter of a mile away. The side of the boat was ripped open as if by a can opener, making the bulkhead system useless. Captain Smith was seen on the tridge unril just a moment before the firal plunge when he leaped into the water. The ship’s band played “Nearer My God to Thee” as the boat | sank, and all the players were lost. Mrs. Isador Straus- refused to leave Lier husband and went down with the ship. Major Butt was seen standing at the rail, smiling and waving his hat as the final big wave engulfed the Titanic. The boat sank in 2,000 fathoms of water, measuring over| two miles by land rule. J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star line, was one of those saved and he testified yesterday before the Senate committee that the bcat was making twenty-one knots an hour when it struck the berg. He said that this was not full speed but that the ship had never been keyed up to the engine limit. Mr. Ismay has come in for considerable eriti- cism in leaving his own boat in pref- erence to other passengers. The Western Union sent free of charge all messages from the Cun- ard pier oy survivors to friends or relatives. The North German Lloyd commanders have been instructed to take a course two degrees, about 125 miles, south of the regular souther- 1) course until further notice. The captain of the Carpathia stat- ed that when he arrived on the scene of the wreck he saw as many as twenty ice bergs within a radius of a few miles, some of them being 150 feet high. There appears to be con- siderable criticism of the ship’s offi- cers for running at top speed under such conditjons. The Senate committee is continu- ing its investigations and will en- deavor to fix the blame for the wreck. TURTLE RIVER. A. 0. Johnson returned last Tues- day evening from Osson, Towa, where he attended the funeral of his broth- er who died recently.

Golden Text, Matt. 5:8. 1. The Sermon on the Mount. We hear chapters 5, 6 and 7 of Matthew usually spoken of as the sermon on the mount, but a little thoughtful reading_will convince us that this portion of the Word is worthy of a title, more weighty. We have here something more than a sermon, we have the manifesto of the king. Matthew’s Gospel is that of the king- dom, and these three chapters con- tain the proclamation of the Kking. We find pyblished herein, the prin- ciples and laws of the kingdom, and the character of the subjects. The authority of the king and the suprem- acy of the lawgiver are evident throughout. Read the fifth chapter | and note that eight times “I say unto you” occurs—in verses 20, 22, 26, 28, 32, 34, 39, 44. Certainly here is the place to determine your estimate of Jesus. One of two things must be true of the | speaker here—He is neither author- ity to be recognized and obeyed, or imposture to be despised and in-| veighed. What think you of Him?; Truly, he speaks as one having 'm-‘v thority. : 2. The Message. We have here,! not a message to the lost, but to the saved. Jesus is here setting before the disciples, in word-picture, the ideal son of the kingdom, and such all shall be. well said, “At the beginning of his| career, Christ draws the picture of the person who is to be the result of | His work. This is the ideal man; whom the Saviour is to make actual by saving him from sin.” What a mistake then to present, as some do, this as the way of salvation. This is not the way of salvatio}:,| but the salvation we have in the way, that is in Him who said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” This condition is to be reached only in Jesus Christ as saviour and sanctifier, and nothing but Jesus Christ through living such a life as is here described. The eighth verse of itself is suffi- cient to shut out all unregenerate ones. Only the pure in heart can see God, and the old, natural heart is ever unchanged and unchangeable, deceitful and desperately wicked to the end. Our hope then is not in ex- periencing a change of heart, but in the creation of a clean, pure heart, which responds to God, and the eyes of which can look upon God. This is that of which Paul wrote in Eph. The eyes of the natural heart could never be thus enlightened. 3. The Location of these three chapters. This is necessary to a clear understanding and full appreciation of this portion. Note the ending of the fourth chapter, and then the be- ginning of the eighth chapter, and you will see we have a continuation. ‘We have Jesus giving a foregleam of the condition in the kingdom, the millennial kingdom, all sickness and oppression banished. Now right in the midst of this, as the very heart of it, He places the three chapters con- taining the principles of the king- dom, and the character of the sub- jects. So we learn that the condi- tions can never pievaii wntil the principles inhere. This ought to set us right on that much abused sub- ject—Divine Healing. 4. The Beatitudes. We have not here a number of different characters, each dominated by some particular virtue, but we have a composite char- acter composed of all these virtues in due proportion. These seven blesseds give us a full, complete, well round- ed out character, even the ideal son of the kingdom. But while we have the finished man before us here, wo have his life marked off in differ- ent degrees of development. No sin- ner can get into Christ through growth, for there must be life before there can be growth, but when by faith we have received life in Christ, we can grow up in all things into Him—Eph. 4:15. . Note the suggested progress. The first thing spoken of is poverty, not of purse, but’of spirit. Man enters the kingdom of God insolvent; bank- rupt. To value oneself one iota is to be not in need of grace. Following this is mourning on account of sin, then a meek, teachable spirit; then: hungering and thirsting after right-| eousness. This group of four, giving us the earth side, is followed by a group of three giving us the heaven side, the divine character manifests, itself—merciful, pure in heart, ‘mak- |the “Babcock ing for peace. 7 Now we are not surprised at what follows, for they that live godly shall | suffer persecution. We are prede- stined to be conformed to the image oi Hxs son (Ronk 8:29), and the partition wall—Father Edward Tli; [ lass, tonsion Diy, Minn Henry G.

Paris, April 20.—The steamship La France, recently completed at St. Nazaire for the French Transatlantic line, sailed from Havre today on her maiden voyage to New York. She carries a large passenger list that in- cludes maay persons of distinction. Among those on board are the mem- bers of the French mission, Headed by M. Hanotaux, wkhich is conveying to America the bronze bust of “La France,” by Auguste Rodin, for pres- entation ‘to the United States.

A Case Where Ten Cows Paid Bet- ter Than Forty-Five. A striking example of the advan- tage accruing to the dairyman from the careful testing of his cows is af- forded in a recently published syn- opsis of the work of a single Cow- Testing Association. The profit on one herd of forty-five cows, for the limited period of the test, was $122.- 21. The profit on the best ten cows included in the:same herd was $152.- 82. It.is-thérefore seen that not only did ‘the owner:feed with no return whatever, but he actually spent upon them $29.61 of the money earned by. the ten good cows. -He would have been:far better off had. he kept only the ten. It is to save the daxryman from such needless missapplication ‘of’ his| . energies, :‘and to make sure that every cow in his herd shall contri- o) bute her proportionate amoi his: gros carnings, that Cow-’l‘esdng Asfociations have Been sedlled foto exfatence.
