The constable brought him to the po- lice headquarters, but requested Cap- tain D, J. Twomey to release Wheel- er as soon as he had sufficiently re. dovered from the effects of tk\: in« toxicahts to be allowed his Iliberty, and the constable promised to go on ‘Wheeler's bond for appearance in court on Monday morning.

EMERGENGE MET BY CREATIVE POWER Of America For War Time Needs, Says Rev. C. H. Ricketts. The Sunday afternoon “get togeth- er” at 5.30 at the Y. M. C. A, yee- terday attracted a large number of sailors, a féw soldiers and civilians. After selections. by Swahn's orches- tra, finely rendered, sevéral war and patriotic songs were sung, a brief prayer was offered and Rev. Charles H. Ricketts delivered a popular ad- dress which greatly delighted the ns- sembled company. In part Mr. Rick- etts said: “I want to speak to you today on “The Creative power of Emergency.’ We are ap: to feel that God is dead. but He is not; He is nct v to abdicate in favor of Wil 2nd. “It is wonderful how the Almightv always furnishes the man needed for great emergencies; when the time came that a new power was needed Watts discovered it in steam, and Ful- ton made use of it just at the oppor- tune time. When God needed a great man to deal the death blow to slavery, He found Lincoln, and how wonder- ful'v he fitted in to the plan of the Almighty. “When the war broke out wé won- dered where we could secure the nec- chemical for work on ste: and nickel, for we had been com- nelled to depend on Germeny; just at the right time, a quiet man in Ameri- ca said, ‘why can't we make this chemical™ and he gathered some men about him and the chemical was made: when a submarine detector was need- ed. the man in our country inventel it: whén it needed sraphite, and could not get it from Germany where we had formerlv secured it a Yankee suggested that we might make it in this countty, ahd graphite was mada and no more will we denend on Gar- many. When we entered the war, we were much worried what to do about where we would secure the dves so necessary for use, for some time it ‘was an exgesdinglv puzzling ques- tion, but just at the richt time we hegan to make it in America, and now Vver one hundred factories are mak- ing dves of a better quality than w= formerly secured from Germanv. I like to think that back of all thes: discoveries is Almighty God, and sn while we have thought at times that our faith was weakening, we can take courage in the fact that God is al ways on time, and he will never fail 1o co-operate with those who strive to do His will. We talk about religious things: you men are doing religious work in offering vourselves for vour country just as surely as is the maa who preaches in the pulpit.” Following the address, an enjoya- ble Junch was served frea to all. by the ladies of the Greeneville Communi- ty Workers’ assoclation, and the boys expressed in unmistakable terms their deep appreciation of the kind treat- ment they had received. Mr Ely, till recently bovs' secretary of the local Y. M. C. A, was in town over Sundav and led the singing in an efficient manner. OCEAN BEAGH NOTES.
