PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic. --A sinner condemned.
I. By righteous example.
II. By the Voice of couscience.
I, By righteoue example. Saul, the
king of Israel. was bound to David by
every tie of gratitude as the man Who
had sieved hie Lire and kingdom; Yet
his kindness had been shamefully abus-
ed, and evil had been returned for
good. For three years David had lived
the life of e fugitive, and in many
ways and places lied sought to ineter
himself against the unrighteous and
vitilees wrath of Saul. David was
deeply conscious of being a_ loyal, lov-
ing subject, free froin ambition or de-
sire to do other than good to his king.
Ile referred to having spared Saul's life
as an evidence of this. His aim was
not so much to afford a further vin-
dication ,of himself, as to stay the per-
secution of Saul, an.d to induce him to
act in accordarice with -his former sol-
emn oath, when David's innocence
with reepeet to any evil design against
Saul was tulle vindicated, David as
much desired that Sail ehould stand itt
right relations to God as that lie him-
self should be delivered from evil. All
the former reason's for avenging him-
self still existed, and in greater force
because 01 the additional sufferings be
had endured David had a golden op-
portunity, and made golden use of it,
for 116 refused to avenge himself, but
suffered his enemy to depart unharm-
ed. Forbeal ee .was mightier than
weapons of war. He gave two reasons
why he would not destroy Saul or per-
mit others to do it, First, it would be
a slain affroat to God's ordinance. 11
would also be a sinful auticthation .of
God's providenee. The principle upon
which his conduct toward Saul was
btsed was an unbounded reverence for
God as the source of all power justice
and excellence, a profound respeet for
every authority that was ordained of
Clod; due subordination to the claims
of (led and the entire subordination of
personal claims. His faith in God
yielded the fruit of forbearance and
compassion. David could have destroy-
ed Saul, but he would not. David con-
quered Saul as surely as he conquered
Goliath, but his greatest victory was
over his own spirit. Abishai had said,
"Thine enemy," but David said, The
Lord's anointed," Here were two dif-
ferent views of the same man, David's
view -point governed his conduct. The
quality of charity is of pricelesa Value,
and its exorelse shows the greatness
of him who pcssesses it,

epeech was thoroughly suited to shar-
pen Saul's conseience and lead him to
give up his enmity if he stillLiomodang

ence and self-will, and more especially
upon his recent persecutions of David,
Saul declared he had sinned. His his-
tory justified his expression of "play-
ing the fool," inasmuth as hie public

lie had yielded to the impulses of
Paseion and obeyed the dictates of a
selfish heart with no regard for the
consequences. Saul wined to have ev-
erything in his favor at laet to declare
Itis folly, and all because of his failure
to follow God at all net and against
all eelfish Inclinations. He admitted
his error, but took no steps to tura
his confession to practical advantage,
tis tendenciee were not altered by his
iuterview with David, therefore his re-
cognition of right failed to become a
power over his conch:et in the succeed-
ing days. There were indieations in the
interview of increased obduracy in
his heart. He acknowledged the con-
trast between David's conduct and his
own. He turned back froni his pure
suit, as he had done before, but he
did not reinstate his son-in-law nor
renete hen of the harassing sense ot
Insecurity. His confession did not
ellange his eharacter nor delay his

The body of Charles Frohman, the
New York theatrical producer, has
been identified in the temporary

and it is practically certain that
among the other well known eersons
to perish were Alfred Gwynne Van-
derbilt, Charles Klein, the playwright;
Dr. F. S. Pearson, Justus Miles For-
man, author and playwright, and Mr.
and Mrs. Elbert Hubbard. It has
been impossible to find these bodies

There were 59.9 in the second cabin,

Practically all of the survivors are

ENQUIRY ORDERED.
It is officially announced that the
British Board of Trade, with the con-
currence of the Admiralty, has ordered
an enquiry into the ciretanstances
attending the loss of the Lusitania.
Lord Mersey' has consented to con-
duct the .enquiry. Lord Mersey con -

the marine superintendent of the Ca-

cemplete absence of panic ening
the passengers and crew, and that
magnificent courage and tielf-dieci-
pep.e were displayed. The firmly -
rioted belief that the Leeltania
woad not sink map be contributed to
this, and the behavior of the sbip
after she was struck eeented to in-
crease the. confidence,. because, atter
the first heeling to starboard, she re-

body that she would float in that posi-

CAPTAIN WILL NOT TALK.

any formal statement. His first re-

further, what extra precautions are to

tition.

It seems to be foregone in the
minds of many that the German un-

Mauretania if she goes back into the
merchant service, and that they inay

CAPTAIN'S STATEINIENT AWAITED.
The coroner's inquest at Queens-
town is set for May 15, but in the
meantime it is hoped that Capt. Tur-
ner, the commander of the torpedeed
liner, may be ,permitted to make a
formal statement. It will be for the
best, and very likely this will be
obtained by the Admiralty and sent
broadcast through the Press Bureau.
There are so many points not yet
cleared UP. It is net known definite-
ly how many submarines there were,
whether one was seen an.hour before,
Whether there was an opportunity to
turn towards the shore. The passen-
gers, who are the only ones to talk,
are not agreed on how many torpe-
does hit the ship. The number has
been placed as high as three and
many say they only heard one.
Then, too, in the taiks with sur•
vivors, who have reached London,
there is a little note of complaint
over the manoeuvrine of the shit)
atter she was struck, All are agreed
that the Lusitania was swung as
nearly towards shore as ,was ,pcssible
when she was hit, and went forward
as long as bee engines lasted. To this
fact Is ascribed the ineffeetiveness of
tho starboard liCebOAR. Aft,tr, the
steamer had taken a heavy list to
starboard she was atilt going ahead,
and when the boats withal e ere low-
ered bit the water the tines , were
fouled, the davits even smashed, and
the boats theirelelves capsized. Wo-
men veil children, even men, hurled
into thn water from a bolt whiee

hour could not escape injury.
It was said that only two boats
were launched Trott the port side,
whieh was high in the air, and one
of these proved a death trap for fitty
ov mac women and children, It ma,
slid over the rapidly rising sides of
the ship unevenly, bat landed on an
even keel in the water, only to le
jerked ender by the speed at which
the ship was goirig. All went into the
water, and it ie believed all but two
or three perished. At the last min-
ute, according to the despatches and
the tales told some of the boats N,,.1:0
