to discover If there was nny loss of life
upon theatramshlp, and estpeclnl atten
tion I drawn to the International regu
lations for preventing collisions lit sea,
which, the report says, "should have
been observed by these resaela,"
"There can be no doubt," it is
added, "that the steamer was supplied
with an cfllciciit steam whistle and
that it was aounileii lit regular Inter
vals, The officers of the. sailing1 ship
and most of the crew heard it several
minutes before the collision. Abund

sailing vessel hud an efticlcrit horn
and was using It according to regula
tions. From statement mad by wit
nesses In this ease there la an indica
tion that the sailing ship's horn was
heard on board the steamer ami was
answered by her. With regard to the
peed of tho atnamer at the time of the
collision tbe report say that nothing
can be absolutely anil certnlniy known
a to Its rate except from tho infer
ence drawn from tho various state
ments made in the evidence. Perhaps
her apeed will never bo accurately
known. From the sudden manner the
steamer first came In alglit upon the
port bow of tho sailing ship aud her
equally o,ulck disappearance in the fog
immediately after the casualty, as
ahown by the evidence, the court la
forced to tbe conclusion that the
steamer was proceeding at a very high
rate of speed.
"Article JO state that when a steam
ressel and a sailing vessel are proceed
ing In such directions as to involve
rink of collision the steam vessel shall
beep out of the way of the sailing
vessel. For reason unknown to tbe
court the latter did not keep clear of
the sailing vessel.
"Article II says: 'Whereby of these
rule one of the vessel I to keep out
of the way, the other shall keep her
eourse and speed.'
"The evidence llmn this point I of
a clear and satisfactory character and
conclusively proves that the sailing
ahlp, under the circumstance, did keep
tier course and speed according to the
provisions of the act. '.he court Is of
the opinion that her toaster would not
have been JustlhVd in departing from
tbe statutory regulation unless he
could have sheltered himself under the
conditions Kilnted out in Article SI.
All the necessary duties were per
formed liiKin the sailing ship with
proper enntion and doe diligence was
exercised In her navagntlon by her
captain when the character of the fog
was taken Into consideration. Cap
tain Henderson of the Cromartyshire
and the odlecr of his ship are there
for exonerated from Maine from the
Collision and lis coiiseiuenees."
Captain hinlth In his report says: "It

I will tay at tbl time that the men
at I '"io head of tbe Church of Hmie
have done vxactly what Christ proph
esied In the twenty-fourth chapter of
Matthew they have done thing that
would, were It possible, have deceived
tbe very elect.
After carefully reading and studying
the New Testament I can toe where
the men at the head of the Church of
ftome found tbe shadow of many of
tho doctrine of their organization
At the tamet'mo I find throughout the
Hible that tbe evil will put on the llv
ery oi heaven to serve toe devil a
foretold by Ju Christ tn th chapter
referred to In tbe preceding paragraph.
If you will get your Hible we will
obtv Paul' Injunction and tcarch the
8crl(.tjre. In chapter 7 of First Cor-
Inthlenr, from the 2.'th rerun we find
where they get tbe (hadow for tbe Idea
of celebacy for their prioit and nun,
and yet if you will turn over a few
p ige until you come to Paul' First
Epistle to Timothy, chapter 3, vcre 2,
you will see that It U distinctly stated
that a bishop should bo the
husrai,d of one wife; and lu the
(Kb verse of the fith chapter of Timothy
only widow over sixty year of age are
worthy to be taken into the numbjr or
der). I wonder how long it would take,
the hierarchy to disband the female
order of the Church of Home If they
were made up exclusively of women
who were a novo sixty year of age?
The Itoman! t doctrine of cclebacy I
one of tbe mark of the beast a I also
her order against eating meal on cer
tain day. Head First Timothy, char
tor 4:
I, Now the Spirit speaketb expressly,
that in the latter time omo hc,!l ic

wa to reject it a It would reject him.
Hut thl 1 not the extreme unction of
the Itoman Catholic church, Tbe or
ganlz in of tbe papal tystem go to tbe
5th chapter of Jame for authority for

It 1 administered with the understand

prove that their practice 1 contrary

It I plainly atated that if oil U ap
