OUR EOLD SAILORS Xavifffttors on tho Liikeii Take Groat Kitka, "The ices of tho steamer Idaho on take Brie In last Saturday's gale," said a tormar forwarder of grain and freight cargoes on the lakes, "Is but another example of the recklessness that char acterises lake skippers and sailors, and of the risks they will take to make all that Is possible out of a season's trans portation. They will start from port ■with veaoels that are hardly seaworthy even in fair weather, in the face of most threatennig weather, and tha weather is almost constantly threatening on Lake Erie at tills tithe of year. The annual IOBS OX life and property, although it is much less thnn formerly, because there are fewer unseaworthy hulks afloat, is pro-portionately larger than it is on tha Atlantic ocean. The reports that fol low every eevere storm on the lakes are burnened with disaster. "No ocean sailor who ever lived would dare to take the risk that the av erage lake skipper will, and that not only without a word of protest, but •wttb avidity. It Uxjks sometimes as If 'take sailors rather courted risk and danger. It Is a fact, too, that there are •more unseaworthy craft braving the treacherous waters of the lakes during the most dangerous seasons of the year I —Octobor and November—than at any other time. Therein reason for this, though, for grain shipments ar e live lier as the season draws to a close. Cargoes are consequently more plenti ful and freights higher. Every vessel that will float can command a cargo. I have 6een schooners that were hardly fit to be towed on a canal leave port in November loaded almost to the guards with freight, and yet the Bktppers would have to refuse many applications from eullora anxious to sail on the shayy. ■hulks. There is not a more reckless class of men on the face of the earth than these fresh-water sailois, although they have the terrible fact constantly before them that hundreds of their fel lows are lost annually on the lakes, nl.\e-teulhs of them going down with the rotten craft they begged the priv ilege 0# sailing on. This fact is made the more startling because is is well known that the dangers of lake navi gation —especially navigation on Lake Erie —are so great that even the stanch cst vessels are frequently unable to —-LJfSalher them. I would rather cros3 the Ati.oatle a dozen times at this sea edit than to make one trip from the St. Lawrence river to Chicago. "Storms sweep over the lakes with out any warning. The November gales on Lake Erie are indescribably fright ful. The skippers depend largey on landmarks for guides in navigation. The blinding rain or sleet that nearly always acompanies these storms oblit erates these marks for days sometimes, and as the sea room is limited, vessels caught In these gales are in constant danger of going to pieces, either on the rocky shores or on some of the islands *hat stud so thickly these inland seas, or being suddenly swamped, as the iftabo was. Lake Ontario's shores arc especially menacing *o lake craft dur ing storms, but fortunately this lake is not so liable to be swept by storms as some of the others. If a vessel heaves to in a storm it is almost certain to be east ashore, or if it runs difwn the lake toward the St. Lawrence river it is en dangered by the many islands that abound there. Many skippers annually wreck ti.elr craft in the always risky effort to make Oswego harbor in a storm. The enterance to the harbor is very narrow, and the vessel that le steered for It and does not make It is almost certain to go to pieces on the rocks under Port Ontario. "The sailing season Is comparatively short on the lakes, for it Is usually late In the spring before the Ice embargo ts Teinoved and early in the winter when 1s is again placed on navigation. The skipper's desire is to take advantage ot every hour of v his time, and he takes no precaution that will cause him an extra moment's delay in port. Of course, all vessels that sail on the lakes are sub ject to the control of government In spectors, and none may sail without a permit. But the pay of these officials la small. They are human, and lake shippers are the most willing people on land or sea. At any rate, there is a host of unseaworthy hulks engaged in the commerce of the lakes. There are not so many of them though, as dared the dangers of the trip befor e govern ment Inspection began. "Reckless skippers would find their occupation gone if there were no reck less sailors eager to share their risks, and reckless lake sailors are the rule rather than the exception. This is all ihe more singular because ordinarily these sailors are the quietest and most modest of men. A curious thing about ihem is that many of them are farmers, or rather farm owners. The Individual land holding In the vicinity of the lake ports of some of 'these dare-devil sail ors is considerable. The moment nav igation clones they return to their farms, remain there until it reopens In the spring,, and then hasten back to the lakes to tempt death on any old craft where t'.iey can get the best wages, leaving their wives and children to look atter the farm."

Bishop Caleman Commends the Charitable Labors ol Masons. I Bishop Leighton Coleman, ot Dela ' ware, preached Sunday afternoon at ! the religious services held in the Masonic Home, Broad and Ontario ' streets, Phila., under the auspices of j Union Lodge, No. 121, F. and A. M. In opening his sermon he thanked I them for the honor conferred upon : him in asking him to address the meet j ing. No work more Christ-like than ' that exemplified in such a home had j come under his view. He also count ed it a privilege to share jrith them the enjoyment and benefit df the after noon's services. He chose for his text, "I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep thein from the evil," St. John 15: xvii. Christ, he said, was about to leave His disciples when He used these words. It was a time when His affec tions would be drawn out toward them. He did not want to take them where they would be protected from all injuries. They were to become martyrs and heroes. If He had taken them with Him would there have been epistles? he asked. We would not then have had these examples of patience, self-denial, heroism and loyalty. Many persons would have be come disheartened at the idea of fol lowing the example of Christ on ac count of the difference in His nature from theirs. Such is not the case is following the examples of the disciples. "We should not complain of the evils, pain and conflicts we meet. The man ly and womanly thing to do is to face the evil and by God's grace overcome it. Our spiritual friends are just as real as our spiritual foes. We must, however, be armed from head to foot for the contest in* the whole armor of God. The evil is continually, search ing for a weak spot in the armor."
