Six Weeks' Revival at

to Women of 'Cross Kiver Town
Enola, May 28.—The six weeks'
evangelistic campaign being; conducted
in the Knola Church of God, which will
come to a close next Sunday evening,
is believed to be the most effective
campaign of the sort ever waged by
any single church in Cumberland coun
ty. A religious feeling seems to have
been installed in the residents of the
town, and many have hit the trail. The
c>mipaign is under the personal super
vision of R. H. Derrick. Respite the
inclement weather of the past few
weeks there have been constant in
creases in attendance at the meetings.

THE REV. MB. FA.Ri.lNi*,
Pastor of Enola Church of God
Last Sunday evening Mrs. T. H.
Clark, of Harrisburg, a prominent
church worker and a former slum work
er of Lancaster, occupied the pulpit.
She lias given her entire* time to the
work during the past week, delivering
masterly sermons each evening. She
lias accomplished a wonderful amount
of good am! much praise has been given
tier for her ardent endeavor anil faith
ful services.
Next Sunday afternoon at 3.15
R. H. DERRICK,
In Charge of Campaign
o'clock she will give an address to
women only at the Knola Evangelical
church. At the same hour the Rev.
William N. Yates, pastor of the Fourth
Street Church of (lod, Harrisburg, will
conduct a Men's Mass Meeting in the
Church of God. For both these meetings
special music has been arranged and it
is hoped that the residents of Enola,
South Knola and the surrounding terri
tory will turn out in large numbers.
There will be tho usual morning

JOSEPH M. FLEMING
Chairman Press Committee
church services at 10.30 o'clock and
U. H. Derrick will give a special pre
pared address at this time. At 2 o'clock
in the afternoon the regular meeting of
the Sunday school and in the evening
at 6.30 o'clock the Christian Endeavor
Societies will assemble.
The object of this campaign from
the outset was to form a closer rela
tionship with the Church of God and
the people of Enola and \o bring them
into the church. The success accom
plished has been marvelous, for not
only have they come into the church
but have given their co-operation in
the movement and have gone among
the yardmen and shopmen and per
suaded them to join in the cause.
The Rev. Mr. Farling, pastor of the
church, is much gratified with the
great progress made and in a state
ment at one of the meetings said he
finds words wholly inadequate to ex
press his thanks to all who have so un
tiringly worked and made the cam
paign one of the greatest ever held by
any single church in Cumberland
county.
The consistent and faithful work of
<T. M. Fleming, chairman of the Press
Committee, is one worthy of comment
for the able manner in which he han
dled all the affairs assigned to him
throughout the entire six weeks. Aside
from his daily duties with the Pennsyl
vania Railroad ompany lie has given
all his time and attention to the cause
and to Him belongs much credit for
the new lights presented to tho church
b_v the employes of the Unola Car
Shops.-
At the evening services Sunday
Mrs. Clark will again speak. Although
this will end the six weeks' campaign
it is by no means the end of the under
taking to build up a larger member
ship at the Church of God.

This year "A Bachelor's Romance"
will bo given in Columbian Hall at 8
0 'clock. This is the celebrated comedy
produced by Sol. Smith Russell for so
many years with great success. Mr.
lius ell played the part of David
Holmes, a quaint, odd character. He is
a bachelor, editor and literary critic,
so absorbed in his work that the out
side world has little interest for him.
In fact, he has even overlooked the cir
cumstance that his ward, Sylvia, who
lives with a maiden aunt, has outgrown
childhood, and he still scuds her dolls
and other toys.
An up-to-date course in domestic
science, plain sewing and basketry is
announced for next session. Miss Lena
M. Brooker, Detroit, in charge. A
course in china painting is added to
the art course. Miss Rebecca Diehl
Zug, Mechanicsburg, in charge. A
course in Spanish will also be given.
French and German will be taught by
native teachers and these languages
used in class.
The year just closing has been one
of the most successful in the long his
tory of the college.

Five More Added to the
328 Who Lost Lives
In Princess Irene
Disaster
SHIP BLOWN UP
BY AN EXPLOSION
Destruction of Vessel Was Most Com
plete, Caused by an Accident as She
Was Lying at Dock in Sheerness
Harbor, on the Thames
By Associated Press.
London, May 23, 3.16 A. M. —No
trace has been found of a harbor steam
launch which was moored alongside the
British steamship Princess Irene or its"
crew of five men since the explosion
which destroyed the big steamer yester
day, and it is assumed live more names
must bo added to the list of dead.
The Princess Irene was accidentally
destroyed by an explosion while lying
at dock in Sheerness harlur, on the
Thames. All the crew of 250 men of
the steamship, except one man, and, in
addition, 78 dockers who were at work
on board the vessel, lost their lives.
Admiralty's Report of Disaster
The statement of the Admiralty
says:
"The Princess Irene was accidental
ly blown up in Sheerness harbor yes
terday morning. So far as is yet
known, only one survivor was picked
up. Three men belonging to the ship
were not on board at the time of the
disaster.
"Several men belonging to vessels ly
ing close to the Princess Irene were
wounded by falling wreckage."
The Princess Irene was built last
year for the Canadian Pacific British
Columbia coast service and was taken
over by the Admiralty at the commence
ment of the war. There is a large na
val arsenal at Sheerness.
A Possible Lone" Survivor
One possible survivor of the explo
sion is in a hospital suffering from
sliock. He was picked up in the water
some time after the explosion, hut it
has not been learned whether he was a
member of the Princess Irene's crew
or was blown out of some small boat
nearby. Only one body has been re
covered. Two barges which were along
side the Irene were demolished. A na
val officer who witnessed the explosion
said;
"The ship was moored seventy yards
from the point on shore where I was
standing. Suddenly I noticed a little
wisp of smoke and I called out, 'ls
tiler? a fire there?'
"Before the men aboard could an
swer there came an explosion like a
volcanic eruption. Then a great cloud
of dust, coal smoke anil flame rose n.
mile high. Amidst the smoke tho eye
could discern huge pieces of the ship
bursting into smaller pieces as they
rose.
Ship Blown Into Fragments
"Tho ship did not go down; she
went up, distributing her remains in
dust and jagged fragments over a ra
dius of many miles. The smoke cloud
of the explosion lasted, I think, only
a moment or two. I rubbed my eyes
and saw clear where the Irene, barges
and launches had been a moment bo
fore.
"The explosion seemed to stun every
one for a few minutes. Then came the
order, 'Away all boat crew to pick op
survivors,' but when I got into a boat
and sailed past the spot where the ex
plosion had occurred there was nothing
but a single fragment of mast to mark
the place. Farther away,'however, the
water was dotted with pieces of
wreckage."
