Preached in St. Jame

Both services tit St. James’ Pres- byterian Church yesterday were conducted by I)r. Banks Nelson oi" Hamilton, Ontario. who dealt in his sermons with the bearing oi tnodern science on religious and social conditions of the day.

In the course of his morning ser mott bus-ed on ltonunts 11:22 he referred to the British Scientific Association now meeting in Tor- into anti to the reports of their pro- ceedings as given in the Press, which show that itt nearly every department oi‘ science new wottti- ers itt nature are being discover- ed. and each fresh discovery dis- lllilylllg it. purpose and plan on the part oi‘ the Creator for the good nttd wcll-lteing of mankind. llr. Nelson told that. sitting on thc porch oi the St. James Manse on Ulle night ti-reviuus, he saw a shoot- ing star which rccttlletl to his tnintl u meeting of the American Scien- tific Association lteld less than two years ttgo at 'l‘oronto, and at which he was present. At tltis nice- tlng it was proved that there are many inure shooting stars o-r 1ttct- cors itt April attd in August than ilt any other tttotttli of the your uttd it was also shown that, when the air was analyzed during the time of these meteoric dieplity/s it was lottntl to be tttuclt more heav- ily charged with nitrogen than be- fore the phcuomctru,

"Now April is the sccd time and

ce nitrogen is it tottic to tho laud and its products just as iron is a tottiic to the ltttntttn blood and its strength, so it is see-n, and it its wonderful to think that the very shooting stars are the t-scrtcitttts of tuztnkintl and lcrtllizc the earth.

“Scientific obsorvatiotis, the preacher said. "should not merely be mttn ntaklttg ‘notes like llamloi and neglecting to put to pruolicztl use the knowledge attained. He a1» so said that scientific. knowledge entpltusizetl the social nature attd well being of man.

This he illitslratttrl from Prince Kropotkln, who lll ltls book on ututuul aid tells about the vultures. How the young vul- tures. when they discover a dead animal. instead of at once proceed- ing to devour it and etttisly their lttinger, will tttke up tioeltititts, like scntinels. to tviticlt out. for extent- ics, allowing the old vultures to feuflt on the cztrc-ztss first. The rt-u- son for this being that tltc old vultures have tlteirvbeztlts blunted by long use and must out ilto soft portions oi’ t-lte animal, whereas the young vultures come uftcr their settler-s "uttd with their sharp, strong young beaks can feed on the tougher parts oi‘ the trarcassy

The thriving and lteautiful Lowtt oi‘ Kcnsittgttxt was visited by 1t tiisustrotts firc ill. an early ltour Saturday ntorttlttg, which laid in ruins all the principal stores along the cast side of Commercial Street with the cxccittiort of that. of Kettrtetly Bros, and the grocery store of Mr. li. liowncss.

A rt-prcscttttttive of thc Guardian visited iltc scene Saturday after- noon whun all that wits left of o. once stilcttditl row of uti-tqdntt: stores was sittottltlcriitg ashes and debris. 0n the opposite side of the street stood ll. row of ltlitckott- cd and hlistcred buildings with broken windows ttnd other ntarks of thc fierce figltt that had been waged ditrittg tltc ntortting. 'l‘ltc fire started in the Cottttttt~rchtl Hotel, just how is not known. This ltowevcr will be inquired ittto this week.

The fire uias wcll under way be- fore being tiiscovcred and spread to adjoining buildings in an incred- itably short tinte. When it was seen that the whole town was in danger assistance was asked from Char- lottetown and Sutntnerside. Sum- tttersitie responded with fifteen men and Charlottetown with eigh- teen both parties going to the scene in cars. the Charlotte- town party being carried in six cars kindly loatted and driven by Messrs J. O. Hyndman. '1‘. B. Rogers, Gordon Hughes, W. Scent- lnbury, J. A. Webster. nnd Russell Abbott. Before they arrived how- ever. the fire was under control and their services were not requir- ed.

The dautage to the buildings on the opposite side of the street was very considerable practically all thc windows being broken and the paint blistcrcd and completely dos. troyctl. The sitcds and warehous- es at the rear of ‘thc burned stores were also ticstroyed.

'l‘lte fight put up by the firemen aided by all the able-bodied citizens tvns it fierce one atttl thanks to their strenuous efforts the re- ntttlnder of the town still stands. Fortunately thc town has a splen- did flre fighting equipment. and a Fire Brigade which deserves much credit.

Last year an addition to the equipment of $4.500 was ttiatle. 'i‘ltero are now four tanks with a capacity of 4.000 gallons‘ each. Two of these lying side by side at each end of Commercial Street, each having an auxiliary reservoir of 15.000 gallons.

An air-contprsssor pump driven by a rotary engine gives n pres- sitrc of 125 itt ettch of the stations which are supplied with hose suf- ficientiy lottg to meet.

No doubt the work of rebuilding will be begun by many of the los- ers. at least, in the very near future.
