Baptists in Convention
More than two hundred pastors and delegates attended the semi-annual ses¬ sion of the Long Islanvl Baptist Asso¬ ciation Tuesday afternoon and evening in the First Presbyterian Church. The session was held in the Presbyterian Church as the Baptist Church was too small to accommodate the large numb¬ er in attendance. Moderator George C. Dutcher was in charge.
A number  of the afternoon   session worthy of especial mention was "How the   Young   People's   Society    .studied 'The   Uplift  of China'   together,"   by j Miss Helen Tracy of Richmond Hill. j     The* theme    of    both   sessions   was I "The   Twentieth    Century    Church." The afternoon session opened with a devotional and praise service conducted by Pastor Myron D. Fuller of Hunting¬ ton.    The   first   address was made   by Prof. Charles Smith, Managing   Direc¬ tor  of  the   People's   Institute,    New York   City,   on  "The   Pulpit  and the Pew."
The addresses on "Present Practical Ideals for Freeport and the Rest of Long Island," proved helpful. This general topic was divided uf) into three divisions, namely, "The Preaching Needed From the View of the Pew;" "The Heart Needdd from the View of the Pulpit," and "The Missionary Lit¬ erature Method and Spirit Needed from the View of both the Pastor and the People."
After a very interesting  three-min-
not  knowing   the  difference  until the ^ school bell began   to ring and   the   fire | whistle to blow.    F.   O.   Cunningham, \ former Jpastor |of the Baptist Church. I but   now residing in Brooklyn,   was in , the   building   at   the time and ran out to give the alarm to the village   power', house.    Janitor   Cooper,   with the   aid of the boys of the upper grades, quick- j ly    extinguished    the    cause    of   the smoke,   a   blazing   box of i^aper in the basement,   without   any damage being : done.    It is  presumed   some   boy   had into   this  room   for  a   quiet ' smoke and forgot or   neglected   to   ex- ( tinguish the "butt" when he threw   it' down.    The fire department  answered very quickly after the alarm was given ¦ but were not needed. ;
The next afternoon Wednesday, at 5 :03, an alarm was again mounded for a j fire on Main Street in the restaurant | o])posite Meyer's liquor store, occupied | by C. Rosenberg, resulting from the | explosion of a kerosene stove. The \ blaze gained ([uick headway and was I working i^fipidly when the firemen ar-' rived and put a stop to the fun. Al-j though the entire restaurant was ¦ burned out and the flames extended to' the second stories and came out through ! the sides of the building nearly to the | top, the recall alarm was sounded at; n :25, 22 minutes later. P. Jacobson's| shoe store next door in tlie same build- ¦ ing suffered slightly from the fire but more from water; fully insured.
Damage of the buidling, owned by J. Albin, will probably not exceed $800 covered by insurance.
Second Assistant Engineer Clarence VanRiper was in charge of both of these fires and handled them in good shape. He was warmly complimented by his superior officers upon their re¬ turn to the village.
And by the way, special thanks might be given the Brooklyn Times for an honest unbiased repiort of  the  drill

The four-masted ship "Peter Rick¬ mers," which was laden with illumin¬ ating and lubricating oil from the Standard Oil Company, and ^s run aground off Short Beach Life^Saving Station during a raging storm on ces Saturday af¬ ternoon during the heavy storm, as was predicted by the Life Saving crew last week.
Although thousands of cases of oil had been thrown over when the vessel first grounded, and thousands more must have been burned during the fire which raged On the vessel for ten days, { when the Rickmers dropped apart more cases, possibly 30 or 4t) thousand, were thrown out of the lower holds and into the water, and then onto the beach Saturday evening, where part of it was gathered up and carted away.
The sight on the beach when the Re¬ view representatives! visited the scene is indescribable. For a mile the beach was ^covered with five-gallon cans of oil. In the centre of this a huge fire, ; started by no one knows who, was I fiercely burning, lapping up the cans and cases of oil as though they were grass. No one fed the blaze; it was fully capable of taking care of itself and with long greedy arms fed on the boxes of combustible liquid, throwing a heavy bank of flame and smoke high into the air. It was impossible to stop a! the blaze, except by carting a wide 4 i row of cans out of the path of the fire and this no one was particualrly anxious to do at the price offered by the salvage people, 35 cents an hour. Now all that is visible of the huge ship is a small piece of the bow and the stem, the centre for possibly  two

Amityville had to leave after tho ninth inning in order to catch a train.    The score:

A general discussion of views ad¬ vanced by preceding speakers was then held. The following resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That we esteem the Christian religion as exemplified in the life of its founder, Jesus Chris^t and taught, in the New Testament, as sufficient and fundamental to the mor¬ al and eternal salvation of the man, and therefore, the obligation upon all who profess His name to honor it in life and service as supreme."
The'afternoon session adjourned for supper and a social hour at the First Baptist  Church,
The evening service was short, ow¬ ing to the fact that many present were compelled to return to their homes on the nine o'clock train. The associa¬ tion reconvened at 7 :15 o'clock, with devotional and praise service conducted by Pastor William E. Mounteney of the Union Church, Greenpoint, followed by the afternoon theme on "Twentieth Century Church," being continued.
"Interesting Our Juniors in Mission Work," was the topic taken up by Mrs. David Johnson.
A very interesting variation from the program was a charming solo by Miss Mollie Pitcher, entitled "One Sweetly Solemn Thought,"
Robert L. Jones'and Pastor R. F. Y. V. Pierce of the Second Avenue Bap¬ tist Church, Manhattan, in the absence of Rev. Curtis Lee Laws pastor of the Greene Avenue Baptist Church, spoke very enthusiastically on "The Bible School Needed,"
These addresses were followed by two five-minute addresses by Rev. Charles Herbert Scholey, the newly in¬ stalled pastor cf tho Firsx rreebyteriari I Church, and Stanley W. Roberts, acting pastor of tbe First Baptist Church.
