A STORY OF THE TITANIC.
It is stated (says the "Continent") as (moot the stones of tho Titanic disaster which has not yet had wide telling, that when the survivors met in the Carpathian cabin to adopt resolutions of gtatitude to those who hud rescued them from death, tho committee reported a paper without any religious note whatever. A quiet little' woman, Mrs. Ryerson, protested that if thanks were to ho rendered to any rescuer God must not bo left out. There was no vote on the amendment, but heads bowing in reverent silence throughout the room gave an unmistakable consent, and the chairman, amid a profound hush, wrote at tho top of the committee's report a new introduction: "Whereas, in the mercy of God it has pleased Him to spare our lives, wo do humbly render thanks to our Father in heaven and to all who have assisted in our rescue." This is tho Mrs. Arthur Ryerson who founded a scholarship of 5009 dollars at Yale, in memory of her son, Arthur Lamed, who was killed in an accident at his home. Mrs. Ryerson was returning to his funeral when the wreck of tho Titanic occurred.
