result being total eclipse, which viii be visi.

lot Of other places. This il the FIRST lunar
eclipse in long time that has been visible here,
and consequently il will arouse the greatest
interest and il likely to have q considerable
effect on tho attendance at church that even

Necessarily total eclipse Of the moon must
occur when the moon is full, for in order to
pass through the shadow Of the earth the sun,
the earth and the moon have al 10 be in Q
straight line and the moon must rise over the
eastern horizon exactly at the time that the sun
sets due in the west. Close observers have no.
ticed that when the moon rises at the time the
sun sets the former is usually full This is the
simplest kind OF astronomy, and for further
particulars as to why there ID not lunar eclipee

THE PICKUP We SPOKE Of

Last week now reads 400 instead
of 500 Suits. There is no denying
the fact that merit wins every time.
and as the merit in these bargain
suits is evident even to a casual
observer. it is not surprising that
this lot of suits seem TO go so
readily. The only question to be
considered in the premises is. do
you need fall suit" If YOU do,
we can make it so interesting to
you that you will not only call
again, but. will recommend our
bargains 10 your friends and ask
them to call. Remember, then,
that 400 suits are lying on our
counters that were bought way
under the price, and are to be
sold the same way. Prices range
from Sl0'to 800, and in the selec
ton are theechoicest and best pat
terms Of the season.

Doesn't Care What Paul said

A remark of Sam Jones in the Atlanta
Constitution of June IA has been severely
and Justly criticised. The remark was: Il
don't care what Paul said, ''and was made in
advocacy of women preaching. When we
come 10 read the connection, of course
there is qualification, a loop-hole. Going
back little, he says: Then if God in
dorses and helps them, l don't care what
Paul said,'' IF God indorses and helps
them There is the loop-hole. We do lot
stop to inquire where God puts his in
dOrsement, whether on women preachers or
women workers, nor do we stop to deny
that the noble women whom he mentions
were preachers, nor do we now enter the
merits of the case at all but we do say that
the remark of Bro. Jones is a very unfor-
tunate one. Coming from man who is
immensely popular and at time when the
effort is being made to push the Bible aside
on all occasions, it is calculated to do i'm
mense harm. The logic of the remark is
that God and the Bible may conflict, and
that the Bible is not our best guide in faith
and practice. Such logic does not, by any
means, represent the Methodist church,
South. nor does it represent the spirit and
teaching of Christianity. 1t sounds more
like some of the off-hand twaddle of Uni
