BRASS BUTTONS HAD CALL
Beauty Beamed Upon the Sol
diers Sunday.
CAMP LUCKIE THE MAGNET
Yesterday Was an Ideal One for Military Work.
Sham Battle Tomorrow-Frday Is
Governors Day.

Camp Luckie is now the rendezvous
for a great many citizens and visitors,
who are taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity to visit the soldier boys.
There was very large attendance all
day Sunday and the cars going and COM
ing were packed to their capacity. The
drills were all par excellent, each COM
pany seeming to vie with the other in
doing their best.
Chaplain's Sermon.
The chief feature Of the day was the
sermon by the chaplain, Rev. o. p. Fitz-
simons. The chaplain Is quite popular
with the entire regiment, and his genial
disposition not only wins friends, but
commands the respect of every one, sol
der and citizen alike. The subject of his
remarks was: rs there no balm in Gill
cad? Is there no physician there? Why,
then, Is not the health of the daughter of
my people recovered?"
The sermon was very appropriate and
was listened to with the most perfect at
tention.
The speaker referred to the currency
question, using the gold and silver stand
ards as an illustra ton Of moral ethics,
and continuedi There likewise are two
standards of morality in this world-one
standard for men and one standard for
women. In other words, essential prin-
ciples of morality differ when they come
into contact with male and female, and
the main reason why the healing power
of the Christian religion is so retarded
is because men set up a standard of vlr-
tue for themselves which panders to their
vices and makes life, as it seems to them,
more pleasant.
Nov, instead of going and losing our
selves in the sea of trouble and looking
for the lifeboat along the shore, would
rather say let men get into the pleasure
boat and enjoy all that comes along that
is right and proper, so that his manhood
may grow in beauty and in character.
When man recognizes that he Is to be as
moral as any other creature that God
made. and when man realizes that he
may have pleasures and yet be good and
pure, then believe the fostering wounds
of humanity will all be healed and man
will grow in the perfect statue of God.
