But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse Of earth runs slow,
There is always one to stay at homo
Where there is one to go.
Over and over good-bys arc said
In tones that dio with tho day,
When ewes arc wet that cannot forget,
And smiles have faded away;
Smiles that are worn as over grave
Flowers will blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay ut home
Where there is ono to go.
Always one for the little tasks
OF day that is never done;
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone;
And he who fights on tho worlds broad

With banner and blast and drum,
Little dreams he Of a battle gained
BY the one who stayed ut home.

Religious Tolerance.

A clergyman of this city. while in at
tendance upon convention of his de-
nomination in another city recently. IS
reported TO have made the assertion that
Savannah was the most depraved" city
in the state. and to have asked for help
ia the way of missionaries, and possibly
| other ways, to save the city from perdi-
ton, or something to that effect. He had
reference to the way Sunday is observed
here, and to wat he regards as desecra-
tons of the Sabbath day.
The gentleman probably overlooked the
| fact that Savannah is made up of people
Of various races and nationalities, and
that not all of them subscribe to his par
| ticular religious creed. Various religious
| organizations have various views of sun
| day. and of Sabbath observance. 1t is not
well to hold the opinion that all who do
not conform to ones own ideas with re-
gard to religious matters are depraved.
quite a large proportion Of Savannah $
population are Catholic in faith, and the
creed of the Catholic church does not call
upon them to observe the Sabbath in pre-
cisely the same manner as do the creeds
There are also a great many Jews in Sa-
vannah. Their religion does not recognize
Sunday as a holy day. They observe Sat-
urday as the Sabbath. But, out of re-
spect for the Christian majority of the
population, they close their places of bus
mess on Sunday, and abstain to a greater
or less extent from secular work. The
Protestant Episcopalians do not regard or
observe the Sabbath as some of the other
Protestant denominations do.
Savannah's religious element is largely
embraced in the three religious bodies
named. 1t would not do to say, because
the Catholics. Jews and Episcopalians
take a more liberal view of the Sabbath
than do some of the other denominations.
that there is less of goodness and piety
among these than other religious sects.
There may be a field for missionary
work in Savannah. But it is not larger
field than may be found In any city of its
size and Importance. The record of Sa-
vannah for honesty in business and unos-
tentatious charity is not surpassed by
that of any community, while the city in
which the gentleman issued his invita-
ton for missionaries to come to savan-
nah has almost every week its defalca-
tions, embezzlements. bank wreckings
and scandals in high social life.
Savannah is a city with a cosmopolitan
population 1t contains followers of all
kinds of creeds. No minister or priest
could possibly get all of the people to SUBJ
scribe to his particular belief and form of
worship. What a clergyman from the in.
terror sees when he comes to a fiourishing
seaport city may astonish, and probably

for? Think people haven't got any sense?
You can't get English muffins here in less

up snide victualsl Bring me some buck

that sort OF grub, anyway"
