The Pillow Bazaar

y
ST. GATHERINGS Guild of Grace
church proved a very successful
affair. The attendance was good
during the afternoon, but quite
large In the evening. The scene
was a pleasant and animated one,
as the hall was surveyed on en-
tering
In the southeastern corner was
the exhibit Of pillow slips, PIN
cushions, center pieces and other
articles created by the nimble
and skilled fingers of the enthu-
siastic members of the guild and
other devoted friends The COR
ner was duly curtained, draped
and illumined, and presented an
attractive array. In the imme-
date vicinity Of this charming
work was the fair OWNERS sane
tum, in which Miss Johnson fore
cast the future by the lines IN the
palms Of the hands. Her services
were in demand. and the souls
she made happy aud the minds
she perturbrd by bright and pro-
pltlous forecasts, or cast down bv
ill and omlnoa> predictions, could
be plainly read on the counte-
nances Of those who made their
egreSs.
At the entrance of the pillow
slip corner sat Miss Irma Porter,
who was the fair receiver of GUS
TOMS, and those who were laid
under tribute never once pro-
tested against the tariff. To
stimulate buying, delicious tea
was served to the thirsty.
At the extreme northern end
of the hall refreshments were
rendered the hungry. Many par
took of and all commended the
edlbleS and drinka bles.
The seats around the side of
the hall were principally occupied
by the married folks and those
who enjoyed social chat, while
the younger members of the
gathering INDUCED in the mazes
of the exhlllrating dance, for
which the musical typo prodigy
CT the Star Office, Claude Munden,
supplied the music.
A feature of this pleasant
gathering was the large attend
ance of ladies and the scarcity of
the Sterner Sex, unless the latter
remained at home to take care of
the ba bies and put the children to
bed; and it is presumed this was
the reason, because of the pres
ence Of SO many pleasant mar
RED ladies'.
Mr.. Weathers was called on to
auction off the surplus goods, and
did himself great credit.
The affair was not only an
evening Of unalloyed social pleas
ure but a great financial success,
as at this writing (nocn the re-
celpts had overtopped the 500
mark, and still che silver rivulet
continued to flow IN.
The Star is gratlfied to know
the success that has come to
these faithful and unselfish labor
ers in the vineyard of church
usefulness, and the result demon
strates the virtue there Is in per-
severance and laboring for a good
cause.
RETURN THANKS
The ladies of St. Catharine's
Guild are not unmindful of the
hearty cooperation, not only of
those composing their own organ
ization, but of outside friends,
who did such excellent work to
make the occasion a success, and
therefore extend hearty thanks
to one and all, who, by their con-
trlbutlon or presence, so happily
contaminated the work.
To the Ocala Rifles, for the use
of the armory, we also extend our
sincere thanks.

Three Presbyterian Bodies Declare.

The Presbyterian General Assembly, in session
at Minneapolis, said among other things:
"The Presbyterian church, loyal to it's Master.
loving His kingdom, Jealous for human good and
the salvation of souls hates this evil and is pledged
to unreenting opposition and effort to destroy it.
The third Sunday in October will hereafter be
observed Temperance day.
The General Assembly of the Cumberland Pres
byterian church carefully considered and by vote
of 80 to 81 adopted the following:
Resolved, That we believe it is the duty of
Christian to separate themselves from every or
ganization that sympathizes compromises with
the traffic, and unite in some way with
organization every member of which shall at all
times including election day, and at all places, in
Guiding the polls, and with all their power, includ
ing the ballot, stand together against this giant
evil that believe that when 100000 Christian
voters get together this question the saloons will
close"
The General Assembly of the United Presbyter-
ian church appointed committee to prepare me-
mortal addressed to the president of the United
States asking that he "by virtue of the authority
vested in him commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, will issue an order abolishing the sale
and of all alcoholic liquors, except when pre-
scribed by the army navy surgeons for medicine,
in the army and navy and all military posts and
soldiers homes in the United States and territories
and islands which within the jurisdiction OF
the government and under the flag Of the United
States"

Won't Vote Like<Sheep.

At recent public meeting Rev. D. j. Burrell,

There is just handwriting on the wall
that suits me very we'll, though I not just sure
how it suits President Mckinley. am, however,
very that President Mckinley can't tote the
canteen into a second term"
This Introductory sentence met with a
storm of applause from the audience, and DR.. Bur-
rel pointedly said:
"Well, what you going to do about it?
Who are these men? Why, they are our servants
not our bosses if there is any boss the premises
it is the people; and when the people say the can
teen must go, there is tall enough to afford
to say it can stay. If were you I wouldn't say
very much about it, but would do something. We
don't want the canteen, and there are enough Of
Gods people in this country to chase the Washing
ton politicians into the Potomac. But the fact is
they think that in spite Of all say will go up
to the polls and vote like sheep next time. Here is
one sheep that won't do it. (Applause)

rell concluded he arose and said: "My, my, my!

Road to He'll r1ade Easy.

Bishop James NJ. Thoburn, who is in charge of
the Methodist Episcopal missions in India, after
visit to the Philippines, writes:
"Every alternate place Of business seems to be
liquor-shop of kind, and the soldier has
temptation before his eyes whichever way he may
turn. It is amazing how slow public rulers in our
modern days are in discovering that the surest and
most certain way to promote good order in times
like these is absolutely to close every place where
intoxicating drink is sold. Drunken soldiers meet
everywhere, and it is painful in the extreme to
remember that many of them have come from Chris
tan homes and that they have been thrust into the
very jaws of temptation from which only strong
men be expected to escape.
The following from leading liquor journal in
dicates the joy of the engaged in 'sthe trade
the Griggs decsion
"After great hue and cry the part Of the
old ladies and the busybody men, the bill went
through In the course of few days when the
government officials to understand what a
foolish thing congress had done the attorney gener
al Of the United States set the law aside and de-
clared that civilian could vend liquors at army
posts"

international Secretary of the Young People s
Societies of Christian Endeavor.

Mr.. Baer, whose protrait appears above, is vot-
ing Prohbitionist and hits the saloon to kill. Here
is of his declarations for the pulverization of
the rumpower:
Christian Eudeavor is against the gambling dens the
lotteries the violation Of the Sabbath and condemns in
temperance in every form stands for total abstinence
for the suppression of the saloon and for the annha
ion Of the power Of the saloon in politics and in all
parties. Ay, we believe the liquor traffic is the impla
cable enemy Of righteousness and purity and of Christ
and his church. The saloon must go!

Righteousness and Revivals.

Charles G. Finney, the great revivalist said Of
the temperance question that minister church
member could "stand neutral in the and be in
nocent" "show minister" said he. "who
does not out and take stand in favor of tenn
perance who has revival "The mans hands
red with blood who stands aloof from the temper
ance cause And he have revival?"
The Christian Advocate, after quoting Dr. Fin
ney in full and also referring to Albert Barnes, Ly
Beecher, John Chambers Theodore L. Cuyler,
and other champions of the temperance cause, says in
part:
Abundant evidence exists that many churches
in all the denominations, our own not excepted are
apathetic actually dead to the situation. For the
past two decades social drinking has been increas
ing, and the rate is acceerating, especially
among young people, and all classes that aim or
purpose to continue in fashionable life.
'1t will hardly be denied that popular indiffer-
ence the traffic. it's increase it's aggressiveness,
it's political power and its party sway partakes OF
the same general tendency. Inquiry in many
nouncement of pulpit topics, show that many minis
tiers say nothing upon the subject and that few who
treat it say anything fresh and forcibe.
"a natural conclusion, wherever this state OF
things exists, is that the congregations content
to have it So For it is true that the priest is
modified by the people that the people are assim-
Hated to the priest"
The Philadelphia Conference of the M. E. Church
says: Whereas, the chief of the Methodist

ton of material wefare and Whereas, The licensed
liquor traffic is of the greatest hndrances to the
dissemination of the Gospel and is dependent upon
