Atlanta Sunday Journal.
Another Piece of Superb Enterprise on
the Part of the Great Atlanta
DaiIy.-.WiII Appear June |.

tlIS dit vi lIS vi Cot htot'to
DaiIy.--WiIl Appear june |.
The Atlanta Journal has announc-
ed it's purpose to begin June l the
publication Of a Sunday morning
edition. This announcement carries
the assurance that The Sunday Journ-
al will be the most complete, COM
prehensive and attractive paper
published in the entire country-for
it is we'll known that whatever this
great southern newspaper undertakes
it executes perfectly.
The Journal argues that the publ
cation of it's Sunday morning edition
is made necessary by the growing
'demand of The Journal on seven days
of the week instead of skin other
words, q demand for a newspaper
that gives all the news all the time.
The Journal has gone about the
preparation of it's Sunday edition
with the same spirit of Enterprise and
liberality of expenditure that has
made The Daily Journal the most
popular and universally read news
paper in the south. It has not only
installed new $4,000 press, but
has at enormous expense suppliment-
ed it's already magnificent news
service (that of the Associated Press
admittedly the best on earth) with
the special cable service of the New
York Herald, the most perfect foreign
news service in existence, together
with ali of the best special Sunday
features of The Herald the same to
appear simultaneously in that paper
and The Sunday Journal.
In addition to this it's own corps Of
special writer's will embrace some of
the best known names in the
country; among them George Ade,
Peter Finley Dunno, Bishop Csndler,
Sam P. Jones, Mrs. FELTON,, Rev.
George G.. Smith, the historian, and
numerous others. It's social news
and religious departments will be
special features, while it's colored
comic suppliment will be the equal Of
any, and the first ever issued by a
Georgia newspaper.
The Sunday Journal will be sent
to regular subscribers of the daily at
12 cents per week-or for the small
additional cost of 2 cents per week.
Grit will be served by newsboys at 5
cents per copy.
It goes without saying that this
new piece of enterprise on the part Of
The Journal, meaning as it does,
greatly increased service at minimum
of increased cost, will largely increase
the circulation and usefulness oi
that great newspaper.

Redeeming the time. This exhorta-
tion refers to what we commonly call
the nick of time. Paul, who was a
minute man in duty, exhorts his fel-
low Christians to seize their opportu-
mites to serve their Master.
Keep your eve on the Master and be
ever asking, Lord, what wilt Thou
have me to do ?" Sir Joshua Reynolds,
the celebrated painter, used to say, II
only look at the best pictures bad
one only spoils my eye" The more
you look at Jesus, the more will you
look like Jesus.
Mirth is like flash of lightning that
breaks through gloom Of clouds and
glitters for moment. Cheerfulness
keeps up kind of daylight in the
mind and fills it witha steady and per-
petual serenity.
Think as little as possible about any
good in yourself; turn your eyes reso
lutely from any view of your plans
your success, your following-abov'
ALL speak as little as possible abou
yourself.
The one who is deeply interested il
, the use and appropriation of the goldel
moments that they may rebound t
their present and eternal welfare,
inspired by the highest wisdom known
Time is valuable; it is precious.

Poverty with contentment is better

Poverty with contentment is better
than wealth without happiness.
Never be frightened by the ridicule
of fools. Moral courage will not only
save you out of many temptations; it
will give you the moral power to intiu-
ence others.
II Christ helps you to run, you have
got to do the running. Fl depends on
yourself, what position you occupy,
what influence you possess, and what
service you render to your Master and
your fellow men-and also-how much
pure happiness you will enjoy.
This opening year will be a profita-
BILE and Christ-honoring one to US or
not, according as we make the most o!
our opportunities.
A mighty veil hangs over the future,
but as God lifts that veil, He can give
you and me strength equal to the day
A life whose days are spent in com.
munion with God is trying to reach
the the source Of power, is the life that
moves the world.
Reader, be more careful of your
time. Do not let the hlessed moments
of life pass without proper estimate
by you of their importance.
" No man has ever reached the high
plane of scholarship without the cult
vation of studious habits. And these
habits are conditioned on the prope
use of time.
Our best deeds are marked by i'm
perfection, but if they really were ou
best, forgetting the thing that ar
behind" we shall do better next time
Faith ought ever to be a sanguine
cheerful thing; and perhaps in practi
cal life we could not give better &C
count of faith than by saying that
is, amid much failure, having the hear
to try again.
