A fine program of sacred music was rem dered by the 1st Infantry band. Captain Harte announced that he
 would change the subject of his dis
 course from that announced which was
 Not Taps, But Assembly" to Fair
 Play" He spoke for the policy of fair
 play for tho nation and for the indi- vidual.
 Fair Play" said Captain Harte, means when it becomes the rule of life. that it will be harder for the nation
 or for the individual to do wrong and
 easier for them to do right And this a superb thing for a nation or for a
 people.
 service of special interest was
 held by Captain Harte in the evening at $ o'clock in the Pickett Springs
 Casino. In addition to the men of the regiment the service was attended by
 goodly number of Montgomery peo- pie At this service Captain Harte lectured on Blue Galilee." Captain Harte a few months ago. paid an ex- tensive visit to Palestine. He Is a student and a close observer He is
 moreover an eloquent speaker, a plat form lecturer of unusual descriptive powers His accounts of his journeys about the Sea of Galilee and the peo-
 pie and their customs riyeted the at
 tention of his large audience. He de-
 scribed vividly the city of Tiberis,
 built by Herod in p, and one of the four sacred cities of the Jews. The unusual people who gathered there the Jews, the Christians and the Turks all living in a Mohammedan city, were
 brought accurately to the notice of his hearers. .~ .-: :: s-.-
 In speaking of the excellent hospi- tai maintained there by the United Free Church of scotland he declared that wherever the star and crescent showed in the distance against the sky line on the top of mosque It was the sign that beneath 1t was degrada-
 ton, poverty and vice; but whenever the sky line was broken by the Cross Of Christianity it was the sign that beneath it was charity, cleanliness and progress.
 At the beginning of the service Mir
 Junius J. Pierce sang The Holy City. At the close MT Marshall B King gave "Crbssing the Bar" Mrs. J. C. Haygood presided al the piano.

One cannot reflect upon this without a feeling of astonish- ment. says The Architectural Record Magazine. It shows us the closeness Of our connection with the people Of dis tant ages, the community that exists In spite of seeming differences. among the human species on our planet.
 A well l-conducted experiment per formed at one spot on the earth and In one hour of time can be of use to the whole world and through all the ages. The Greeks of the fifth and sixth cen- turies B. c. made such an experiment as this when they thought of certain form of temple with columns, and laid down certain rules for its construc- tion. And we of the twentieth cen- turv turn to the subtle minded Greeks of twenty-four hundred years ago, when we have to deal with problem in architecture and want to Know how to solve it with elegance and precision.
