BIG CROWD HEARD
DOCTOR THOMAS
The Bad Weather Had No Eject "D
the Large Attendance at the Ohio
Street Baptist Church Fri
day Night.

When Il few Of the members began
Church at ! O'Clock Friday night, it
was thought that on account of the
rain there would be but few in attend
auce, and that that few could retire
to one of the class rooms and have a
little prayer meeting Gust among
themselves but as the time drew
near for services to begin $3.50 the
people began to come in, singly and in
groups, and before the song service
was finished there was very good
congregation waiting to hear the
old. Old Story" From the very
hearty manner in which this same
odd, Old Story" was sung by the peo-
pie and preached by DR.. Thomas, it
, was very evident that the "old story,
though ever new" was laying heavily
upon the hearts Of some.
The "o1d-time songs" seemed to be
the favorites with both preacher and
people, and OF truth. the love Of
God seemed to be evident everywhere.
The sermon was wholly informal,
more Of a talk" between friend and
friend than otherwise, and every one
was made to feel that no matter what
the disappointments in weather or the
temporal affairs Of life, 1t was good
to have been there.
[ The spirit Of prayer and of faith
seemed to permeate the entire series
of meetings., and any one who will OBJ
serve, can not attend one OF these
meetings. without realizing that great
things are taking place at the Ohio
Street Baptist Church.
You are very cordially invited to
attend any and all of these services.
Come and bring your families and
your friends. If it is raining the East
Sixth avenue car line will bring you
to the church door and you will feel
we'll repaid for your attendance.

REMARKABLE RECORD

We call the attention OF our readers
to the half-page advertisement in this
issue for Bedell's Pharmacy which
discloses the remarkable record OF
25,744 new prescriptions filled during
the year 1907, an increase OF over
1900 prescriptions over the previous
year. When it is remembered that
these figures are new prescriptions,
and do not include old Or refilled pre-
scriptions, the record, is. indeed, an
extraordinary one. Mr.. Bedell is an
'enterprising and progressive business
man. and incidentally an Advertiser in
the Daily Graphic, which may in q
measure account for his rapidly in
|creasing business.

Censorship Of the Press.

The Democrats OF the senate and
house will do well to watch the bill
introduced by Senator PenrOse on the
9th OF December II amends section
1893 of the revised statutes and pur.
nOrts to be measure for the enforce
mcnt Of the law against obscene liter
allure, but a reading Of the bill arouses
the suspicion that It has another pur'
pose. The amendment is SO broad that
it is a question If It does not establish
a censorship of the press and vest in
the pOstofiice department the right &c
arbitrarily exclude papers from the
second class mailing privileges.
The bill should he so amended as TO
make It impossible for the postofiice
department to exercise a censorship
over political papers. We can not af.
ford to subject political arguments to
censorship.
The dangers involved in such q law
far outweigh any good that could
come from 1t. Freedom OF press is es'
scntial to free government, and in ex'
GLIDING obscene matter care must be
taken not to lodge in the postofiice de-
partment a discretion which will cover
other matters.

that the railroads want to be sure
that for some simple and perhaps In
