PERPETUAL DAY
AND ENDLESS NIGHT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Amateur
and professional astronomers of
Washington and throughout the coun-
try will spend the next few evenings
making observations of the rapidly
speeding little planet Mercury. For
some time this small world has been
moving out from behind the sun, and
today it reaches its greatest distance
east. affording the best opportunity for
observation This evening many tele-
scopes will be trained toward the
southwestern sky where Mercury may
be seen in all it's glory shortly after
sunset The planet will be seen a
short distance northward from the
point on the horizon at which the sun
was seen to set.
The planet Mercury is only a TWEEN
tieth part as heavy as the earth, and
it is so much nearer the sun that it re-
ceives many times as much heat and
life. It's greatest popularity is that its
rotation has been reduced to a neg1i-
gible quantity, so that the half of the
planet turned toward the sun is per
petual day. and the other an endles ?

LARGE AUDIENCE
GREETS EVANGELIST

A large audience greeted the Rev.
DR.. Turk at the First Methodist Epis-

with deep interest to his messages in
song and sermon.
Commenting on the Scripture lesson
which was found in the fifth chapter
of ST. Luke the following utterances
are significant Christ loved the sea,
and twas there he found some of those
whom he called to be fishers Of men.
It was His to command, theirs to obey.
Though the outlook was discouraging,
they obeyed because He said So
"Unbelief is the only sin that damns
either saint or sinner. The successful
fisherman must first be a learner. He
must learn how to fish. Fishing is hard
work He must fish in the right place.
Must throw life into his fishing. An
army always in the trenches accom-
plishes but little. You must fish at the
right time The successful fisherman
must keep himself out of sight
Before announcing his text, DR.. Turk
sang as a solo. He Was Not Willing
That Any Should PERISH which was
by no means the least effective part OF
F! the service.
These services will continue each
evening for three weeks, beginning at
7:3O o'clock. A larg chorus has been
organized to assist in the music. An
