SCORES ATHEISTIC
TENDENCY OF AGE
Declares FaIlacy of Freet1Ought
Illustrated in Failure of
IngersOII'S College

That the wondrous improvements in
the last so years are responsible for the
tendency to change the old faiths Of
religion for new was the statement
made by the Rev. George A. Hough.
pastor of Grace Episcopal church. in
his sermon yesterday.
The developments in things mate
rial" said he, has brought about a
clamor for something new in religion.
Around us the world has changed. The
march of civilization and progress has
brought before us new ideas, new
consciously; has shown tendency to
believe that in the face of the many
changes new ideas and new faiths
were necessary to religion. A doctrine
OF evolution was hurled at US. giving a
creation without a creator; but it is a
most significant fact that later years
proved such a doctrine impracticable
and unworthy, and that the modern
evolutionists base their logic on the ex-
istence of a God They do not deny
the existence of a creator, but attempt
merely to explain his workings.
NEW LINE OF ATTACK
"A new line of attack against the
old faiths is that of patronization.
Christ is f1attered, but his divinity S
denied; the bible is applauded, but not
needed. This thought is destructive.
It has taken away the rock of ages
and replaced it with a bank of fog.
''One of the most interesting episodes
in connection with new faiths was the
opening of the National Freethought
college in Liberal, Mo. Its first presi-
dent was a friend and classmate of
mine. an exceptionally brilliant man.
In three years this pet scheme of In
gersolrs was proved a miserable fall

Immense subterranean springs of re-

Park superintendent McLaren. who
has taken an active part in transform
ing sand dunes into one OF the most
beautiful parks in the world. could not
have designed a more artistic lake than
the one that is now giving him such
great concern.
-Four weeks ago Mallard lake was
only five feet deep. Yesterday it was
5 feet dsep. and park employees were
throwing .p entertainments 10 keep the
water 70 IN overcoming the boulevard.

Pedestrians were forced 10 climb an

automobiles were compelle dto drive
slowly through the several inches of
water TO prevent disaster. Several
wagon loads OF gravel ana clay We're

McLeran Mercantile Company.

Special attention is called to the ad-
vertisement of the above named firm,
of WelbOrn, which has recently been
organized, and succeeds the old estab-
hshed and well known firm Of A. W.
MeLeran, which was established in 1884
and under good management has grown
steadily to large business. The fOun-
der of the institution was born and
raised in this county, and therefore is
not a stranger to our people.
The personnel of the new company is
as follows: A. W. McLeran, president
E, B. McLeran, vice-president; W. NJ
Edwards, secretary, A. E. Cobb
treasurer and Albert w. McLeran, jr
These are all business men who do no
know such thing as failure, and judg
ing from the past, they are sure to sue
coed with the enterprise. This firm
will continue to carry all kinds Of mer
chandise, or such as is most needed i
this section of the country, and will i
the future as in the past, handle a
kinds Of country produce. They ar
special dealers in Sea Island cotton
chickens and eggs, and Of the latte
this firm perhaps ships a create
quantity than any one dealer buyin
direct from the farmer, than most an
interior firm in Florida. During tt
year 1908, they shipped the following
Eggs, 1850 dozen for which was pa
the nice sum of $1,000. Also 1OOObalt
OF cotton, for which the sum of S65, OF
was paid.
They have superior advantages
many lines of articles handled and ca
RED by them and therefore are alwa!
in position to extend any favorS a.
courtesies consistent with good bui
ness principles.
We bespeak for them a contlnu'
good business and cheerfully CONNIE
them to the public in general
