Sunshine Willis one of the fam
cd platform lecturers of America, ex-
pounded the doctrines of happiness
and Joy before good sized audience
ut Epworth NJ. Il. church Monday
evening. The lecture was that ar
ranged by the Sunday school classes
of the church and despite the in
clement weather conditions OF the
evening tie efforts of the young peo-
pie were quite we'll awarded.
Rev. ID. II. Bailey, of Epworth
church introduced the speaker of the
evening and the aged man address
ed his audience, holding TO a chair
on the platform. The scene OF the
aged man standing feebly and urging
happiness and sunshine In the life
OF every individual was very impress
sive. He spoke for about an hour and
he was heard with much interest.
In order TO be happy. we must make
ourselves happy and quit all worry
and think only of good things. Dr..
Willis stated that he did not have
an old subject and that he was not
to repeat a lecture which had been
many times delivered before. He fear
ed that he would tire himself IN
hearing his own lecture If 1t were a
cut and dried affair. Speaking plain
ly, DR.. Willets enumerated the secrets
of happiness.
1--WE should count our blessings,
according TO the speaker. There are
many joys In the world which people
never realize and the speaker declar-
ed that the great mission of the
minister was to bring before the
minds OF the people the blessings
which God has given them. His dut-
les include the rehearsing OF these
blessings tonthe people and when
once the people are brought to a
realization of their blessings they
Will be happy.
There are the blessings OF sight,
OF hearing, of taste and OF feeling.
What vcrld this would be TO live

tasteful. On the other hand all OF
those necessary foods are made Of n
delectable sort. The blessing Of books
today is a great one. There was a
time when book cost the price Of a
small farm and the Bible was chain
ed in the house OF God so that none
could read 1t. Today these books are
spread broadcast over the world. AL
most every child may be the posses
sor of a number of valuable books
including the Bible, the most precious
of all, II they only knew it.
THE last secret of happiness is
TO desist from worry and TO spread
abroad good cheer by good service
Some people give and are happy
while others seek to gain and are
miserable. With very small capital
we can make a world Of JOY to our
selves and those about us and it is
highly essential that we do all in our
power to make happiness our aim in
the short training school OF iife."

A decidedly short session of the

The prediction excitement worked
strongly on the nerves of the city
fathers and they were not in the least
bit of humor to arnsact business.
Mayor Scherffs report for the
month of October was read by the
clerk. The councilmen opened their
eyes in astonishment when the total
was read. 1T sounds good, say that

concerned by the report of the parlia-

pointed to prepare a plan for the re-
vision OF duties as II is found that the
new schedules proposed will be a
great blow to American exports to
France. Under these schedules the
maximum tariffs on American pro-
ducts imported into France have been
increased on an average of 20 per
cent. whereas the minimum rates un-
der which the products OF European
countries are imported are increased
only 5 per cent.
The report particularly affects
American agricultural machinery. on
which the tariff has been increased ;

BRYAN SPEAKS AT TAMPA.
Says Outlook for Democratic Victory
In 1912 is Bright.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 4.-Speaking to
an immense throng OF people from
the grand stand at the race track
this afternoon, VIM. ]. Bryan said he
brought to the Democrats of the
South message of good cheer, that
there is steadily increasing senti-
ment that makes for the growth of
the Democratic party in the United
States. He commented on the
worldwide spread of Democracy as
one of the ''signs of the times" when
the masses would demand their rights
of the aristocratic class, which is now
using every endeavor to hold its own
against such a growth. He cited the
recent change in the government of
Turkey and declared that the down.
trodden masses of that country had
forced the most autocratic monarch
of modern times to grant a Demo-
cratic constitution.
He commented upon the usurpatiOn
of power by the "aristocratic- party"
the present administration, the head
of which he referred to as delegating
to himself all the authority of a car
in the manipulation of his high office.
But a change is surely, if slowly COM
ing. he declared and added that pros
poets were brighter than ever for
Democratic victory in 1912.
Mr.. Bryan injected considerable hu-
NOR in his remarks by saying that he
knew there were entirely too many
Republicans in the country for their
own good, and for the country's good,
adding that he had been telling
them about it" for a long time.
In reply to a question, Mr.. Bryan
declined to say whether he expected
to be called upon by his party again
Ito tell them about it," passing the
query with a broad smile.
