Christianity has made in nineteen
hundred years such mighty progress!
Was the former time of Christianity
better than this? Ask the question of
men and women who were burned at
the stake for religious convictions!
Ask the question of the reformers
who with their heads paid the penalty
for trying to emancipate the people
from moral slavery! Ask the ques-
ton of the Pilgrim fathers who two
hundred years ago were prosecuted
and driven from their native shores.
Ask the question Of men who were
publicly whipped in Virginia for
preaching our doctrine! Where is the
period in the past in which you would
rather have lived?
"All Gods work comes to perfection.
The tree grows finally to full strength.
He will make like success of man.
"The future opens gradually to NOR
tai vision. No man may see far down
the vista of time, but we have the
promises Of omnipotence on which to
base our hopes.
Life is a book Of volumes three:
The past, the present, the yet to be;
The first Is read and laid away,
The second, we are reading day by
day.
The third and last of volumes three
Is locked from sight-God keeps the
KEY"

F, B RADCLIFFE
CALL UPON THE
COMMITTEEMAN
CHAIRMAN OF EXECUTIVE COM.
MITTEE ISSUES CIRCULAR LET.
TER IN REGARD TO HOLDING
SPECIAL PRIMARY IN THIS
COUNTY TO FILL PEACE OF
BROWARD.

F. B. Radcliffe, chairman Of the
Democratic executive committee Of
Escambia county, is today sending out
circular letter to the various COM
mitteemen of the county, in reference
to holding a primary to elect a success
sor to the late Senator-elect Broward
The question which is confronting
the people of the state is the financial
end Of the election, and the problem
is to find means of holding the pri-
mary without expense to the state, or
to find some means Of raising the
funds necessary to defray the ex-
penses of the primary election The
suggestions contained in the letter Of
Chairman Radcliffe are good ones, and
will go far toward a solution of the
problem as far as Escambia county is
concerned:
The letter of Chairman Radcliffe is
as follows:
Dear Sir: I am sending you here
to attached a letter from the state
chairman, outlining the proposed pri-
mary for United States senator. Kind
precinct and advise me as early as
possible what you will be able to do
in the premises. Under the law, we
are only compelled to have two f2)
inspectors and one % clerk, and with
this small ticket I feel that that will
be ample. further believe that there
is sufficient number Of patriotic citi-
zens and believers in the primary in
old Escambia to do as much as any
other county in the state towards car
rying out the wishes Of her people.
Any of our present officeholders or
nominees of the primary can serve in
this special primary without interfer-
ence. they themselves not being can
didates.
Il feel sure that the newspapers
here will gladly donate our advertising
and while we will have to have some
money for express charges, pencils and
other stationery, l as chairman, will
agree to raise sufficient money for
this.
yours very truly,
Fl. B. RADCLIFFE,
Chairman"

SERMON
BAPTIST PASTOR
REV. EUGENE ROBINSON PENDLE-
TON, THE NEW PASTOR OF THE
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, DELIV-
Erred HIS FIRST DISCOURSE TO
HIS NEW CHARGE SUNDAY
MORNING..

The new pastor of the First Baptist
church, Rev. Eugene Robinson Pendle-
ton, preached his first sermon at the
church to his new charge Sunday
morning. He took for his text:
Say not thou, What is the cause
that the former days were better than
these? for thou dost not inquire wisely
concerning this
The new minister took the position
that the world was constantly growing
better and that in the end the cause
of militant Christianity would triumph
over all enemies of righteousness.
Mr.. Pendleton is earnest and
eloquent, an affable and fluent speaker
and a deep student and thinker. His
sermon was in many respects a mas
terpiece, and his congregation was
highly elated with both the discourse
and the man.
A few brief excerpts from the SER
mon follow:
Ever since the day when the
Almighty put Adam and Eve out OF
Eden for transrgesslon, men have had
a wild longing for such paradise, but
have scarcely known how to regain
their birthright. They have dreamed
of Utopias, and wandered DER earth
plotted history and made geograp Apply in
quest of a worldly Elysium, but like
the quest of the Holy Grail their eff

changed into guilty looks in the faces
of our first parents as they hid from
Jehovah in the garden. In one re-

conference will be held in the
Chamber of Commerce at $3.50 p. m.
today by the transportation commit
tee, the principal local wholesalers and
Mr.. S. A. Douglas, Of Brewton, to see
whether there would be enough local
freight in sight to justify the putting
of a regular steamboat between Pen
sacola and Brewton.
Mr.. Douglas is not looking for any
finans- al assistance here, but merely
for patronage. He has an option on
a boat which can navigate the Escam-
bia and Conecuh rivers the year
around and carry about 60 tons of
freight, and has assurances of enough
patronage at Brewton to pay a profit
On half the expenses. His visit here
is to ascertain whether he can reason
ably count on enough shipments from
Pensacola to Brewton and way points
to further insure the reasonable sue
cess Of his venture. If so, he will at
once close for his boat and establish a
weekly freight schedule.
All merchants interested in the mat
ter are invited to attend the confer
ence.

Al. q. Field, the veteran minstrel
Snowman, has been coming to Pensa-
cola annually for about twenty years.
He IL extremely popular here and has
always been. This season Is the twen-
ty-fifth year Of the organization and
Mr.. Field Is celebrating the jubilee
year by giving the most superior show
that he has ever presented and the
aggregation this year is at least equal
II not superior to any minstrel show
on the road.
The entire performance Is new.
While there are many ORD faces and
voices in the company there are also
some new voices and they are good
ones. Some new comedians are also
with the show. Nearly all the comedy
parts, the jokes, etc, we're new to
Pensacola and there was a laugh in
every line. There was not a rough, an
uncough or a coarse remark, word
or suggestion in the entire perform
ance and the entire show was clean,
wholesome and refined.

Perhaps the song that touched more
people than any that was sung last
