TO THE CITIZEN

Clarence, KY, Oct. 10, 1910.
Dear Editor:
For several days / have been watch
ing and waiting for an opportunity
to write to The Citizen and 1t has
come at last. In the first place /
want to say that am seldom better
satisfied than when l am reading
The Citizen. am becoming more and
more convinced that your paper Is
one of the greatest in the state in
elevating rural life. And yet it is
only one of the factors through
which Berea College is doing a great
work.
On account of my eyes l was fore
ed to give up school this Fall and
am unable to be in school at Berea,
but / have never lost sight of the
fact that Berea is the only place foe
orphan boys or girls, like myself. to
find inspiration to do something and
to be something in this world.
I want to thank the Normal Dept
teachers for what they have done for
me and are doing for others. /
want to especially thank my beloved
Sunday School teacher for the prac-
tical things of life he taught in con-
nection with the assigned lesson. An 1
last Of all but not least / want 10
thank Pres. Frost for what l an

be able to reach the height of my
ambition. viz. To teach boys and girls.
With best wishes ! beg TO remain
yours for better schools and better
equipped teachers.

OF the nerves are racked 1t is day
for sleep and relaxation. Always II
is a day for that rest which comes
from change of occupation. For
those who are shut up in offices and
stores during the week, sitting ut
desks. Sunday is time to stand err
ect, to breath the pure air and to
rejoice In the great out-of-doors. The
observance of Sunday that leads
one to begin the work on Monday I'M
refreshed fails of one opportunity of
the day.
Sunday Is a day to indulge the tai
ent that has to lie dormant during
the week In so many cases because
OF pressing though necessary labor
on farm and in factory. For the man
of artistic taste 1t is a chance 10
carve, or to model or to sketch;
for the lover of music IL is a time
for playing the violin or the organ.
For the lover of nature 1t is a day
lOT OuocINdllOu III iOicSt dbu III AhCd-
dow, the wonders OF Gods handiwork.
For the man Of studious mind 1t is
chance for reading and reflection.
For the born teacher. whom destiny
has assigned to other tasks, 1t is an
opportunity TO gather group of boys
or girls and to give them a happy
tire as we'll as gain 1t himself.
Sunday is day for the develop
ment of the home life. 1t is often
the only time that man. can really
come to know his own. On this day
he can enjoy his home, can play with
his children, can get that influence
over them that is lasting, can walk
in his garden, and lay plans for the
betterment of the home which is his
castle.
Sunday is day for the strength
ening of friendship. Few things add
more to the value of life than friend
ship, on this day there is time for
conversing with those who are near
or of writing letters TO those who are
distant.
Is it not a great day? Something
for all to do that will make life more
worth while. The happiest and most
delightful day of all the week.

Waning Hope

II hope deferred maketh the heart
sick, what must be the condition of
the heart when hope is lost? The
latter would seem to be almost the
condition of the Democratic party at
the present time. The election IN
Maine gave courage and revived the
hopes, but six weeks have shown that
the result in Maine was more benefit
cal to the Republicans than to the
Democrats.
Battle is On
However, 1t may be said at last
that the pot boils, or, using more
war-like phraseology, the battle is
on, and New York is the great field
where the contest is to be won or
lost. and the indications are that it
is lost-hopelessly lost so far as the
Democrats are concerned.
Conditions Reversed
In the beginning of the struggle it
was the Republican party that was
divided. As the contest draws to a
close, there is a united Republicanism
and a divided Democracy. 1t was fit
ting that the Insurgent storm, cy-
clonic as 1t has proved to be, should
have originated and gained force and
vitality in the great middle west pre-
paratory to sweeping everything be-
fore it in New York. AS time and
again predicted in The Citizen, 1t is
Insurgency that has saved the Repub-
lican party, Insurgency led by Mr.
Roosevelt, capturing the Saratoga
Convention and forcing upon the
administration the conviction that
the party is Insurgent.
Ground of Fear

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
Nots Day for License, but Of Worship,
Service, Rsst-A Day for Strength
ening Friendship.
By j.. r. Robertson.

People are so accustomed 10 take
things as a matter Of course that
they often fail TO recognize the i'm
portance OF familiar things. For ex-
ample. Sunday comes around so reg
ularly every week that few stop TO
think how marvellous thing IL is
that for one whole day in seven the
busy world rests from the ordinary
whirl of Industrial life and turns to
other things, and yet with unfailing
regularity this privilege comes. like
rain, upon the just and the unjust.
The nature and the method Of
keeping Sunday must always prove
OF living interest TO thoughtful minds.
No inflexible definition or rule may
be given for all men and for all
times. The right observance of the
day for one man might be the wrong
one for another. and the best obser-
vance for one time might be the
worst for another. II is possible,
then, to mark out the lines along
which Sunday observance may fifty
go and those which il ought 20.
avoid.
Sunday is not day for license
to do Just as one pleases. IL is not
time for mere pleasure and fun
however harmless that may be. The
day has a character of its own
which public opinion, and law as well,
recognizes and protects. Sunday is not
day OF privilege for the few at the
expense OF the many, and 1t is fit
ting that an observance that deprlves
others of the privilege OF the day
should be avoided so far as possible.
IL is supremely selfish to increase
the encroachments which are being
made in this day of opportunity.
Sunday, we must recognize, has
come to us as gift of religion. Il
is an expression of mans religious
instinct handed down through the
ages. AS such 1t is prominently re-
ligious In its nature. Through the
touch of the great Teacher, Sunday
lost the irksomeness Of form and cere-
mony which had clustered about II
and became a day for the welfare of
man. Far reaching was this saying,
1.-THE Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath
Sunday is a day for worship. In
the quiet of the church amidst sur
roundings that are helpful, in a
social fellowship that is satisfying,
under influence of sermon and music
the deeper springs of the better ma
ture are touched and the life is re-
freshed and strengthened. Never per-
haps in the history of the world have
the church services offered so much
for tired hungry world as they do
today. But all of the day is not 10
be spent in worship even by the
most reverent, and to some this
will make no appeal at all.
Sunday is a day for service. How
can there be a better way in which
part or the whole can be spent
than in doing acts OF kindness? The
walk or the ride that is needed 10
refresh the body and the mind gains
new significance II an act Of chart
ty or kindness is at its end.
Sunday is a day OF rest. Sometimes
when the body has been overtaxed

at Rochester, record breaking crowds
are expected to turn out.
The ,Pigers's slump at Rochester was
partly due to the inability of Jake
Gettman to clout the Rochester pitch
ers. When Gettman isn't hitting the
ball, Newark's chances to win are
greatly lessened, and that's just what
was the matter at Rochester. Jake is
due for a batting streak, however, and
all opponents had better look out.
TIC 'Ducky' Holmes, who had 1t on
the Tigers last year, goes the credit of
pitching the first shut-out game OF the
season against Newark. The big Bronco
had everything yesterday.
He had the Tigers bafiled when hits
were needed. As they We're needed

1t looked good in the first inning
when Meyer singled for a starter, but
he was left high and dry after Gettman
mad walked and Kelly, Schlafy and
Louden were disposed of. Kelly got in
his hit later. but it did not count. while
Crisp also bingled. and that was the
total OF swatting lone by the Tigers.

Match.

q ONE strenuous training vas done
y yesterday at the Nelodrome track
by the riders of both the profess
sional and amateur ranks who are
training faithfully for the excellent
card of events which are to be held
Sunday afternoon at the sauce track.
With all the men in good form. some
real and exciting racing is bound 10 re-

will flock to the AVelodrome on sunday
will see two new men ride their first
races in tho East. Aft. Goulette. the
Australian professional sprint cham

Not only Will these two men make
their bow. for Joe Fogler. the Brook

first race in the 1910 campaign. With
Fogler's first appearance he claims that
he will n a victory, and Is banking
on winning the one-mile ''repechage'
race, which is dividing honors with the
match race between Charley Stein and
Percy Lawrence as "T-H-E" event Of
the day. Lawson is also counting on
winning the event. as is Kramer. who
has fully recovered from his fall and

Ter and Lawson are moving like the
wind, as is Paddy Hehir, the little Aus
tralian. Freddy West and Freddy Hill
are also to be reckoned with, for both
are simply burning up the track with
their speed. The outcome of the match
Is watched with a great deal of inter-
est, for 1t brings together the two fast
