 First, Speaker Cannon asked Mir Un- 6erwood of Alabama. who will head

SUNDAY AT THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH

There was a good day at the Chris
tian church Sunday. \ gain of ten
in the Sunday school The sermon at
II o'clock on What Shall We Do
With Sunday?" was full of interest.
The sin of making Sunday a holiday
instead of a holy day was strongly
emphasized The wide-open Sunday
means physical, moral, mental and
spiritual degradation. The tendency
to reduce the American Sunday to
the standard of continental Europe
is deplorable.
The evening sermon was full Of in
terest, as it marked the beginning of
the series of Sunday evening sermons
on The Church" of which there are
to be seven in the course for the
next seven weeks. The Old Testa-
ment church was treated under the
heads of the family or patriarchal
worship the worship of the taber-
nacle, the worship of the temple, and
last of the synagogue. Special en-
phasis was placed upon sin and sclow
progress in the struggle of humanity
upward to the comprehension and
practice of a spiritual religion and
the righteous life. Family worship
and the early training of childhood
were urged as the most important
features of religious training.

r. S. HALLS CAR PENALIZED IN
THE GLIDDEN TOUR AT
PHILADELPHIA

The following account of the Gid
den tourists in Pennsylvania was sent
to the Times Union by Mr.. R. Meg.
West, its city editor, who is a member
of the party, from Gettysburg, Pa:
Over roads both good and bad, and
through a binding rain, for the most
part, the 1911 Glidden tourists today
fought their way across Pennsylva-
MIA to Gettysburg. 1t was a hard
drive of 120 miles. In spite of ad-
verse conditions, however, all cars
came through with perfect scores,
with the exception of eight.
The day, too, was not without acci-
dents, but none were of serious ma
ture.
Three Florida entrants suffered
penalties. D. H. Mcmillan, a Cadil-
lac, of the Florida team, had tire
trouble, and drew up four minutes
late at the noon control R. S. Hall,
Cadillac, of the same team, lost the
road out of Philadelphia, and was
penalized fifteen points for lateness,
while DR.. w. M. Stinson, driving a
Cadillac in the Live Oak team, also
drew penalty of three points, being
late in getting out of Philadelphia.
Two Florida teams still have per-
feet scores and they are out to win,
being the Jacksonville team, Claude
Nolan, H. P. Mcneil and H. c.. Den
mark, driving Cadillacs, and the Ev-
erglades team, H. B. Race, Cole; R.
S. King, Cadillac, and Julian How
ard, White ear.
H. B. Race had a narrow escape
from serious breakdown coming
through Columbia, Pa, running into
a bad place in the road at forty-eight
miles an hour. The axle was bent,
but the plucky Jacksonville driver
never hesitated, coming in on time.
Capt. W. j. Hillman of Live Oak is
one Of the most enthusiastic tourists
in the tour, and says that Florida
team is going to win the trophy.
All through Pennsylvania the re-
ception was cordial and enthusiastic.
Despite the rains, crowds lined the
streets in all cities and towns to
greet the tourists. After arrival in
Gettysburg, the party, under escort,
visited the National Park, and in the
evening a lecture on the great battle
of Gettysburg was given in the opera
house.

Bishop Gray at his mission in the Ev-
erglades of Florida among the Semi
mole Indians, and he is we'll versed
in the splendid work that is being
done there Mr. Little told many in
teresting and instructive anecdotes of
the habits, customs and superstitions
of these Indians, and of the increas-
ing confidence that the red men in
the Everglades are gaining in their
white brothers, and throughout his
lecture was a most pleasing one. At
the morning service at Grace church
Mr.. Little occupied the pulpit and
preached splendid sermon.
