Como Sleep.

BY A. II. G.


Come sleep and steal our cares away
That rack the weary soul.
And lull until the light OF day
The heart grown tired and old
Come take US to the land Of dreams
Where We may roam a while,
One of the many paths that CLEAN,
Or through a long drawn aisle.
Come hide us from the endless strife
Where shadows darkly fall,
Across the fairest. brightest life
And sadly. sadly pail.
The lost hope and the failure dresr,
The pain and sorrow dark,
Take us from all and worldly fear.
Let burdens now depart.
Though we must wake again to toll
Blessed sleep close our tired eyes.
Let us forget the worlds turmoil
And all the mingled signs.
And then some day we'll sleep to wake
Beyond the realm of tears
And enter in the golden gate.
Some day in future years.

quartet; but the congregation had the oppor-
tunty to join in the singing of three familiar
hymns which enabled the writer TO put in
his big bass which greatly interested a little
boy OF six or seven years OF age, who sat Inn

MEN AND GUNS.

Unless the desertion of seventy sailors from
the batteship New Hampshire is followed by a
general walkout in the American Navy, it would
hardly be fair say they quilted the ship because
they feared some of the old guns might burst The
American sailor Is not built that way. Records
show that nearly 200 American sailors have gone
to their death and more than that number have
been injured by explosions of various kinds on
board our warships. and these men never thought
that what did happen was likely to occur at any
time. These seventy missing sailors probably
found Norfolk irresistible and will return in

CONDEMNS USE
OF STRONG DRINK
BAPTIST EVANGELIST TELLS
YOUNG MEN TO BEWARE

Use OF intoxicating spirits was con-

afternoon in the Bijou Theatre under
the auspices OF the Young Mems
Christian Association.
Young men," he said, every time
you take drink you are drinking
the tears Of mothers. wives and
daughters"
DR.. Wharton related in graphic
terms some OF the suffering that Is
caused by the demon rum. He also
took fall out of the man who swears.
That man. he said. should be driven
from the community where he be-
fouls the air with the vile use OF
Gods holy name. And above all. the
man to be most despised 10 he who
swears In the presence OF his wife
and children. or anybody's children.
Speaking of Sabbath dissertation.
Dr. Wharton said:
Men are to-day ruthlessly 6isobey-
ing the word of God, casting His holy
day aside and iaboring as they do
upon the other six. Unless we change
our methods. we will soon reach a
condition now prevalent upon the con-
tinent Of Europe, and will be unable
to detect Sunday from any other day
OF the week"
There is no abatement OF interest
in the revival services which DR..
Wharton has been conducting at
Grove Avenue Baptist church for the
last two weeks. Indications are that
the services will continue through this
week. Monday night DIR. Wharton
will preach from the subject: 'Heav-
