MEN AND RELIGION
FORWARD MOVEMENT

Sunday, the 18th, a union meeting
was held for the Methodists and Pres
byterians in the Improvement club
hall. However, a great majority of
those for whom it was held. failed to
recognize its Importance, or they would
not have allowed a few showers to
keep them away. The "Men and Re-
lgiOn Forward Movement was up
for discussion.
This movement is not new Organi-
cation, but an effort of the mems So
cietes of the various churches, togeth-
err with the Sunday School Association
and the Y. M. G. A. to rouse the inter-
est and enlist the activities of men and
boys in religious work. and if possible.
to reach the 5000, 600 men and boys
needed to make the church as strong
in masculine membership as it is in
feminine.
Why should not the men of Fort
Pierce respond to this effort and help
along so worthy a movement? Are
they satisfied with the religious and
moral conditions here? When so many
of the boys and girls are entering upon
a course of immortality and wick dness.
when the very foundations of society
are endangered and it seems so hard
to keep our young people from vicious
influences, is it not time for the men
and women to be up and doing?
How foolish and wicked to pray,

lin his work of destruction.
A committee of laymen from each of
the Protestant churches has been
named by the pastors. and call for a
meeting of men will be made soon.
Speakers from Jacksonville will be
present to present the work of the
movement. A great rally will be held
in that city in February, and Fort
Pierce should have good delegation
in attendance.

out az he expected, and the water
was finally emptied out of the tub,
never to be replaced.
Henrik next removed the fish
from its tub and placed it on the
ground, where it Topped about

learned to mopve freely and

DISTRICT COURT

In the. district court this morn
ing Judge Taber granted the
motion of the defense made yes
terday in the Barry case, and
Instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict OF net guilty on the
ground that the evidence submit
ted by the state did not prove that
the checks upon which the indict-
ment was based, were forged.
Judge Taber also took 2otccassio on
say that the impression among
some people that he was fighting
the gamblers caused by the re-
mark made by him in sustaining
the demurrer in the Maher case
the other day that the decision he
was about the render went against
every fiber of his makeup, was
erroneous. That the remark was
not SO meant and had no reference
whatever to the merits Of the
gambling cases. The thought in
his mind was that sustaining the
demnrrcrs in the gambling cases
would cause additional expense to
the cou1ty% as, the grand Jury
would have to. be called together
again. and for! that reason he, re-
GREETED that it was necessary for.
him to sustain the contentious of
the defense. So far as the merits
of the cases were concerned, he
had not taken sides nor would he
further than his duties as Judge
compelled him to act.
At the afternoon session, The
remaining Indictments against Dan
Barry were dismissed on motion of
the district attorney and the defen-
dant was discharged from custody.
Barry left the court room smiling,
but was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Critchley on the charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses
