The womb Of nature Is never bar

1t is never out of commission. AS
| long as the rains descend, the sun
shines, and the earth holds together,

Flowers will blossom, corn tassel,
| fruits ripen and the process of fructi-
| f1cation in endless evolution will keep
steadily on. There is no cessation in
natures laws: no stoppage, no retro
gression in her movements.
God, as a designer, architect. builder
| and laborer, was no blunderer.
The earth will yield as quickly and
as abundantly to the dilligent and
slxillful touch of labor today as it re-
sponded in the beginning, when Cain
began his first experiments as an agrt-
culturist.
In the countless years that have
preceded US. had the earth been a
million times more populous, were 1t
| a million times older than it is, and
a million times more populous today.

pacious and prolific womb to sustain
| in comfort every living creature, and
an abundance to spare.
Read the story of creation as re-
corded in Genesis. and what do we
! find?
We find that out of the soil Of the
earth-the dust of the ground"-God
| fashioned man with his own hands in
| his own image, and every day man is
becoming more and more like God,
and as he more and more takes on
this infinity, the world becomes more
beautiful, the subject of speech and
action is freer and more tolerant,
/ mans relation to man sweeter. and
the creation of God is seen to be more
sublime, boundless, unfathomable and
| more glorious.
We find in this simple and sublime
story that God gave man dominion
over the fishes of the sea, the fowls
| of the air, and the beasts of the field,
yet in this almost universally accepted
story of creation we nowhere find that
God gave man dominion over man.
God didn't Ito Cain, Thou shalt
! have dominion over Abel or to Abel,
Thou shalt have dominion over
CAIN" nor did he say to Cain, "The
earth and the fullness thereof is be-
queather to you and your descendants
as an Inheritance forever, to the ex-
clusion of Abel and his descendants"
| but the earth was given to all for the
use of all, and if the command to
| labor were literally obeyed, and every
man had his share of the earth on
which to labor, it would be found that
Gods gift were prodical enough to
go around, and no creature under
Gods green footstool would suffer for
want or the ever present and haunting
| fear of want.
This appalling shadow hides the
beauties of Gods munifcence to more
than nine tenths of the population of
the earth because Gods laws are in
| tervened and contravened by mans
laws which are superinduced by his
avarice.

True Dignity Of Toll

Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens:
l feel profoundly honored in being
invited to participate in the celebra-
ton of this day.
II had the making Of the calendar
on which are noted in red letters the
honorary. patriotic and festal days
legal holidays which are to be joyfully
celebrated and commemorated -
should put labor day at the top Of the
column high above them all.
Why?
Because labor is life.
II there should be a surcase from
labor-if all men were to stop sowing,
reaping and distributing, even for a
single year-the population Of the
earth, the rich the same as the poor,
would die from the bitter pains OF
hunger.
There is a funeral A rich man dies
and bequeaths to his immediate des-
cendants huge bundles OF stocks and
bonds and great heaps of silver and
gold, yet comfortable and convenient
as these possessions are, they do not
lift their inherttors away from their
dependence on the man who tolls.
For the possibility of existence, for
the blessings and enjoyments of life,
the man with his bags of gold is as
dependant on the efforts and the sue
cess of the man who produces as if
he didn't own penny.
Why?
The answer to the question is given
in the prayer taught us by the great
teacher: Give us this day our daily
bread 20
The bread that sustains and is di-
vinely proclaimed the "staff of life, -
must be constant and re-current.
The bread of yesterday will not
sunhce. Like the mamma fed to the
children of Israel in the wilderness,
Il must be gathered daily.
Human mouths must have fresh
food-the rich man cannot live on
the milk, and butter and eggs, left
him by his ancestors.
And the command-what is it?
This bread must be obtained in the
sweat that toll produces.
The command to labor was univer-
sal in it's application. There were no
favorities and no exemptions. 1t APP
piled to every human creature when
it was given, and the command is still
in force.
And before giving the command to
labor God himself first set the exam
pie.
He digniheld it, adorned it, beauti-
fed it.
Listen again:
When his marvellous creation was
finished, God was satisfied with the
work of his hands, and pronounced
upon 1t a benediction.
And we are told that lie rested from
his labors
A man who has never labored has
never been in a position to enjoy rest
The person who performs a piece
Of labor that meets and merits the
appreciation of his own heart, mind
and conscience, is in a position to en-
joy that rest which God vouchsafes
to the laboring world, and this rest
which is perfect and joyful rest-can
be obtained in no other manner.
And Gods work, how perfect it is.

CHRISTMAS AND THE
DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA
BY J. p. ROBERTS, JR.

While those with whom fortune has
dealt kindly during the past twelve
months are preparing to celebrate the
Christmas season with festivities of
various kinds, and are looking forward
to the approaching holidays in joyous
anticipation of the pleasures awaiting
them, when they will partake freely
of the luxuries of life, there is an or
ganiZation of quiet, unassuning, noble
minded women diligently at work in
Pensacola arranging for the care and
comfort of those who have been less
fortunate, devising ways and means
of carrying the Christmas spirit into
the homes of those who have felt the
sting of poverty. 1t is the aim of these
Christian hearted women to provide
a way for these people to enjoy the
Yuletide season, and in their efforts,
they will. no doubt, receive the hearty
cooperation of practically every per-
son in the city, who is able, in any
way, to contribute to this worthy
cause. The organization referred to is
the Daughters of Isabella
This society celebrated its fourth
anniversary in this city in November
and ever since it's organization it has
NVed up to it's beautiful motto, Unity
and Charity" and many homes have
been cheered and many hearts have
been gladdened because of its benign
influence. Many a careworn face has
been made to become radiant as re-
suit Of a helping hand from these good

people just at the right time and many
a respondent spirit has been led to
take a new lease on life and to regain
confidence in humanity by learning
that charity is not an extinct virtue
through the agency of the Daughters
of Isabella, who, year in and year out,
make it their duty to look for those
who are in distress and who daily
emulate the example of the good Sa-
marian, and endeavor to abide by the
rule prescribed by Him Whose birth
Christmas day celebrates. 1t is for
this reason, and not for the sake of
any publicity or vain glory that the
organization has voluntarily taken
upon themselves the work Of creating
a Christmas for those who would not
otherwise enjoy the season. and it is
proper that they should. be given all
the assistance and cooperation pos
sible.
One of the commendab1e features
about the plans of the Daughters of
Isabella is that the charitable work
which they have set out to do is not
to be confined to their denomination.
They are endeavoring to assist every
family in Pensacola needing assist
ance. irrespective of denomination or
creed, and persons asked to contribute
to the fund which they are raising
may rest assured that in contributing
they are helping a charitable cause
and not any clique or clan.
Naturally, the first ones to be

thought Of in planning for Christmas
celebrations are the children and this
society has made no exception to the
rule in this instance. The first thing
they intend doing is to arrange a
Christmas tree for the poor children,
who will, no doubt, be overlooked at
other Christmas trees. For all such
children a Christmas tree will be pre-
pared at the Knights of Columbus hall
on Friday night before Christmas, and
Old Santa Claus will be there to show
the little fellows that they are not
forgotten by st. Nicholas and to make
them feel that their pleasure is due
as much consideration as that of the
children of wealthy parents.
However. the work does not stop
with the preparing of the Christmas
tree. but will extend into the homes
of Sthe needy, as the good women in
teT,ested in this project intend looking
aft.r the physical welfare of the pow
ertf stricken and have planned to pre-
pate baskets of good things to eat,
so that people of this class may gather
round the festive board on Christmas
day and appease their hunger, and
thus be fitted for enjoying the spirit
OF the day on a more equal footing
with their fellow-men.
In order that none may be sighted,
the members OF this society request
those who know of any families in
need to report their names and ad-
dresses to them, so that they may pro-
vide for them. In the meantime a
committee will be on the lookout for
such cases and will also solicit aid
from the business people and others
who may feel an interest in the cause,
SO that with a little cooperation they
feel sure that no family in the CITY
will be neglected or overlooked on
this occasion.

Thirty-two years ago, when Edison IN
vented the incandescent electric lamp he saw,
in his dream Of the FUTURE every nome equipped
with electric SERVICE He foresaW, thirty-two
years ago, that the ideal home Of the future
would include not only electric lighting, but also
electric cooking and heating.
His dream Electric light for everybody"
has come true for those who will read and heed
The Edison Mazda lamp with its non-fragi1e
flament, made from drawn wire stronger than
steel, brings electric lighting within everybody's
REACH This lamp gives three times the light of
the ordinary carbon Mament lamp Using the
same current.
The carbon fi1ament lamp was good the
tungsten lamp was better, but the sturdy Edison
Mazda lamp is the last word in lighting because
1t combines durability with the highest efficiency
known
But perfected lighting is only one econom-
ical advance in electricity. Electric cooking has
come and many electrical appliances that are in
dispensibe in the modern home.
You can now get an Electric Iron, Sewing
Machine Motor, Chatting Dish, Toaster Stove,
Coffee Perco1ator, Fire1ess Cooker, or a complete
Electric Kitchen Range durable, satisfying and
economical
So the prophetic vision Of Edison, the great
INVENTOR has come home for all of Us. The
wonderful new Edison Mazda lamps and many
of the electrical devices can be found at Our

Nearly all sections Of the
State have lately had rains so
that the situation as regards APP
pies certainly ought not to grow
any worse, and it is believed that
it will materially improve as adj
ditional moisture in the soil will

that nothing can prevent an
apple crop which will be full

Missouri's Fruit Outlook.

The State Board of Horticul-
ture is in receipt of special re-
ports from correspondents in all
Of the counties Of the State
the outlook for the apple crop
has declined seven points, the
present estimate being thirty
per cent of a full crop. The
peach situation remains practi-
cally unchanged, the present es-
innate being 2S.2 per cent as
against 1872 per cent a month
ago. Since a large number Of
these reports are based upon
seeding peaches, the estimate
will have to be cut in half. The
outlook for grapes is excellent
the average for the State being
seventy-five to eighty per cent.
Blackberries and similar fruits
were almost a failure except in
the southwestern counties.
There is some complaint of
drought injury but it does not
seem to be serious. Unless there
are heavy rains apples will be
smaller than usual but the color
and quality will be unusual
ly good. Fruit has dropped bad
ly where trees were unSprayed
and uncultivated. There is no
rot but scab is prevalent. A de-
tanned summary follows:
In the northwestern section
where most of the apples were
produced last year, the weather
has been very dry. There is
some injury from the drought
particularly in unsprayed and
uncultivated orchards. The pres
ent estimate is 81 per cent of a
crop, a decline of six per cent
in a month. Heavy rains have
just fallen there which will
greatly improve the situation.
Grapes promise from 80 per cent
to rs per cent of a full crop but
blackberries and raspberries are
a failure.
In the northeastern section, APP
pies promise 40 per cent, a de-
cline of only a little more than
one point. The same is true OF
peaches. Slight drought injury
