tor of the First Baptist
Church Here.
THOUGHTS ARE LOFTY
And a Lafge and r Representa-
tive Audience IS Inspired
by His Eloquence.


The bacalaurrate sermon before the
graduating class Of the clarksburg
High school was preached yesterday
morning at the First Baptist BY the
Rev DR.. w. c. Taylor pastor Of
the church.
He took for his text the eighteenth
verse Of the fourth chapter OF sec
ond Corinthians, while We look not
at the things that are seen, but the
things that are not seen. Tor the
things which are seen are temporal
but the things which are not seen
are eternal" The sermon was an
argument for the realty and the
power OF the things unseen and eter-
nal, as they exist in the spiritual life
of man both in time and eternity.
"A strong contrast was drawn be-
tween the materialism OF the word
IN the days Of Paul and Jesus on the
one hand and the emphasis placed
ON the spiritual life on the other.
The claim Of the sermon was that
the world today is essentially about
what 1t was when the gospel had It's
beginnings and that azdue apprecIa-
ton of the things that are spiritual
and eternal is mans only relief
from sordid worldliIess:
Among other things the preacher
said: when Jesus came the world
was saying blessed are themighty for
theirs are the trumpets Of eternity,
but the Master said, blessed are
the pure in heart for they shall see
God. The world was saying,
Dressed are the mighty for theirs are
tho monopolies of the world but
Jesus said, blessed are the meak
for they shah inherit the earth
The world that cur Lord found was
Infused with pride, setashness and
greed. In Judea, as in Rome, great
colossal fortunes stood out like
Islands in a vast sea OF surgtng,
choking poverty. Plutocrats domi-
mated life and the masses of men
were poor, submerged and without
ambition or hope. Jesus touched
human life by touching the life
springs Of the soul. He awakened
the soul to Just sense of its divine
meaning and purpose. In response
to his appeal busy handed men Of
wealth left their common pursuits
to become His disciples. Rich
publicans consecrated their business
training and their wealth to the ser
vices of charity and religion, 1t

and they will add to the attractive

bees in house-apiaries. When I open
one of these hives the bees do not fly
up with the same alacrity that bees
do from the hives that stand in the
sunshine.
The house contains twenty colonies
of bees in two tiers Of hives. The
broad side Of the house which is in
view faces eastward, and the end
southwark; there are no hives facing
the other two directions.
The hives in this house are known
by the name, "Long Idea" They hold
crosswise, twenty Langstreth frames
each. They are expressly used for
extracting honey.
One row Of hives is set on frame
just high enough for me to be able to
raise the covers, and look into them
comfortably, and the other row rests
on the floor. I might add that the
hives are only one story, so there is
no use for queen-excluders, and no
tiering to be done.
There are no bees at large in the
house, excepting few which leave
while handling the combs, and these
quickly make their escape by way of
the windows, which are left open all
summer for ventilation. The netting
on the windows is so arranged that
the bees can leave the room, but can
not enter 1t.
The awning over the windows is to
prevent the rain from coming in while
the windows are left open. The hive
entrances match the corresponding
slots in the sides of the house, and
when the bees enter the slot, or en-
trance, they go directly to their re.
spective hives.
Each alternate entrance is painted
dark color; this is for the purpose Of
helping the bees. to mark their right
hive.

VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for the Tourist In This
Picturesque City Of
Italy.

To the wanderer in Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or better still by moonlight.
and you will fancy yourself trans.
planted to some city of dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear of to
some extent, although there is never.
at any time, as much hustle and stir
In Venice as in other towns. Morn
Ing, noon or night, Venice has fas-
cination all her own. This Is partly
due to the fact that she is q city built
on the water.
To explore Venice and TO become In
timateiy acquainted with her, gon-
dola Is not a necessity, rather It IL
luxury for sunset evenings and
moonlight nights. It is a delightful ex-
perience, and not difficult one. to
find ones way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world corners are discover
ed, bits Of ancient architecture, carved
doorways and little bridges, with a
feast Of color here, there and every
where. Apart from all the beauty Of
scenery, there is the enthralling inter.
est evoked by her history and tradi.
lions.
Among the traditions we read that
st. Theodore was the first patron saint
Of Venice, to be superseded later on
by st. Mark. The wanderer in Ven.
ice becomes familiar with the Lion
Of st. Mark. More prominently than
anywhere is it to be seen on one of the
the other is st. Theodore. These col.

inally from Syria. They were erect
