tudes of life and to overcome disease
than the one who has no such faith.
A truly religious man makes better
patient than an irreligious man.
In using the word religion. am
not referring to any particular kind of
religion. The Jew, and the Gentle,
the Catholic and the Protestant, each
have religion in which thew believe.
They also agree in the essentials.
A religious man may believe that it
is necessary for him to use every
means in his power to get well. He
may believe that 1t is perfectly prop
er for him to employ doctors and take
medicines But he also believes that
when he has done the best he can
there Is a higher power that has
charge of his affairs. that absolute
justice will be done him, that no evil
thing can befall a good man. He
goes forward with confidence, sick or
we'll. rich or poor. and gets a great
deal more comfort out of life than
the man who has no religion.
have found myself saying many
times to people who have chronic
| ailment, you need religion as we'll as
medicine You need faith in an ov-
erruling providence that guides every.
thing to wise ends: that the afflictfon
of disease teaches lesson that every
one should strive to learn"
This does not mean that sick PEG
pie are to sit down and trust that ar
overruling providence will do every
thing. Nothing of the sor4. He is te

that in the end all things will com,
out right. Any medicine has a bette
chance to cure man who holds sucl

| Some men are so faithless and un
believing so restless and desperate
!, their minds SO unsettled, that evel
the best of medicine has little chanc
to do them any good. Therefore

provides salvation in the world to
come, but soundness of body and
mind in the world that is.
Yes, there is most intimate rela-

Other things beng equal, the irrelig

religious man frequently gets well in
the most astonishing way after the
doctors have all given him up to die.
With firm faith In rational relig-

"A Reformer...

"Ticket for Buffalo," said a
young lady, opening her satchel and
hunting for her portemonnaie. Then
suddenly she exclaimed: "Oh,
heavens: I've been robbed -
1.-Two tickets to Buffalo," said
young man next in line.
The tickets were handed out, paid
for and one of them slipped into
the girls hand before she had time
to recover from the effect of her
loss.
The young man caught up suit
case the girl had set down beside
her and hurried her off to the train.
Having found her a seat and racked
her suit case, he was about to leave
her when she made room for him
beside her.
''Please let me know who you
are and the price of the ticket that
may send you the amount.
The young man took an old en-
velope from his pocket, wrote on it
John Sparklin, with his address and
gave it to her. Then they fell to
talking of how the thief could have
got the pocketbook.

NIGHT CLASSES HAVE BEEN
STARTED FOR THE WINTER
SEASON AND THE ATTENDANCE
Is LARGE,

Any one interested in education or

repaid by visiting the night classes
just started for the winter season by
the educational department of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
For those to whom the letters ~. M
c. A" mean only gymnasium and
reading room, 1t would be a real eye
opener to see more than fifty boys
who are already lined up for the va
rious courses Of studies coming in
night after night, eager for business
It is significant that many Of this
years boys have taken the classes
one or more years already and are
now coming for more advanced work.
The school has this year five boys
classes as compared to two last year,
and under the club PLAN a teacher
and a course is arranged for in any
subject that a group of boys or young
men are interested in. To show the
range covered. among these clubs
there is one which will embrace a
complete course in civil engineering,
another group is especially being
planned for foreigners who wish to
learn English, and a Spanish Con-
versation Club" with an Al teacher
is assured and will begin next week.
Many of the students naturally are
taking courses such as the CONNER
cial work which gives a direct money
return in heavier pay envelopes or
better paying jobs in the near future.
Quite a group, however, have asked
for courses that are not of the bread
and butter sort. but viii broaden the
outlook all round. Such a group Is
that taking college preparatory work.
This group fits exactly those who are
not able to finish high school. All
this means that the various classes
and courses are meeting real needs
for the boys and young men of Pen
sacola, and more than anything this
fact Is making the whole enterprise
seem worth while to those responsible
for planning and supporting the work
of the institution.

FIND REASON FOR HEAVY
IMMIGRATION OF CHINESE

San Francisco. Oct. Immigration
Commissioner Backus. and Assistant
Commissioners Edsall of this city de-
clared today they had found the ex-
PLANTATION of the recent heavy migra-
ton Of Chinese to Mexico.
Two hundred Chinese coolies. bound
for Mexicali. Mex. were aboard the
liner Korea which arrived here eev-
srai days ago. investigating the
question of the legality of their pas
rage through this port, the commits
sioners learned that word had been
spread In China that Mexico was
about to be annexed. to the United
States and that the way to enter this
country was to get into Mexico and
be absorbed.
Thousands of Chinese have been
crowding Mexico within the last few
months, according to Commissioner
Edsall and he attributes the movement
entirely to the rumor of impending
annexation
