DUCKING
CONDITIONSSHOW
IMPROVEMENT

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. Dec Is
Duck shooting on the Susequehanna
Flats has SO much improved WITHIN
the last 10 days that sportsmcn and
market gunners are much encouraged
and many believe that the lack OF
sport and success during November
will be more than made up this
month
During the last week weather con-
ditions were ideal and ducks, espcci-
ally canvas-backs, were so plentiful
that both local and out-of-town
eportsmen usually came in with large
bags Many outfits shot in one uay
as many as 20 pairs OF canyasharKs,
besides a number of redheads. black
heads. black ducks and other less de-
sirable varieties.
irrespective of the fact that ducks
OF an varieties were more numerous
on the flats this November than in
many years the first month OF the
season is claimed to have been the
poorest for the out-of-tOwn sportsmen
in five years. This state of affairs
is due entirely TO the unfavorable
weather conditions An ideal ducking
day is one IN which there is a south
west breeze sufficient to cause the
decoys to move about and thus take
on a more lifeiike appearance. and
also to cause all noises such as re-
ports OF guns and the chug of rhe
motorboats to be waited in but one
direction up the river. November had
but two such days and exceptionally
large bags were then made.
This week will practically end the
season for out-Of-tOwn spOrtsmen, as
the weather is too cold for them to lie
out in sink boxes without much dis
comfort Many viii likely return in
the spring for few days sport when
the ducks stop here for a short tyne

THREE GREAT SERMONS
At HAM REVIVAL

At II o'clock at the tent yesterday
Evangelist Ham spoke on the words
of Paul, For me to live is Christ and
to die is gain" He said that few
people in the churches could say "for
me to live is Christ" and all who
could not say this could not say for
me to die is gain" Death is gain only
to those who live for Christ. No man
Lives for Christ if he loves anything
more than the Lord or If he puts any
thing before his Lord. Many OF you
church members are making the Lord
last He can come in after all the
pleasures of sin have had their round
in your life. Where is the man or
woman who would invite the Lord
Jesus to go with them into ballroom
or gambling den? You know better
than to do that But if, as Paul says,
1t is Christ for you to live where you
go. where you exist when you live
Christ is there and you take him as
an unwilling guest into these places
! if indeed he is in you. He pictured the
scene of the sinking of the Titanic
and said if only Paul could have been
there he would have stood up on That
old raft and cried out, "If you have
Christ in you, you can never die!
Men believe in the Lord Jesus and
these waves can not overflow your
souls and this bodily death will only
liberate the souls for the paradise OF
God" The incident thrilled every
heart and the spirit of God was felt
throughout the large audience.
He closed by asking the audience
to go home and in their closets ask
themselves honestly this question
What is it for me to live?
For some it is money.
For some it is love.
For some it is worldly pleasures, bu'
in neither of these is there gain II
death. This can only be when for yor
to live is Christ.

TITANIC LOSS TURNS
HALL GAME TO POETRY.

London, April 22.-Hall Game, the
famous English novelist, has written
the following hymn under the title;
Hymn for the Survivors of the
Titanic" Ito tune of God Our Help in
Ages Past'O:
Lord of the everlasting hills,
God of the boundless sea,
Help US through all the shocks of fate
To keep our trust in Thee.
When Natures unrelenting arm
Sweeps us like withes away,
Maker of Man. be Thou our strength
And our eternal stay.
When blind, insensate, heartless force
Puts out our passing breath,
Make us to see Thy guiding light,
In darkness and in death.
Beneath the roll OF soundless waves
Our best and bravest lie;
Give us to feel their spirits live
Immortal In the sky.
We are Thy children, frail and small.
Formed OF the lowly sod.
Comfort our bruised and bleeding
souls,
Father and Lord and God.

The Eagle is glad to note that Mr.
Carnes has again re-entered the field
of journalism. He is too good a writer
for his pencil to remain idle and the
loss would be too great to the press
of the state. East Texas is to be con-

Carthage East Texas Register will be
anxiously awaited by The Eagle office.

DR.. Frann Crane says If man were
to practice keeping still year he
might understand the speech of birds
and catch the words of waters and
gestures of trees. That is certainly a
beautiful thought. There is no doubt
but that we lose much of the deeper
and sublimer things of nature by the
constant gable we keep up. When
Elijah stood at the entrance to the
cave he did not perceive God in the
whirlwind, nor the fire, but caught his
message in still small voice"
