A BRICK HOUSE BY MAIL
$4,000 Sent by Parcel Post to Chi
eagO---A Test Being Made Of
Uncle Sans Service.

Mr.. j. j. Phillips, Of the Brook
haven Pressed Brick & Mfg. Co.,
sent by Parcel Post yesterday a
brick Of local manufacture to be
used in building a brick house at
the Coliseum, Chicago. during the
Clay Products Exposition which is
to be held February 26th to March
9Th. This brick will be one of 25,-
600 sent by parcel post from every
brick plant in the United States to
be used in the construction Of this
house, which will be given away
and re-erected after the exposition.
The idea Tas originated to test
the merits of the Parcel Post sys-
tenn and it is certainly novel one.
A record will be kept of each brick
from the time the brick is mailed
until il is delivered IN Chicago in
order to see how speedily Uncle
Sam can deliver a brick house by
mail.
It is probable that Uncle Sans
mail carriers in Chicago will not
Ee overly enthusiastic for this
method Of delivery of a brick
house. Other mail carriers
throughout the country will watch
the experiment with interest and
fear and trembling. While the
brick iireproof home is becoming
more and more popular because of
its permanency. economy and
superiority, it is not probable that
they will be delivered by mail to
any slarming extent.
At any rate the Brookhaven
Pressed Brick q Mfg. Co. will
have a brick in the first brick house
ever sent by mail.

A PREACHER SPEAKS OUT.
Pastor Morgan Speaks Out in Sun
days Sermon Christian People
Permit Conditions.

Rev. w. II. Morgan, pastor of
the Baptist Church, took his text
from Matt. 60 last Sunday morn
ing and spoke on "HalIowing Gods
Name" The third point taken by
the earnest and sincere preacher of
righteousness and of the judgment
to come" and that ''now is'' upon
us, referred to honoring God
through obedience to Him as Our
Father.
This loyal minister of the Word
and practical citizen said:
I'VE may even pray and sing
and weep on Sunday and at church.
and leave the house Of God and
live nnthoughtfnl and unmindfuI Of
the need of haliowing the name Of
our Father in our actual living.
Do we want to honor and hallow
Gods name! Obey Him. Obey
Him in the home. obey Him in our
social life, obey Him in our BUSH
ness, obey Him In our public and
political life.
1t was because Of lack Of
obedience to God that we per-
mitted a place and conditions to
exist in the very heart of our town
In which the awful tragedy of last
night could be enacted. At the
bedside Of the unfortunate victim
in the last hour of his life one man
stood and said that the demon of
jealousy caused il all; another, that
sin was only showing its finished
work; and | said that while both
observations we're perhaps true, it
was just as really true that this
awful thing had happened and
could be accounted for as surely by
the negligence Of Gods people, and
the diIatoriness and disobedience Of

The prevailing element in our
town is Christian, and if we are to
pray in the spirit Of this prayer it
must be that we shall live in the
spirit Of it, and to do that which
would mean the absolute impossi-

as were revealed IN the diseracefnl

TWO OR MORE LIVES OF MEN
HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN
HOUSES OF ILL-FAME

within the last FIVE months right
here in our midst. Other equally
reprehensible crimes at like places
have occurred. That arrests of the
persons charged with murder
should follow were expected. That
there were prosecutions of the
gamblers. some of them, and of the
liquor sellers, some of them, were
expected. That these numerous
crimes should be committed right
in Brookhaven at places where lewd
women we're the star actors. and
where they continue to live at their
well-known places. and which men
are seen to visit both at night and
in broad daylight, and then no
prosecutions are lodged against
these women of ill-fame and mo-
body demands their punishment is
simply astounding to the sensibili-
ties Of Christian citizenship.
