The Sehab}rtS 0. K,

Those who were fortunate
enough to hear the Schuberts
Quartet last Saturday night in
the H. S. Auditorium. had a
rare treat indeed. There never
has come to our town lyceum
attraction or any other kind of
an entertainment the equal Of
these talented four. High class?
Yes, is was. But there is moth
ing too good, or of too high or
der for tho people Of Rural Re
treat aud vicinity. Some may
not have fully appreciated the
classical music. But for those,
there were comedy, humorous re-
citals and scngs-a N st excellent
variety program, clean, pure aud
full of iisnirational and educa-
tioual value. In fact, II lyceum
conrse that does not possess these
virtues, as we'll as the humorous
and laugh making features, is
not worthy of the name.
The primary object of any ly-
ceum work is to stimulate aud
educate a taste for the highest
and best in the way of public en-
tertainment.
To mako money should be a
secondary consideration. If we
never set high ideals before the
young people and the Older, AS
for that matter there is no chance
for growth and uplight. 1t has
never been our aim to buy only
the dry and classical programs
but to have a good variety of
comedy, fun, humor, music,
song and representations. The
intense interest and the most ex
cellent order of the large au.ii-
ence that greeted the representa-
tives of some of the best talent in
the country, afford unmistake-
able evidence that our people as
a class, know a good thing when
they soc 1T. Therefore, we feel
sure you do not want to miss the
next and last number of this sea-
son, the Cambridge Players
which will come to us about the
last Of March. This attraction
by a company of tour people will
come within easier range of ov-
cry body and cannot fail to please
all. Come out, continue TO give
this noble work your good sup
port and help us to maintain a
Lyceum Course that will make
Rural Retreat stand prominent
as a centre of culture, refinement
and education for town of
greater proportions and preten-
tions.
Very respectfully yours,
G. w. Davis and w. r Bowers,
Managers.

Our home is purely faith home.

Our children have learned that
all they have to wear, their home

God. When they see an offer

Lords working in this part of the
Lords harvest fields.
There is no such thing as
Home and Foreign missions
with the Lord. There is only
one field and he is the Lord OF
harvest. Our Lords last COM
mission was to eco into all the
world and preach the gospel to
to every creature" All cannot
go III person but all can go eth
or by prayer or giving of their
means, or by going personally.
The Lord rewards all equally il
done from the heart. The Lord
loveth a cheerful giver, so no mat
ter what we give whether our
time, ourselves, our money, or
whatever the Lord wants and
honors II done cheerfulIy. Our
Heavenly Father cheerfully gave
his only bagotten Son to this
world TO save us from our SINS
and teach us the way to glory.
Praise His holy name.
Never before in Ghlna's his
tory was she so open to receive
the gospel. The people SINCE the
recent war want to hear. Many
souls are longing for freedom
from the awful bondage and fear
of heathenism. 1t is awful.
When one enters a heather tenn
Pile you can feel the DEVILS power
SO strongly. It is enough to
scare enc to see their hideous
idols. The first unusallyis an
immense idol Of Buddha. La a
large temple this may be as tall
us a two story house and made
of brass and often enclosed in a
glass case. His attendants al
so brass are around him ready to
run any errands he may wish.
In front Of eachldol holder where
the worshippers before they wor-
ship place their burning incense
sticks You pass into another
room full of immense idols many
the most hideous faces you ever
-saw. They make them to scare
the people into doing what they
consider right. They always de-
p ,slt some mOney TO worship.
Every tell pile has it's fortune tel
Ter priest. People go to him aud
pay money and he either has a
lot Of sticks or roll Of paper
an they draw one which tells
them which idol to worship and
what failure they will have.
In one temple where | visited
there was a room containing five
hullred idols. just think Of it.
| never saw such d sight There
were many worshippers and the
room was blue with incense
smoke. The friends i'll the home
land cannot, or do not begin to
imagine the awfulness Of heath
enism and it's fruits, When the
brothers become converted they
are so happy. Their faces bear
a different expression. One can
tell a heather from a christian by
the expression of his face. The
heatnen's faces are always very
dark and generally unhappy
looking.
l thank and praise God that
He by his grace called me forth
to open d home for homeless
waits and orphans. Six months
ago most of our girls were real
heathens havingnever even Heard
the name Of Jesue. They were
running wild, eating and sleeping
whore they could, and having no
one to care for them. This was
the condition of most of them
when they come to us. Now
what a great change III their iv-
ing. They are so happy, love to
sing, pray and worship our low
ing Saviour. 1t is so precious to
see them and hear them. 1t is
marvellous. IL any are sick they

hears and answers prayer. At
present we have eleven girls in

Japan A
Popu1ous Country.

While a few enthusiasts look on ia
pan as being one of the greatest and
strongest countries on the globe, the
majority of people go to the other eX-
IRENE and underestimate the wealth
and power of the island. In area, of
course, Japan is small when compared
with such countries as the United
States or Russia, but in population,
Japan is one of the big nations.
Japan has a population of 100000
not counting the Koreans or Formo-
sans. They have more than 5000, 900
subjects in Formosa and 100000 in
Korea.
The population of Japan is as
large as that of Austria Hungary.
il exceeds the population of the British
Isles by 100000 and is far greater
than either France or Italy. It has
more population than Spain, Holland
Bulgaria, Switzerland, Servia, Sweden.
Greece. Denmark and Norway, all put
together.
STILL the United States has little
reason to fear Japan and the little
brown men may get into trouble with
some European country a long time
before they think Of fighting the Amer
leans.

The Jubilee
Of The Kaiser.

The emperor Of Germany has reigned
% years and Germany will hold a big
jubilee next week in COMMUNICATION
% the event.
1t is difficult for Americans to I'M
derstand the homage paid to kings by
subjects or TO sympathiZe with the
toadyism and sycophancy that goes
with bowling down to those who think
they rule by divine right. In this
country every man is a sovereign.
Still, during the quarter of a CEN
tury the war lord has ruled Germany
he has placed his empire in the front
rank of the industrial. commercial, ma
Val and military powers OF the world.
If the Germans were not a wonder
fu people they could not stand UP and
prosper under the enormous expense
of taxation for the great military and
naval equipments the emperor main
tains.
These expenditures are increasing
rapidly and just how long the patience
on the phlegmatic German will stand
the strain is one of the problems OF
this generation.

Advertising By
Circulars.

The New York Herald has a very
timely article on foolish methods of
advertising and of money wasted in
that way. The article calls particular
attention to a habit in so many cities
of advertising by means Of circulars.
When these are neatly folded, Placed
in envelopes and mailed, the plan is
poor enough, because they are seldom
opened and read and the system is
somewhat expensive at that. But about
the most absurd method of advertising
that now prevails is the promiscuous
distribution Of circulars. 1t is a COM
mon method, however, and shows a
persistence worthy of a better cause.
Circulars are stuffed in letter boxes
at front doors, showed under the doors
and thrown on porches and lawns.
They are offensive to the eyes of the
neat housekeeper and they invariably
receive scant attention. Not one in a
hundred is read. They are cast in the
waste basket or garbage can and the
result shows the advertiser has spent
his money to little purpose.
Business men should get away from
this primitive method The purchasing
public looks to the newspapers to find
out what is for sale and the experience
of all successful houses shows that
newspaper advertising is by far the
best advertising.

ON THE SPUR OF

A SoiiloduN-

A Soiiioquy.
To mote or not to mote-that is the

Whether it is nob,er in the mind to

And walk, or hike or hire a horse and

Or take up arms against a sea of

OF gasoline that's boosted to the

Or is it best to walk and never know
them,
Or travel in the hot and dusty tram

STARS AND STRIPES
1876 YEARS OLD JUNE 4

Editor Pensacola Journal
On June 14th, 1777, the Stars and
Stripes were adopted as the flag of
this American nation. Tomorrow, June
14th, has been set apart as Flag Day.
The public schools throughout the
land, all public buildings and many
private homes, every American vesse3,
no matter what country she is in or
what sea she sails on, fys our banner
at full mast, and every American SOL
der will lift his hat to his colors on
this day again.
In talking with a lady who adorned
her house with the colors on Memorial
Day last, this is what she told me:
My husband and myself are English
born. We have lived in Pensacola for
thirteen years. We ike the customs
Of the American people. We are in
love with this country and all it stands
for and we manifest our love in this
way" Can Americans do less.
"One flag, one land, one nation ever
more.
And with love for the oppressed, with
blessings for scars.
One country, one banner-the stripes
and Stars"
