There was a great deal of criticism
of Secretary Bryan when he said to
the conferees who were negotiating
a division OF the territory captured
from Turkey that the United States
would regard with satisfaction the
granting of full religious liberty to ev-
erybody in the conquered territory.
But Mr.. Bryan's representations seem
to have borne good fruit for, accord
ing to the American Jewish commit
tee, there have been ample assurances
given that Jews are to receive the
same consideration as other inhabi-
tants of the former Turkish domin-
ions. The results of our governments
note to the conferees proves that the

in other nations affairs, as was
charged by opponents of the admins

AFTER THE STORM

Past is the storm; in the path of its
fury
Ruin lies naked, and pallid and CORY.
After the storm, ruin marks mornings

Flamed in Aurora's soft splendors, su-
pernal,
Ominous, latent, the storm-fires, in
fernal-
After the storm. leaving darkness,
nocturnal.
Past though the storm, yet in reflex
commotion
Murmurs the forest, and low means
the ocean
After the storm nature sobs with emo
ton.
Still float the fragments of clouds,
lightning-riven,
Over the deep azure, like souls, de-
mOn-driven-
After the storm broods this calm of
the even.
More dread than storm, waging death
and perdition,
Direly fulfilling the morn's Fremont
ton
After the storm is the calm's mani
tion.'
Thus has life's storm wrought my
souls devastation,
Flashed forth hell's blackness from
heavens coruscation-
After the storm left the calm's DESC
lation.
Still like the waves of a tempest
swept ocean,
Rolling. and moaning in reflex commo-
After the storm sobs my soul with
emotion.
Joyless this calm to my soul, tempest
riven,
Vanquished though hell, yet restored
not is heaven
After the storm, dread this calm of
life's even.

paAY Mor As rHE HYpocRITEs

Bot when ye pray, use not vain re-.
petitions. as the heathens do; for
they think that they shall be heard
Cor their much speaking.
Re not ye therefore like unto them;
for your Father knoweth what things
ye have need OF before We ask him.
After this manner, therefore, pray
we: Our Father which art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done I'm earth, as II is in heaven.
Give US this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts, as we for
give our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil; for thine is the
Kingdom and the power, and the glory
forever. Amen.
For II We forgive men their tres
passes. your heavenly Father will alst
forgive you.
But IL We forgive not men their tres
passes, neither will your Father for
give your trespasses.
Moreover, when We fast, be not al

for they dishgure their faces, tina
they may appear unto man to fast
Verify say unto you, they have thei
reward.
But thou, when thou fastest. anoin
thine head. and wash thy face.
That thou appear not unto men t.
East, but unto thy Father, which is IL
secret; and thy Father, which seeti

That thou appear not unto treas

doth corrupt, and where thieves breal
through and steal.
But lay up for yourselves treasures
I'm heaven, where neither moth MOI
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
no not break through and steal.
For where your treasure is there
will your heart be also. Matt. 6:7-21

Our people are happy and prosperous,
They are able to pay their bills,

to do these things. Our merchants

Daytona went dry over twenty years
ago, as did also the county, and has
remained dry ever since, and will
probably continue to be dry, for at
every wet and dry election the county
votes are decidedly dry. Inasmuch as
the city and county have been dry for
this long period, and as the entire
progress of Daytona has been made
since she went dry, it would be i'm
possible to tell what she would have
done had she gone wet, but it is the
consensus of opinion that we have
had better town than if we had sa-
loons.-R. L. Smith, of the Board of
Trade of Daytona, Florida.-ad.
