therefore, greatly pleased to have the
opportunity of studying them at first
hand while supplying the First Presby-
terian Church during the summer The
following facts specially impressed me:
"First.-Billy Sunday had made 1t easy
to talk about religion Months after the
campaign one could approach the uues-
ton of personal religion, via the Billy
Sunday route with almost any one, and
almost anywhere The dinner tables of
rich and poor alike, the stores and Of
fees, the hotels and restaurants, the
street cars and trains the mines them
selves, all seemed TO offer open doors
into the religious world. II was as easy
TO talk religion as to talk war. and even
the war itself could not force out the
greater interest
"Second.-Billy Sunday had electrified
the churches and their members,
Churches that almost If nor quite, had
closed their doors previous summers.
were not only OPEN but well attended.
The prayer meetings We're splendidly at
tended. The mems Bible classes We're
particularly large. At the First Church,
where previously there had been no sum
mer prayer meetings, probably the aver
age attendance was 100. while the mems
Bible class, which had been very small.
had grown TO a membership OF more than
200, and the summer attendance ran from
20 TO 90 The church congregations were
church was most enthusiastic
"Third.-Billy Sunday had changed the
lives OF multtudes of men. I saw men
of all sorts, from the superIntendents OF
mines 10 the mine lahOrers, rich ami 7oo-,
educated and ignorant, young and old.
who had been truly born again Some
OF them had been notorious sinners. and
now are Just rs notorious saints The
PatEgonian train hitters We're In the First
Church on two sunday evenings and told
stories OF changed lives that were simply
marvellous. But the work had touched
all classes.
'Fourth.-Buly Sunday had insured
the continuation of the revival hy teach
ing men the possibility and the 'ov OF
personal work. and by enrolling them in
Bible classes and workers bands The
revival has been carried on I'M q manner
perfectly amazing by grours Of trail
httters and others unit. the whole re-
gion around has been affected for GOOD
And the end is not yet You ousHr 10
hear these men when they come u PbUa-
delphia next month.
'Fifth.-The success of the Billy sun
day meetings WAS boz mo- swnH degree d.
pendent upon the work done before he
came, especially the effect uf the cot
tage prayer meetings held all over the
city. That is o word to the wise urbo
desire 10 have part in the PHILADELPHIA
work.
SIXTH am personally convinced that
Bllly sunday has been raised up by COD
Tor this work, and that only Gods power
working through him can account for the
results. This Is Gods work ana f. fe
marvellous In our eyes"

How often we hear people say:
I'm so sorryl II I had only knownl
/ can't forget my mistake" and
scores OF other expressions OF regret
because OF their failures. We see
them going about with hanging heads
frowning brows and sadness written
on their faces.
Are you one Of these7 We sincerely
hope you are not.
If mans mind is filled constantly
with thoughts OF what might have
been" there will be no room with him
for thoughts of what is to be"
Every man must build his future
on thoughts OF It. No one should
waste his time living with regrets,
for, as the poet has said:
Times the thing life's made Of"
And no matter how great may be
the regrets over our past we can live
worth while lives only by keeping
ourselves strong and ambitious by en-
ploying the strength that comes
through looking out for tomorrow.
Nothing has ever been gained by
any man through living in the sad
ness of his yesterdays.
We once heard n hoary-headed pro-
fessor-a philosopher-say:
young men. don't talk when you
HdNe HoIilHS 10 say. w OfuS are or
such great value that idle talk crowds
out thoughts that may do invaluable
good"
Just so with our thoughts. Let us
prevent the useless ones OF regret
from crowding out of our minds those
noble ambitions that make us OF ser
vice to our fellows and ourselves and,
therefore. men in fact as we'll as in
name.
Let us follow the path that leads
through the valley of hope. where the
sunshine Of happiness is sifted gently
through the broad branches on oak
trees OF thought. PHILLIPS.

struggle may be long drawn out
Peace is entirely out of the question
in the minds of the English people" de-
Clared Doctor Rees. IAN the discussions
OF the probable end Of the war through
peace agreements seem to have orig
mated In America. The people In Eng
land feel that there can he no end OF the
war until Germany is brought TO her
knees, England has not sent any OF her
volunteers to the front, and II Is not
thought that she intends doing so for
probably six months or longer Those
who have gone are the regulars The be-
lief IS general that the war will last for
a long time, and England Is taking the
serious view Of IT, Her volunteers, whC
responded at the first call, are beinr
trained for service, and the men beinl
enlisted when ] left were the flower o.

THE USE OF
CHRISTMAS CARDS

Never in the history Of the develop
ment of social customs have Christ
mas Cards heep so much used as they
are today.
The custom IL almost universal and
is extending each year; fact that Is
natural, when It is remembered that
this is the leaEt expensive and most
delicats means Of conveying our share
in the sum total Of Christmas happi-
ness.
While ready mada cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at many
places; these are not so much in
demand now as those which are spec
tally engraved. Cards for Christmas
Greeting should express ones indi-
wdual taste in as great a degree as
a cordial personal greeting. and this
can only be accomplished through the
medium of a card engraved in ac-
cordance with your avn taste in ar
rangement and artlsNs effect.
The most satisfactory results can be
o stained by consulting the J. P.

At various times the State Board of
Health has been annoyed by reports of
disease in epidemic proportions where
only one or two cases, or none at all
had occurred. Such rumors are diff
cult or Impossible to trace their
source, but whether they ernanate
from idle gossip or ignorance or from
malice, the result is the same The
community is injured, injured serI-
ously, for good health is the biggest
asset of any neighborhood, and good
rews never quite overtal1es the reports
Of evil that have ever so slight
start.
Probably many Floridians know that
the statute books contain this provis-
ion that guards the State against such
insidious attacks. Many 90 not know
It. Few prosecutions nave been made
under its authority, for loyal citizens
appreciate the harm that may come
in this way. It is difficult to conceive
such reports being circulated with
malicious intent, but whether by ma
ice or thoughtIesSneSs, the good name
Of any community may be irretrieva-
bly, attacked.
It is indeed the duty OF every citizen
to report the existence Of epidemic
disease, out he should not tell it to
the winds that scatter it to the cor
ners Of the earth. He should report
his suspicious to the local health al
thorities or to the State Board of
Health. careful examination and
diagnosis are made and the nature Of
the disease is at once determined and
the interests of the community pro-
teeted No time is lost, the danger of
error is rninimized and relief Is
brought in the shortest possible period
If you can't boost, don't knock.
Florida has the reputation among
the states that it has safeguarded it's
health and sanitary conditions to the
highest degree. It's climate and other
conditions have been charged with be-
ing unheaathful. and it is only with
recent years that the real truth is
finding circulation and credeuce
throughout the country and the world
Every good Floridian is, or should be,
so loyal that he will not SANDER or
rstard the progress Of his home
state.
