WHY PRAYERS ARE NOT AN
SEVERED

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Star asks that paper If it is not i'm
possible to harmonic national day
of prayer for peace with addition Of
dreadnaughts to the navy, and the
Star answers it by saying: Suppose
family lived a in wild country
without police protection where there
were frequent hold-ups. Wouldn't
it be consistent for the family to
pray for a peaceful night and at the
same time keep a revolver handy?
The answer is ingenious but not
Ingenious If we understand any
thing about what the day of prayer
for peace was intended to do, it was
to bring about general state of
things where it would not be neces-
sary to keep a revolver handy. This
country, not being in danger of hold
ups by foreign countries, is in a
position to give the example of dis
armament and showing that it has
some confidence in the prayers it
sends to the throne of grace.
1t would be interesting to see, how
ever, how the Star would reconcile a
day of prayer for peace with the
fact, daily developing, that the people
of this country, many of them, are
manufacturing in very large quaint
ties the ammunition that is to assist
in making more terrible the war now
raging in Europe. The prayer for a
peaceful night put up by the family,
imagined by the Star, could not be
expected to avail in a very marked
degree, If that same family were
spending a large part of the day and
night holding bullets to be sold for
profit 20 the hold up men against
whose maraudings it was praying.
But that is just about what this
country is doing. To use an Irish
bull, it Z praying with one hand and
dealircy death with the other.
The country can prohibit the sale of
ammunition, guns and equipment to
beligerents, if it desires to do so. The
same president who called for a day
of prayer that the nations of Europe
might find peace, can lay an embargo
on the shipment of all arms to nations
warning with each other. He did it
twice within eighteen months in the
case of Mexico, and the nation can
do it again.
AS long as we supply the people of
Europe with the means of fighting we
hardly need to express surprise that
the Almighty delays a favorable an
swer to our prayers, or ignores them
ltogether.-Miami Herald.

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER

Rev. J. P. Hilburn, former citizen
of Ocala, and still a property owner
amongst us, in the last issue of the
Methodist Advocate, gives the follow
ing extract of a beautiful prayer
which was recently made by the Rev.
A. L. Woodward, whose soul is now
nearing the great divide"
The prayer can easily take its place
by the most beautiful of any of Bouck
Whites.
The following is the extract given
by Mr.. Hilburn:
"Oh! Lord, we thank thee for the
dear old hymns we have sung this
morning. We thank thee for the gift
of memory, which like dove, plumes
her wings and goes soaring back over
the chasm of years and brings back
from the long buried past, familiar
voices and sweet melodies that speak
of father and mother, or brother and
sister, the musical prattle of children
and the airs to which we listened in
the happy long ago. Those voices
have long since ceased to echo on
the shores of time: the hands that
held the quaint old book have long
ago mouldered into dust, but we see
again the familiar faces and we hear
once more the swelling of the an
them, and we know that now those
hands are sweeping the silvery chords
of the golden harps, and those voices
chanting the strains of the new song
of Moses and the Lamb, behind the
pearly gates of the City of our God.
Zone has said that memory is the
only friend that grief can call it's
own but we thank thee, o! Father.
that thou didst leave this comforter
with us, to cheer us in distress. to
comfort us in sorrow, and that thou
didst place in her hand the magic
wand with which she could summon
back the past, and bring the light of
other days around u.s.
Thou didst know that thy children
would long to see again the vanished
faces, to hear the long hushed melo-
dies, and so thou didst give us mem
cry to abide with us, and endue her
with power to summon them back at
will.
oh. that men would praise the
Lord for his goodness and for his won
derful works to the children of men"
Amen.
May the above be enjoyed by 9TH
ers as it was by me-" Mr.. Hilburn
adds.

ANNUAL MUSICALE AND REcEP-
TON AT WoMAN'S CLUB

At their pretty new club house the
Woman's Club on Saturday held their
first meeting of the new club year.
There was no business transacted
at this meeting, it being the annual
club musicale and reception in honor
of the new members. This reception
and musicale was postponed from last
May on account of the death of Mrs.
d. w. Davis.
There was quite a large attendance
at this affair, and it was in every way
delightful.
The club rooms were decorated as
they were for Thursdays reception,
and receiving were the following new
club members: Mesdames j. G.. Cald-
well, H. F. Watt, c. W. Hunter, J. r.
Dewey, j. W. Davis, Frederick Hook
er, r. L. Lang, d. M. Boney, lobe
Brown, Frank Drake, w. T. Whitley,
Roy B. Bowers, M. A. TenEyck, J. T.
Killebrew, L. H. Won Engelken, P. j.

]. Bitch, Emanuel Martin, N. Garrett,
Walter Marsh, Rev. Todd, W. K. Lane
and r. G. Camp, Misses Carrie Dean,
Kathleen Jackson and Elizabeth Da-
Wis.
There were quite a number of 9TH
er new club members who were un-
able to be present Saturday. Alto
gether the club has taken in over for
ty since their last reception for new
members.
During the afternoon a very enjoy
able musical program was rendered,
Miss Marguerite Porter of the music
committee being in charge.
The first number on the program
was beautiful piano solo by Miss
Ethel Haycraft, graduate Of Brenau
College, and one of our finest must
clans. Mrs. r. c. Camp, piano grad
uate from Randolph-Macon College,
played in an exquisite manner "A
Tear and Smile" and Miss Gertie
Peyser's rendition of Mendelssohn's
Concerto was perfect. All of these
numbers were very delightful.
Miss Porter sang very sweetly two
numbers, "The Sweetest Flower That
Blows" and I'm the Time of Roses"
and the other vocal number, Happy
Days." by Miss Rosebud Robinson,
with violin obligato by Miss Conner,
was very enjoyable.
Miss Connor's violin solo, Mazurka
Caprice. by Bohm. was splendidly rem
dered and gave much pleasure.
Miss Hill, reader of much ability,
who is this term the teacher of ex-
preston at the Ocala High School,
gave a splendid reading, choosing for
her number two scenes from lingo
mar"
After the musical program sand
witches and tea were served, the Off
GERS of the club being the hostesses.
Assisting them in serving were Mrs.
H. C. Dozier, Mrs. Perdue, Miss Louise
Booze, Mrs. Coin and a number Of 9TH
ers.

GENERAL J. j. DICKSON

The last issue of "Dixie" prints
a picture of General J. ]. Dickson on
its front page and styles him the
Marion of Florida"
The title is well deserved. Gen
eral Dickson enlisted in the war from
Marion county and closely followed
in the footsteps of the intrepid patriot
of the revolutionary war of that name.
Dixie" well says that no man in
the Confederacy proved more daring
none achieved more victories. Gen.
eral Decisions career was really re
markable. He seemed to have been
born for war and if his field of oper-
rations could have been enlarged his
achievements must have been cores
pondingly greater. He was a bull
wark of strength to this whole section
of Florida and with but bare hand
full of men kept it from being Overrun
by the enemy. He was it's Gibralter
of defense. In his engagements as
man to man we do not suppose that
, there is any such record in the an
nails of war. Our mentor, Comrade
w. c. Jeffords, whom we suppose is
a closer student of the war than any
other living man, makes this state.
ment, and we find it safe to bank on
any statement that he may make.
Dixie" concludes it's tribute to
this deserving hero as follows:
In several engagements Dickson
and his men put the Federals to flight
and often many were taken prisoners
without loss of life to the daring
Floridian and his men.
1.-THE Southern cause never had a
Drawer or more loyal defender than
General ]. J. Dickson. He surmount
ed obstacles that would have given
many strong men Encouragement. He
was ever ready to give praise to his
men, and, on one occasion, when he
asked that twenty-five of his company
volunteer to capture 200 federals
every one stood up and signified their
! anxiety to accompany him. Dickson
was the most feared man by the enc.
my in the Florida operations. While
| he had but a small band of men, the
enemy believed he had a great force
because of his most remarkable vic.
tories. Dickson was soldier, and
he was humane. He was quick OF
action and thought and showed a
physical endurance that was most re.
markable.
Florida honors the memory of this
distinguished soldier The above is a
good likeness of him, and hundreds
who know of his brilliant services
will retain this page of Dixie.
mo true story of the Confederate
war can be written without great hon
or and praise being given to The Ma
rion of Florida"
Decisions name will live in song
and story.
