We note with pleasure that Mr..

that sterling paper, the Jackson

THE JOURNAL GETS
A ''' US WRONG

The esteemed Pensacola Journal
ia advised that the Telegram Is not
advocating the return OF the OLD
status between the railroads and the
newspapers in which there was an
exchange Of advertising for trans
portation. We noticed in an ex'
change that attempts were being
made to restore that status by two
or three members of Congress in CO.
operation with certain newspapers,
and as it was news of more than or
dinary interest we reproduced the
item prefaced by few pertinent re-
marks which we cmphatically affirm
were not intended to commit the
Telegram to the proposed change.
On the contrary, we purposely avoid
ed doing so, ana we assure the Jour
nal that we have no personal inter
est" whatever to blind" us in the
matter.
If the editor of the Journal will
note carefully what we said, he will
fail to discover any endorsement of
the proposed movement to restore
the former status, our purpose being
merely to summarize very briefly in
a few sentences the basis upon which
that movement rests. ''Old things
have passed away and all things are
made new" and with that good
scriptural warrant, true sometimes
in secular as in spiritual affairs, we
neither expect nor desire to return
to the lays of rebates and free pass
es, although as we said in the first
article, the latter didn't enslave the
honest editor nor restrain his just
criticism of the railroad exchanging
it for advertising.

SCORE ASKED FOR
PRAYER AT REVIVAL

Nearly a score of persons came
forward last night at the close OF
the service for prayer, many OF
whom openly confessed faith in
Christ. This may be said to have
been the first real movement of con-
sequence among the unconverted 1t

Mr.. Klein. AS he discussed the sub
iect. THE Message of the Flood to
This Generation While not cham
pioning. nor even discussing the
historicity of the flood incident, he
used it in rather a parabolic sense
illustrating the wickedness OF man
when he gets God out of his thoughts
and the fact that Goddess man
gravitates toward the low, the SEN
sual, the strictly animal plane OF
existence.
He drew an intensely dramatic
picture OF Noah, Gods man in all
ages, preaching and urging repent
ance, and inviting to the safety OF
the Ark and how often the preach
er's message is ignored, just as was
the original Noah ignored. Death
crouches along the path of every

Noah and his seemingly undue ex-
element and go on their evil way

and stiffeneth his neck, shall sudden

impressive. and as the truth Of the
preacher was clinched by the perth

all warmly received, especially the
latter, as Mrs. Steitz has been
inspiration to the Club and
has done much toward making 1t the
success it is today. Dr.. c. c. Will
son paid a short but beautiful tri-
butte, in the form of a toast to Abra-
ham Lincoln, and following this
Mrs. Steitz offered a toast to the be-
loved hero of the South, Robert E.

troduced and made a very interest
ing talk on Florida. Rev. Lowman
is the pastor of the Christian church
and is a gentleman who talks very
whether IN or out OF
the pulpit, and his remarks last
night were warmly received. He re-
lated some Of his experiences while
farming for a short time in this
State. and declared that although he
hailed from Illinois, he came down
to this State and made great sue
cess in the growing Of vegetables
without any previous experience, his
garden surprising that Of his neigh
bors, who were natives Of the State.
The occasion was success from
start to finish. One OF the most
pleasing features Of the program and
one that always makes an AFFAIR OF
this kind so enjoyable, is a pleasing
presiding officer, and in the person
of the clubs able president. Dr.. w.

were dispatched with grace and dig

in a most pleasing manner.
