In these days of excitement and
hurry, when the very spirit of war
seems to be in the life of almost every
man you meet, it would appear that
prayer has well nigh been forgotten
and that the thought Of God has
passed from the minds of men.
Such is not the case, however.
There are many people yet who find
plenty of time for serious thought and
religious meditation. There are many
people who never appear to be in any
great hurry about looking into the.
affairs of other people, but find
enough employment to keep them
busy looking after their own bust
ness.
People of this class are the. hap
piest people in the world, if not the
most prosperous. They manage to
get the respect of all who come in
contact with them. They carry about
them the spirit Of prayer and devo-
ton to God which commands the re-
spect of all self respecting people.
The greatest men in the worlds
history have bean s,rsf of prayer 4nu
strong religious conviction. 1t has
never been considered shortcorning
in any person to pray to Almighty
God and ask His continual guidance. .
Prayer has been called by some
thoughtless people cross-bearing. / 1t
Is not cross-bearing at all. 1t is the
Christians native air. 1t is the de-
vout persons golden opportunity of
holding audience with the mighty
King of heaven and earth. The eagle
might as well call his wings a cross
even though they lift him above the
storm clouds and hide him in the
iglory of the sun, Prayer lifts nier
out of selfishness and sin and hides
them in the bosom Of the Eternal.
Let no man be ashamed to pray
Let our people learn to love anc
honor God and God will love ant
honor them.
In all that we do there should b
left US time enough for religiou
thought and earnest prayer to Co
!, daily for His guidance and mercy. {
i What the world most needs toda.
! is a spirit of humble devotion +
Almighty God and baptism of Low
! which will enable every man to liy
the golden rule and desire to do n
one hurt.
During this month, in which W
5 celebrate the birth of the worlds Re-
deemer, we should strive to attai
those principles of love and devotio
T which were promulgated and defent
e ed by Him.

While Enacting a Traffic
Law Pass a Proper One.

If the city commissioners intend
passing traffic law they should en-
act proper one while they are about
it and then see that it is enforced to
the letter, praise an officer for ar
resting violators and censure those
who do not. The latter course, how
eyer, win mot be necessary If the Off
GERS once know the law has been
PASSED for the purpose Of enforce
snent.
The ordinance that was drafted
some months ago is misfit conglom-
eration 1t sessions, few Of which are
applicable t. Pensacola, and win be
- bad, If not worse, than the present
law misgovsrning traffic. The idea
that any vehicle is to BE- permitted
70 travel the streets Of the city at the
rate Of twenty miles an hour is ridic-
uIous. Pensacola is no longer . vii
lage. People cross streets and they
are exercising only right when they
do 70. It is also necessary for chill
dren - sonaetimss cross the thorough
fares, and while they now almost take
their lives n their hands when they
do 90, It would be suicidal to make
such an attempt with the speed limit
lifted to twenty miles an hour.
The dszzliag hesdlights should also
come in for regulation. These blind
automobile drivers, thus endanger'
ing the lives Of pedestrians, for ons
driver is unable to re person on :
street when the glare of N approach
ing cars headlight is directed towards
him.
Another matter needing attention
and one which takes cognizance Of We
hicles other than automobiles. is tina
Of lights. No vehicle should be per
mitted on the streets at night withou
lights. A float, wagon or buggy with
out lights is dangerous, not only ,
the occupants Of thst particular We
hicle, but equally 30 to those in 9
automebile, and the wonder is ths
mora acsidsats Of this character .hav
not occurred. Every vehicle shout
be compelled to carry . light So di'
played that It can be seen by an
other appreaching vehicle.
If The city commissioners ere to e.
act traffic law let that law be
proper one and strictly enforced afts

One of the many evidences of the

senting the Old Spanish Trail Asso-

dorsed the movement but pledged sup

Mast Valuable Metal,

In estima ting the value of any metal
we are apt to consider only the intrin
sic money value of a given quantity.
and from this view gold is generally
regarded as the most valuable metal
But this is a mistaken notion. Value
consists not merely in pound for pound
money worth but ought to include full
consideration of serviceability and
usefulness. Taking these into account,
a scientific writer points out that iron
is the most valuable metal because of
the many different ways i'll which it
is of great service TO man. In this re-
spect it is Of the greatest value. and
the world is fortunate in the great
amount of it available.
