SEX ATTRACTION.
It Is the Controlling Force In About
Every Human Effort.

We cannot escape from the fact that
sex attraction is the great event in hui
man life. SIX is the controlling force
in nearly all of human efforts. War,
for instance. is only an exaggerated
form of the sex instinct. Neither lit
eraturc nor art would exist in any APP
probable degree without sex. Men
work, light, sing, paint, live and die
for the love of woman.
In only one field of human activity
is there 10 faint Of sex feeling, and
that is science. Science is cold and
diSpasSionatc. 1t has imagination. but
the imagination Of the explorer and
not the lover. Science has only one
aim and end-the discovery of truth.
Science is another world from the hot
earth of economic and military compe-
titiOn, which have for their ends the
attainment of love and marriage.
Through science mankind will grad
ually throw Off some of the sex slavery
and reach Il new and possibly happier
stage in its Observation-Disclosures
TimeS-DiSpatch.

To the many Palatkans who have

RETIRING PASTOR
OFFICIALLY PRAISED
Quarterly Conference Of
Methodist Church Passes
Resolutions.

At recent meeting of the boarC
of stewards of st. James Methodist
Episcopal church, South, this city
keld in connection with the fourth
quarterly conference, the board pass.
ed the following resolutions of appre,
citation for their retiring pastor, Rev
W. M. Poage, who will leave Palatka
on the 18th inst. for the annual con.
ference of his church in Tampa. in.
der the polity of the Methodist church
pastors are limited in their pasto-
rates to four years. DR.. Poage has
served his full four years in Palatka
ard therefore the relations of the past
must be dissolved. DR.. Poage is one
of the leading preachers of the Flor
ida conference, and during his soiourn
in the state has served nearly all of
the leading churches. His departure
from Palatka will be regretted by
more than his own church member
ship-it will be a community loss.
The following are the resolutions:
Whereas, This, the Fourth Quar-
terly Conference of the year practi-
cally completes the fourth year Of the
pastorate of Rev. w. NJ. Poage at st.
James Methodist church, Palatka,
Florida, and the rules of our church
necessitate his removal to other Fields
of labor and usefulness; therefore be
it
Resolved, That it is with deep and
sincere regret that we note the dis
solution of the ties that have so long
bound us as pastor and people; these
ties having grown with each passing
season. We have been a united and
contented body during his faithful
and efficient ministry, and our church
records show evidence of continued
growth and prosperity under his min
istrations.
Resolved, That we bear cheerful
testimony to his exalted character
as a Christian, his eminence as a
leader in all religious. moral and civic
movements; his wisdom and discre-
ton as a counsellor, and his ability as
sincere, forceful and eloqu m
preacher. The high order of his SER
mons, the purity of his life, and the
excellence of his work have won for
MIN the confidence, the affection, the
admiration of not only our denomi-
nation, but of the entire community.
Resolved, That in parting he car
ries with him the love and the best
wishes of this charge; and we pray
Gods richest blessings upon him, to
the end that wherever his fed Of
labor, the Lords spirit may abundant
ly prosper the work of his hands.
Resolved, further, That these reso-
lutions be spread on our records and
a copy be furnished the "lotird!

press for publication.

THE VANITY or RICHES.

The prrtense Of indifference to riches
is generally hypocrjtlcaI; but it is Ger
tam that riches are not essential to
happiness.
There is a point beyond which all
that a man can gam contributes little
to posltIy" enjoyment. No matter
how much and how rich food he can af-
ford. he can eat only u stomachtul at
a meal, and the richer it is, the worse
for him. Though he can buy a thou
sand coats, he can wear only one.
All hat a man accumuIates beyond
the means of living is useless to him
personally. All he can buy beyond
that is needless, and apt to be injurious
to him,
When Walter Scott was suddenly re-
duced from atluence to poverty and
compelled to exchange his lordIy man.
sion and lands for a furnished lodging,
did he complain that his life was
ruined" No, he said he was glad Of it.;
he told his Condoling friends that he
was then happier than for a consider
able time before his bankruptcy. His
real wants and comforts were as ef-
fectuaIIy cared for. he said, as ever
all that he lacked was the trappings.
The wearisomc, costly ceremonial char.
acter he had so long been obliged to
support was cast off, and he had be-
come a free and independent man. Be.
fore his bankruptcy he had lived, in a
great measure, for others; but row his
house, his income and his time were all
his own.
The richest mar in the world today
breakfasts or Cruel and wears plain
clothes. This is his real income as an
agent of mankind in promoting indus
trial enterprise into the billions.
Whether his service has been good or
bad, it has been ]Stupendous; but, aside
from the JOY of the game, his real pay
personally is Cruel and simple clothes
and six feet of earth at last.
