 Beloved, believe not every spirit but try the spirits whether they are Of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
 ,. Hereby know ye the Spirit oi God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the tleSh is of God:
 3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God. and this Is that spirit of anti-christ, whereof ye nave heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
 1. Ye are Of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than ne that is in the world.
 ,. They are of the world: there fore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
 6. We are of God; he that know eth Gid heareti us he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know We the spirit of effort.
 '. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God and every one that loveth is, born of God, and knoWeth God
 8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
 9. Tn this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent h.s only begotten Son into the world. that we might live through him.

10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitIat1on for our sins.
 II. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
 12. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another. God dwelleth' in us, and his love is per- fected in us.

THINE BLUFF ROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
THE EFFECT OF RENTALS.

From the beginning of things, every religion has had it's revivalists, and every revivalist that ever lived has had his critics. Perhaps 1t would not be far from tae truth to say that revivalists are usually ad- pcrsely criticised in direct ratio to the amount of good they do. Just now we are engaged in picking to pieces the Reverend Billy Sunday who has converted som athing like 4A0Oo souls in Philadelphia, inci- dentally enriching himself in the goods of this world to the extent of about $5O,000. Some of us are in- clined to think that MT. Sunday, fne most successful of recent revlvaIists, and from financial standpoint probably the superior of Moody and Sam Jones, is making too much money in proportion to the good he is doing.
 "Perhaps it will be admitted, says the Florida Times-Union. that Billy is not great as soldier Or statesman CT lawyer or philosopher, but only Tn his power to save souls. But should ,;1e man gifted with the power to save souls make a business Of seiiihs his services for that purposeI Per haps St. Paul was an abler man, q better scholar and more eloquent speaker; why shold Sunday earn more than Paulo If Sunday gets his reward here for saving souls what will be his reward in heaven? Mean time, we know what Sunday dld to rh;1adeinhia and what Philadelphia paid: let us wait to sec how Sundays preaching made a better city, a kindlier people, and honest govern men,"
 'sBut how can the effect of re- l;gious revivals be estimated?" asks the Beaumont Enterprise. HOW IS u rossible to determine how much q city has improved in it's morals, Tn the kindliness of it's people and in the honesty of it's government?
 sIf 10000 people made pubic profession in Philadelphia of inten- tion to lead better and cleaner lives was not the revival worth while, even if the 10000 all backslid witmn a month"; At least for little tlme they bethought themselves or morality and right living, and there ;s no reasonable doubt that at least considerable percentage of the 40 900 persisted in better living.
 "It was worth while that a consid- ersble percentage Of the people or Philadelphia for time turned thelr attention to questions of morality and better living. If Billy Sunday made more out of his revivals thaa ipaul did, that does not prove that Billy goi more than he earned. lt IS ,irst possible that the greatest of the apostles was underpaid on tnls earth

Newspaper and Community

The connection between a news
paper and the city of its publica-
ton is more vital a relation than
that between the city and any
other of its industries. The news
paper mirrors not only the bust
ness and social life of city, but
the actual business conditions as
well. To the outside world il
stands for the city, which is more
than can be said for any other one
business. Persons who have nev-
err seen a city judge it by its
newspapers, not always conscious
ly, perhaps, but to the average
man of business, a bright paper,
with a reasonable share of adver-
Using patronage, means a live
tOwn.-Pensacola News.

Your Pride in This Town

Your pride in this town is a.
bout the best kind of pride you
can have. 1t is an unselfish pride.
1t is pride in your neighbors and
what they have done. For they
made this tOwn-not only paid for
the pavements and built the
Schoolhouses but planted the trees
and showed their faith in. this
place by making it their home.
But pride in your home town re-
quircs something from a man be-
sides pride. He ought to help it
to grow and to improve. He ought
to do his share by keeping his
house in repair, by aiding ipmove-
ments for the towns good and by
voting good men into office who
will best look after its interests.
Then, and not until then, will a
citizen have real right to speak
of his town with pride. 1t will be
a town in the making of which he
had a part. Not only will he be
proud of the town but the town
will also be proud of him.

A 3urdened People

According to a count made in
| the library of congress recently
our federal and state legislatures
passed 62,014 statutes during the
five years from 1909 to 1913 inclu-
sive. Even greater than this
multiplicity of laws was the vast
mass of decisions of court of last
resort, federal and state, which
during the same five years reach
ed the enormous total of $3.50
and now fill $50 volumes.
And yet ignorance of the law
in a thousand volumes-does not
excuse. In our day of statute
making by the rapid-fre process,
Thomas jefferson would have
found greater reason than ever
for declaring that the country is
!governed best that is governed
least, and for opposing a multi
.plicity of laws. Not the least
discouraging feature of it ali is
that our statesmen of the "uItra-
progressive" variety have count
less new laws still up their sleeves,
not a few of them revolutionary
invasions of the citizens rights.
If our laws are legion now,
what is to be expected when, in
times to come, women are sent to
legislative bodies by their ballot
ing sisters and enthusiastically
apply themselves to the fascinat-
ing business of piling up the sta
tutes. Their efforts to make man
over and thrust into him thols-
and virtues by means of the po-
liceman's club, seem to be omin-
ously foreshadowed by Mrs. PauII-
bursts confession that women
want the ballot in order to
make men chaste." 1t may be
confidently expected that women,
more than men, will become adj
dicted to the habit of making new
laws aimed at every evil or incon-
venience in sight, thus adding
enormously to the great mass Of
statutes which-without previous
discussion and criticism of the
proper kind-have been enacted |
in haste, only to be repealed or
forgotten as dead letters.

Toast to Laughter

Here's to laughter, the sunshine
of the soul, the happiness of the
heart, the leaven of youth, the
privilege of purity, the echo OF
innocence, the treasure of the
humble, the wealth of the poor,
the bead Of the cup of pleasure ;
it dispels detection, banishes blues
and mangles. melancholy; for its
the foe Of woe, the destroyer Of
depression, the enemy Of grief; it
is what kings envy peasants, plu-
tocrats envy the poor, the guilty
envy the innocent; it's the sheen
on the silver of smiles, the ripple
on the waters delight; the CLINT
of the gold of gladness; without
it humor would be dumb, wit
would wither, dimples would dis
appear and smiles would shrivel,
for it's a glow of a clean cOnsci-
ence, the voice of pure soul, the
birth cry of mirth, the swan-song
of sadness.
