concerned. Well, the war might end

That is the state Of mind of the

peace. And both officers and men appear
not the least cast down over it.

In part Mr.. Smith said: 1.-THE people
OF Jericho were blind 10 the great
parsonage who was visiting their city
and the people of today are just as
blind to the appeals of Jesus Christ
as we're those people of olden days
In Jericho. II the people of Jericho
had not been so blind they would have
made different history and history
WOULD have read different. Stop for
a moment and think of the history
that you are making for your city
of Wilmington. God made YOU for
a purpose; open your heart C. the
Son of God Man was made in the
divine image of God, and you belong
TO God. Every one here is Christ
man. Christ woman, or Christ child.
Every one is here for a purpose. Are
you filling your purpose? If some
people would die tonight. there would
not be anything left behind them but
two lines in the newspapers. Now
listeni How about you? Did you
ever help the world to be better?
Mr.. Smith said Zaccheus was in
dead earnest about seeing Jesus. I'VE
must be just as earnest il we expect
TO see him." he said. He pictured
Zaccheus as boing very rich man.
man who earned his money by
bleeding the Jews for the support OF
the Roman Empire" Zaccheus col
/ lected this money by contract and
used every ruse and used extortion-
at rates in order TO make his re-
ceipts larger. On account of this he
was very unpopular and was ostra-
cized from the society of Jericho
One can readily see how hard it was
for man of this type TO accept
Christ. Money is not every thing
Money will no. purchase life. Money
will not purchase health Money will
not purchase happiness. but II a mar

Orlando Rprortar-Star: A great
deal of fuss is being mede in the
newspapers about the pardoning of a
certain convict. and it is reasonably
sure that some of the papers most
vociferous in condamning the pardon
ing board know nothing of the merits
of the case. 1t is likely, however,
that some are acquainted with the
facts. Editors some times jump in
and make pretentiously wise com
ment concerning matters of which
they know nothing except what they
have seen in some other paper which
is probably no better informed.
The governor is the object of this
attack. and while the shafts are sent
in his direction it is possible that he
opposed the action of the board, for
he is only one member. He is eX,
