Fords For The PACING FIeet.

AS a result of Henry Ford's visit to
the Pacific feet and the San Francisco
Exposition FIVE navy officers are now
driving Ford touring cars. While in
his peace propaganda Mr.. Ford has
said many harsh things concerning
Army and Navy officers, he was pro-
fuse in praise of the officers of the
Pacific feet at the conclusion of his
visit TO the coast.
When he took leave of the officers
Mr.. Ford declared that although he
still favored disarmament, he had
always found officers in the service to
be splendid Americans and upright i'm
all their dealings. AS an expression
of his appreciation of the officers of
the Pacific fleet he directed that Ford
touring cars be sent to Rear Admiral
William F. Fullam, commanding the
fleet, Commander Charles NJ. Tozer.
commanding the South Dakota; Com
mander ]. NJ. Reeves, commanding the
Oregon; Lieut.-Commander H. M. ST.
mons. commanding the Milwaukee at

A Long Felt Want Is At Last Sup
piled The Annapolis High And
Grammar Schools.

The Annapolis High School has just
had a new victrola installed in its AS
sembly Room. The instrument was
furnished by the Globe Furniture
Company, local representative of both
Columbia and the Victor Talking Ma
chine Company.
In purchasing graphophone, our
High School has followed the lead of
the best schools and musical conserv-
atories in the larger cities. The use
fulness of the graphophone or talking
machine has long been recognized in
educational circles, where it is en-
ployed extensively in teaching folk
dances and drills by playground di-
rectors and physical culture teachers
as well as imparting instruction in
music, singing and elocution.
Just as every home should possess
a graphophone. so its varied uses as
an instructor and entertainer has long
commend It to the leading educators
as an absolute essential for every
well-equipped school. And it should
prove a source of qualification TO the
parents of our pupils that,through the

rs,the Annapolis High School viii be
supplied with Victrola without any
cost to the taxpayers.

A Champion OF Many Good Things.
Annapolis. Nd, Nov. u. 1916.

NHdfhpl0H OF many UOOu lHiuses
Annapolis. Nd, Nov. IL, 1916.
Messrs. Editors:
Certainly the public is greatly IN
debted to the Evening Capital for be-
ing the champion of many good things
for the benefit of the people at large of
this community. Amongst its most
recent promotions of worthy matters
are:
First-Its brave and timely advoce
cy of the necessity of our citizens to
be active in their efforts to bring to
the attention of the proper authorities
the suitability of Annapolis for the
location of the Steel Armor Plant.
Second-Its eommendable zeal TO
have abated the vicious nuisance OF
unmuffled puff-boats.
Third-Its endeavor to create a
public sentiment against indecent
plays and moving pictures in this
city.
Now that the grand jury has called
the Courts attention to the need OF
fire escapes on the Grammar School
building. l hope that you will give
your valuable support to this move
ment. 1t does appear to be an open
crime to force the children to attend
school in a house that might at any
moment be their death trap.

THE NOVEMBER RECITAL
AT ST. ANNE'S CHURCH
An Hour Of Beautiful Organ Music
The First OF a Series During
Winter Months.

Anne's Church viii give a series OF
organ recitals upon Sunday nights.
fortnightly. during the coming win
ter. The first OF the services was
given last night. Mr.. Edward Ritch-
ings. f. r. C. O.. is the organist. His
ability is too well known TO require
comment
The selections at this recital were
all new to Annapolis. although works
by these composers have been often
PLAYED here before. The opening
number. 4Marche SoleneIIe." by f. de
la TombelIs. and "Dithyramb,' by
Basil Harwood. were especially re
marked upon fof their brilliancy and
execution. There were two numbers
by wolstenholme, the blind English
organist and composer.
Mr.. Ritchings, is evidently very fond
OF this mans compositions. always
rendering them with marked sym
pathy. His treatment of THE Ser

dramatic coloring and power. lie

of the boys of his choir, Robert Moss

his hearers much pleasure when ht

other oratorio was well done, also. bu
the singer was more at his ease will

cession of treble soloists at St. Anne'i
Church, and each has been differen
from the other.
Master Robert Moss has more indi
viduality than any. His work is al
much a part Of himself as his teach
er. We expect this from adults, in
deed demand it, but boys usually SIM
what they are told to. and as they ar
taught to give expression. They ar
not thought to be capable of taste
colorature or sympathy. These thing
are expressions of the mind of tn
choirmaster; who has opportunitie
with boys and. consequently. respon
sibility. he does not have with adults
Young Moss is an exception to all o
this, and has decided individuality

he must suffer the pangs of remorse
and regret alone in bis cell at night,
for there is no one to come to the
bars of his cell and speak encourag-
lngly to him. For news of friends
and kindred he must depend upon
the U. S. mails; should those at home
become ill or in want. he cannot 90
to their assistance and his punish
ment is thereby made doubly severe,
and, he must suffer in silence. That,
my friends, is only brief summary
of the meaning of the word SEN
tence.'
However, the law which provides
for the sentencing also provides for
the release by discharge, parole or
pardon, and sometimes the grim
reaper steps in and the earthly SEN
tence is terminated despite the law.
Few, indeed, are the men who are
sent to prison who have no hope for
parole or pardon. In every breast
there dwells the hope that clemency
will be shown and early freedom
granted. 1t is this hope that en-
courages the prisoner to labor dill
gently, to obey all rules and the
commands of his officers IN charge.
Then again the sentence of the
court is often reversed by a higher
court, and the defendant is ordered
to be set at liberty. Many are given
their liberty on writs of habeas
corpus, in fact there are many ways
for obtaining ones freedom.
In the court which l am now to
write. about, the court of the living
God, the sentence is final; there is
no appeal. no parole. no pardon, nor
even death to terminate the sentence
spoken by the almighty God. When
that fatal decree, Depart from Me
for l never knew ye" is uttered, the
doom of the unfortunate is sealed,
and no man is great enough nor rich
and powerful enough to set that sem

tence aside, for in the court Of the
living God all sinners are equal;
man to man they must stand stripped
of all earthly pomp and glory. The
sinner who would escape from this
awful fate must, ere death overtakes
him, be repentant and receive par
don for his sins, otherwise, all hope
is lost. for after death comes the
judgment and in what measure you
have measured it shall be measured
to you again and as you have sown
SO also shall you reap. That you
may prepare yourself for the coming
judgment in the court of the living
God, God has caused a Book to be
written setting forth the path for
you to follow. He even sent His
son into the world to suffer and die
that none need perish but that all
should have everlasting life Gods
Word is true and He never refuses
aid and pardon TO the sinner who
seeks Him in a contrite spirit, will
ing to take up the Cross of Christ
and follow where He leads. No man
has fallen so low that His hand can
not reach him and set him upon the
solid rock. No man is so good but
what God can make him whole lot
better.

cess through the conslstant manage
ment in his personal affairs.
Today, it is the man who plans
out each step of his career in ad-
vance, who succeeds; it is the man
who has a definite theory worked
out for every probable contingency
who is able, because prepared, to
take advantage of the opportuni-
ties which are constantly presenting
themselves to every person through
out his lifetime; it is the man who
has trained himself in the art of
giving attention to details who
proves competant to handle gener-
alities when necessity arises; in
short, it is the man who practices
business management in his petty
personal affairs who naturally gra-
vitates to the management of larger
affairs of more general concern.
How do you stand in such test
of preparedness? Have you worked
out your theory of personal con-
duct so that you know, now, what
your actions would be under any
given set of circumstances? Have
you sufficient grasp upon the threads
of your life So that mis-step on
your part is safeguarded against?
Do you take off mental balance
sheet Of your daily life by which to
check up those little leaks of un-
profitable actions snd thus prevent
running into debt with yourself?
Or do you take the good things of
life when they happen to come
your way, and deplore the misfor-
tunes you couldn't help?" Do you
practice business management of
your personal affairs?

Some years ago, l remember, there
was an old man who had been an
infdel nearly all his life. He was
taken very ill and was informed by
the doctor that he had only few
days more to live at the longest, and
that it might be only hours before
he died. / had known the old man
for some time and hearing of his i'll
ness l paid him visit. He was
very weak and unable to move his
limbs, although he still retained the
power of speech. During our con-
versation religion was mentioned.
The old man asked me to get the
Bible and read him few paragraphs,
and | did so. When l had finished
reading he said: MY boy. 1 have
lived hard life and gotten very
little out Of it. Years ago I believed
firmly IN God and His Word, but so
many reverses and discouragements
came to me that / became an out
and-out infidel. although l never
ceased to believe in a supreme being.
During the past few years l have
realized that l was growing old and
that my time to go would soon come;
| have been preparing myself for
that time. which is now only few
hours away and then I must 90 to
face my God and give an account of
my stewardship. Several times dur

Judge and received my sentence to
prison, with smile on my lips.
Now. though. am about to stand

receive sentence for the last time; l
am about to appear in the court of
