TWO SERVICES At
1ST PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH YESTERDAY.
LARGE NUMBER ON HAND AT
EACH TIME, AND PREACHING
OF DIR. THACKER AND SING
ING OF MR.. JELKS PLEASING.

Two services were held at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday, the
first at 1920 o'clock in the morning,
when q fairly good crowd gathered
to listen to the strong, earnest speak
er, and at night at 7:45 o'clock, when
the church was well-filled. At both
services very earnest attention was
given to the discourses, which are al
ready recognized as being quite out
of the ordinary evangelistic sermons
heard here.
At the services last night, Mr.. Jelks
was heard in pleasing vocal selec-
tions, and the large and specially ar
ranged choir did good work, to the
delight of the large congregation. The
music, 1t is again announced, will be
one of the pleasing and attractive
features of the special services.
Church will be held at 1920 o'clock
this morning, and again at 7:45
o'clock tonight Mr.. Jelks is very
anxious to have all who can sing, and
who will exercise that talent, not to
hesitate, but to join the large choir.
Seats will be provided for all, and it
is possible that before the end of
week, one hundred voices will be
heard in the various selections.
One feature which is desired by DR..
Thacker is, the attendance of the
younger people. He argues that If
the children attend, some of the
older people will necessarily have to
come with them, and if the youthful
ones remain at home, Just as neces-
sarily will the older persons have to
remain at home with them, thus keep
ing both the young and the old away
from the uplifting series Of services.

MAYOR OPENS Meeting.

Shortly after o'clock, the council
chamber having been quite filled up,
Mayor Greenhut called the meeting to
order, and announced the purpose of
the gathering. Mayor Greenhut ex-
pressed the hope that Pensacola
would hold to her former good record
of the past for charitableness, and
then he detailed the sufferings of the

people of the war-cursed countries,
through no fault of their own.
Following the mayors remarks, he
called upon Rev. John FL. Brown to
act as chairman of the meeting. This
choice was very pleasing to all, for
Mr.. Brown, having resided in Pensa-
cola for the past six years, was well
and favorably-known to practically
all present In accepting the chair
manship he stated that he did so APP
preciating the importance of the
place, and hoped that the best of re-
suits, for which the meeting had been
called, would be forthcoming. Mr..
Brown then announced that there had
been framed no program, and that
it was possibly left to the chair to
evolve one. He stated that Judge
Blount was to have delivered an ad-
dress, but was out of the city, and
he called upon Scott NJ. Loftin, who
responded gracefully.
Mr.. Loftin, at the outset, asked per-
mission to read the presidents proc
lanlation, 1.-THE real reason for you all
being present here tonight" as he
intimated, and, upon it's conclusion,
detailsd in well-spoken impromptu
address some of the horrors which
the people of Poland are undergoing,
through no fault or by no wish of
their own, and he also showed the alb
solute need of aid from free Ameri-
cans, as part of the great country
which Is now enjoying peace. He
drew word picture of the sufferings,
not only Of the strong and healthy
men, but of the old men and women,
of the little ones, in that country
where cold and hunger and privation
stalked about in as gaunt a form as
could be possible for the most savage
to depict. Concluding his short
speech, he called upon all present to
do as their consciences dictated, and
to offer literally from their own pos
sessions, for all would help in the
end.
At this point it was noted that
there had been no secretary selected,
so the name of w. P. Cunningham
was placed in nomination. 1t received
support voiced from all
parts of the hall, and in taking the
desk, the secretary took occasion to
say few words of enlightenment |
and appreciation to those present. !
REV. Mr.. SLAUGHTER SPEAKS. !
Rev. Mr.. Slaughter, the recently |
assigned pastor of the First Metho-
dist church, was called upon as one
who had just arrived among us, and
who had scarcely gotten but the dust
of Pensacola on his shoes" Mr.. +
Slaughter made good address,
happy over the opportunity of aiding
and encouraging the movement In any
and in all ways he was able, and ex-
pressed the hope that the offerings to .
be sent from Pensacola would be Just
as generous as possible.
Rev. Mr.. Skottowe of st. Rather /
ines Episcopal church, was also in
PRODUCED as a recent arrival in Pensa-
cola. He also expressed the hope
that the movement, which had his
own unqualified support, would be un-
ending and unlimited in its scope, and
he told of some of the horrors of the
war, saying that he himself had lost
relatives at the front. He came from
England.
Rev. Mr.. Rice, of the Gadsden
Street Methodist church, upon being
said that there had been
enough of talk and that it was now
time to get down to business. He said
that the happiest men are those who

The effect OF the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Ad-

being given at the hearings held by

cent. for five years on $1,000, max
ing his average net interest rate
from II to i3 per cent.
This now Is stopped by the coming
competition OF the new rural credits
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska TO make fiye-year loans at
lower rates, to forestall the operation
of the new law.
The farmers OF the West. who
have suffered exorbitant interest
rates for years, are not worrying
about the banks Their testimony be-
fore the farm loan board showed that
they are enthusiastic over the new

The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO.
operative or joint stock associations
and borrow from the regional federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security OF
their land. Ten farmers can form
one of these associations. They can
borrow up to so per cent of the value
OF their land, for period running

This is not the statement of a partisan polti-

speaker Nor man who wants To get into office.
r. ID. Underwood, president vi the Erie, says;
President Wilson has achieved the seemingly
impossible and is worthy of future trial | am
not carried away by the statements and promises
that any political party the outs makes.
Mr. Underwood. like Mr.. KeaTney. is the head
OF great railroad system. They know that the
country is safe under President Wilson, and think
he ought to be reelected. Possibly they are
afraid of the Hughes campaign slogan 1--WE want
deeds not words" Anyway, as a matter of bust
ness they think IL better TO accept Wilson than
try an experiment
Mr. Underwood in his interview indorsed what
Judge Loyett, president of the Union Pacific,
Gently said What Judge LOyett said this:
great achievements to his credit than most presi-

currency question and settled il effectually and
wisely that his most reckless critics silent
the subject. His management OF our relations to
the European war situation is the greatest end
most brilliant page in our diplomatic history"
DO you ask why these railroad presidents are
coming out for President Wilson?
II is because they realize that his constructive
enactments are making for lasting prosperity IN
this country. Each OF them speaks of these ach-
ieYements, They realize that President Wilson is
builder and not a destroyer
