THE Sunday
School LESSON
By Ben NewSome

Lesson December 3, Revelations !.
Perhaps no part Of the Bible has
been more Stunned by some and
more misconstrued by others than
the book Of Revelations. A large
number OF earnest Bible students
have regarded IL with fear. akin TO
awe, and acknowleded frankly their
inability TO comprehend its message.
Others, bold II not discreet have
made a hobby OF this book and have
built up from 1t various isms and
theories varying in luridness and
ireakishness only as fitted the lively
imagination of the eXpositor some
people have even reached the point
where most of their religion consists
In contemplation of this wonderful
vision OF John the evangelist. That
u is wonderful goes without saying.
that Il Is deep * sure. and that IL is
filled so full OF oriental imagery as
70 he almost hopclcssly obscure to the
prosaiC, matter of-fact mind OF the
present century has had ample dem
onstration. Yet II must not be said
that the study Of this book is un-
profitable II has It lessons for us as
Wei as any other part OF the sacred
book The benefit we get therefrom
depends largely on the spirit in which

This is a topic so alluring and so full

Savior the man who was shamefully

given universal dominion and un-
limited power. and that his faithful

teacher who lived way back two
thousand years ago. a man too good
for his day and age and whom the
people OF his time put to death for
his revolutionary ideas We are not
following a human standard. even OF
the greatest excellence. But we are
following one. who, though he was
God. thought so much OF our souls
that he endured death that We might
live, and this IS the king for whose
coming we look and yearn. 1t was
he who said: Fear not: I am the
first and the last; l am he that liveth
and was dead; and behold, l am alive
for evermore."

Mr.. WOOlley's Lecture.

John G.. Woolley, LII. D., the noted
prohibition orator and statesman, de-
livered an interesting address at the
Baptist church last Monday night,
though strange to say, the attendance,
while good, was not as large as was
confidently expected.
Hon. S. ]. Hilburn introduced the
speaker in a pleasing way.
Mr.. Woolley spoke for more than
an hour, and every moment of the
time was filled with interest. ~
speech was in the interest of the pro-
hibition amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and abound
ed in witticisms spoken in drol!,
humorous vein that provoked enthuSi-
astic applause and laughter. Mr..
Woolley spoke in low voice, which
he afterward explained he did pur-
posely because of the smallness of the
room. For this reason many in the
audience failed to catch every point
made. At times he rose to heights
of impressive eloquence seldom heard
in public speakers, and his peroratio1
was particularly eloquent and clothed
in the choicest diction. One of his
most impressive sentences was the
following, the manner of expression
lending much to the impressiveness of
the speakers words:
"For every reason that churches
are built, the liquor traffic ought to
die; for every reason that schools are
maintained, the liquor traffic ought to
die: for every reason that the boys
and girls ought to be given show
for clean life, the liquor traffic
ought to die; for every reason that
labor ought to be given a better
chance, the liquor traffic ought to die
for every reason that houses of pros
titution ought to be impossible, the
liquor traffic ought to die; for every
reason that the youth of the country
should be brought up to respect anC
obey the law, the liquor traffic ought
to die; for every reason that politics
should be purified, the liquor traffic
ought to die-and it is going to di'
if the Christian men will do theil
duty"

Benefit Recital.

A most excellent recital will be CIV
en- in the parlors of the Putnam House
Friday evening, March 31st, by Bad
rig Vartan Guevchenian, tenor, Dl-
rector of music in the John B. Stet-
son University. Mr.. Guevchenian is
to give this recital for the benefit of
his countrymen, the suffering Arme-
mans, and this generous hearted rep
resentative of that country has taken
upon himself to give of his talents
for his fellowmen. Mr.. Guevchenlan
will give recital that will be gen
uine treat to all music lovers, as his
voice has a marvellous sweetness and
power.
The professor has been heard by
a number of Palatkans and they are
all most enthusiastic in their praise
and appreciation. Let all those who
love good music and wish to help IN
a most deserving cause, come and
give generously toward this work.
A silver offering will be taken. II
is hoped the parlors will be filled with
Palatka music lovers.
Prof. Guevchenian was promlnen:

conservative music paper, The Mu;
sical Courier, gives a well merlteo

BOARD OF TRADE FEEDS
ITS FACE AND SMILES
While Doctors of Business
Diagnose City's Ailments.

Nearly 100 of Palatka's business
men and members of the board of
trade banqueted at Bob James Cafe
on Wednesday night at what has been
termned a Booster Roast" banquet,
or Get-together meeting.
1t was about $3.50 when the crowd
filed into the cafe and were assigned
seats at tables clean and spotless and
decorated with beautiful roses and
other cut flowers. Bob James is a
booster, himself, and his heart was
in the work of catering to the comfort
of his guests. Rev. P. @. Cason gave
the invocation.
A long center table was in the mid
die of the dinning room, at the head
of which sat the toast-master, Judge
Julian c. Calhoun. Back of this was
another long table at which sat the
gentlemen who had organized a bur-
lesque on the city council, and who,
early in the program occupied an hour
in attending to city business. R. L.
Earnest acted as president of the
council, with the other members rep
resented by Warner T. Hamm, Fred
Merrill, r. E. L. Mann, Morris Coch-
rane, H. P. Norwich, Mercer Davis,
Chas. Burt, W. P. Dineen and John @.
lTilghman. Messrs. Burt and Davis
represented the "gem'men from de
sixt wad," Davis impersonating "S'pot
de mo'shun" Adams, and Burt repre-
senting Elder Robinson. These i'm
peronations were clever. Secretary
Elliott acted as clerk of the board and
read several ludicrous ordinances.
This over, the toastmaster called
for short talks by a number of those
present, leading off with Col. Jas
r. Murphy, president Of the Florida
Farms & Homes, Inc, and Hon. Jas
R. Mellon of Pittsburg and Palatka
who made excellent talks tending tl
show the city's weaknesses and to
point the remedy, which was united
action-a getting together in harmo-
nious action for the welfare of the
city.
These gentlemen were followed by
Messrs. S. A. Parshley of Carthage
, Mo-, winter visitor, L. Cantrell, ou1
new county agricultural demonstrator
W. A. Russell, Henry S. Mckenzie
Senator w. S. Wells of Tallahassee
Hon. A J. Angle of Tampa, candidate
for State Comptroller, Mr.. Monson OF
New York and Mayor w. P. Merriam

Night and help the Palatka public
school to get a Victrola. We will
promise a good nights fun for only
rs cents. Each grade will furnish

MEXICAN SITUATION
BECOMING COMPLEX
Two Thousand Carranza
Troops Desert to Villa.

Gen. Funston on Wednesday re-
ceivcd from Ger. !'ershing the first
report from tie 1lont in sixty nours
1t came from Casas Grandes, and the
only reference made to the operations
of Villa was that Villista and Carran-
"a trops had been engaged Monday
near Namaquipa.
Reports that Gen. Luis Herrera,
commanding 1000 men at Chihuahua,
had aligned himself with Francisco
Villa against the United States, were
received that night with grave con-
Germ by Gen. Funston and his staff.
Officially and unofficially, the opin-
ion at the Funston headquarters was
that with Herrera joining forces with
Villa, the interna tional siuation might
easily be made so complex that by
comparison the pursuit of Villa would
be regarded as incidental.
In Washington it is thought the re-
bellion in Carranza's army would rem
der the position of the American ex-
peditionary force so perilous that ev-
ery available soldier would be rushed
to reinforce the advancing columns.
For the purpose not more than about
$4,000 men would be available with
out calling out the National Guard.
There are now on the border or in.
Mexico in the neighborhood of 25,-
900 soldiers, and in the whole of the
continental forces number only a lit
tie more than 5000.
All reports from the border were
sent to the White House last night and
were the subject of long conference
between President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker Afterward Mr.. Baker
declined to talk.

Wednesday was day of enormous
fira 1occac in the south

Wednesday was a day of enormous
fire losses in the south.
Flames swept through Augusta,
Ga, in the afternoon, destroying
property estimated at over $5,000,-
900. Twenty residences, ten business
blocks, and several warehouses were
destroyed and over 5000 people were
made homeless. st. Pauls Episcopal
church, one of the old landmarks of
the city was completely destroyed.
The church was erected 1876 years ago.
The fire department of Augusta
was unable to cope with the situation
and calls for help were sent in to the
departments in Columbia, Charleston,
Macon, Savannah and other cities.
A fire in Nashville, Tenn, also late
in the day, originated in small
dwelling on Sixth street, was famed
by gale and burned path three
blocks wide and mile long. About
600 houses were destroyed, including
the home of the Little Sisters of the
Poor, an institution for the aged, the
Tulip street Methodist church, the
Edgefield Baptist church and many
other public structures. The Cum
berland river separates the burned
section from the business part of
Nashville. The loss is estimated at
81 100000.
At Paris, Texas, in the night before
more than SS,O0O,000 in property loss
was sustained. Eight thousand peo-
ple were rendered homeless. Over l.;
500 residences were destroyed. Aid
is being rushed to the homeless peo-
nle of Paris from all sections.

Jack Becks Makes a "Kick."

To the Public:
1t has come to me through reliable
parties that certain people in this dis
trict are trying to injure me POLITICAL
ly and in business way by circu-
lating false and malicious reports.
They have been telling on the streets
that l had charge, or supervised the
work Of building the Putnam county
Court House. and are pointing to the
vretched work on that building and
it's deplorable condition as some of my
work. These men know, or ought to
know. that l had nothing whatever to
10 with the building of the court
house, and that | have never received
l renny from the construction of that
luilding, in any shape or form. 1t is
indeed strange that when a man
comes up for office that some one has
TO go and manufacture untruths con-
cerning him. Such men are too low
to notice, though l am constrained to
notice this malicious report because
of the many who are here now who
were not here when the court house
was built, and who, therefore, might
be influenced against me.
P. J. BECKS.
