MISSION At ST.
M|CRAEL'S open
REV. ]. CLINTON ALLARD, c. s..
P- DELIVERS TWO SERMONS
TO LARGE CONGREGATIONS.

The mission at st. Michael's church
was formally opened at the late mass
yesterday by the Rev. ]. Clinton Al
lard, G. S. p, In the opening SER
mon Father Allard outlined the pur-
pose of the mission, told of the graces
to be gained and the spirit in which
1t should be made. The church was
filled to It's capacity at both the morn
ing and evening services.
A violin solo by O'Brien Motta was
one Of the pleasing features of the
evening.
In the evening the missionary
preached again, on the subject of the
salvation Of the Soul" taking for
his text I. Cor. 6:20. For ye are
bought with q price, therefore, glor-
ify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God" The speaker
dwelt upon the necessity Of avoiding
sin-the death of the soul. He re-
counted the sacrifices, the sufferings
and deaths Of the Apostles, Martyrs
and Saints in their efforts to save the
souls of men.
1.-THE lives Of these Christian heroes
are & rebuke for us. These men went
to the ends of the earth in search
of soul to save. They counted their
Iabors, their sufferings, their lonely
deaths more than repaid If they could
gain one soul to the Kingdom Of Hea-
ven. We have a soul to save; not
somebody else's soul of in some dis
tant place-but our own soul, here
within US, our souls are in our own
hands-what are we doing to save
them?
1--WE are not asked to go 10 distant
lands, to suffer torture and death t.
save them, but merely to keep the
commandments. Yet men viii not d.
even this. To those who refuse Il
serve God, l appeal to them to study
the Passion of Christ, see Him suffer
| ing and dying on the cross that mar
might be saved. Learn from Him tht
value of the soul. This is the pear

that might take it from thee. Liv'

JIM TO GEORGE ON PLIGHT OF BAYvIEw
Dear George

Dear George:
Ny vacation is spoiled. Just yes
terday afternoon / was talking to you
about how much was going to enjoy
Bayview this summer, my last thought
as went to sleep in the Pullman and
my first thought on waking up this
morning was how delightful that first
dip would be. AS soon as the hellos
and how-de-do's were said / inquired
of Will, "And how is Bayview ?"
Imagine how felt when he told me
probably would not have any Bay
view this year. 1t seems that the
city commissioners have taken Bay
view away from the Fairgrounds
Committee and turned it over to some
individual to run for private profit.
Will was so mad about it that he
suffered and stammered when he
tried to express himself and NUT
tered something about selling the chill
dren's playground for handful of
votes. Alice cries when she talks
about it, and says she is going to
sell the canoe because she will not be
able to use it any more. It took me
some time to get the full story, but
/ finally dug it out. Several years ago
the city government set aside Bay
view Park for playground for the
children and turned the administra-
ton of it over to the Playground Com
nnittee. This committee collected from
private individuals the funds to build
the bath houses, wharf, etc, and op-
Grated these facilities very success
fully until last summer, when the
committee found that the water was
contaminated from sewer some dis
lance away. They Immediately closed
the park until conditions could be
remedied. The city government did
not believe that bathing in water pol
luted with sewerage would harm any
one, refused to close the sewer, and
ordered the committee to open the
park or turn it back to the city SC
the officials could open it. The com
mittee very properly refused to dc
either, and the city commissioners
therefore, exercised their authority
and assumed control. After an un-
successful attempt, late last season
to operate the park themselves, they
closed it up. Now that the bathing
season is approaching they are clos
ing the sewer and have leased the
park to an individual to be run fol
private profit.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-04-10

It is all right to run some things
for profit, but children's play
ground is not one of those things.
When a business is being conducted
for profit and particularly an amuse-
ment resort, the proprietor thereof
is much more apt to have his eye on
those same profits than on the moral
and physical welfare of the children
confded to his care. It would be en-
tirely different if it was a resort for
grown people-but it is children's
park. Yes, children's park, a place
where the children-Iittle golden
haired, bright eyed girls and sturdy,
sunburned boys can laugh and romp
and splash and play; where the son
of fisherman and the son of the bank
er run races together and splash wa
ter in each others eyes in perfect de-
mocracy and friendship. Can't you
see the tragedy of it? We are accus-
toned to giving up the things we
love, but these children will not be
able to understand why mother does
not want them to go out to Bayview
alone as she was perfectly willing for
them to do last year. They will not
understand that mother knew they
were safe last year. Their young eyes
will not see the change in conditions
that are visible to the eyes of love
and watchful care. You and have
walked miles in the hot summer sun
to go in swimming in a creek that
had no more water in it than you
could put in a barrel. What would
we have given for place like Bay
view then? Yet these children, to
whom white sand beaches and clean
bathing waters are birthright, are
being deprived of what is theirs by
| inheritance.
1t may be that in politics, as in love
and war, all things are fair, but to
my mind the worst possible political
move would be to rob the city chill
dren of their playground. If I had
political aspirations I would begin by
building Fairgrounds, not destroying
them.
Please excuse this long and possibly
tiresone letter, but this is a subject
I feel very strongly on, and when ]
get started I could not stop until !
had said my say.
Yours,
