DAY MARKED
BY UNION CHURCH SERVICE

Principal among the Thanksgiving
day observances yesterday was the
union meeting of the congregations
of the Baptist. Methodist, Christian
and Presbyterian churches in the
morning at the Baptist church.
There was a large attendance to lis
ten to the sermon on the text BE
Ye Thankful as preached by Rev.
J. F. Snyder of the Presbyterian
church.
At the conclusion of the services,
the Mosaic League, having for its
purpose the creation of public senti-
ment against profanity, was organ
lied with Judge stephen A. Lowell as
sponsor. Membership was secured
through the circulation OF a preamble
and constitution for signatures, Its
sponsors hope to extend its influence
over the nation so that the organiza-
ton may become as effective as the
Y NJ c. A. and similar organiza-
tions.
Rev Snyder prefaced his sermon
with the statement that happiness is
dependent upon thankfulness OF
heart Gratitude, he said, is tom
ic for the soul and an aid TO diges-
ton. The man who has no gratitude
for the blessings he enjoys Is out OF
harmony with the world and out of
tune with the infinite, he said.
In enumerating the blessings for
which the people OF this city and ma
ton have to be thankful, Rev. Sny-
der spoke first of the peace which
is with us while all other great ma
tions are engulfed in the whirlpool
OF war. He dwelled upon the raw
ages of the great war and pointed out
the enormous cost, not only in prop
erty and human life but in the loss
to civilization II win take genera
tions for the world to recover. he
said.

marine commander. provided the evil
dence shows the sinking was unjusti-
fled. The answer said the present
evidence Is incomplete and inconclu-

The German reply and Bernstorff's
visit indicate that Germany intends
to admit her guilt later The circum-
stances are very similar to those sur
rounding the Sussex case.
Bernstorfrs visit was solely for the
purpose Of discussing the Marina. No
reference was made TO the settlement
OF the Lusltania matter or other
problem.
Germany contends that the British
engaged the Marina as a horse trans.
port Her admiralty charter was re-
moved before the torpedoing. Ger
many contends that the Marina's pre-
vious admiralty service partially ex-
cuses torpedoing. The state depart
ment affidavits of survivors show con-
clusively that the Marina was sunk
without warning.

EVANCELINE

Based on story of the same title
from Golfers, written by Stella
Wynne Heron and produced by
Lois Weber. The idea came original
" from a paragraph, in book by
Jane Adams, wherein it is related
that working girl, after months OF
resistance, was "sold out for a pair
of Shoes"
Eva Meyer works in five and ten
cent store for five dollars week.
At home her mother takes in wash
ing to help support two smaller
children and lazy, beer drinking,
novel reading, good for nothing hus-
band and father.
For months Eva has needed pair
of shoes. AS the weeks pass the ne
cessity for shoes increases, until,
finally heavy rains set in and rot
what little there is left Of her be-
draggled and worthless shoes until
they are literally falling from her
feet.
Eva bring her unopened pay en-
velope home to her mother every
Saturday night to be each time
promised that next week" she
would have the money for a pair of
shoes. She has set her heart upon a
pair that are displayed in shop
window she passes going to and
from her work
But each week there is new and
valid reason for postponement-
the rent must be paid, the merchant
will no longer trust them for food,
and the worthless father is still out
of work. And all this time she sees
the money she has earned go for
beer, dime novels and food to satisfy
her shiftless parents desires.
Finally, one Saturday night, she
demands of her father that he shall
provide for her with a pair of shoes.
Her only solace is the retort from
The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1916-12-30

the man who was her natural pro-
tector and supporter that he also
needed shoes for himself.
Then and there Eva resolves that
she shall no longer suffer from sore
feet, blistered and splinered from
the rough floor which she stands be-
hind the counter. One Of her fellow
slaves in the five and ten cent store
introduce her to cabaret singer,
weeks before; but she had steadfastly
and indifferently declined his invita-
ton to be entertained.
Eva repairs to her cherries room
in the dreary and stuffy flat; she
puts on clean shirt-waist, lowers
her skirt by pinning it around her
hops so that her rotten and ragged
shoes are hidden, gets carefare from
her mother and says she is going to
spend Sunday with girl friend
from the store.
And Monday night Eva returns
home with the new shoes upon her
feet. This is brief synopsis. There
has been no attempt than more than
outline the story of the Bluebird
