"J0y' IS SUBJECT 0F
 EDMONDS' SERMON
Cradle Heirloom Is Feature of the Rally Day
 Exercises

Dr. Edmonds of the Independent Presbyterian church spoke to the usual large and interested audience at the Lyric last night. "Joy" being the topic of his discourse.
 Sadness and joy are the result of one's mental attitude" said Dr. Ed- monds. There is enough misery in the average life, if dwelt upon enough. to bring one to the verge of suicide on the other hand there is enough joy to counter balance it and mako each one of us rejoice. It all depends upon us whether joy or misery shall have the upper hand.
 Undue worry and anxiety should be taboo in the Christians life, rejoicing in the Lord in all the varying phases Of life is the Christians duty and priv ilege. If you are sad and mournful you have no right to poison the at mosphere or obscure the light of the sun for the rest of the world with your doloful, unhappy expression.
 You owe it to God and to the world and yourself to spread joy, not gloom"
 pr. Edmonds spoke on the subject of Receiving Jesus at the temple in the morning, using the story of Zac- cerus as his text, bringing out the fact of his being interested enough to make an earnest effort to see him convinced that he was in the presence or Messiah. he desires to make restitu- ton for the past wrongs, resolutions Tor future godly walk by faith.
 Rally day was an interesting event in the Sunday school, graduates from the senior departments receiving cred It's and diplomas. The cradle roll de- partment had an unique feature, one or the baby members sitting on the platform in a beautifully carved era dle that Is over 100 years old, being an heirloom of one of the teachers in the school. The school made a splen- did showing in all of its varied de- partments

In the city the principal damage appeared to be confined to roofs, porches, plate glass windows and fraii- CT frame structures and to telegraph and telephone wires.
 CITY ENTIRELY ISOLATED
 Pensacola has been cut off from wire communication with the outside world since about 1 o'clock Friday afternoon and no railroad trains have entered or left the city since the storm.
 Most of the bridges on the electric railway line between Pensacola and the United States navy yard near here, have been washed out. One building was unroofed at the naval station and some damage was done to stores at the station. Altogether damage to the naval station 1t was estimated would reach s100,00o The wireless plant, sion by the storm.
 PEOPLE WERE SURPRISED
 Indications Thursday night were that the hurricane sweeping in from the Gulf of Mexico would pass in- land some distance west of Pensacola and the hurricane warnings which had been displayed between New Orleans and Pensacola were ordered down that night. Residents of this city, therefore, were greatly surprised when the course of the hurrican seemed suddenly to veer and swept in the direction of this city. The previous warnings, however, had been needed, shipping generally had reached places of comparative safety and the residents were fairly well prepared
 The center of the storm apparently struck in this vicinity, judging from the violence recorded here.
 The storm began to be felt in force
