Ballet Russe at the Jefferson

Max Beerbohm, the English essayist, once suggested in his usual amusing way the accepted custom-it would be much better for the interests of high art for someone to go around and veil a few of them.

Tomorrow Is the Soft Lounge
Upon Which MuItitudeS Lie
Down to Their Eternal
Sleep" He Says

The consequences of delay in accepts
ing Jesus Christ were viVidly depicted
by Billy Sunday in his last sermon of
the Atlanta campaign, delivered Sunday
night, at the Jackson street tabernacle.
Taking as his text the eighth chapter
of Exodus and the tenth verse: And
He Said Tomorrow" the evangelist inn
pressed upon his hearers the supreme
necessity of acting now on the PROPOSE
ton to receive Christianity and taking
no chances on the future.
The children of Israel had been in
bondage for more than four centuries,
Billy told his congregation and at the
time to which the text refers, Pharoah,
ruler of the Egyptians, was being pun
ished by the Lord to compel him to re-
lease the Jews from slavery.
After many different scourges had
visited upon the Egyptians, Moses went
before him and asking when he should
call upon the Lord to send relief, the
Egyptian monarch answered "Tomor-
row."
1T never argued much for his COM
mon sense" said Billy. but still I
don't think you have right to con-
denim him.
Many say: 81 wouldn't have done
what he did," and yet you are doing
the same thing in a different way. God
has been calling you to leave your bond
age. Instead of obeying, tonight still
finds you enslaved by the powers of the
devil
where is the man or the woman who
can honestly say that tomorrow has
never interfered with him-the thing
that has no real existence; the thing
that will never dawn
"Oh, you should have begun some
new work; you say I will tomorrow
YOU should give up some foolish GUS
tom; you say: 4 will tomorrow
You should yield to Jesus Christ; you
say; will tomorrow
There is no need for me to consume
my strength and your time and spin out
words in analysis of the thief of time.
Take this for your motto: I will not
think of tomorrow. My possessions are
today. I will not lull myself to sleep
promising myself about time that will
never come
TOMORROW" a Soft Lounge
Tomorrow is the soft lounge upon
which multitudes lie down to their eter-
nal sleep. Tomorrow is the DEVILS opiate.
Oh. it takes an effort of the brain and
OF the will to say: Today
For the man or woman who deliber-
ately postpones from day to day the
renouncing of sin and the acceptance of
Jesus Christ there can be no excuse or
palliation of their failure to win eternal
life, declared the evangelist. There are
so many opportunities offered to sinners
to secure their redemption that those
who fail to obtain salvation are only
themselves to blame.
representation, irresolution, idle
ness. languidness. weakness and lack of
character-these are the milestones
along the highway which leads to the
precipice of failure, and there is where
you stand" said Billy.
You ought to choose Jesus Christ
now for a few brief reasons: first, be-
cause by accepting Jesus Christ now
you would be relieved of the burden of
the sin i'm this life as we'll as the dread
Of the future consequences, and every
man and woman hearing that burden
of guilt. by yielding to Jesus Christ
would be relieved of his or her sim

BIG INHERITANCE TAX
FROM MILLER ESTATE

That portion OF the estate OF the
late Henry Miller. millionaire cattle
baron and land holder of California
and Nevada, that is located in this
state Is subject to the state inherit

$4,000 according to decision fled

Miller died on October Il, 1916. On
April Z. 1913, seven days before the
Nevada inheritance take statute be-

bcncficiaries under his will, which
bore the same date as the trust deed

trust deed, having been executed be.

The state, represented by Attorney

ney Lunsford, took the position that
the trust deed. being dependent on
the death of Miller, could not affect
the collection of Inheritance taxes till
after his death.
Judge Stoddard's decision is in line
with the states contention and says:
1t is manifest that Henry Miller
did not completely divost himself Of
or relinquish control over the inter

in the instruments. Up to the time
of his death he still retained and pos
