REvEILLEl

What is Florida going to do for the
war?
Vermont, one of the smallest states, from
a population standpoint, in the Union, hs.
already appropriated million dollars in
order that it may do more than its share"
for national defense.
Not that financial contribution is nee
essary or feasible for us, but there are
other ways in which we can make good our
proud boast of chivalry.
Governor Cats has put himself in ac-
cord with the national government and has
suggested the raising of another regiment
in Florida. Let it be done by ali means
let F1orida's military organization be up to
strength and up to efficiency. Let the re-
cruiting begin now
{ Pensacola especially must furnish at
least one company; it could send two, and
could send three. Our Red Cross is already
organized-one of the finest chapters in
the south, and that patriotism is at white
heat here, a storm of Loyalty pledges
proves.
Start the recruiting now--in Pensacola,

GYPSY SMITH MEETINGS

GYPSY SMITH MEETINGS
Editor Pensacola Journal:
The Gypsy Smith, Jr., revival meet
ing was no doubt in every way the
greatest religious campaign that
Pensacola has experienced in a num-
Der of years, if not the greatest meet
ing in the history of the town. Thou
sands of people from almost every
walk of life crowded into the big tab
ernacle every night for a month and
listened with intense interest to every
message delivered by the evangelist
from his platform. And had it been
left to popular vote, the great crowd
would have said go on another month
with the meeting.
There is no doubt better feeling
in our town among the ministers OF
the different denominations than was
ever known before as q result of the
meeting. And no one had to sur
render his own faith or creed to bring
this about. In fact, l have heard SO
many say that everyone seems more
friendly and pleasant than ever be-
fore. | wish to say to every pastor
and every member of every church,
in our town and county, am ready
to do all in my power to maintain
this feeling and interest that seems
to have swept our town for Christ.
Let's continue to talk about the
religious condition in our town and
county, and let US push the work for
ward in the coming days, instead Of
letting it go down. One of the best
ways to push the work is through the
press. l have been running my ser
vices in the Pensacola papers every
| week for the past five years and find
great results follow. Nothing will
take the place of the press, and as
| sure you they stand ready to give you
all the aid possible in this way. DON'T
| Just announce services at your respec-
| tive churches on Sunday morning and
night, but run a special news item
every week or so and let people know
| you mean business SQUIRE enough.
| | was glad to see the organization
| that was formed at the Y. M. c. A
Tuesday night for future work.
would have been glad to have beer
present myself and assisted in an!
way possible, but was hindered.
1 know Pensacola has never failet
| in anything she has ever undertaken
| in the past, and l know that despite
] the opposition and knocking, there j!
| great future for Pensacola in re
legious way if we stand together il
this great work. Let pastors and lay
men and press all make one grea
| surge together for greater Pensa
cola in the coming months.
