A SUNSET CEREMONY

Editor Star: We read with pleas
ure your editorial in the Star of
Thursday, commencing the resolution
of Alderman Winer, that the fire bell
be rung every evening at o'clock
and the flag be raised on the staff.
May we add another thought, not
altogether original, for Miss Doggett
of Jacksonville, suggested some weeks
ago that at the stroke of six call traf-
fic stop for one minute and all bare
their heads. To this beautiful idea
we would add that this moment of
quiet be also one of silent prayer fof
divine protection, guidance and vic.
tory for our men "over there"
The great English poet voiced in
verse what all Christian peoples be-
lieve:
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore
let thy voice
Rise like fountain for me night and
day.
For what are men better than sheep
or goats
That nourish blind life within the
Dram,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands
of prayer
Both for themselves and those who
call them friends?
For so the whole round earth is
every way
Bound by golden chains about the feet
of God.
In that wonderful speaking picture,
"The Angelus," Millais sets forth
the same beautiful thought, when in
the foreground he painted the humble
toilers in the harvest field reverently
bowling in prayer and worship before
the "Lord of the harvest" at the ring.
ing of the bell in the distant church.
We know that countless hearts are
praying without ceasing" for the
dear laddies so far away, and it is
only by the strength they gain by this
touch with God that they find "sur-
cease from sorrow" Can we not as
town bound by the closest ties of
love for one another, join with them
"at the setting of the sun" in their
cry to the Father of US all, to the
"God of Israel who slumbers not nor
sleeps" that He will hear and an
swer their petitions

your editorial on "Clark or Davis" is
so good wish my friends TO read it.
Mr.. Davis is townsmen of mine, fine
fellow in a good country school, but
not Washington timber yet. Mr.. Da,
Wis will be very much disappointed In
his vote in this county All his
strength is west of the Suwanee river.

ever given him. We need Frank

Thursday, May 80, is Decoration
Day; it has also been designated by
President Wilson as day Of prayer
for the success of the nation in the
great war. 1t seems to the Star that
Ocala should give it special observ-
ance. We would recommend that the
various churches hold services at some
time in the morning and that in the
afternoon all places of business be
closed, and that the people go and
decorate the graves Of our patriotic
dead-those who served on both sides
in the war between the states, those
of the Spanish-American war and
those who have passed away since the
beginning of the great war. 1t wouldd
also be a good idea for our fraternal
orders to remember the last resting
places of their departed brethren;
neither should the graves of that
great army of men, women and chill
dren who have laid down their lives in
the great battle of life be forgotten.
1t is true that the graves of om
southern dead were decorated, on Con-
federate memorial day, but May 80
would be the best of days for us all
to remember them all, as we look into
the fearful war cloud of the present
tremendous struggle, for well we
know on which side the men of both
sides would be were they alive today;
indeed it is easy to imagine the men
of the mighty armies of the blue ano
gray watching from the spirit world
the battle that their sons and grand
sons in khaki are waging for their
native land and all humanity, and
how glad they would be if they could
come in sweeping tide, their bay
onets pointing all one way, the Stars
and Stripes and the Stars and Bars,
floating side by side, Lee and Grant,
Jackson and Sherman, Stuart and
Sheridan riding stirrup to stirrup
against the Hun. Let US carry out
our presidents wish and make May 80
memorable as well as a memorial
day for all.

a hundred to his one. It goes out in
other counties some, too, as may be
seen by the following letter from Mr..
Davis home town:
