SpaciOusness a Feature
Spaciousness is the distinguishing
feature of the building. Here the usual
type of skyscraper has been avoided,
and while the structure is lofty, 1t
will, at the same time, be so well
placed that mere height will be lost
TO sight, and the inference of enor-
nous space, comfort and light, to say
nothing of proper ventilation, will be
strongly felt.
The building will occupy the whole
block bounded by Sixth and Seventh
and Chestnut and SAMSON streets.
That gives four fronts, but the prin-
cipal front will be that on Chestnut
street. Here the facade will be well
balanced by following the style of the
Curtis Building and carrying the mar
BILE course well up into the building
= and setting off the facade by a row
Of marble columns around the main
entrance. On the Sixth street side
will be another entrance, but. While
it will be smaller, the general erect
will be the same owing to the use OF
another row of marble columns.
Presses in Full Sight
On the first floor the visitor will
enter from Chestnut street into wide
and lofty hall. At the Seventh street
side he will be able to overlook the
pressroom and view the fast presses
turning out the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER, II the visit be paid in the
afternoon, or the PUBLIC LEDGER, II he
makes his visit at night.
At the Sixth street end of this en-
trance hall will be the publication office,
which will occupy all the space along
the Sixth street front of the building.
In the rear of the counting house will
be the private Offices of the business
manager.
: Right opposite the main entrance will
he the entrance to the auditorium. q
new feature in a newspaper office
Some idea of the size of the hall may
be had by the assertion that 1t Will
occupy about one-third of the space OF
the second and third floors and will have
a seating capacity as large as that OF
any theatre in the city.
The platform or stage will be 100
feet wide and will be fitted with an
organ on which work has already
begun. This organ. contracts for which
were let some time ago, will be the
largest in the world.
A Ten-StOry Structure
+, There are to be ten floors to the new
structure, and before we mount them by
an imaginary trip in one of the nunner-
Gus batteries of elevators which will
be found at each side Of the main en-.
trance, in the SAMSON street side Of the

"Third-There is mourning for dis

on Joseph, planning form him large
things. So when the news came that
he was not, how keen must have beer
his disappointment
And then he set his heart on Ben

when he felt that Benjamin, like JOS
eph, was not. We too have had our
disarpointments. Here is something
We planned carefully and worked hard
for-we almost dreamed over it at
right, but as we we're about to seize
the prize it burst like a bubble in our
hands. It might have been a visit to
z dear friend or relative we had not
seen for twenty years, and as we pre-
pared for it we would imagine how de-
lightful it will be to meet again, how
much We'll have to talk about. When

not control turn the tide against you
and you lose your all It might have
been some distinct service you wanted
TO perform, place where you saw
need and were goin to supply it as
you could when each time you got
able another call kept you from it.
Did Jacob mourn? OF course he did
but it was not with murmur. He re-
n6mDSrGQ MS experience at ChiCA
and knew he could wait on God. And
he did only to find that Joseph yet
lived and had come to a prominence
beyond his Hottest aspirations for him..
SC he found his comfort in the great
lesson that disappointment must be
spelled by the true mourner not with
h but capital H, for It was His ap-
pointment.
AND so we shall find comfort, az
we mourn for our disappointments
waiting for Gods explanation, which
always comes at the right time There
are no disappointments with Him.

REV. |. c. HENDERSON
breaches SERMON ON
MOvRNERS BLESSINGS

The Sunday night talks at the Pres
byterian church by the pastor, Rev.
Leroy G. Henderson, D. D., are at
tracing many strangers. Sunday night
tie topic was Comfort For The Mour
ner," from Matt. A, blessed are they
that mourn, for they shall be com
forted." Next Sunday night the topic
is "The Meek and Their Inheritance"
Sunday night Rev Mr. Henderson
said, in part:
Let us remember in this, as in all
ot the Beatitudes, Jesus is speaking
to His disciples, not to the multitude,
He had previously preached to the
multitudes, saying, Repent ye, for the
Kingdom of heaven is at hand Now
those who were repentant and had
become His disciples, come to Him as
He goes up into the mountain, and He
instructs them in the things of the
kingdom So, when he says Blessed
are they that mourn, for they shall be
comforted,' He refers to all His dis
ciples, however for off some of them
might be following Him.
All mourning is not blessed. for all
mourning does not issue in comfort.
There is a mourning that is selfish
complaining, faithless. Such is the
mourning of Saul, when he enviously
complains that David is exalted, at his
expense by the popular acclaim, Saul
has slain his thousands. but David his
tens of thousands Such is the
mourning of Hannah, when his plans
miscarried and the very punishment
ne metes out to Mordecai descends up
on h& own head. Such is the mourn
/ ing of Judas, when stung by remorse
for bartering Jesus he turns to His
purchasers and said, 4 have betrayed
innocent blood
con the other hand there is a
mourning that is prayerful, patient,
! prevailing. 1t hnds its comfort and
is always blessed
"First-There is mourning for sin,
as in the case of David, bowed down
not so much on account of his per
sCnal danger, as because his sin was
against Cod against thee, thee only
Rave l sinned.'. Yet with faith that
he shall obtain mercy and have his
transgressions plotted out. As in the
case of Peter, aggrieved not so much
that he had forfeited his place among
the disciples as that he had offended
his Lord. Yet with unfailing faith in
Him for restoration.
Forgiveness.

Forgiveness.

For such mourning there is first the
comfort of forgiveness. Gods forgive,
ness is not the weak, anaemic thing
that is ours when we say I'll forgive,
but I'll not forget The word wits
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-04-11

Him is picturesque and powerful-the
same word that was used when Peter
sstid to his fisherman brother, Andrew,
loose the boat To forgive is to unite
the cable and let the boat go. To for
give is to cut the cable that held the
boat fast to the shore of guilt and sin
So God looses men from the guilt of
sin. A further idea is to wash thor
oughly-not the superficial cleansing
of the hands, but the washing of a
garment, where the whole fabric is
cleansed God will wash away ou"
sins; moreover, He will cast them be-
hmm His back and that means they
will never be heard of again, for no
one has ever been to the back of God
Is not that a tremendous comfort for
tie mourning sinner

Mistakes.

Second There is mourning for
mistakes. Jeptha mourned when he
saw that rash VOW meant the sacri-
flee of his only daughter. David
mourned for Absalom, even when his
own armies were victorious, largely no
doubt, because he saw his mistakes
in rearing his son. All of US have
made our mistakes. There are the
mistakes of college days. when We
failed to use to the full those golden
moments of preparation for life's
work; the mistakes since, when time
and again we despised the day of
small things, not even dreaming that
nothing with God is small and right
then. He was taking our measure
of speaking unthoughtedly and in
juring someone else's reputation, the
mistake of letting prejudice close
your door when you might have en-
entertained an angel Hnawares!
Now let US not be too quick to
clear away from memory the wreck
age of our mistakes, if the thought O.
them will make US be more careful
and painstaking in the future. Let

Fellowship.

"And, secondly there is the COMFORT
o. fellowship. The barrier being
broken down by forgiveness, the soul
is brought into fellowship with God
and feels once more the pOy of saliva
ton. Fellowship means friendship.
What great thing to be the friend o.
God, to tell Him those things you
would tell no one else, to enjoy His
companionship like Abraham of old.
Further still it means partnership,
the assured and powerful assistance
OF God in every righteous undertaking.
His unceasing help in the everyday
Of oru existence. Surely that is COM
fort to the mourning captive.

Senator Stone declared, "has ben IS they were designed to be, to bring discredit and bring the present government into public disfavor and weaken it's hold on popular conf dcnce. That seems to be the Roose- vcltian standard of patriotism
 Similar utterances made by less pcwer1ll citizens, Senator Stone as- serted, would subject them to prose cution for disloyalty.

 Making his general charges in most vigorous terms, Senator Stone then dramatically marshalled his "wit- resses." as if before a court, to prove them.
