WRITES Open LETTER

An open letter to the Mayor and
City Council:
In reference to the new ordin-l
ance about parking cars on Queen
street. for only one hour on Satur-
day night, | have a few words to
say In the block in which is my
place of business, not over four or
five owners park their cars, the
rest of the cars that are close pack
ed along both sides of the street
from one end of the block to the
other are the cars of country shop.
pers, who come to town on Satur-
Gay night not only to shop. but to
enjoy the sights and lights of our
white way They find places for
| their cars and then let them sit
there until they leave for home,
They bring, their bundles to their
cars. where the members of the
| family sit to chat with their friends
and to enjoy the sights after a
weeks hard work. They would not
/ be willing to trust their cars with
the numerous bundles on dark side
streets, neither would the family
wish to Isolate itself under such
conditions. just to be on guard To
enforce this ordinance would not
only work great inconvenience
on the men who are obliged to
come to their places Of business in
their cars sometimes from quite a
little distance, but it would cause
constant shifting OF cars and a
greatly increased traffic On Queen
street. which the council is right
ly trying to eliminate. Let the mer
chants ask their country customers,
as I have what they think of this
new ordinance, and the opinion will
be nnfavorable nine times out of
ten. Everybody shops on Saturday
night the families of Owners" as
well as others.

The Bethlehem Orphan Asylum
festival held on last Sunday was a
great success. Rev. G. ]. Wcgener
delivered an inspiring address, ex-
horting the people to assist in the
work of our asylum. The asylum
choir rendered few selections. The
children's flag drill together with
other features afforded a pleasant
evening for those attending.
Word was received from Rev
Hafner in which he states that he
will arrive in New Orleans on July
13. He left the Isle of Pines OF
July Sth.

Rev. G.. c. Weir, pastor, residence
25S Vallette, phone 1873.
Last Sunday the congregations at
both services were good. At the
morning hour the Junior choir sang
three pretty anthems. The pastors
text was Acts S:4: Therefore they
that were scattered about went
everywhere preaching the word.
This was time of prosecution and this
scattered them, but wherever they
went they were messengers. These
were laymen and thus we see the
evidence of early lay activity. Dean
Hodges, in addressing the Church
Club, Boston, observed that there
were three periods of great activity
and success in the church. the time
of the martyr, the time of the Monks
and the time of the Methodists and
that in each period the work was
done by laymen."
We are now in an age when lay
men are conspicuous as workers and
still they are not doing all they
might. At the night service the
congregation was quite up to stan
dard. The music was good. The
pastors subject was: "The First
Selective Draft. The theme was the
entrance of Noah and his family into
the Ark. 1t was not military Sc
lection. but 1t was Gods approval

Ho,v Helen Became q Ferry

Once upon a time there was a
poor little girl whose name was
Helen She had to go into the for
est to gather wood.
She wandered too far in the for
est one day and lost her way. She
sat down on rock and began to
cry. A fairy appeared before her
and asked her why she was crying.
Helen told her that she was very
tired and hungry, that she had no
dinner or supper.
The fairy told her to come with
her. Helen obeyed and the fairy
took her to a large tree. The fairy
murmured few words that Helen
could not understand The huge
tree opened and Helen found her
self with the fairy in dark hall.
Helen was very frightened at first
but the fairy opened a door and
there upon large table was plenty
of good food which pleased her
very much.
After Helen had eaten, the fairy
told her to come. They entered a
beautiful flower garden. Helen
saw a, lot of little fairies dancing
and soon found herself dancing
with them.
The fairy asked Helen if she
would like to live there. Helen
was delighted to think the good
fairy would keep here there if she
wanted to STAY. So she is now
living with the fairies that love her
a great deal and she is happier
than she has ever been before.
