terday's Issue to the cine-sh0w adVer-
tised by the Sanitation Service to be held
at the Marine Barracks on Thursday
night the 10th. Upon due consideration
and at the instance of persons interested
in this show and DESTROYS of attending
it, it is brought to attention that on
Thursday night there will be a cinema
tograph exhibition also at the Christian
sted Theatre where a serial in which d
large number Of patrons are interested,
is being shown twice d week, on Monday
and Thursday nights; and II is pointed
out that If both attractions occur on the
same evening it is certain that both can
not be satisfactorily attended. There
fore, inasmuch as many have engaged
tickets for the show at the Chrlstiansted
Theatre and that it is likely to draw a
large audience from among those who
will appreciate and, it is hoped, profit
from instruction offered at the free show,
it is suggested that the Sanitation Ser
vice appoint another night that will be
available to the majority TO the end that
the benefits Of this show which is cal
culated to be in the interest of one and
all, may prove thoroughly successful and
attain the maximum good possible. 1t
is felt that those in charge of the show
will readily recognize the advantage to
be gained from acceding to this proposal
and it is desired to thank them in antici-
patton of their fixing the show for We'd
nesday or Friday night.

of foodstutfs down to a normal basis is
bound to have more practical results to
public advantage that any thing the Food
Commission can claim credit for, or that
may be gained from newspaper com
ment. 1t would be impracticable to
enumerate the many items which are
placed within reasonable reach OF the
people of moderate means, but it will
be doubtless interesting to learn that

elsewhere, not to speak Of other staple
articles turned over in small quantities
at positively amazing rates. Mr.. Pretto
says he can prove that his prices nett
him a fair profit and if anybody thinks
otherwise he can produce the figures,
While on this subject it may be asked
what has become of the Food Commits
sion, by the way? seeing that prices
have dropped so remarkably that none
now dares adhere to those figures long
ago published by this institution for
public welfare, the Food Commission
must have adjourned permanently why
it is never heard Of any more.

very profitable 10 or Is minutes discourse
was listened to with earnest attention,
as with great pathos the audience was
carried in imagination. away aback to
over 5000 years ago to the incident that
transpired (probably in the early morning
hours on the banks of the Nile, in con
~nection with the finding and adopting OF
a little baby boy three months old.
In calling attention to the best course
that should be pursued in the training Of
children the Rev. Gentleman poineed out
and laid great stress on the importance
of proper discipline as contrasted with
the usual british manner of chastising
the child with a double 0 p or bow
stick, causing it to yell and scream out
oh, God oh God SO thet once in his
experience even a parrot seated in It's
cage, out of sympathy for a child treated
In this way took up its cries and sQuealed
oh God Oh God z.
Directing the child's attention to God
in It's tender years, and the influence of
a Christian Home, are means to that
end; so that when it is old it will not
depart from the way it should go. The
last portion of the text was the Reward,
for such tender nursing and care, viz
the consolation and bliss experienced in

out, be all sufficient. Pastor Aiken did
not forget to remark concerning the
tender nursing and care taken of the
little inmates of the Home, as attested
by the sturdy voices of the little ones he
at times hears as he passes near the
Institution. For weakIings he knows,
possess weak voices.
4. The Hymn. Take my life and let
it be, consecrated Lord, to Thee, was
then sung.
5. Pastor Petersen of Frederiksted
then briefly addressed the audience.
6. Pastor Critchlow Their followed in
briefly directing the attention of the as

and cleanliness in which the Home is

a superior management in any other
similar establishment.
Z. Pastor Mayhem then led in prayer.

Doxology: Praise God, from whom all

hour spent at the Home was brought to
