the full as essential 10 the Christian
faith.
Christmas is n season of JOY, or
%blithesome eheerfulness ut the advent
OF the Savior. To a world sobered by
its Gethsemane and Calvary, Easter
brings n message of Faith and Hope.
the essence of the religion mankind
needs.
Mankind has passed through the
Agony eliminating in and symbolized
by the little white cross. Heavy
hearted we are still inclined TO seek
solace at the tomb. To US the mes
sage m again: why seek ye the
living among the deadi He is not
here; He is risen"
Therein lies the message of Easter
the promise Of immortality beyond the
tomb.
Nor is il a mere coincidence that
Easter falls at this season. Spring
is simply Natures way Of reiterating
the Easter message. Through the long
winter months the world Of Nature
has seemed asleep In death. Trees
bare, fields destitute, death appeared
to reign supreme.
Then, Just as we are almost wea-
ried enough to give up hope, the sap
begins to rum. little green things to
shoot. birds to chirp as cheerily as
ever.
1t is Natures message OF immortal
ity to the world of humanity.
There Is another and a wider aspect
of the Easter message. We seem TO
be standing by the tomb OF much that
Is holy. Religion, belief in principle,
idealism, how dead they seem to be !.
Seeking only material things, neglect
full of things of the spirit, the world
Is In a parlous state. The few who
have held their beliefs look about In
perplexity and dismay. Has the very
body of the faith been removed? All,
no. In the midst of our anxious grief
comes the revlving. h~eartening assur-
C HE Is not dead He Is risen."
Ever the Easter festival comes
around-after the inevitable Agony
and every spring the magic words are
spoken and we go forth clad In invul-
nerable armor for the fray. for He Is
not dead He Is risen." SO shall we
| other men also rise.

When are we to- hear something
definite about the municipal docks /?
The people Of Pensacola long ago
voted in favor Of bonds for the build

waited patiently for some action by
the commissioners. Now they are
getting anxious.
Opinion seems to differ as to the
best site to be chosen each place hav-

columns Of arguments published as to
why this site or that site is the best,
each of which have it's merits.
There are many workmen in Pensa-

and select it quick If you haven't
made up your minds after this long
time, make them UP, and get started

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM (. BARTON
SUCCESS


Recently I heard one man ask an
other, How do you account for wor-
thington's success 2"
The other man answered, 'aThe only
way know OF accounting for It IS that
he has the goods"
That had not seemed to occur to the
man who asked the question. He SEEM
ed to be one or the kind who assumed
that If any man attains success. greater
than his own. it is because he inherited
wealth, or married the daughter Of his
employer, or had a pull with some
one higher up.
That seems to me a bad habit. It is
not good for a man to get to think
Ing that the success OF other men IS a
sham.
It is the towards consolation for
ones own failures.
It is better to assume that other men
have won their success honestly. or
that II they have not won IT in that
way they are not likely to hold it, and
then to resolve to win success for ones
self honestly and not otherwise.
This thing of attempting to account
for men is delusive. We cannot ac-
count for any man. The most common
place man has about him something
unaccountable. But in world where
the field is open and competition keen.
not many men are. able to secure and
hold positions OF eminence unless they
deserve them.
When you see a man who has risen.
rung by rung on the ladder of success.
do not deceive yourself with the mo-
ton that he had a balloon. If he had.
the gas would have escaped some time
ago. The chances are that he got
there by climbing.
II you believe in the balloon theory.
you are liable to waste valuable time
looking for the gas bag. when you
ought to be gripping the lower rungs
Of the ladder, and bracing your feet
for the ascent.
There is some sham success. and
some of 1t has an astonishingly long
run of apparent reality: but in the end
It shows itself to be just what 1t Is
But the best thing for you to assume
is that the man who has succeeded
and who is still master of his success.
earned it honestly.
Go and do thou likewise.

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
8Y OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Is FIsHERMAN,s RlrE.

The fat worm kept wrigglng right
over Spike Startish's head.
Spike was so busy eating his oyster
that he didn't see the worm at first.
But suddenly one of his eyes on the
f end of one of his points happened to
i look up, and instantly he let go of his
dinner. He was getting pretty tired Of
oysters, anyway, and the worm was a
, special kind that he liked
"Oh, ho.,' he chuckled loud enough
for the Twins and Cap'n Pennywinl1le
and Tub Terrapin to hear. They were
/ ali hiding IN the sea weed grove. "oh,
no, Mr.. Worm! This is my lucky
day."
Spike waited for a minute and just
when Mr. Worm was about two inches
away, he lifted himself on his hind
legs, so to speak. and made grab
! with his mouth. His mouth, yon know,
was right underneath where he kept
his tummy. Spike had a big mouth and
took IN Mr.. Worm at one large bite
"Ouch!"
Spike was soon Kicking for dear life.
"Quit biting me, Mr.. Worm, and III
spit you out" he cried. Tive most

go if you'll only quit biting.
But Spike didn't know that Mr..
Worm had no say SO in the matter
whatever; that Mr.. Worm was on a
hook. and that it was the hook which
was so uncomfortable.
Suddenly the line to which Nj.
Worm and the hook were attached, and
to which Mr.. Starfish was now at
tached. was pulled up slowly toward
the top OF the water.
Down through the waves came Mr..
Fisherman's voice. "Ah, hal" said he,
