FAMOUS PRIEST Is
AT ST. MICHAEL'S
Father Harden, PauIst Missionary,
Makes First Appearance in City.

The mission sermon last night at
st. MichaePs church was preached by
Rev. Father Harden. This was the
first appearance of the distinguished
Paulist in Pensacola. He at once won
his way into the hearts Of all by his
eloquent discourse and pleasing per-
sonality. The subject of his sermon
was "The Great Transition"
In the course Of his lecture, Father
Harden said:
81, "One of the most pernicious effects
of sin is death. Adam sinned and for
this expressly he was condemned to
die, with all his descendants. The
thought Of death startles the mind with
amazement more than any other truth.
BY faith we believe in other divine
truths, in judgment, heaven, hell. We
do not see them. But our own expert
ence confirms the truth of death, the
great transition from life to eternity.
We see it snatching a victim here and
d victim there, and we know that it
has been appointed also unto us, one
day, to die. There is no avenue of
escape.
THE certainty of death is the first
lesson of life itself. We are born to
die. 1t is the inheritance of all man.
kind. last illness is prepared for
each one of us. We can no more es-
cape from this than we can from the
angels trumpet at the end of the
world. The question is not Am l go
ing to die, but am 1 ready to die?'
"The world may say that we are
morbid for meditating on the thought
of death, yet the thought of death from
a personal point of view is a very sal
utary one. The man who is convinced
that he must surely die and after
death appear before his God and Re-
deemer to give an account of his life
and ponders on that fact from time
to time is a man whose whole life is
preparation for the awful moment
of death. Show me a man who. follow
ing the example of the great saints of
God. meditates daily on death, and
will show you a man who is indeed
living the life of the soul and is daily
preparing to meet his God in judg-
ment."
Tonight Father Miller will deliver
lecture on: Love, Marriage and Di-
vorce." Services start at 1880. The
public is kindly invited to hear this
vital problem discussed.

and two-year- olds never having had
ticks are susceptible to tick fever.
IF dipping is not carried out this SUM
mer our cattle are liable to become IN.
tested with fever ticks by cattle coming
here from infested districts.
IF they get the tickets they are al
most certain to take the fever.
1T would be as bad with them AS
if they mad been shipped from some
northern or other tick free territory.
This you see, leaves US in great dan
ger of losing large number of our
cattle.

cattle may drop tickets near our pas.

for the cattle inside
Every community in the county that

U. S. Shipyard Workers Best.
"The shipyard worker Of the United

which has raised the efficiency of the
various crafts to high plane, and
production has kept pace accordingly"
Admiral Benson said. The industry
has expanded from $4,000 skilled me-
chanics to force of 3S5,0OO men avail
able to the private shipyards, he said,
adding: "Credit for the accomplish
ment Of the aims of the emergency
fleet corporation is therefore due to
these men, who have surpassed all
previous performances in the shipbuild-
ing of the world"

229 separate services. They carried
