A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM &. BARTON
FESTIVAL OF NEW LIFE
BY DR.. '

No man. however, skeptical or OBJ
tuse can wholly escape the spirit of
Easter. He may hold his peace, but
the very stones cry out. The cold,
dead earth wakes to new life, and the
spirit of the resurrection is in every
blade Of grass and every song or bird
Let us not trouble ourselves too
carefully concerning the precise form
Of the wonder that occurred 1900
years ago. The question is not, Did
Jesus rise? but, is Jesus living?
The latter question is easier for
us, and requires no very doubtful bal
ancing of evidence
On that first Easter the worlds hopes
rose from the dead. The hopes of the
disciples lay in a tomb, and a great
store was at the door. For 1900 years
that stone has been removed, and an
angel has been sitting upon it, pro-
claiming to men that the Lord of life
lives.
1t is not simply the dogma of a sect:
it is part and parcel of the birthright
of humanity-the hope that springs
anew at Easter.
Robert G. 1ngerson stood at his
brothers grave, and asked the cen
turtles old question, IF man die,
shall he live again?"
He had to answer, Reason says,
Perhaps: and Love whispers, Yes"
Let no man scoof at the faith of the
great apostle Of doubt for that answer
At such a time there is a faith which
cries out with Tennyson:
Peace. For I loved ind still
love him forever;
The dead are not dead, but alive
Easter comes with its mighty re-
Enforcement of the affirmation of love
and hope. The affirmation of the soul
comes back in the compelling assur-
ance of this anniversary.
1t is not so wonderful that life
should exist after death as it is that
we should believe that it exists. God
might have 81 million wondrous things
in store for US which we could not
possibly understand. We live in a
world where death surrounds us on
every side. How can we possibly
think of life after death? The wonder
is not that it shou1d exist, but that
we should believe that it exists The
fact is less wonderful than the faith.
so low in the social or spiritual scale
that it does not believe in life after
death.
Whence comes this miracle? Not
the miracle of the fact. but the miracle
of the faith? If il were 4 delusioR,
it Is the most comforting delusion
that ever entered the imagination OF
humanity. How did it get there2
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1921-03-24

And why should we think it a delu-
sion? In the world of a good God,
there is nothing too good to be true.
Now comes Easter with its mes
sage of solemn joy. And as it comes,
the very earth cries out in harmo-
NOUS accord. Winter is not the final
fact. Death is not the last word Of
God.
There Is no unbelief:
Whoever plants a seed beneath the
sod,
And waits to see it push away the
clod,
Trusts he in God

PRESS COMMENT
Safety In Sureness; Counts More
Than SaMnritN-

Than Severity
mo matter what you make the PEN
atty for wrong doing, the sureness
with which it is served on wrong do
ers is what counts in stopping it
not the severity"
This was the opinion voiced by
Thomas Mott Osborne to a group of
citizens interested in making the crime
cleanup in their city effective.
There is little doubt that Mr.. Os-
borne has struck the keynote Of law
lessness in this country today. There
is no lack Of law nor Of penalties. but
evasion of both is too easy. For one
reason or another, the criminal is not
arrested, or somewhere after his ar
raignment there is a slip. The case is
passed, and passed aagin, and finally
fades into obscurity, and the criminal
still under indictment pays no penalty
for his crime. Or else in these DAYS
of prison reform and a humanitarian
ism sometimes more sentimental than
wise, sentence is suspended to give the
crook another chance, which he takes
to commit another offense. Politics
and pull do their perfect work also in
defeating the ends of justice. There is
little in any such regime to discourage
crime.
The correction of such conditions
rests with the citizens. If they per-
nit inefficiency or doubtful honesty
to tamper with the public safety and
make no sign, they have no right to
complain if crime flourishes among
them. 1t means they are maintaining
in office those who should be remov-

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
"Three Voices"
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Three Voices"
After Gyp the Giraffe had swallowed
about half a bushel of delicious leaves,
he started to change 'em around, just as
COW does the grass she has eaten.
which is a peculiar way of doing; he'd
snip the leaves off the tree and swallow
the whole into one OF his tummies.
But tummies don't like things swaI-
lowed whole, as we all know, so Gyp did
his tummy a favor by rolling the leaves
up his long throat into his mouth again.
This time he chewed and he chewed
and he chewed until the leaves were
nice and soft and just right. Then he
swallowed them second time and put
them nicely away into a second tummy.
While he was doing this he heard
voices near, for although a giraffe can
not talk nor make any kind Of a sound,
he can hear splendidly.
One voice said, Don't you love a
circus?"
Gyp pricked up his ears. He was in
away from one.
My, yesv answered another voice. st

Fourth of July. Nearly as well as Christ

Gyp listened and chewed and chewed
and listened.
What do you like best in the circus?"
asked the third voice.

teriously.
MY. this is interesting" thought Gyp,
peering through the trees, but unable to

surprised, though, had he known that

the owner of the second voice on the
other ear. and the owner of the third

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY ADELE GARRISON.
Why Madge Said to Dicky "That
Woman Is Planning to Steal
Those Paintings"
Fifty thousand dollars!"

Fifty thousand dollars!"
AS the words fell from Dicky's lips
they were echoed in varying gasps by
the members of the group gathered in
the Cosgrove farmhouse in the Cats
kill mountains where Dicky and / had
come for a weeks outing
We appeared, Dicky and I, to have
tumbled right into an adventure. AT
our first supper at the farmhouse
had scented a mystery in Mrs. Co.'S
groves apparent terror at my asser-
ton that 1 could tell her twin sons
apart, and had become suspicious that
Mrs. Allis, a, fellow boarder, had some
Interior motive in coming to the
farmhouse.
Then after supper our big, jOVial
host had led us into the farmhouse
parlor to look at some pictures of the
Catskill mountain scenery which his
wife's brothed had painted. DicSy, ex-
pecting to be bored, had at once rec
ognized the paintings as the work of
a genius, Robert Savarin, and had an
nounced the collection was worth $780,
600.
There was genuine amazement in
every voice save one. l schooled my
self too long in the study of voices
and shares of expression in my teach
ing days not to recognize the false
not the the affected little squeal that
Mrs. Allis gave.
Fifty thousand dollars! Why, it is
fortune! Are you not glad you did
not sell me a picture now for $40 or
SIS. But then. even if you had, 1
should have returned it when 1 had
found out its value"
Her words were too honeyed, her
smile too fixed to ring true. But I had
no time to study her. The extraordi-
nary behavior of Mrs. Cosgrove rivet-
ed my attention.
Her face pale, but her eyes glowing
like live Goals, she tottered toward her
husband and clasped his arm.
"Oh, John. did hear him say $50
O0O?" she gasped. her face working
pitifully TT is really true? Think
what it will mean to Robert"
STEADY, mother!" her husband ad-
monished, and there was a distinct
note of warning in his voice, while
the twin boys sprang right toward
her with a look of lively fright in
their faces. we know what it will
mean to Roberts sister-to have
these pictures so honored."
He caught and held her look, and
the woman shrank back into the calm,
emotionless manner that had been
hers from my first sight of her
But to my mind pondered her. I'M
finished sentence. That she had not
meant to say "Roba,t's sister," but
Robert" ] was very sure.
What mystery was here? Both
Dicky and Mr.. Cosgrove had spoken
of the artist in the past tense, as if
he were dead. And yet Robert Sa-
varin's sister had welcomed the news
of tho value OF her brothers paintings
as if il meant much to him.
Diclzy was speaking again, and by
his tone and manner I knew that he
was intensely interested in this ro-
mantle development of our outing.
Have you these paintings insured
against fire and theft?" He directed
his question toward Mr. Caaaross~

Dear Sir
Referring to article in The Journal
Of March %, the suggestion is a good
one, and if everyone got interested in
specializing in some particular flower
it would do much to beautify the city.
Pensacola has many beautiful flowers,
such as the wistaria, hydrangea, ia
pOnica, oleander, azalea and others, but
there is one more distinctive and ap-
propriate to my mind than all the 9TH

and is easy to raise. This flower has

in Belgian Craft When
His Own Is Disqualified

BRUSSELS, Sept. IS (By The AS.
sociated ss).-Under intermitten,
showers and strong easterly winds the
contestants in the balloon race for the
James Gordon Bennett trophy started
off this afternoon.
The big gas bags went away at in
tervals of ten minutes. The English
balloon Banshee, piloted by the Eng.
lish aeronaut Baldwin, was sent off at
1920 p. m. with the wind blowing be.
tween thirty and forty miles an hour
The strong wind gave TIE pilots con
siderable trouble, and Uselli, the Ital-
ian entrant. withdrew owing to dam
ages to his balloon.
Ralph Upson. American, in balloon
lent him by Lieutenant De Muyster. a
Belgian aeronaut, was third to gel
away and promptly disappeared in g
southwesterly direction. Upson's bal
loon did not fill the conditions REQUIRED
by the Aero Club, and he was com
PEELED to withdraw. Lieutenant De
Muyster, however. lent him the
Belgica, with which he won the race
from Birmingham, Ala, in 1920, flying

Bernard Van Hoffman, flying the
City of st. Louis, got away at 4:OF
p. m, and Wade T. Van Ormand, ir
the City Of Akron, at 4:30 p. m.
Owing to the wind the balloon Of the
French aeronaut M. Biernaime was
damaged, but nevertheless he was able
to start the race
A thrill was lent the start by sol
dier who was assisting in holding dowr
the Belgian entrant, Belgica, becoming
entangled in the ropes. He was un
able TO extricate himself and was car.
ried aloft as the gas bag ascended TIL.
spectators below watched the soldier
hanging to the rope, swaying in tn,
wind, as Lieutenant De Muyster ane
his companion in the basket SLOWLY
hauled him to safety. The rescue wa.
made just as the balloon disappeared
among the clouds.
Aeronautic experts say the extra
passenger in De Muyster's car will
prove handicap, as it probably will
be necessary for him to throw owe.
his ballast before his opponents ar,
required to do so.
Owing to the direction of the wind
the aeronauts are likely to be carrie,
over the English Channel or the At
fantic Ocean. Some of the experts
think there is a chance of the conte st
ants landing either on the Cornwall
England, or Brittany coast, and SOM
are of the opinion that the gas bag
may be driven as far north as Ireland
