SUNDAY OBSERVANCE

Editor Star: In late issue Of the
Star I noticed the sheriff at West
Palm Beach had issued orders TO stop
all Sunday games at that place. in
which l suppose he viii have the
hearty support Of some at least, for
they were certainly detrimental to
any community where they were
pIacticed.
I was visiting some time ago in one
Of the beautiful East Coast towns. 1t
has fine churches. a large school
building, banks. stores and dwellings
and a millionaire would be proud Of
the community. Everything showed
prosperity and energy. In the morn
ing where l attended church the con-
gregation wasn't large; there Wa
room in the pews for many more. In
the afternoon we We're sitting on the
porch for a quiet talk, when our at
tention was attracted by some voices,
and soon we found is to be a Sunday
baseball game. Later We drove with
some friends in car by the grounds.
There we saw old and young, male
and female, as enthusiastic as a lot
Of politicians on election day. Such
crowds 1t reminded me of an old
time camp meeting, and automobiles
by the score. Such things ought moi
to be.
The present neglect of the Sab.
bath by many church members i'm.
Derils the very existence of the church
as we'll as the Sabbath When Sab,
bath observance declines, the church
declines; not only the church suffers
but it is essential to the prosperity Of
our country to remember the Sabbath
day and keep it holy. That was 4;
part of the moral law handed dow
from Mount Sinai.
The Lord said in Leviticus 1880
''Ye shall keep my Sabbath and rev
I erence my sanctuary" David said, 4"
was glad when they said unto me, lie
US go up to the house of the Lord
When the righteous are in authorit,
the people rejoice"
When we come to the New Tesla
ment we find the most marked stres
laid on the Sabbath. Our Lords mod
Of observing the Sabbath was one O
the main features of his life. which hi
pharisaic adversaries most eagerl
watched and criticized.
Keep the Sabbath day to sanctif
it as the Lord thy God has command
ed thee. Mrs. w. w. Howell.

MOVE THE CAPITAL
Tampa Tribune)

Cut out any appropriations TO i'm
prove the present capitol building,
sell it or give it away, and move the
capital of Florida to either Ocala or
Orlando.
Ever since the Tribune has been a
more than a quarter Of a
century, 1t has had to approve smil-
ingly Of going away off to the other
side of the state for everything Off
cial the people wanted. 1t has seen
lot Of money spent for the erection
for supreme court building, for Off
ces for various other departments or
parts of departments, and annually it
has seen the present site become more
and more untitled TO be the governing
center of this state.
Now, when there is talk of selling
the western counties to Alabama, and
talk Of dividing the state into two
parts, comes the old bill demanding
100000 for improving the old build.
| ing. Let's call halt right now.
There is not a man living but be,
lieves the capitol will ultimately bt
moved, and who does not think il
ought to be moved. Geographically
it is way off from the average of dis
lance to be travelled, and from Z
population-center viewpoint it is of
on rim. The time has come TO
lseriously considering the change
Ocala or Orlando, either are admiral
lily located for the site, both have ex
Icellent railroad facilities and bot
can have their schedules improved or
What the people want is to have
lcapital located in about the center o
the state. Move it now and you hea
!. the last of all propositions to sell par
of Florida or to divide the state. n
one wants any division, and no on
. wants to sell any of Florida; but ev
eryone does want to be brought neal
er to the center of things, and thi
can be accomplished by the chang
suggested.
Let the legislature take the initis

It is the "sense of the council that
the street bonds be sold," says the re-
port of the last council meeting. If
they are sold now, then will follow the
six hottest, wettest months of the
year, and the worst to lay down the
sort of material decided on. Torren-
tial rains will drive workmen to shell
ter and sweep away newly laid paw
ing; the hot sun will warp the asphalt
and it will lay in wrinkled ridges
With the very little money the city
has, it should lay pavement under the
best conditions only And it's the
Stars opinion that the people would
rather that class of pavement isn't
laid at all.

Hilton S. Hampton. city attorney
Of Tampa, in speaking of the propos-

OF the railroad commission, wants to
know why ice is not named along with
gas, water and electricity. Opposition
is developing against the bill from al
most every Florida city that owns its
utilities. AS for Ocala, this town
has as much trouble as it wants from
its own people in attending to its light

outsiders butting in.

THE KING OF THE CLOCK
WORLD

4 MERlCA'S lar est timepiece looks
\ down upon the world from the
giant tower of Colgate-& Company
factory in Jer*ey City, n. J.
The massive hands are constructed
Of brass. in truss formation and COW
cred with sheet copper. The minute
hand is Y feet long and 10, inches
wide sakI1e point. It weighs 80
pounds. The point moves half a
minute at Il JUMP and travels more
than half a mile in its q mara
thons around the dial daily. The dial
is over 40 feet in diameter and illu-
minated at night--i22 electric bulbs
being used on the minute hand alone,
The numbers on the dial are 5h
feet high. The pendulum rod is
eight feet long, weighs 76 pounds,
made of zinc and steel so prOpOrtioned
as to permit of accurate compensation
and adjustment to overcome sudden
and decided changes Of temperature.
The bob weighs $50 pounds. The
weights which propel the hands weigh
1,5OO pounds and provide ample power
to offset all wind resistance.
This master clock is said to be
the most mechanically correct, tower
clock ever constructed. 1t runs eight
days without rewinding. Built at
Thomaston. Connecticut. and installed
in 1903, it has operated the year round
with an average variation Of less than
one minute q week.

NATIONAL METHODIST
CHURCH
BY TT. MAXEY

II AMBLING about the so-called
N "old" section of our national
capital one Sunday morning, my at
tention was attracted to church
which, outwardly, looked but little
different than hundreds of other
houses of worship which are scattered
promiscuously across our broad land
and are representative of numerous
denominations of religious belief, .ex-
cept for its peculiarly slender and
graceful spire
Approaching this thus distinguished
colorful and pleasing tone, as, from up
in the steeple, chime of ten rare
bells called the faithful to devotion.
Entering, l learned that this his
toric structure was none other than
The National Methodist church. After
service l was told and shown how a
former bishop and beloved worshipers
had immensely enriched it and en-
deared it's memory by unusual con-
tributiOns collected on their travels
in foreign lands.
For instance, some of the marble
tiles in the vestibule were brought
all the way from the ruins of Sol
omon's temple in jerusalem; the
keystone in the arch above the pulpit
was carved from a stone carried from
the ruins Of the same far-off temple,
and the beautiful pulpit and highly
polished altar rail are partially made
from the logs Of olive wood, trans
ported from the Garden Of Gethsemane
and Mount of Olives. An ivy vine
which tightly attached itself to the
east wall Of this old edifice was grown
from slip taken from the tomb Of
Martin Luther, at Wittenberg, Ger
many.
Presidents Grant and Mckinley, Vice
Presidents Colfax and Fairbanks,
General John A. Logan and many
other men prominent in the affairs Of
the nation, have worshiped at this
shrine.

Mirror Or Window,

It appears that some time ago there
was invented a mirror that can be
made translucent at will, so that when
placed in a show window it at first re-
fleets the faces of persons looking in,
but suddenly turns transparent, where
upon the spectators see the contents
of the window in place Of their own
reflections. This is effected by means
Of a thin film on the back of the glass,
which, when the background is dark,
reflects the light, but when the back
ground is Illuminated, becomes as in
visible as pane Of clear glass.
