GREAT LECTURER

1t is the matter in which he en-
thuses people to make more Of an
effort for their church and the way
in which he leads them to want to
do more for the faith they profess
that spells the measure of his sue
cess.
Mr. Sunbeam is one of the most
forceful speakers that the Lutheran
church in America has and he sure
ly is to be congratulated upon the
manner in which he handles what
to most men would prove a very
difficult situation.
He does not abuse anyone. He
calls attention to what he thinks are
shortcomings in such way
hat he retains the respect and the
good will of those who do not agree
with him.
1t should be stated in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Sunbeam is not in the
employ of any organization. He is
making this lecture tour of the state
on his own responsibility and he is
depending upon the interest of the
Lutheran people in his message and
in his work for the money necessary
to maintain him and make it pos
sible for him to continue.

What On YOu Think?

When you put your thinking cap
on after the evning meal, what Is
the trend of your thoughts?
High prices of everything you
use.
Business Stagnatlon.
Political corruption.
Grating prohibition agents.
Booze scandals.
Divorces in high life.
Murders and robberies.
These are few of the multltu-
dinous thoughts that fit through
the average mind, with their long
trail of dissatisfaction and disgust
Try a change of thought for
few eyenings-something along these
lines:
Is the home life what it should
be?
Is the proper amount of care
and supervisors being exercised over
the growing children?
Are che best efforts being put
forth for the Improvement OF con-
ditions in the home commun tyF
Does the proper spirit of an1ity
and unity prevail among the bust
ness interests of our town?
Are you booster of the home
town, or are you a critic? =
Thoughts often come unbidden'
but Il Is not difficult 10 divert them
to certain lines if one so desires.
! Try it for the welfare Of those
about you. /.
1t may result in greater peace OF
mind for yourself.

According to certain type of peo-
pie, the country is going to the dogs.
The war has Embossed all the foun-
tains Of evil, and American institu-
tions are in danger of being over
whelmed. Patriotism and virtue are
dead, except in the minds of these
virtuous critics who sit on side lines,
frequently doing nothing themselves
to correct the difficulties they COM
plain of. Suppose occasionally peo-
pie should look around and see the

WRECK ON THE o. V. RAILWAY

The Saturday night train of the
Oklawaha Valley, Ocala to Palatka,
had the misfortune to split a switch
at Silver Springs. The engine left
the track and dug its nose deep into
the sand along the right of way and
destroyed the track for hundred feet
or more. The accident occurred on
the road crossing just as you get to
the springs and made necessary a de-
tour for those who desired to spend
Sunday afternoon at that popular re-
sort. Railroad traffic was tied up all
Saturday night and the track was not
cleared at late hour Sunday after
noon, although quite large crew was
working on the track to get it in order
so that the engine might be put back
on the rails.

Daniel Decatur Emmett was born

CAPITALISTS STOCK IN TRADE

CAFI Ais . OSN I'M HADE
Somebody in d well-knOwn publica-
ton raises the rather unpleasant Ques-
dOn as to whether capitalists are para
sites. Many people would be disposed
TO answer at once that, on the con-
trary, capitalists are very nearly the
whole thing. It would be difficult to
imagine the world going forward, now
adays, without the capitalists to help,
says Christian Science Monitor. The
world is pretty we'll accustomed to
look TO them for the money which
keeps things moving, which gives all
sorts Of people their coveted chance TO
make, and to buy, and to sell. Still,
perhaps Ii ought to be remembered
that the capitalists stock in trade IL
about the only commodity that can be
bought and sold indefinitely without
undergoing any depreciation from wear
and tear. or without spelling In the
process. 1t is perhaps the only com
modify. also. for the use of which fees
can be charged to three or four appli-
cants simultaneously. without dimin-
ishing the amount or value of the thing
used. Certainly the commodity that
is sold by the capitalist is In a class
by itself.
