Reform Association
Head Here Tomorrow

DR.. James s. Martin, who will
speak at the Diamond Street 81.
Z. church tomorrow night at 1880
O'Clock with former Senator Frank
G. Cannon, has had a very strlk-
ing experience. He was a college
professor and then was drawn into
the ministry where he served for
16 years in very successful pas
iorate. He was later invited to
take charge Of the National Re.
form association with headquarters
at Pittsburgh, and he accepted.
This association got its name from
a proclamation made by Abraham
Lincoln In 1863 and long before the
word reform had been misappropri-
ated by so many futile movements.
The operations Of the association
are around the world. 1t has Of.
flces in Toxic, Paris and London,
in Boston. Nashville, Chicago aud
Los Angeles, and a thoroughly
equipped and legislative depart
ment at Washington.
Under the executive leadership
OF DR.. Martin It's membership has
increased to more than 100000.
It's budget has multiplied more
than twenty fold and the Christian
Statesman, which is the magazine
of the association, now goes into
twenty thousand homes in the
United States.

SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL

Asst night closed the second week of what
IL perhaps may be termed the most successful
revival services that ever have been held in the
city, the Sunday and Lyon campaigns, notwith-
standing.
Tho large auditorium of the Fourth Street
Church has been crowded every night with num-
bers of interested, earnest people. The atmos-
phere has been filled with compelling spirit that
directed the mind to heart searching and thought.
There has been nothing sensational about the
meetings. The pastors, whom the people hear
every week-or even more often, IRE doing the
preaching, assisted by an active young song lead.
er and good chorus. The audience is Fair
mont audience, and the good resulting from the
services will be Fairmont's good.
The sight Of $50 young girls in their teens who
presented themselves for Christian conservation on
Thursday evening was one long to be remembered,
and happening OF which the city should be pro-
foundry grateful Magazines and newspapers are
filled with articles telling OF the influences abroad
that are SO weakening and rotting the moral fiber
of the country that the outlook for the future is
far from hosy. It seems that Fatrmont in regard
to civic and community interests Alone cannot be
too grateful for service that would assist in an
choring dozens of young girls to steadfastness and
sincerity Of purpose that will carry moral upright
ness onward into the fast approaching years when
such lives are going to be the safe guard of their
generation.
The pastors conducting the services are right
in making their strongest appeal to the young
people. 1t means much to the city that the next
two weeks will see this activity intensified and
strengthened Every mother and father should
be back of the services, and spare effort to in
terest their children in this effort. A little en-
conragement now may save tears and heart break
in the future.

SMILE WEEK J

HIS is Smile Week. Tairmont does not espe.
cially need such a reminder The city has
had womanless Wedding that spread the public
mouth from ear to ear, and the grin persists with
the announcement that the Elks will soon put on
their customary minstrels which are always as good
as any thing that can be found on the boards any
where. tsI
Smile Week, however, Is not meant to merely
sport the smile which comes from amusement. The
smile which the public is admonished to wear now
is the smile that comes from a sense Of well-belng
within. The smile Of happiness. It is little
harder to dig up than the other kind and 1t Is
different all around.
What about having real genuine smile day to-
morrow? Sit down this evening and think about
the number Of things which the average person
has to smile about Position. wealth, preference,
have nothing to do with real happiness. The man
who is we'll, whose body is sound, who is warm
has enough to eat, whose family are we'll and
comfortable. The man who is square, and free
from vicious habits has all the essentials for happ
ness and for the smile that fingers in the eyes as
we'll as upon the lips
II each Fairmonter. who has allowed his smile
to become somehow, sort Of furnished by forgettul
ness or fretfulness, ingratitude, will take IT out
and dust 1t off and pin 1t on tomorrow the weather
man will not have to get out the sun for once since
nobody will notice its absence

L1NcoIS's BIRTHDAY.

F-I@ Ii 4. T .
he Birthday anniversary OF Lincoln comes
again tomorrow, and his countrymen will
pause for q time to pay tribute to his memory and
TO dwell upon the events of his life
The world has come great way since Lincoln
bowed his Gethsemane as president of the United
States. but theSword today is more nearly in ac.
cord with the hopes and the ideals of the great
man than ever before He was in spite of the cruel
atmosphere war with which he was surrounded,
first and foremost man of peace. No person look.
ing pictured countenance could find there
in single indication of combativeness aggression,
or ARROGANCE. There is firmness there kindliness,
and great Overwhelming expression Of endless
patience: Asresigned patience that seems to speak
OF personality longing endlessly for an ambition
never 10 be attained.
The United States has gone through two wars
since the death Of Lincoln, the last OF which was
che greatest OF history, but neither engagement
brought half the bitterness and the actual suffer.
ing to this nation that civil war offered,
where the stroke was directed at the heart of the
country. Through this horror, Lincoln, peacelov-
ing, gentle. had to live Surrounded by hatred,
bitterness antagonism, aud bowed by a weight OF
responsibility that other president OF the United
States has had to bear, he lived through to his
tnartyrdom, mistaken and firm as a rock though
every hour was spent in an atmosphere utterly
foreign to the nature of the man. and repugnant
toitheiast degree.
His sorrow was never tempered with the fierce
anger that many of the north felt his sadness was
never erased by the victory achieved at the end.
Lincoln borehis load Of warfare and his RESPONSE
bflties but through. it all, his one wish was for
peace his one ambition, Cancellation.
In the Washington Conference SO recently
closed had Lincoln been living, and president
arain he would have found nrofound hanninaos a.
the initial step toward goal that gave no sign of
talfillment in his own day. II he could have wit
messed this dawn, would his pictured face have
betrayed,the same expression which we behold upon
q today? Perhaps the lines there would be
snoothered away and the resignation given place
to hope.
The Esprit Of Lincoln, his great soul, would find
ms country more nearly In accord with his desires
atpresent, than he found 1t in his own time, but
Who say that his spirit does not know and re-
ioiee even as it is.
