prayer meetings and in the evening
services. The whole town was
stirred as never before, and the
church is moving on. We wish es-
pecially to make mention of the
closing session, when by her con-
vincing argument and strong ap-
peal, three strong men, U. S. sol
diers, and one noble woman, stood
up and with feeling, confessed
Christ. Two desired membership in
st. James and two went to the Holi-
ness church.
Final results of the meeting were.
nine conversions, ten added to mem
bership of st. James; a warm place
in the hearts of the people for the
Evangelist and a better spirit of
cooperation among our group.
Several valuable tokens of ap-
probation were presented Sister
Duncan by the women and men of
the community, and for which she
evidenced joy and gladness. She
also was well pleased with the free
will offering taken for her Sister
Duncan proposed fund, and donat-
ed liberal portion of her receipts
thereto, and placed in the parsonage
fine ice box, all paid for. A bless
ing and lasting good has she been
to our city. st. James A. M. E.
church heartily endorses Sister Dun
can and her work, and recommends
her to the favorable consideration
of pastors of whatever denomina-
tion, who want a vc- ?csoulstirring
vivalist. Our pastor, Rev. Thornton,
is all smiles over the success of the
meeting.

LAS cIRcUNsTANcIAs

Es un hecho que La profession de
humorista les-f fu6 impuesta a Mark
Twain por las circunstancias, que
50 verdadera vocaci6n estaba en- la
satira. Swift y Rabelais combinan
sus humores en- ell satirico yanqui.
81 ser tornado por un gracioso, por
I'm bufon de sociedad, fue cosa que
siempre lastim6 su orgullo. Por otra
rarte, bien que su espiritu Sc incli-
nara con predilecci6n la soledad
rleditativa, su rica naturaleza bus
caba la sociedad a la veZ como un
desahogo y un estfmulo de su inge-
MO. Era un gran dem6crata, como
que Sc habia levantado de la obscu-
ridad de la pobreza aldeana, pero
en- este misrno veia su prerrogativa
a participar EN- los mas altos bene
fic1os de la civilizaci6n. Conociendo
por experiencia que el medic en- que
Sc complace el ''aurea mediocritas'
no es, como comtnmente Sc cree el
mas propicio la expansion de una
persoralidad, busc6 instintivamente
aQuellos altos circulos de la sociedad
de su tempo donde sus gustos y sus
maneras podian sentirse mas a sus
anol,as.
Pero la sociedad, en- sus mas for
males instituciones, jam&s pudo sa-
tisfacerlo. Hacia el fin de su vida
"a misantropia le hubiese abrumado
del todo, tras tantas desgracias de
familia, sin 10 robusto de su natu-
raleza y su enorme capacidad de
trabajo. FL lector corriette hispa-
no-americano, al que solo le iayan
llegado los ecos de las historias CO.
micas de Mark Twain Y de sus chis-
tes de sobremesa, no tiene idea de
la enorme profusi6n y variedad de
su obra Hteralia. Comienza Gil ca
rrera con hbros de viaje, y durante
cuarenta afios Sc prodiga en- obras
de imagination y de estudio combi-
con la novela historical O.
con la biograffa, ell en-
sayo filos6fico y hasta la mfstica.

DESPRENDIMIENTOs

Pero no eS ESQ solamente. Los II
deres socialistas sostienen que ellos
actualmente, Y de aeuerdo con cal
culos prudentes, cuentan en- Puer
to Rico con 112 mil electoreS. (?)
7 esperan que con la fusion reel
ban ellos ciertos desprendinientos
de las filas aliancistas, que vinie-
sen aumentar sus fuerzas.
Todas estas razones parece que
Ilevan a los socialistas a sustentar
la creencia de que ellos podrfan en-
cualquier momento dominar La situa
ci0n.
Pero los observadores polfticos
aseguran que 81 los socialistas no
llegan un entendido con la mayo
ria, Sc encontraran aislados y seran
muy pocas, casi ningunas, las posi-
bilidades de triunfo. IQuienes es-
tan en- 10 cierto?
Hay algo que preocupa a los II
dereS socialistas,, y clio es la clase
Intellectual. Parece que los lfderes
de. dicha colectividad polftica tienen
miedo de alojar en- sus filas al ele
mento Intellectual. y sustentan ell
tenor de que no sea possible soste-
ner con esos soldados la misma Co
hesi6n que con los obreros. Use re-
solveran en- definitiva no aceptar
esos ingresos?
