WHERE ART THOU?'
is SERMON SUBJECT
PASTOR TO PREACH SERMON
ON GODS FIRST QUESTION
AFTER FALL. OF MAN

Pastor Yancy Tillman Shehane
announced to his congregation
last Sunday night in the First
Baptist church, that this coming
Sunday night, he would preach a
sermon on "The First Question
God Ever Asked Man, After the
FALL"
This question will carry the con-
gregation, in thinking, back to the
Garden of Eden, when, where and
how Eve committed, and led Adam
to commit, the First Great Act of
Sin, which act brought about the
Fall of Man, and made them con-
scious of Sin for the first time in
their lives, explains Pastor She
hane.
"Since that time," he con-
tinues, "many have done the evils
oe Adam and Eve, and they have
all wanted to hide in the bushes
with their SIM"
Rev. Shehane urges all his men,
bers to attend this service, and he
extends most cordial invitation
to all friends, visitors and strang-
ers.

than all other Florida cities COM
bined, and exceeded those of last
year by more than 100000. This

When the average barber shouts
this historic call any old dude, any
Tom, Dick, or Harry, is liable to jump
into the tonsorial chair; but when
Bert Braden yells next statesman
usually answers the summons.
Bert Braden, 50 years in the busi-
ness. is the barber In the House side
of the Capitol Building.
! Born in Elmira. N Y, Bert Braden
| learned the barbering business in
Penn Yam, same State, exactly 50
years ago and came here to practice
his profession in 1887-two years later.
Il worked in the old National Ho-
TEL" Mr.. Braden said today, land
shaved about every celebrity that
walked the Avenue"
| Among those he shaved, in those
days, were such people as the late
Chief Justice White who was then
young Congressman from Louisiana,
Uncle Joe Cannon. just growing a
beard. Senator Gibson Of Vermont,
who had come to town from the Green
Mountains, Ed Halsey, now secretary
to the Senate, the late Senator Daniels
of Virginia, Ed Halsey's uncle, White
law Reid, John Jacob Astor, who came
to Washington on political matters,
and most of the members of the old
Canvasback Club who met every
month at Harvey's Restaurant. In
! that number were such men as "Marse
| Henry" Watterson, Nash. the car
toonist, and William Mckinley, then
Representative and later President
Of the United States.
Just before the banquet, which con-
sisted OF oysters in rough and ready
style, terrapin la Maryland and
canvasback duck, the piece de resist
snce, most Of these club members went
over to the National Hotel and got
shaved by Bert Braden.
Now approaching his SEVENTEEN
year-he was born April 4. 1863
Bert Braden confesses that his men,
ory Is not as good as it used to be, but
he remembers shaving most Of the
old Senators and many members OF
the House of Representatives.
Also" he says, Il have shaved
many of the world celebrities who vis-
tied Washington, in the old days, when
few men shaved themselves-before
the Invention of the safety razor"
The safety razor played havoc with
the barbering industry, according to
| this authority. He has welded a razor
for So active years Of his life, or since
he was boy Of l8 years.
Man and boy" he says, II have
shaved the great and the near-great of
the Nation. When I began, men made
it practice to frequent the barber
shop for their morning ablutions.
Those were the days of the OLD shaving
mugs-stacked on shelves in the bar
ber shop. Each man had his name on
his mug-in large gold letters, of old
English type. That was before such
sanitary regulations as we have now.
