IL-.I- ..EItW NEW AND IMPROVED SERVICE The Mobile & Ohio Railroad Are E Again to the Front in an Effort I to Improve Their xcellent Service i Through Service between St. Louis and Havana. I On January 5th, 190(i, the Mobile & a Ohio Railroad and the :Munson S .S. tl Line will establish through service be- " tween St. Louis and Havana, Cuba. l1 A fast train de luxe (and it will be t' de luxe in every sense of the word) h will leave St. Louis at 9:40 p. m. ev- T ery Friday over the Mobile & Ohio t' Railroad, and will reach the steam ship docks at Mobile at :1.00 p. m. Sat- o urday. This train will be called the 1 I Havana Limited. The nineteen-knot s, i S. S. "Prince George" will be at the ti p docks awaiting the arrival of the Ha- ti vana Limited, and after the custom officers have performed their necessary functions. the "Prince George'" willI h sail at 4.00 p. m. and run into the har-I ) bor of Havana as the sun rises on the s ' following Monday morning. s The Havana Limited will be a solid Pullman train composed of the finest equipment yet built. The make-up of c the train will consist of a composite a baggage, buffet, club, smoking and t library car: dining car: and drawing room, 'compartment and observation sleeping cars. In the club car will he C a barber shop and bath room, with barber and valet, and in the observa tion and drawing room cars there will he a lady's maid in attendance. i The Havana Limited will make the t run from St. Louis to Mobile in seven teen hours. This, added to the sched ule of the S. S. "Prince George." draws Havana within fifty-three hours of St. Louis, and makes possible a trip which will be one of such ease and pleasure as never to be forgotten. The modern S. S. "Prince George" is constructed on the lines of the fam ous Cunard Line ocean greyhounds "(Camnpalia" and "Lucania" and is fitted with eleven-inch bilge keels to J keep her steady and easy in all weather conditions. She maintains a speed of nineteen knots an hour. is lighted by electricity and ventilated by an electric exhaust fan system. tf The "Prince George'" has broad sheltered promenade decks which ex tend fore and aft the entire length of the ship, and which are liberally sup plied with reclining steamer chairs 'h for the free use of passengers. The ay "Prince George" has accomodations nt for two hundred first cabin passengers and ample quarters for sixty of the in to termediate class. - The Mobile and Ohio Railroad to a- Cuba is perhaps the finestwinter tour x ist line for St. Louisians and for those ne who live in the States immnediately ly north, west, and east thereof. The route immediately strikes south, and is. with every passing moment of the journey better and better weather con ditions obtain. The route also em ar. braces a sail in tropical waters of " over thirty hours, away from noise * and dust and dirt. * The accomodations of the HFavana * limited and theS. S. "Prince George" Swill be strictly "limited" in chltrac Ster, the idea being to provide a win * tertourist service superior to any * thing which is offereld in any directicon Sduring the winter tourist season.

Merite at the ('h Tniird Annual Session of the (Gulf to C(onference ofthe Methodist Episco. no pal ('hurclh Thursday Eveuing, ou Grand and impressive and beyond un all. ever recorded in history, will be yo that glorious. transcendant chapter ha which unfolds in plain but positive I v language, the birth and march to vic- tio tory, of the church founded by that his hero of the l1th century: John Wesley. thf That man of God, daring to proclaim to the astonished world, the old story: "Ye must be born again." No power of mental conception or of historic g portrayal inferior to the l)ivine, can e set forth the resplendant advances and C triumphs of the church founded by this, God's nobleman. A church is represented by you that like the mustard tree of the parable, I has grown into a mighty tree. its - pranches extending from north to i)i south, from orient to oxident. Never; he since the reformation has the world tht been permitted to witness so superlat. int t ive an illustration of the capacity of to one consecrated man, if he be lilled with a holy zeal born of God: and never wl: before, in the history of the world, has so the church in her unsurpressed enthusi- of asm and unfettered spirituality, been , confirmed by achievements moresulen- in did and endearing. ca Contemplating with the briefest sur- ha 1 vey the phenominal success of Method- wi ism, it can scarcely be realized today, e that even after a few decades had to lapsed since the coming of the new in sect, that there were prophets of evil fr ' omen across the waters, the slaves and of · devotees of priesteraft and enemies of se a religious liberty, who predicted that d Methodism was but the 'will o' the whisu' of a fanatic, the imagery of a " diseased mind, which a few rough . storms would dissipate: yea, that · Methodism like Jonah's gourd, 'grown C · up over nieht, would perish in a day.' o But the spirit of the Master was II moving upon the waters of unbelief: and he who promised to feed the ra s vins at the brook. honoured his word and in spite of ridicule p and hostility by the press, and of d the apocalyptic, luke warm Christians. ce . The church you brethren represent MI f stands today at the very van and n challenges the tribunal of the world s in the majesty of the eternal princi , les of Methodism, embodied in her s declaration, "Ye must be born again"I s Acknowledging the mighty redemptive u - power of the past. I must be just and J admiringly I exclaim: Methodism has o done much to make the world better, and it has been used by the Intinite to se bring man nearer to God, and Heaven v nearer to earth. All hail to the here e after and without the slighest pang ed of jealously, I pray that Jehovah he speed your onward march until all n- the world shall take up the refrain "- 'Peace on earth, Good will to men.' of And as I hid you welcome in behalf e of the Christian forces of this town and surrounding country: much has Sbeen accomplishPd through your un ,, tiring labors of love, but imuch latd Sis yet to be possessed before the return . of our Lord to earth. You are or . dained by the Master to oppose sin, in which is not peculiar to any age or nation, but abounds everywerwhre: and our beautiful land, the greatest coun try underthe sun has many social ur evils which must be put away: but .'s thanks to God our laud has not fallen n as low as Israel of old There is still at virtue in American homes, and while d: society has its corrupt and (lelilin, e- fashions and its tinkling frivolties, . its festering vices, yet American Min de istry is undefiled. Our spiritual iend !e, ers, as a rule are pure and undeil'd en and anxious to lead the nation out of spiritual bondage into the purel and le-. holy atmosphere of righteousness, 'd which we are taught, shall exalt the w nation. ne We rejoice today with you in the mighty achievements accomplished Iby a- the members of your conference i:n to this beautiful south land. We thank le. God for the emblem of your you:ng people "Look up,lift up." We thank ad God fIr the mighty sword of the snir an it wielded by your members to shape r- the destiny of the unconverted and d, your success in soul winning. Yea' r- again I say, Welsh, the beautiful, I or prosperous little town, center and I hub of the oil and rice belt of tie gulf coast bids you welcome; Her doors are thrown open to you and a hearty God bless you, rests upon the llives of its good people. And in be Shalf of the churches I shall add that we desire nothing more than that the Great Spirit shall overshadow you in ut your deliberations, and at the close el- of your confe~rence, the blessing of me Jehovah may fall also upon us, and sts we may reap a spiritual barvest from your sojourn among us. Is it then Ssurprisiang that we rejoi~e in your fel- i lowships, when we remeomberthat your church is a branch of the body of ('hrist, set apart by the Lord himself I to inspire men with better, ho)lietr and nobler thoughts, and to) lift tlh worldo out of self into the bricht halo of ua uni versal b rothetrhood: and ceinnuiti you and your deliherwations into the hands of the (treat Shcj herd abo v .
