George Courthouse, has ft short poem ln
tho June Smart Set, entitled "Loss." The
first verso of It runs IhUS!
"My life and I have grown so strangely
tiredl
We falter, now, beforo a little thing;
While other days, the gi-cater task would

With It the greater strength that It re?
quired.
The dreams that thrilled of old, the hopes
that fired,
Are turned to n.-?he?i, fading, darkening;
And ihe old songs that we wero wont to
slnfi
Gone With the old desires that we de?
sired."

STATE BOARD OE TRADE
Mr. L. Z. Morris Says Body Should
Push "Virginia Building" Scheme.
Ono of the most progressive and
thoughtful men in tho city is Mr. L. Z,
Morris, formerly president of tho Rich?
mond Chamber ot Commerce. Ho tyns
asked yesterday what ho thought of the
Idea of Virginia's having a building at
the St. Lotils Exposition and the repro?
duction of Montlcello, all to bo paid for
by public subscription. He said first that
ho hnd not yet given tho matter much
thought, but so fur as ho had pursued It,
It was Just the thing to do.
The now State business organization
ought to take the matter up and push It.
This is one which the entlro State Is In?
terested In, he declared, and It would be
most appropriate for the Slate body to
endorse It. It would not do for the Rich?
mond Chamber to take tho load In push?
ing It, ho thought, since somo might say
It was a Richmond fad rather than ?
State project.
This Is the first suggestion, so far as
known, ot specilla/ work for the organi?
zation recently effected ln Richmond, and
In which nearly every largo city In the
Stato has representatives.

THE ADVOCATE
CONDEMNS A HYMN
Says It Is Abhorrent?Much
Used by the Revi?
valists.
The leading editorial In the Christian
Advocate of this week, discusses the sub?
ject, "Is There a Dead Line?" and Inci?
dentally gives strong condemnation to
a familiar hymn much employed by revi?
valists. The hymn begins thus:
"There Is a, time we know not when,
A placo we know not where;
Which works the destiny of men,
To glory or despair."
In discussing this hymn tho Advocate
says In part: Wo have novry heard of this
hymn, read, sung, or quoted, without
a feeling of mingled horror and repul?
sion. The Idea that a man may be "doom?
ed" before he dies, thnt thero la a line
Ibis sido of the terminus of Ufo. which
seals hla destiny,' for ante?,nal future
Is so abhorent to every human and Chris?
tian sentiment and so totally Inconsistent
wllh tho teachings of scripture, that to
us It Is exceedingly offensive. We know
that It Ik often made use of by revivalists
to awaken und alurm the Impenitent, but
we doubt whother the effect Is ever other
thuu repellent, and hardening.
There
is One
of superiority in the anotmcemonts of tlio sloro?tlioy emanato
from the values themselvos, and not from tho Wain of adver?
tising genius. That is Avhy peoplo read our advertisements
and respond to thorn, knoAving tho offorings aro always sub?
stantiated by tho qualities and worths claimed for them, and
no glittering promises aro mado Avliich could not meet with
fulfillment. Experience has proven to the completo satisfaction
of tliis community that tho best results in wearing upparol
concerning quality, dependability and cheapness, tho Burk
Stores stand alone.
