the following question was put:

One answer was as follows:

PASTOR OF THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH RELATES MATTERS OF
INTEREST RELATIVE TO THE
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVEN
TION. ' -
At the ' First Baptist church Wed
nesday night Rev. Eugene R, Pendle
ton, the pastor. In telling of the South
ern . Baptist Convention In Jackson
ville, said:
I return feeling personally that we
have the pick of Florida. The breezes
blow freer, and the mosquito flour
lsheth less In Pensacola, than else
where. In Jacksonville last 'Week were two
large conventions of more than two
thousand people each from many
states. When we arrived, we found
elaborate preparations had been made
for both, bunting was displayed on
the streets, places were designated by
flowing canvas signs, and cars were
especially marked for the convenience
of the delegates. For one of these
conventions illuminated words 'Wel
come" flared out over barroom, pool
room, and places of questionable char
acter and entertainment. Men In these
lines of business offered pleasure, de
bauchery, sin to their visitors, and ex
pected to fatten on the gain thus ex
tracted from unwary pockets. On the
other hand, arrangements for the other
convention were of a different charac
ter. The best homes opened to it.
The hall in which It met was lined
with offers of righteousness and the
Water of Life. The churches bore
electric signs: "God Is love" and
"Welcome." One ideal meant a good
time, filled the resorts with people,
enriched the railroads and hotels on
Sunday at the seaside. The other
filled the churches, engaged In wor
ship and praise. One sought to get
what it could out of the town, the
other sought to give what It could.
Which think you was the force for
best citizenship?
The Southern Baptist Convention's
attitude towards civic matters came
up for full discussion under three
particular divisions, namely. First,
the convention went on record strongly
as In favor of law and order, as
against mob violence. The recent
lynching at Lake City is abhorrent to
Baptist ideas of government. It is
sickening to the Baptist conscience.
Also, it stands for the enforcement of
law all law, law protecting human
life, law protecting human property,
law protecting human happiness. It
can do no other. But, secondly, the
convention went on record as favoring
better laws, Improved legislation, mak
ing the south a better place to live in.
Having secured righteous emancipa
tion from the Louisiana lottery, and
more recently from race track gam
bling (In Florida) It would press on
against the next great evil, the open
barroom. Baptists feel that this great
menace to the forces of law and citi
zenship is doomed, its days are num
bered, but that it is high time for
good citizenship to rise out of sleep
and push the battle. Baptists feel
that these plague-spots are respon
sible for much of crime in our country,
and that the removal of the curse will
curb crime. The recent deliverance
on thin subject Is one of the most
statesmanlike we have yet had and
looks forward to federal aid in this
reform.
Better Sunday Observance.
The third Item of profound Interest
to us at this time is a better Sunday
observance.- Baptists have never been
sticklers for anything like a Puritanic
Sabbath, with "blue laws", but they
do feel that when, as in Florida, there
is an open Sunday, it is time to call
a halt, and see where we are. In our
cities there is no moderation in public
amusement. In Jacksonville, the vilest
shows exhibit Sunday, the stands are
all open to sell, and little difference is
seen in the days of the week. And In
the wake of this open Sunday are
other things beyond. You give an
inch and an eel is demanded, and now
there is a movement for Sunday base
ball. A story told by a man from the
west may be applied to this subject.
A certain very bald speaker was well
under way, when a fly lit on his
crown. He ignored it completely, and
went on. Presently a mosquito lit by
the fly and went into business. The
speaker went on without noticing
either. Directly a yellow Jacket alight
ed on the bald place and began busi
ness. He reached up with the re
mark ."Now all of you have got to
get off!" We have endured the Insult
to good taste and Christian feeling in
order to be broad and charitable, and
give a most liberal Interpretation to
American spirit of Independence until
we feel the time has come to have a
general cleaning up, and that all forces
for righteousness must begin with
such home matters. .
There has been much buncombe
tamely submitted to by peace-loving
citizens out of regard for a false view
of personal liberty. We are awaken
ing to see that the state, the home,
the church, the coming youth have
some rights as well as the barkeeper
and the bum. On deck a boat on the
river at Jacksonville one evening some
well dressed, refined ladies occupied
chairs on the lower deck for a pleas
ure trip. During the ride a tobacco
chewer on the upper deck let go and
spattered two of these ladies until
they had to go to the wash room to
clean, up. One of these ladies was
my wife. How would you have felt
about personal liberty If it had been
your wife? Some of the largest cities
do not any longer allow Sunday the
atres. It has been found good gov
ernment to protect the churches and
the home in a proper Sabbath ob
servance. It is said that it is pro
vinclal and narrow not ao allow Sun
day baseball, but who says it? In

HI
--
Boston, you cannot expectorate on the
streets. A countryman once tried it,
and was arrested, and five dollars was
demanded. It was a new law and he
tried to argue out of it but seeing
he had to pay, pulled out a ten dollar
bill reluctantly and offered It. The
policeman could, not make change, and
after trying to settle it a while, finally
the countryman said: "Oh, just keep
the change; I'll want to spit again af
ter a while."
Limits to Rights.
There are limits to right. In some
places it has been decided that no one
has a right to keep a pig, cow or horse
where other people live. In others
there are no chickens, dogs, or . cats
allowed. This is as It should be.
Why should the lives of people who
have to live in the city be endangered
and made miserable by nuisances to
indulge wicked, selfish and inconsid
erate people who move into It? The
cities are said to be the problem of
the nation. Perhaps so. As the coun
try sends thousand of boys and girls
to the city every year, the city comes
near being the key to the city.
The effect of these moral Issues on
property values and on business Is
greater than one would Imagine. What
think you property was worth in
Sodom? Rome was once the magnet
for the youth of all lands, and Rome
fell. Have you heard of a building
boom in Rome in two thousand years?
I wish you could see a recent letter
from a man in another state written
back about property in a certain Flor
ida city where he had gone with the
object of investing in property. What
he saw there not only made him re
turn without Investing, but made him
sick at heart, and he said in a letter
back to a friend: "I want no prop
erty in a place where one1-could not
afford to rear his children. I fear the
fate of Sodom for Buch a city, and
would be afraid to live in it." .
Knowing these things. Baptists are
set to persuade men, and join forces
with all the armies of righteousness
for a cleaner nation, a better govern
ment, and In the long run a much
happier people.

There ,1s little doubt but that the

very popular from the start. The
actors at the Orpheum are all greatly
Interested in the trip. For them it
will be more of a day of outing than

forth their very best efforts at the
free vaudeville entertainment in the
afternoon, but at the same time, the
novelty of holding a vaudeville show
In the cool, comfortable pavilion will
be a sufficient inducement for them
to do their hardest work to please
the many people who will go for the
day or half day's outing. Taking these
things Into consideration those who

noon will see the performers at their

A professor of the University of
Pennsylvania, who has greatly en
deared himself to the students on ac
count of his kind-heartedness, has one
particular failing that of absent
mindedness, the Philadelphia Times
relates.
He visited his married nephew a few
days ago and had listened to the
young wife's praise of her first born.
The gentleman felt that he must say
something to give the impression that
he was interested.
Can the dear little fellow walk? he
inquired quietly.
' Walk?" the mother shouted. "Why
he has been walking for five months: "
"Dear me," the professor exclaimed,
lapsing again into abstraction, "what
a long way he must have got."
She Asked It for Dad's Sake.
The young man was leaning on the
garden gate chatting with the object
of his affections, says Ideas, when the
latter said hesitatingly: "I am going
to ask a great favor of you."
"It's already granted, he answered
devotedly.
"A very great favor. she repeated,
