Peace!1 Like the rosy radiance of a resplendent dawn, Its glory spread over the earth as the day was born, driving away the brooding gloom of blood, and pain, and sorrow and strife, even as the forces of darkness flee before the burning chariot of God I Peace! To the nations sore beset, - whose blood has been drawn until It has left them whitewho stand at the graveside of their best-loved sons, mourning but undaunted, stricken but undismayed clinging to their Ideals of right, and liberty, and hu manlty suffering but smiling still I Peace! To the mighty land, which for love of Justice, and for the per petuation of democracy, and for the freedom of the world, threw herself Into the fray, and across the path of the Insolent march of arrogant autoc racy stretched the flaming sword in scribed, "Thou Shalt Not!" Peace! Like a benediction, to the anxious hearts in thousands of homes, In crowded city, and lonely prairie, and far-off mountain side, where the service flag flutters, as a symbol that - somewhere a loved one has been fighting or suffering, or working for the great Causesome one who will come back and bring light to the home and life to the heart again! Peace! To those other homes where the blue star has Jurned to gold; where they know when the boys come proudly marching back, HE will De missed from the ranks! Aye. peace, and pride, and exaltation of spirit, because that his life was not "lost," but given as a priceless heri ' tage to humanity exultation, too, be cause that the sacrifice was not made In vainl Peace! To those above whom the popples blow in Flanders field. No Knights of old, in quest of Holy Grail, or breaking lance against heartless oppressor, ever fought more bravely or died more nobly! The world will not forget them while popples blow In, Flanders field! Peace! To all the nations of the earth, from over which the shadows of a great menace has been lifted for ever! Peace, that will be lasting peace that will lift the yoke from mil ' Hons, and give them the first glimpse of the glories of liberty and equality and self-government Peace, that will unify the nations; that will break down the barriers of sectionalism, and sectarianism, and race prejudice, and the rule of caste, and bring to all the peoples of the earth the Joys of brotherhood, and the rule of right! Peace Peace on earth, good will to men! heard Gypsy "Smith yesterday, And the utterances of this big man op ened the eyes of many to a broader vision of tolerance, humanity and true, broad Christianity. o The Evening Telegram once made the statement that whenever a morn ing paper was needed in Lakeland it would be here to furnish it. This morning was the first time Lakeland nas ever needed a morning paper, and the Evening Telegram was right on the Job, giving the great news of peace in a succinct and intelliclblo manner long before any other agency. It Is the first time the Evening Tele gram has been issued as a mornim? paper, and it now retires from the morning field until another exigency shall arise that will Justify its cover ing it again. It mortally offended certain people because we once said that "when Lakeland needed a mom ing paper we will be here to furnish it. ' but in this as in all other thines we have promised or undertaken, the people will hear us out that we have made good.

A crowd estimated at 4,000 persons this is. in our opinion, a conserva tive estimate listened with spell bound attention for an hour and a quarter yesterday morning to a most inspiring and eloquent address by Gypsy Smith, the renowned evange list and Y. M. C. A. worker. Mr. Smith was brought over fron. Plant City by Editor Wayne Thomai of the Plant City Courier, accom panied by Lieut Sprlgg, an Australian Y. M. C. A. worker of note, anc1 Rev. R. P. Hodnett, pastor of the Plant City Methodist church. These gentlemen came as a committee to es cort Mr. Smith back to Plant City where he spoke at 12 o'clock for 45 minutes, leaving on the Seaboard for the North at 1:40 p. m. Shortly after ten o'clock the ex ercises, which were held from thp band stand In the Park, singing the first two stanzas of "America," anrt the invocation was delivered by Rev. R. F. Hodnett. The speaker of the day was then introduced by Mr. M. F. Hetherlngton. who presided at the meeting- Many persons have expressed the opinion that it was the best aJdress ever heard in Lakeland. Certain it is that we have heard no speaker who bad his audience more thoroughly with him than did Mr. Smith, and he played on the hearts of his audi, tors as on a harp, touching alternate ly, with master hand, the chords of humor and pathos. Particularly in recounting his personal experiences in ministering to the boys dying with a smile on their lips, rejoicing to make the sacrifice for the great cause for which they died, there were. ; few in the throng whose eyes did not glisten with irrepressible tears. The address was a wonderful ap peal to the crenernna nntiirno nf tko - WU VJ t UC people to give and give freely to the boys who are giving so much. He told of the terrific toll of life that had been taken from England and France, compared with which our casualty list is as nothing; of the devastation that has been wroueht over there while we have remained untouched, because of the human bul wark that has been Interposed in our defense by the brave men for whom we are now called upon to e've a trifle that some small comforts mav oe brought to them. The speaker emphasized the united character of the present War Work campaign, explaining the plan adopt ed at the request of the Pres'dent and he paid his respects in no un mlstakable terms to those narrow per sons who would withhold their sup- ANTED To buy four 1-year-old 1 . . . . . lancuiug nogs, aeuvered to Lake land.
