HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP.
When a patient has been suffering:
intense pa,in and the face grows, hag
gard and the nerves begin to twitch,
you will hear the doctor say, “I’ll give
her an anodyne, and as soon as she
can sleep she will be better.”
The anodyne that provokes sleep
brings to hand nature’s greatest re
storer. Unless sleep can come, the
brain gives way. The fretful babe
will continue to be fretful until it
yields to sleep. The tired youth
would so be an incapable one
nature did not give refreshing sleep.
The man of toil may, under strenuous
conditions, keep awake for continuous
hours, but his vital forces would dis
sipate unless a sleep tonic could in
tervene and restore the. equilibrium.
And yet we go to bed every night
without recollecting how much dy
pends upon this common and simple
act of sleeping. We know when we
understand that our existence is
closely related to - this every day ex
perience. When we prepare for the
night’s rest we should make personal
mention in asking God’s blessing on
the sleep question, for it is the great
est of our every day blessings, no
matter how we appreciate the food
we eat, the water we drink and the
wherewithal that we shall be clothed.
To prove it we need only to say that
we should soon need none of them
If we had to remain continually
awake to enjoy them.
Sometimes I am unfortunate
enough to endure sleepless hours in
the night time. As I lie on my rest
less bed I think of the countless
thousands who can fall asleep with
out apparent effort and who never give
a single thought to the valued priv-
lege. This blessed sleep will rest
vour weary mind as well as your
wearied body. I once heard a t>e
loved minister say, “I bless God that
I can easily go to sleep when my
soul has been racked by anxiety and
the way looks dark and I can see no
light 4 My helplessness seems to
bring me the sleep, the sort that
soothes and rests my weary soul.
Truly. God giveth His beloved sleep.”
fatuated with the theater that he
actually lost his place in a good bank
because his late hours demanded
stimulant, and he thus fell into evu
ways, one dissipation demanding an
other, and he was ruined.
The stories that a good many moa-
em magazines publish are very nasty;
they are dramatized and then the be
sotted theatergoer drinks it in night
after night, like a toper takes his
toddy. Friends and fellow citizens—
Are you sure you have made any
gain Or progress by forsaking the ola
ways?
THE STAGE THEATER GOING.
When I was a young girl I expected
to hear from the pulpit continuous de
nunciations of stage life—theater go
ing—along with the dangers of the
dance hall and the perils of the gaming
table. And I surely needed them!
Not only was the theater denounce^
as a covert hiding place for general
unrighteousness, but it was considered
as a place of temptation to pure minas,
and the church member would cer
tainly be disciplined who made a habit
of attendance in the olden time. I
have known of a few preachers in that
early time who endeavored to elaborate
a distinction or difference in certain
players and play houses, but they won
no encomiums from the gray-headea
elders on the amen benched.
I do not hesitate to say that no
church member of good standing in
Georgia fifty or sixty years ago would
have dared\ to attend theaters. He
could not serve God and go to play
houses, according to tne rules of
Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian
churches at that period of our history.
The Question that I now ask myself
is this: Were these strenuous observers
of the rules of these orthodox churches
too far gone in the errors of dogmatic
theology so as to trespass on the In
dividual right of choice in amusements,
o r (shall I dare to say it?) has the
church gone over to the enemy?
You hear very little said about the
theater in this day and time. It is the
habit of-city church members to.fre
quent the theater fully as often as they
go to church services, pernaps oftener.
The modern play house has as many
or more seductive ^scenes than the
early-day theaters. Sometimes the
whole thing gets so raw that the
authorities interfere; but the police re
striction seems to wake up vigorous
advocates, and the advertisement seems
to draw bigger crowds. A broken
hearted mother once confided her grief
to me. She said her son became so in-
TH$ SCABS THAT SINS MAKE.
King David was a great man. He
had the making of a great man In
him whe n he searched for the smooth
stones In the brook and later went out
to meet blasphemous Goliah, who de
fied the living God. He was strong in
faith, and the Lord was with mm.
But David had his weak spots. Anti
his weak spots betrayed his otherwise
good character. He was all right when
Samuel anointed the ruddy youth,
fresh from his father’s fields, but he
was all wrong when he allowed lust to
consume him, and when he placed
Uriah in front of the battle to receive
his death.
His sin found him out and afflicted
him with deep remorse, for when the
prophet Nathan told him what a sorry
man he had developed into his humilia
tion was Indeed sore, and his regret
never abated until his dying day.
His hitherto clean life took on an
indelible stain. It was a dye that
would not fade out and could not be
washed out. His scars were burnt into
his soul until his mental part was
seared as if with a red-hot Iron. He
could never again be the once clean-
minded, upright David who had stood
erect before God and the Hebrew na
tion as a man who loved his fellow
man and who disdained to do wrong
things. He fell into sin—an uncalled-
fo r sin—and then committed virtual
murder to cloak his first
sion.
The sewing of “wild oats” Is a dread
ful thing. It may not be a seed drill
filled with lust that the young man
uses, although there is generally a
woman in it. Be it whatever It may,
it sears and scars. It ourns and coi-
rodes. It destroys the bloom and de
forms the fruit. The human body
should be respected as a tertipie where
God’s spirit can come in and dwell.
When the owner of the body debases
the body and defiles it with lust oi
with other crimes that destroy Dom
mind and body, the scars will remain.
Oh, young man, when you cannot re
spect your own poor self, when you
have allowed devils to come in and eat
out your uprightness, you # have not
only blackened, but you have bur
dened your immortality to your dying
day. Poor David cried, “O God, create
In me a clean heart, and renew a right
spirit within me.” After the vase was
broken into shattered fragments he
realized its beauty.
T is noticeable and it is creditable
to them that certain of the
Bishops of the Roman Catholic
I Church have delivered themselves
very strongly against certain popu
lar dances and against a prevalent
style of female attire which
scarcely comports with the modesty
which befits a lady.
S'ome weeks ag(\. Bishop Thomas
S. Byrne of Tennes.see said with ref
erence to the dances which under
various names of the “tango”, the
“turkey trot”, etc., have attracted
attention as follows:
“By well instructed Catholics
these principles are clearly under
stood, as they are also by the chil
dren in our schools, and I only felt
it necessary to request the priests
of the diocese to call their atten
tion to them in reference to these
vile dances and to warn bath young
and old that if they Indulge in
them, it . would be useless
for them to go to confession in the
hope of obtaining absolution, for
should any priest be so indiscreet,
as to attempt to absolve such a
penitent, the absolution would be
worthless and the confession would
bring a curse rather than a bless
ing.”
More recently Bishop Benjamin J.
Keiley of Savannah is reported to
have said in a letter to the priest
in charge of one of the leading
churches of his diocese some very
plain words on the subject. As re
ported, he said:
“I must make passing reference
here to one. form of very popular
amusement. I refer to dancing. I
am free to say that I cannot under
stand the great popularity of danc
ing,' for the exercise taken therein
can readily be gained in other ways.
But be that as it may, it seems to
be the fact that recently there have
been introduced certain dances ex
tremely popular, but offensive to
good taste and repugnant to Chris
tian modesty. Can there be any
doubt in the minds of Catholic
mothers of their attitude toward
these dances?
“There have been many and, I
fear, just criticisms passed on
some of the recent fashions in
women’s dresses, and there have
actually been arrests made in con
nection with this matter. The only
possible defense are the prevailing
fashion. Whether God will regard
fashion’s laws as an excuse, for
outraging propriety and Christian
modesty is the only question to an
swer. What a Catholic mother
should do in the mater is very clear.
I have always thought it a very
peeculiar thing that the United
States furnishes the world with
foodstuffs and many manufactured
articles, and goes to the boulevards,
the race tracks and worse places in
Paris to dress its women.”

KAISER’S NEW SCHOONER
AFTER AMERICA’S CUP
(B, Associated Press.)
HAMBURG, Germany, Get. 13.—Em
peror William today ordered from Max
Oertz, Hamburg yacht builder, a new
schooner to replace his present yacht
Meteor. The success of the new boat
will have an important bearing on
whether Germany will challenge for the
America's cup with a cutter designed by
Oertz.
Oertz was the designer of the Meteor
as well as of the Germania, belonging
to Gustav Von Krupp Bohlen Und Hal-
bach and several other successful sev-
enty-flve-foot yachts. The new schooner
for the emperor probably will have less
waterline than its predecessor, which
was forced to concede • heavy time al
lowances to competitors.
The authors of these utterances will
not be accused of Puritanism.
They are in position to know the
mortj effects of the dances con
demned, and they have spoken
doubtless under impulsions of con
science. They have not spoken too
soon or too strongly.
Without doubt'it is very difficult
transgrea- to run the line between proper and
improper diversions; but in the
case of these dances the matter is
too clear for argument; they are
simply immoral. It is not worth
while to waste words on the subject;
they are the. outward manifestation
of a trend towards licentiousness
which has been growing for years
in our country.
It is time for all who care for the
moral purity of both men and
women to exert the most positive
Influence to put an end to these
lascivious performances. If not
checked, they will run to still
greater excesses; and they are bad
enough now in all conscience.
A period of luxury and material
prosperity is always accompanied by
tendencies to licentiousness. The
history of both ancient and modern
times shows by many examples the
truth of this proposition. And no
country in any age ever was so rich
as is our country today. By conse
quence, many of the worst vices
have become prevalent, and are be
ginning to be accepted as matters of
course.
Unquestionably there has been
moral improvement in some direc
tions during the last twenty years,
but there has been distinct decline
in other matters. Horse-racing and
the vices of the turf are not nearly
so common as they were two de
cades ago, and other evils have
been suppressed. But the things
which engender licentiousness were
never so general and so evil as they
are now.
The theatre is unspeakably foul,
if the bill-boards and the reports in
the newspapers can be trusted to
represent truly what goes on in the
ago the papers reported the-case of
play-houses of the land. Two weeks
Elize Hupp, or plain Lizzie, as she
was called on week days, wa-s the vil
lage dressmaker. At least until a short
time before this story opens she had
been the dressmaker, and from the
handwriting on the wall It looked as if
the time was not far distant when she
would be spoken of in the past tense.
The reason was not far to seek. Liz
zie had for years held first place be
cause she had no rival. The village,
therefore, had no basis for compari
son. Time was when the girls of Ra
mona were proud to wear a dress made
by “Miz Hupp.” Most people made
their own,, so a dressmaker at all was
an effete luxury. Lizzie herself had
a quite set-up feeling In those days.
Was she not on intimate terms with
the cream of the tbwn?
Yet the best of life had somehow
passed by her. Her days had been as
gray and unexciting as the drab re
flection her cracked mirror threw back
to her disdainfully. She sighed as
she twisted her drab hair into its ac
customed hard knot, shook her head re
gretfully at the unattractive picture,
as dingy as its unvarnished frame, and
turned away wearily. Her enforced holi
day was no pleasure since it meant a
more pinching economy than hereto
fore, which was almost a physical im
possibility.
“How does she do It?” she wonder
ed, miserably, her thoughts reverting
to the cause of her downfall, the smart
young city dressmaker, who was up In
Ramona for her health.
“She looks a sight healthier than I
do,” she muttered, resentfully.
Listlessly she picked up a last
month’s magazine Mrs. Tuttle had given
her.
“Not,” she had disclaimed tactfully,
“that you have much time for foolish
ness, but it does help pass away an
evening now and again.”
The first story attracted Eliza’s
eyes. "From Crysalis to Butterfly,”
looked real frivolous and attractive. As
she read Miss Hupp’s drab cheeks red
dened, her drab eyes brightened to a
sparkling gray. Why, it was the story
of her ow r n life! This girl had been
a poor village dressmaker. Love had
passed her by, too. Middle age loomed,
over her and found her still invisible
to the seeking male eye. And then the
wonderful change had taken place. The
chorus girl she had taken in and helped
in her trouble had told her the secret
of success. The owner of the big mills
had snatched at the fleeting prize, and
wedding bells had ended the marvellous
narrative.
Lizzie pored over this until the horri
fying hour of 10:30. Then she crept
guiltily to bed, her head a smoldering
mass of embryonic plans.
The next-- morning she arose at sun
up, ate her frugal breakfast of cold
biscuit and tea, tidied up the 'house in
a flagrantly casual manner and promptly
at 10 o’clock was admitted to the sacred
precincts of the First National bank.
The president received her courteously,
heard her request without surprise, and
in a marvelously short time Miss Hupp
found herself in possession of both $500
and a brand new mortgage.
The train for San Francisco next day
carried the crysalis to the metropolis.
There, with a temerity she never would
have credited herself with, the little
dressmaker visited masseuse, manicure
and hair dresser. Next she took in the
big shops where styles and fairyland
were crystallzed into marketable crea
tions for the wealthy , and wise.
When she stepped oftxthe train In
Ramona she certainly enjoyed one sen
sation she had lacked all her life. As
she walked down the street in her beau
tiful purple velvet hobble (a last year’s
model the graceless salesman had
palmed off on her as direct from New
York), high-heeled satin shoes, pinching
her poor old toes at every step, her
thin neck, much too decollete for strict
beauty, held stiff to preserve the bal
ance of the huge green hat, with its
wonderful purple plume, she felt herself
to be, for the first time In her life, “the
observed of all observers.”
She minced down the street proudly,
stopping to tell Joe Wendt to get her
parcels at the station and deliver
them promptly.
She stopped at the drug store and
got a glass of soda water, affectedly
mentioning the heat as an excuse for
’such unusual extravagance, though the
day was in reality cool and cloudy, and.
extremely conscious of the drug clerk’s
astonished eyes. She made an errand
at the Ramona emporium to see If she
could get some purple and green silk for
a petticoat. Jim Peterson’s jaw drop
ped at her request and he fumbled help
lessly at his stock, though they both
knew perfectly well that he didn’t have
what she called for.
At last she reached the postoffice In
her triumphal march, and stopped cas
ually for her mail, though her monthly-
letter from her only relative, an uncle
in Ohio, ^ was not due for two weeks,
and she had got her weekly Register
the day before. To her surprise Caleb
handed her a bulky letter, his curiosity’
about equally divided between her and
It.
“Been having a windfall?” he asked,
pleasantly, eyeing her splendor askance.
“That letter seems to be from some
lawyer fellers. Know what’s in it?”
"Tain’t likely,” snapped Lizzie. "I
ain’t been peekin’’ at it like some
folks.”
She bustled off down the street, too
excited over the letter-to finish the tour
she had planned. Never mind, there
were other days for that. Two men
who never had looked art her before with
seeing eyes had taken her In today!
Letting herself into the house with
trembling fingers Lizzie plumped her
self Into the nearest chair and. read
her fat letter. The lawyers announced
that her uncle, Ezra Perkins, was dead
and had left a will bequeathing her en
tire fortune, $50,000, to his beloved
niece, Eliza Hupp, on one condition.
This he believed it would be no mis
fortune for her to comply with, as she
had always been a modest, God-fearing
woman. His only daughter had dis
graced him by going "on the st age and
bedazzling herself for the vulgar gaze
In a most unseemly manner. Her career
had been what one might expect in such
circumstances. Not being a proper and
responsible person, she was cut off with
a small allowance, to be paid to her
monthly by the legatee. The condition
was merely that said legatee should
wear nothing but' modest black, not as
mourning fdr the deceased, but as a
mark of respect for his wishes and a
reproof to his daughter as l»ng as she
lived.
Could she give it all up Just as the
cup was at her lips? Why had she in
sisted on black? She almost hated hftn
for that. The she remembered. The
girl had disgraced him. She shuddered.
What if she should be lured into the.
paths of sin? Was she not tempting
providence in these singularly alluring
habiliments? She remembered the look
on Joe Wendt’s face as he took her
checks, the drug clerk’s simper, Jiin
Peterson’s open mouth and even old
Caleb’s bulging eyes, and hot .shame
poured over her In a tidal wave.
With trembling hands she tore off
the instruments of Satan, vigorously
brushed the artificial crimps from her
hair, scrubbed the powder off her dese
crated cheeks (she fqlt a wicked thrill
because the masseuse’s handiwork was
not so easily eradicated), and then,
wrapped in th e familiar folds of her
old drab wrapper, virtuously sat down
to accept her uncle’s legacy, piously
thanking God for this wonderful mani
festation which had saved her from a
life of shame.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbadoes, Oct.

Save your hair! Get a 25-cent
bottle of Danderine
right now
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is npthing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish
ness and itching of the scalp, which If
not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die—then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to
night—now—anytime—will surely save
your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or toilet
counter, and after the first application
your hair wil! take on that life, lustre
and luxuriance which is so beautiful.
It will become wavy and fluffy and have
the appearance of abundance: an incom
parable gloss and softness, hut what
will please you most will be after just
a few weeks’ use, when you will actual
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair—new
hair—growing all over the scalp.
which all the churches in» their frien<J] y terms,
purest moments condemn? Hardly.
And let It he remembered that
the Christian standard is not merely
that of worldly ethics; it is a re
ligious standard. Followers of
Christ are to be of his mind and
drink of his spirit.
Wherefore, the • devout Bishop
Mcllvaine of the Protestant Episco
pal Church, in speaking years ago
on the question of certain amuse
ments, said, "Let me now turn to
two subjects in which there is no
difficulty of discrimination—the
theatre and the dance. The only
line I would draw in regard to these
is that of ENTIRE EXCLUSION.
And yet, my brethren, I am well
aware how easy it is for the imagi
nation to array both of these in
such an abstract and elementary
simplicity, so divested of all that
gives them their universal character
and relish that no harm could be
detected in either. The question is
not what we can imagine them to
be, hut what they always have been
and will be and must be, in such a
world,/as this, to render them plaus
ible to those who patronize them
Strip them bare, till they stand in
the simple innocence to which the
arguments of their defenders would
reduce them, and the world would
not have them. If I am asked
whether, in my opinion, in the
pomps and vanities of this wicked
world which are renounced in bap
tism, are included theatrical amuse
ments and dances, I answer without
hesitation in the affirmative.”
To the same effect spoke that
eminent Presbyterian minister, the
late Dr. Benjamin M. Palmer of
New Orleans, in a sermon wljich he
preached and then printed some
time before he died. He said,
“Above all, do we profess to be fol
lowers of Him whose style and title
on earth was ‘the Man of Sorrows'.
Do we profess to bear about in our__ _ ■
