tanned a very large audience at Plymouth
church. HIS first series Of talks OF the
Orient was given and he took as his sub
iect "Joppa TO Jerusalem. ~ The reverend
gentleman has but recently returned
from abroad, and the scenes and incidents
he related OF his travels were highly in
structive and interesting. Among other
things he said was that the Turk was
nuisance to the East and the sooner he
became extinct the better. lie was at
best a scowling, dirty vagabond, and his
chief delight was to appropriate things
which did not belong TO him. Another
good thing he said was that everywhere
he went in the Holy Land he noticed
where IL was clean the people were better
i'm every respect than where they were
dirty and that fact applied to this and
other countries as well as the land OF
the Orient. A clean heart said the doc
tor, means clean body, clean clot hes and
clean finger nails. OLD VET.

The Ocala Temperance Reform
Club had no prearranged program
for yesterday afternoon, yet the
meeting was a very interesting
one. Several of the members
made appropriate remarks, and Mr..
w, D. earn, visiting friend. gave
a short, interesting talk, in which
he declared he was for temper
ance and was courageous enough
to proclaim it anywhere. He also
declared that people reap what
they sow, and that if they sow
whisky they will reap drunkards
tenfold.
