Il found the system of land holding
most simple. 1t Is most of it owned in
large chunks and under titles which are
only a step or so removed from the
original royal grants There is. by
the way, no such thing as a general
rectangular division Of property In
Cuba for the, reason that the royal
grants We're always made in circles.
AS the land was divided among the
heirs of the original grantees, il was
naturally in irregular shapes. The
land is measured in Cuba in cabalreia.
which is equal to SO American acres.
The large plantation owners are,
of course, the principal men of the
eastern end Of Cuba One Barnabee
Sanchez, who lives in Nouvitas, and is
one of the chief men about our dis
trict, Is as perfect gentleman as one
could wish to meet
If there is any one thing that Cuba
most needs just at the present time.
1t is more railroads. Most or the. rail-
roads in the eastern end are one-horse
affairs, and are owned by the various
planters who use them in getting their
produce to the seaboard.'

On September 2 next Mr., Park will
sail again from New York for Cuba,
TO remain there for many months, and
possibly even to take up his perman-
ent residence there. Mr., Parks de-
parture will be the signal for the ac-
tuai commencement Of operation Of

the Spanish war, would in the course
Of a decade, work a peaceful revolution

general manager in Cuba is the first

purpose of furnishing capital and ma
teriai in developing the plantation
lands. Mr. Park on his visit just COM
pleted the legal transfer of some 40, 900
acres Of land, stretching along IA miles
sof seacoast, to the company which he
represents. On this land will the town
Of La Gloria be founded, and. In the

I tell you that there are not words in
the English language to adequately de-
scribe the beauties and utilities of the
eastern end Of Cuba
The distances are great there. The
country in the eastern section is poorly
settled, and is fairly painting for de-
velopment. To reach the site Of La
Gloria, one goes by steamer direct from
New York to Neuvitas. Neuvitas is
q town Of some 5000 inhabitants. From
that place the site of La Gloria lies
some 26 miles along the coast
The first day / arrived in Cuba, I
spent Is hours on horseback In getting

line, and to make the transfers OF the

jesus First Miracle John q: Ill.
Read the whole Ctapter.
Golden Text Ard His disciples
believed on Him. v-J John q: IL.
There was marriage party in Cana
in Galilee, and the mother OF Jesus was
there. Ho proud the family must
have been to have for guest the one of
whom the Angel Gabriel had said.
"Blessed art thou among women. "
How they must have honored herl How
Jesus must have loved herl How she
must have worshipped her Son, know
ing that He was the Son of Godl
Jesus and His disciples were also at
the wedding party, and when they
wanted wine, His mother, who had full
confidence in Him, told Him "They
have no Wine." And now having COM
mitted all thing to Him, she said to the
servants, Whatsoever He saith unto
you, do it.n This is the only precept
which she has left to the world, and
those of rs who love her whom Jesus
loved, may please her by obeying Him.
There we're six stone wafer pots sit
ting there, which the Jews used for
washing; and Jesus said to the servants
.Fill the water pots with WATER" and
they filled them up to the brim. Then
He told them to draw out the contents
and hand to the governor of the feast.
And as soon as the governor had tast-
ed the water which had been turned
into wine, be did not know where it bad
come from, and complimentsd the BRIDE
groom on its excellent quality.
This was the beginning of the mir
acles of Jesus among his disciples. and
showed His glory to such an extent
that they believed on Him. We have
great advantage over them in this re-
spect, having the wonderful account
Of many of His great miracles, and
some Of us have found out that the
greatest miracle of all has been worked
in our case; and that we have already
passed from death unto life, and shall
never perish; because Jesus has given
unto us eternal life; and that it can
never end or it would not ba eternal.
Then what a wedding feast we may
look forward.to when the Bridegroom
shall come, and we shall not be guests
but the bride for Him to present to His
Father. perhaps not very good bride,
but accepted in Him, and loved for the
sake of the Son; for He is able to keep
us from stumbling and to present US
faultless before the presence OF His
glory with exceeding joy" "Thsn shall
every man have praise of God"
The beginning of jesus miracles
will afford His people never ending
theme when they sit down to the mar
riage supper of the Lamb, and can look
forward to miracles which shall never
end, when 'The kingdom Of the world
is become the Kingdom of our Lord
and Ct His Christ; and He shall reign
forever and ever" for He will then
take unto himself His great power.
"Blessed are all they that put their
trust in Him."
