 Owing to the fact that the Annual Reunion dates conflict this year with Memorial Day.

ABOUT THE BIBLE
IRVING KEcK HAS A FEW
WORDS TO SAY.

Whenever the Bible speaks It is
a book Of authority. In spiritual
things it bears the impress of the
Creator. If in the affairs of every
day life it IS from one in whom ali
knowledge and wisdom dwell.
1t is the truth fer its words are
by Him who is The way the truth
and the life and is indicted by
the Spirit Of truth. But Holy
men of God spake as they were
moved by the Holy Ghost. = z
Peter 1;21.
The study Of this word will
make us wise unto salvation and
there is scarcely a situation in life
when instruction may not be found
in the word that win be helpful.
Many regard il as contradictory
but truth cannot be contradictory
it must harmonic and it is the
effort Of men to prove their beliefs
that make seeming contradictions.
If men will take the plain state
ments Of the Bible they will find
harmony all through and a reason
able harmonious teaching that can
stand before any objections. For
a few issues we may take up some
of these subjects and see what we
can find in them of interest.

WHERE THEY WENT, WHAT
THEY SAW, ETC.

Wearied with the days travel
and dusty as well the Florida
editors Immediately after arriving
at Toxaway Inn and registering,
were shown their bedrooms. -Four
stories high they went by elevator
and soon found themselves ushered
into large airy rooms furnished
with all the conveniences that the
modern traveller requires, which
includes frequent bath rooms and
etceteras What was our delight
to find that the water provided
for our use was soft, pure and
sparkling, like that in Our Florida

loneliness most enhancing, On
every side rose mountains. Some
peaks attaining All altitude of 5000
feet, all wooded to the summit and
presenting in early June the most
varied and beautiful shades of
green, interspersed with blossoms
of every hue, on closer inspection.
In front of the hotel lay the lake
placid and shining in the early
morning sun the hotel surmount-
ing a hill of considerable size that
gradually slopes to the lake, the
hillside being a carefully kept
lawn covered with blue grass and
dotted with fine large trees. Here
tame squirrels gamboled and slyly
accepted nut offerings from
members Of the household.
Toxaway Inn, the capital of
Toxaway mountain and lake is a
stately structure, finely located
and appropriately kept. Its
capacity is 400 guests, and we were

the latter method more profitable,
as it is certainly less laborious
The Toxaway Inn is the largest
Of this group Of hotels, and for
location attractions, climate, etc.
we know of no more desirable
place for the tourists to spend the
summer vacation. The elevation
is 300 feet above sea level. Lake
Toxaway is an artificial lake made
| by dam across the river. This
dam is 500 feet long and is built Of
rock and dirt and is considered a
very substantial structure. The
lake is in a natural basin, with an
area of 1000 acres, and shore
line of about fifteen miles. Just
below the dam are roaring water
falls Of 400 feet that are All at
traction to Floridians.
We we're treated to launch
ride across and around the lake,
and dismounted and scrambled
over rocks and shrubbery until we
caught a glimpse of these falls,
and were also shown an iron spring
at which we all slaked our thirst
On Sunday morning part of us
decided, to climb Mount Toxaway
and at about nine o'clock fifteen
of our party boarded the launch
and by it were taken across the
lake to the foot of the mountain,
where we left the boat and struck
the trail We had been told that
the summit could be reached in a
walk of three and oDe-half miles
and not a Florida Cracker among
us would admit that he or she
could not walk seven miles a day.
The morning was bright and fine
and only one or two of the party
had seen the early morning cloud
cap on the top of the mountain
and we pushed forward right
merrily. The trail was an easy
one, the ascent gradual and the
occasional mountain brooks we
crossed furnished delightful re-
freshments. But we had scarcely
gotten where we could see above
the tree tops below and catch
glimpses of lake and river when
the clouds began to gather. They
shut off our view by covering the
valley with a heecy sheet, for we
we're above the clouds. We were
not happy. We had been told of
the 100 peaks that could be
counted from Mount Toxaway and
nothing less than a chance to count
them would satisfy us. Still it
was some relief to have the sun
shut off, and the first pattering
were almost welcome for
we were half way up and hot and
tired. The rest of the way may
be imagined but cannot be-
described. There was
no shelter nearer than The Lodge
at the summit, and amid down
pour of rain more or less steady
we plodded on. Somehow the
Jokes grew less frequent, and the
stern looks more common. The
party too began to straggle- The
men pushed ahead. They were
not impclite-the ladies wanted
them to go. The fresh white
dresses of two hours ago were
limp and clinging. We only be-
sought the lunch carriers to get
there without mishap and when
the fag end of the party stumbled
upon a broken pasteboard box and
some crushed hard boiled eggs we
almost cried, They were too dirty
to eat, and we knew there wouldn't
