weeks. men who have been successful
in business affairs, and who have accu.
muIated money, at jacksonville, and al
other Florida points, particularly 50 al
jacksonville and at Live Oak, are ac-
credited with contributing literally OF
their money towards building a Young
Mems Christian Association building, q
home for the Salvation Army and for
other christian purposes, and for doing
other good work in the Masters Vine
yard. The contributions were all given
quietly and in the true spirit, with no
hope of advertising the names of the
contributors, and perhaps each one of
those noble Floridians would much pre-
fer their names had not been published
in connection with the gifts for the
work their money Is doing "In His
Name;" but Providence and newspaper
reporters, would not let IL be 80, and
the people of Florida are now familiar
with the names of most of those good

fore Read the pathetic story we pub
lish on our first page, "In His.Name Do
They Work, " as a'small example Of the
result Of the work Of these lowly, but
pure and true christian workers Of the
Salvation Army, and then let all men
ask. can any true man despise, ridicule
or slur at such christians. That arti-
Gle shows up the Christ spirit of the two,
the humble and pure spirit first Of
the grateful "old time negro" and Of
the Salvation Army Servant Of the
Master" who we'll done their duty as
christians, even looking into "the hum.
blest of the little cottages that dot the
poorest sections Of the city" In our
note book, at times, as they have con-
tributed, have we jotted down the names
OF the contributors TO all of those good
institutions Of mercy and love for their
fellowmen, not that we expect to ever
publish list Of their names, for we
know they do not desire that, and that
free and cheap advertising was not what
they hoped to gain from it, but that
we could keep in our memory the deep
regard and respect this writer has for
allmen who do such things, in the right
spirit. To close, 1t must needs, in

see the good fruits that are daily com

tropois of Florida, for he that doeth

and most handsome profits, wealth
that will last throughout eternity, and
maybe each and all Of these good men,
with all their loved ones, will abide
and reside with their Master, and The
True Democrat, hopes it will be 80. Let
US all strive TO do good. Send a small
contribution now to the Jacksonville
Salvation army, that Ensign Paul and
his humble workers may go on doing
good work in the Masters Vineyard.
