Christian church.

The first Lordsday In March is
Foreign Missionary Day in all the
churches of the world. Much interest
and enthusiasm cenIers in all offer
ings because of this year being the
centennial year of the churches life,
it having been first organized in Oct.
1909. It's growth has been rapid, es-
parts of the United States. 1t now
numbers about 1,250,000 members.
The missionary board sent out last
year twenty-three new missionaries.
The whole missionary force now in
the field numbers 761, who are at
work in ten countries of the world.
Colleges, schools, orphanages and hos
pitfalls in goodly number are in oper-
alton. The pastors discoursed on Mis-
sionary Excuses. Any phase of the
theme to an earnest pastor, and Rev.
Zendt gave, a very interesting dis
course. He referred to the lonely life
but most fruitful field of the average
missionary. We spend 81 cents for
home work where We spend 8 cents
for foreign. II laKes ten Christians in
the home land to convert one person
while one missionary will bring al
least two persons to Christ while
working among uncivilized peoples
The question Is not will the heather
be saved without the gospel but vii
Christians be saved II they withhold
the gospel message?' Four thousand
native Chinese CHRISTIANS gave VI
their life during the Boxer war fol
the cause they loved.
The discourse was strong plea t.
the church to keep the. fountains o
generosity open If II Is to enjoy Gods
richest blessings. An Offering wa
taken at the close OF the service.

PROGRESSIVE NEW SMYRNA
NEW SMYRNA Is situated fifsee

NEW SMYRNA Is situated fifteen
miles south of DaytOna and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
hard surface road winding through
one OF the most picturesque parts OF
Florida.
With its ancient ruins dating back
20 q time when the history of man
runneth not interlaced with wires OF
the modern telegraph and telephone,
its miles Of shell streets as hard and
smooth as floor and over-arched by
hOary forest giants that grew in state
ly grandeur during the lapse of by
gone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
a place Of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleaSure-seeLer. Here
too is to be found the best fishing and
hunting in the State Of Florida.
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterprising. and all unite
in extending the welcome hand OF
hospitality to STRANGERS, There are
FIVE church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and uP-tO-date business houses.

homes for the permanent population

been divided into small farms which
can be bought at reasonable prices.
Some Of the finest celery grown in
the State is raised on this land. All
other vegetables grow in abundance,

Gus Indian River oranges.
New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedness and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
10 visit is the ruins of the Old Span
ish Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest of New Smyrna A good
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent in the great pine fats by the
margin Of the forest, is this place Of
pilgrimage for the piOus; this rem
devious for the picnicker. The ruins
are extensive, and while there is no
authentic history of their origin, il
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the FranCiscans in the days
when the once powerful KINGDOM of
Spain first planted its flag upon what
Is now American soil. 1t was built
Of coquina, the roof being Of the
same material, cut into thin slabs
and covered with cement plaster.
Extensive gardens surrounded if,
which we're enclosed by a stone
wall, portions Of which still remain.
Visitors usually come in parties
merry and curious but the spell Of
the place soon falls upon them and
they separate to sit alone, silent and
under the arches or be-
side the ancient well.

Charles Dickens, who sent to Samuel
Rogers several Of his books, who dedI-
Gated Minister Humphreys Clock" to
him and who frequently assisted at the
famous breakfasts In st. James place,
was accustomed, rather cruelty, II may
be thought, to take of his hosts very
characteristic way OF telling a story,
and II Is, moreover, affirmed by Percy
Fitzgerald that In the famous read
ings "the strangely obtuse and owl
like expression and the slow, husky
croak' Of Mr. J@tice Stareleigh In the
Trial From Pickwick' were closely
modelled upon the author Of the Pleas
ures OF Memory" That Dickens used
thus to amuse his friends IN confirmed
by the "Confdences' Of the late Fred
erlck Locker who perfectly remem-
bered the Old man. to see whom he had
been carried AZ a boy by his father.
He had also himself heard Dickens re-
peat one Of Rogers stock anecdotes Ut
was that OF the duel In dark room.
where one OF the combatants, humane
ly firing up the chimney, brings down
his adversary, and he speaks Of Dick
ems as Initiating Rogers calm, low
pitched, drawing voice and dry biting
