Stuart smiled feebly.

and dragged you into the bank"
The doctor entered and quickly
dressed Stuart's wounds, and turned to

bank by the spell Of his eloquence. I
hope you can persuade him not to try
that again."
II think I'm fully persuaded, DOCTOR"
Stuart answered grimly, I've seen a
great light today"
When the doctor had gone and Nan
was left alone with Stuart an embar-
rassed silence fell between them.
She was quietly wondering If he were
fully unconscious when she was sob
hing and saying some very foolish
things. Above all she was wondering
whether he knew that she had kissed
him.
And the man was wondering II the
memory Of the tear that fell on his
face and the pressure Of a woman's
lips were only dream.
He secuted the idea of going to
hospital and Nan insisted on taking
him home
when her car stopped at South
Washington Square and Stuart insist
ed on scrambling out alone, she held
his hand tight a moment and spoke
with trembling earnestness:
"You will see me now, Jim, and be
friends?"
He answered promptly
''Yes, Nan, will. The world Is new
er going to be quite the same place
for me after today. There was one
moment this morning in which think
lived a thousand years."
A hot flush stole over the woman's
beautiful face as she looked steadily
into his eyes and quietly asked:
j'tWhat moment was that?"
1.-THE moment l looked down that
gun barrel, saw the stupid hate in that
fool's eyes and felt the throb of the
insane desire to kill in the people be-

been giving my life joyous sacrifice"
Nan smiled a sigh Of relief
a'Oh! l see-well, you've made me
very happy with your promise, l know
you'll keep your word"
Stuart looked at her a moment curl
ously. Was there a tear trembling in
the corner of her dark eyes. as she
spoke the last sentence, or was 1t his
imagination?
He pressed her hand firmly.
You are more beautiful than ever,
Nan. Yes, I'll keep my word. Good
bye until CALL"
And the woman smiled in triumph.

Listen to the Tale Of Woe Of Ono Who
Has Tried It.
THE railway journey from Kioto To
Yokohama, despite the fact that that
most beautiful country is traversed, Is
not the pleasantest Of experiences,
declares a writer in the Wide World
"One buys a railway ticket In Japan
in installments.
The ordinary ticket only enables
one to go by a train covering the
minimum distance in the maximum
time, so an extra express ticket Is
purchased, which means that the en-
CINE moves a little more quickly to-
ward its appointed goal
Next a platform ticket must be
procured, to enable one to board the
train, and finally one has to fight ones
way into a first class carriage. Why
do all the passengers In Japan take
their luggage into the already pain
fully small carriage instead Of leaving
it in the van? And why, again, does
a nation that is a password for clean
illness the world over possess train
service so shockingly dirty In every
detail?
I'VE once, in a weak moment. look
ed into a StationmaSter's room at
large station, and for pure dirt II
could have given points to a dust
heap. In the train carriages the floors
are covered with the dirt Of ages
cigarette ends, orange peel, sandwich
papers: at intervals a porter saunters
in with a brush and leisurely sweeps
all the refuse into a corner, having
first carefully closed every window
so that no atom of discomfort or in
fection shall be lost.
Finally he departs, leaving behind
him the rubbish and an atmosphere
charged with germs and angry words
Truly a Japanese porter's definition
of cleaning up is removing rubbish
from one place to another. To change
clothing in a crowded carriage Is
merely pastime to a japanese
traveller, and one may happily heave
a sigh of relief if nothing worse hap

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

The First Baptist church of Ocala
was constituted July ;, 1850, with five
members. The first pastor was Rev.
Isaac Newton. Marked progress was
made until the civil war broke out,
when the worship of the church was
suspended for few years. In about
1873 the church had but one member,
Mrs. Fannie r. Gary, who is still a
member. During all these years she
has n9bly stood by her church, and
has been a tower of strength. Owing
to impaired health she is unable to at
tend the services of the church, but
her interest in it has never abated.
She has given the church lot on the
corner of Oklawaha avenue and Watu-
la street, on which a handsome church

The present house of worship was
erected during his pastorate.
From 1891 to 1902 the church had
six pastors In 1902 the Rev. L. B.
Warren was called to the church.
During the three years of his pastor
ate the church membership increased
from 153 to 442, and the finances of
the church were more than doubled.
Rev. L. B. Warren was succeeded by
Rev. c. C. Carroll in 1905. The church
reached high-water mark during the
first year of his pastorate. The mem
bership then was 513. The Sunday
school enrolment was 3o2, and the Of
ferings to missions were $S6919. The
total amount raised was $45S5.59
Rev c. c. Carroll was succeeded in

of success, especially as the men serv-
ing as pastors were located only for
short time.
The real work and growth of the
OcaIa church seems to date from the
beginning OF the present pastorate of
Rev. ". H. Coleman. who located with
the church and began his term of SER
vice August %, 1908. AS the church
is congregational in its policy, the
call was made for an indefinite time,
in the hope that it might be for a long
term of years.
Last year the church was re-roofed,
and refinished in the interior, and
concrete walks laid in front

the present pastorate the church men,

three dollars per member.
The growth of the Ocala church has

look is very encouraging. The MEM

great body of disciples which are MAX

its faith, works and organization.
And while the great body of the
Christian church last year made the

church in the United States, except

to have made more than her average

GRACE CHURCH
History of Grace Church

1t seems impossible to ascertain
when the first service of the church
was held in Ocala, and by whom. Our
records do not go back any further
than the year 1876. However, there
were occasional services during the
time that Bishop Rutledge was bishop
of Florida The state was then all in
one diocese. He himself never visited
Ocala, being then too aged and infirm.
Whatever scattering services may
have been held in the first part of the
last century, we find the church here
in the early sixties under definite or
ganization, though only struggling
mission, with a few scattering mem
bers. The senior warden of those days
was Col st. Geo. Rogers, and Mr.. S.
d. Mcconnell, Presbyterian, and
Mr.. W. S. Trantham, Methodist, serv-
ed the church in matters relating TO
the temporalities, taking the place of
vestry, and both were afterwards
confirmed The home of Mrs. G. II.
Reardon, mother of Hon. Jno. G. Rear
don, and other private residences,
were used for services. The only
priest whose name we have as having
been here before the civil war is the
Reverend Mr.. Capin, who returned 10
the north soon after the breaking ont
of the war. Then the Reverend NJ.
Scull succeeded him for year or go.
Bishop Rutledge died on November
9Th, 1866, and was succeeded by Bish.
op Young, who was consecrated bish-
op of Florida on July 25th, 1867. lie
often visited Ocala. 1t was toward the
close of Bishop Rutledge's Episcapate,
or about the beginning of Bishop
Youngs, that the Reverend Mr. Quin-
by was in charge of the mission. The
two things that seem to Hnger in the
memory of those early members of
the church about him are his preach
ing in the black gown, and his intro
duetion of the takingup of a collection
of aims in the service, which latter
practice seemed to meet with some OPP
position. There was still no church
building in his day, and the court
house, the Masonic lodge and the old

There were eleven pastors from the
organization of the church until the
pastorate of Rev. C. H. Nash His
term of service extended nearly nine
years, from 1882 to 1891. Under
Brother Nashs wise leadership the
church made great strides forward.
