In cooking fish, a baking sheet is all most a necessity; it is simply piece of galvanized or plain sheet iron, just large enough to fit in the bottom of the baking pan, with rings at each end to lift it by When the fish is prepar- ed for the oven, set it on the sheet iron, which should be well greased, then lower into the pan and bake. When done lift the sheet by the rings, slip the fish from this on to the plat ter without breaking it and serve whole.

sagacity to act the part of the early
bird and gobbled up some of the best
propositions that the drainage scheme
presented.
The last issue of the Homeseeker,
speaking of Mr.. Billingsley, says:
~. II Billingsley, of the Everglades

The farm is part of the Wigginton
and Martin homesteads, and the new
owner will proceed at once to make it
into visit grove of not only grapefruit
and oranges, but win take a try al
every kind of fruit that, by the laws
of nature, should flourish in this part
of Florida.
Hundreds of royal palms and CO.

EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE IN
JACKSONVILLE

Friday was the last day of the ed
ucational conference in Jacksonville
The attendance was good, although
not as large as was expected, for a
number of good reasons. The follow
ing officers for the coming year were
elected:
President-Rozert c. ogden, New
York.
Vice -Wickliffe Rose,
Washington City.
Recommendation A. Blair, North
Carolina.
Executive Secretary-P. P. Claxton,

President A. A. Murphree of the
University of Florida was named as
the Florida member of. the executive
committee.
There were many distinguished
speakers at the conference from all
parts of the country. and several from
foreign countries, and some magnifi-
cent speeches were delivered. DR.. Hi
ram Byrd of the Florida state board of
health was one of the speakers during
this important conference. His paper
was on the subject of Progress of
Sanitation in Florida" speaking of
which the Metropolis said:
This paper dealt with the battle
which had been made in the state
against yellow fever and other dis
eases. The speaker quoted statistics
showing how we'll the modern ideas
had worked. Yellow fever is now a
thing of the past, as far as this state
is concerned. He said that this was
the first state to cede to the general
government the maritime quarantine
rights, and that in the last yellow fe-
yer epidemic the wisdom of the action
was seen.
This state established a board of
health twenty-five years ago, when
she was but forty years of age, while
Massachusetts had been in the Union
seventy nine years and New York one
hundred and four years before Great
ing such body"
Count Carl Moltke was among the
distinguished foreigners present at the
conference, which he addressed on the
opening day.
Supt. J. H. Crimson and Mr.. and
Mrs. C. L. Bittinger represented Ocala

The Ocala Banner, comparing the
products of Marion and Alachua coun-
ties, as shown by the report of the
commissioner of agriculture, shows
that the people of Alachua county pro-
duced and consumed 477,067 gallons of
milk, valued at $137,32S, while Ma
rion's product was only $4,000 gallons,
valued at 1920. Eggs, butter and
corn are shown to be in about the
same proportions. The Banner adds.
IF correct, these statistics make %
bad showing for Marion; if incorrect,
the commissioners report is worse

IcHRlsTs PROHIBITION OF WAR
My country is the world; my coul

My country is the world; my coun-
trymen are all mankind.
We know not where to look for
Christianity if not to its founder; and,
taking the record of his life and death,
of his teaching and example, we can
discover nothing which even remote
ly, under any conceivable circum-
stances, justifies the use of the sword
or the rifle on the part of his follow
ers. On the contrary, we find nothing
but self sacrifice, willing martyrdom
Gf need be), peace and good will, and
the prohibition of all retaliatory feel
ings enjoined upon all who would be
his disciples. When he said: Fear
not those who kill the body" he broke
every deadly weapon. When he said:
my kingdom is not of this world, else
would my servants fight that I should
not be delivered to the Jews" he
plainly prohibited war in self defense,
and substituted martyrdom therefor.
When he said: Love your enemies"
he did not mean Kill them if they go
too far" When he said, when expir-
ing on the cross: Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they
do" he did not treat them as a herd
of buffaloes, but as poor, misguided
and lost men. We believe in his phil
osophy. We accept his instruction.
We are thrilled by his example. We
rejoice in his fidelity. In the
name of Jesus of Nazareth, who suf-
fered himself to be INTERESTINGLY nail
ed to the cross, we solemnly protest
against any of his professed followers
resorting to carnal weapons under any
pretext or in any extremely what
ever.
The history of mankind is crowded
with evidences proving that physical
coercion is not adapted to moral re-
generation; that the sinful DISPOSE
tons of man can be subdued only by
love; that evil can be exterminated
from the earthly only by goodness;
that it is not safe to rely upon an arm
of flesh to preserve us from harm;
that there is great security in being
gentle, harmless, long-suffering, and
abundant in mercy; that it is only the
meek who shall inherit the earth, for
the violent who resort to the sword
shall perish with the sword.
War is as capable of moral analysis
as slavery, intemperance, licentious-
ness or idolatry 1t is not an abstrac-
ton which admits of doubt or uncer-
tainty, but as tangible as bombs, can
non, mangled corpses, smouldering
ruins, desolated towns and villages,
rivers of blood. 1t is substantially
the same in all ages and cannot
change it's moral features. Nothing is
more terribly distinct than it's career.
1t leaves it's impress on everything it
touches, whether physical, mental or
moral.-William Lloyd Garrison.

n. n. HORACE ARRAIcNED BE,
FORE COMMISSIONER LOCKE

OAA- .0SfN-
Henry Harrison Horace, whose dog
uncovered a package containing $10.-
600, alleged to have been stolen while
in transit from the Exchange Nation
al Bank of Tampa to the Bank of
Clearwater by ]. ]. Abbott, railway
mail clerk, and afterwards hidden in
the hollow stump of a tree in the
woods near Brooksville, Fla, was
brought to this city this morning by
Deputy United States Marshal T. j.
Bundrix from Ocala, where he was ar
rested last week.
Horace was arraigned before United
States Commissioner e. o. Locke and
committed to the Duval county Jail, in
default of bail in the sum of $500.
James Anderson, negro who was
with Horace at the time the money
was found, was brought here from
Townsend, Ca, last Monday. He is
also in Jail here in default of $500
bond, and both he and Horace will be
held as witnesses in the case against
Abbott, when it is brought to trial in
the United States court.
A pathetic incident connected with
he &c fao hof xuhn
is painter and paper hanger, and has
never had the use of much money, had
planned to build a little home at Ocala
for himself and wife and 17-year- old
son. He had already purchased an IL
acre farm for $3.50, and was arranging
to build home when arrested.
In discussing the case, Horace said:
Anderson and I were out cutting
wood. had my gun with me and had
already killed rabbit. I saw another
rabbit run by and Anderson and I
started after it. 1t disappeared when
it reached the hollow stump and was
followed by the dog.
1--WE both thought the rabbit had
gone into the stump. and hurried after
it. When we reached the stump 1
saw an object which 1 supposed to be
bunch of roots and called Anderson's
attention to it. 1 thought some other
hunter had probably run a rabbit or
other game to cover and had then
stuffed the root sinto the hole SO that
it could not escape.
Il pulled what 1 supposed to be
roots out of the hole and found 1 had
hold of a sack. I turned it upside
down, cut the strings which held the
opening shut, and a roll of bills fell
out.
"Then I divided the money with An
derson and took the rest with me to
my home in Brooksville. Never think
ing for a moment that it was stolen
money, and believing that because
found it 1 had right to keep it, 1
told my wife and son of my good for
tune and we decided to buy a little
place at Ocala and build a home.
Il went to Ocala and bought the
ground and was getting ready to build
when was arrested. 1 suppose 1 am
to be held as a witness against Alb
bott. 1 am just in this trouble, and |
can't help it,"
AS Horace is an dormant man, the
impression is general among his
friends that in stating that he knew
nothing of the theft of the $4,000
package, supposed to be the same that
he found secreted in the tree stump
the following day, that he told the
truth.-Friday's Metropolis.

too small to admit a man. We re-
member, however, that they are quite
elastic. The great sulphur variety is
of enormous size and is said to have
a throat capable of swallowing a skiff,
much larger than a man and less fiex-

Preaching to the Ninevites
Our special lesson, however, is con-
nected with Jonah's mission to the
Ninevites. Jonah's preaching was that
within forty days God would destroy
Nineveh. But the people, impressed
by his message, repented of their sinful
course and sought Divine forgiveness.
We are, of course, to understand that
God knew the end from the beginning
that He knew that the Ninevites
would repent and that He would not
blot them out within forty days, in ac-
cordance with Jonah's preaching.
Nineveh did pass away utterly, great
city that it was, but not within forty
literal days. Possibly the time meant
by the Almighty was what is some
times prophetic or symbolical time,
day for year-forty days, forty years.
The lesson shows us how much
greater is the compassion of the AL
mighty than that of His imperfect serv
ants of human kind. God was pleas
ed to have the Ninevites turn from
their sins to hearty repentance. He
was pleased to grant them an extern
sion of earthly life. But Jonah was
displeased. His argument was, There.
God did make a fool of me. He told
me that this great city would be de-
stroyed within forty days, and ]
preached it. But all the while He must
have known that it would not be de-
stroyed within forty days. God has
brought discredit upon me, and l am
now to be regarded as false prophet
Jonah was more interested in him
self and his own reputation than in
the Ninevites and their interests. The
Lords servants must not do so!
God Repented of the Evil
1u0 QuSly uAAoCo Al SOAliS AAAAAN~S'
How can God repent and change His
mind if He knows the end from the
beginning? The answer is that the
word repent hes wider meaning than
is generally appreciated. Humanity
uses it only in respect to change of
purpose. But, as modern dictionaries
show, the word may mean either q
change of action or a change of pur-
pose, or both. Gods purposes do not
change. He never repents of them
But He does change His conduct
Thus Israel, His favored people fol-
centuries, was cut off, and Gods deal
ings toward them changed But Gods
purposes never changed toward Israel
He foreknew and foretold their rejec
ton of Jesus and his rejection of them
and how later they would be regath
cred to their own land and be forgiven
and blessed by Messiah.
The Lord taught Jonah lesson re
specting his sympathy for gourd, az
inanimate thing, and his lack of sym
patty for the Ninevites. So it is will

sympathy for the flowers, for the birds
