Progressive Epworth League.

The following is from Miss Grace
Townsend's note to the Tampa Tri.
bune:
There is a very progressive Ep'
worth League in Lakeland, and from
the Lakeland News it is seen that
these eMthodist workers have a read
ing circle. 1t meets at the homes OF
members and after some choice lit
crary thoughts brought Out for the
intellectual profit OF the leaguers,
they have a lunch and Il social time.
Why not have reading circles among
the Endeayorers also initiate these
Lakeland young people by giving the
editor of their home paper a
chance to tell what they are doing?

A Happy Home.

A man who has made a happy
home for his wife and children, NJ
matter what he has not done in the
way of achieving wealth and honor;
if he has done that he is a grand sue
cess. If he has not done that, and
it Is his own fault, though he be the
highest in the land, he Is "A mos.
pitiable failure. We wonder how
many men in a mad pursuit of gold,
which characterizes the age, realize
that there is no fortune which can
be left to their families as great as
the memory of happy home.

OF the race was al Is, thus breaking
the former record OF aso Is by three
seconds.
This performance becomes the more
phenomenal when It is considered that
II was run on under the most adverse
conditions existing in the last eighteen
years and that all the other races,
college. high school grammar school,
we're Rrom four 10 six seconds behind
record time. The track was fully four
to six seconds slow to a mile. Had II
BEEN dry and competition close. Nthe old
record would have been smashed by
seven or eight seconds, according TO
statements MADE by Mlke. Murphy
and other experts present.
This wonderful time was in n large
measure due to the amazing running OF
TED Meredith. who ran his quarter
IN " 4-5 seconds. There Is no telling
what Meredith would have done II he
had had the benefit OF dry track and
keen competition. 1t Is the common
consensus OF opinion among all experts
who saw him run that ne is the best
schoolboy runner ever seen ON Franklin
Field.
Sig things are expected OF him dur
ing the present season. ana II would
not surprise experts IKE Nike Murphy,
