UNION REVIVAL SERVICES

Rev. Bob" Jones, who is to conduct
union revival services in Ocala, ar.
rived Saturday He is accompanied
by Mrs. Jones. They are registered
at the Harrington Hall Mr.. McKen-
zie, a great singer, who will form a
! feature of the revival services, is also
here. These gentlemen come to our
city direct from Scranton, Pa, where
they conducted most successfully a
monster revival.
They began the initial services at
the Methodist church Sunday night,
but as it rained about the opening
hour no doubt a very large number
were kept away
Mr.. Jones' first sermon was mere
ly Introductory, but he made a very
favorable impression upon those who
were out to hear him. He is fluent of
speech, talks calmly and naturally
and is not an imitator.
He said that this is not an age OF
atheism; that those who now doubt
the existence of a Supreme Being are
few and far between. But that the
world was not yet converted to Christ
and without full faith in Christ there
can be no hope of eternal life.
He said that he believed in total de-

alone be cured by an acceptance OF
Christ and dependence upon him.
! He said that the Bible was the
most wonderful book ever printed
and was wonderful because its author
was God. That no other book was SO
popular, and its sales throughout all
( generations exceeded all other books
He said that the world needed an
awakening to God, and was being
aroused now as never before. That
there was more charity and love be
tween different denominations, and a
greater spread OF Christianity
throughout the world.
He said that Scranton. Pa, was one
Of the most wicked cities in the Unit
ed States, but had just Witnessed a
great Pentecostal outpouring of the
spirit, and he hoped that his efforts
/ in Ocala would likewise oe rewarded
He said that he was converted il
primitive church in Alabama, and
he felt that his call to the ministry
had been wonderfully blessed
The services yesterday morning
were held in the Christian church, bu
it again rained about the hour that
! services were announced.
Last night the meeting was and vii
hereafter be conducted in the Collier
building, just across the street from

DEATH OF Mr.. JAMES 3. BOR-
LAND

The news of the death of the above
named gentleman will carry profound
sorrow into many homes where this
paper is read. Mr.. Borland came to
Citra from Steubenville, Ohio, in 1873,
bought a fine tract of land, and it
was not long before he was one of
the prosperous orange growers of that
section. He married Miss Patience
Wilkinson, a member of a pioneer
family of Citra, and in every way
made himself a citizen of Florida,
becoming bone of its bone and flesh
Of it's flesh. Three daughters were
born of this marriage, all of whom
have now grown to womanhood and
all survive him. viz: Mrs. Talmage
DuPree of Jacksonville, Miss Louise
Borland and Miss Ethel Borland, of
Citra He is also survived by Mrs,
Borland, an only sister, Mrs. w. E.
Tonner, of Steubenville, Ohio, and a
brother, Mr.. Stanton Borland, of Fort
Myers.
Mr. Borland was prominent in
church circles and lent his influence
to the upbuilding of Florida in every
conceivable way. He was loved and
respected by his neighbors, and his
death is a serious blow to our whole
county.
His body was consigned to mother
earth Sunday, and the funeral was
quite large, many attending from
neighboring places. The grave was
covered with a wealth of flowers, the
gift OF loving friends-silent tokens
of their esteem and affection.
Mr.. Borland had been a sufferer
from Bright's disease for a number of
years, and since last December had
been in a sanitarium in Atlanta, He
bore his affliction with great fortitude
ana courage, and death was deprived
OF its sting and the grave OF it's vic
tor.
He was buried underneath the
soughing pines, near the fragrant or
ange blossoms that he loved so we'll

LAW RADICALLY WRONG"

Editor The Georgian:
/ have read with great interest
your editorial on Shall Sex Save
Women From Execution" and note
with deep pleasure and satisfaction
your expressed attitude on capital
punishment. Your statement that
men and women should not be done
to death by the state for crime is
at once pertinent and true, espe-
cially so with reference to women
Why? Because the legislature
which enacted the law providing a
death penalty by hanging, for muir
der did not have in mind the COM
paratively few crimes of that ma
ture which have been committed by
women. Go with me, if you please,
into the halls of our legislative bod
les and listen to the word pictures
painted there. and you will OBJ
serve that the image silhouetted
on canvas is that of the expectant
offender who, with reference to
murder. is man. Were women the
only offenders. with their compar-
atively few crimes along this line,
such a law would not be in exis-
tence today. If this be true, does
it not open up an avenue to those
in authority for an application of
the spirit rather than the letter of
the law The trainers and enactors
of this law had in mind what? The

Language of Eye Is the Most Effective

THE eye is the great educator It
is 50 wonderful in it's work
that from time immemorial
men have ascribed mystical powers
to the eve,
1t not only gathers knowledge for
its possessor but it dispenses
knowledge from him to others. You
can generally read in a mans eye
what he is, and what he is thinking.
1t is the window of his soul, and he
is so well aware of it that if he is
trying to conceal anything he first
of all endeavors to draw a curtain
over his eyes.
1t is an anatomical, and not sim
ply poetical. statement that the
eye is a window to the brain. A
nerve, called the optic" nerve, from
a Greek word meaning sight. starts
directly out of the brain behind the
eye, passes through a hole in the
skull, and spreads over the back of
the eye in the form of a screen,
called the ''retina," from the Latin
word rote, "a net" The ball OF the
eye is composed of transparent
lenses, which focus the light on the
reitna, just as lenses of glass might
do.

It Should Be a Habit.

Possibly your friend may blame
you for not having a well-kept ad-
dress book. But your address book
is not always at your hand. You
do not carry 1t about with you
when leaving home; and your let
tiers meanwhile follow you.
1t should become a habit with
every individual writing letter to
add the full address. 1t requires
but a moments work and time, and
may save the recipient of the let
ter hours Of irritation and annoy
ance.
The persons who write you let
ters on their own affairs, asking a
reply and failing to inclose a self
addressed and stamped envelope,
also are verging on the nuisance
line.
Because one who receives many
letters finds time precious; and to
be forced to give a letter a second
reading in order to remember the
address, and then to address the
envelope and affix the stamp all
means an unnecessary use of mo-
ments which are needed for better
things. And if a score of such let
ters come in one post, the offense is
magnified by each multiplication.
Therefore, one who asks the Ia
vor of a reply from any one save
rho most iI1+ir,7o 70 fy~iavJ on ySAIo tive
should inclose the self addressed
envelope.

An American traveller has record
ed a curious instance of the in
stinctive belief of uneducated peo-
pie in the mystic power of the eye.
He happened to have a glass eye,
and when he was living in Japan
he used to take it out at night and
place il in a bowl of water at his
bedside. Presently he began to no
tice the extreme respect with which
he was treated by his servants.
Then he found that a crowd would
frequently gather i'm the street he

Nothing else can strike so hard a
blow, or exercise so winning an

and discovered that his servants
had been telling their friends that
their master had a magic eye which
he took out at night and placed be-
side his bed to keep watch while he

interesting and very informing.

of a telescope composed of a vast
number of lenses, all focused at a
common point. Such a telescope, if
practicable, might be made of enor-

would appear that the lenses of the
