PLEASANT AND
PROFITABLE
Entertainment for Men at the Meth
OdiSt Church Thursday
Evening

For Ocala TO take the lead in COM
mercialism among. the other Florida
towns in her class is an every day
occurrence, so it occasioned no sur
prise when the leaders in the Meth
odist church announced that they in
tended TO hold real banquet for
men only in the church edifice on
Thursday evening. April 23rd.
In response to invitations sent out
by the committee about eighty men
gathered at the appointed time to be
the guests OF the Methodist church.
The lecture room had been con-
verified into a large dining room;
three tables extended from one end
to the other and preparations had
been made for seating about one
hundred guests.
The north room used by the pri-
mary Sunday school classes was con-
verted into kitchen and serving
room. Beautiful ferns and flowers
and burning candles decorated the
tables and the entire banquet room
The evenings program began by
the invocation of a divine blessing
by Rev. w. H. Dodge of the Presby-
terrain church.
Mr.. l.. w. Duval, postmaster, an
nounced that during the serving of
the first course, consomme, Messrs.
NJ. NJ. Little, George Taylor and Dr.
L. F. Blalock would entertain the
guests with vocal music. This they
did in a most pleasing manner for a
short time, but when the actual serv-
ing began they joined the others in
supplying the demands of the inner
man.
The following program was car
ried out during the evening:

entertainment the banqueters gave a
rising vote of thanks to the good la
dies for their untiring efforts in
making possible such a grand spread
of the good things for lust mere
men,
, Inc MeJnOulSL DdHuuel was iHSLl-
, gated for the purpose OF getting the
men of the city more deeply inter-
ested in the church and church work,
and all the addresses during the
fevening had this as a theme. 1t Is

Walton will have an excellent result
and that the movement that is now
sweeping the whole country TO create
. more interest among men IN the
church has had a good start in
. Ocala
