SERMON BY PIONEER
BISHOP OF COUNTRY
Continued from Page One.

good will and love. Hold the trusts
committed to us firmly and patiently
and be ready to turn over, by and
by, to brethren who may be willing
to receive them, helps of reverence
and roundedness and historic an
chorage and American flavor.
The Dreadful War.
"Brothe Americans, the dreadful
war is blotting out or manning or
binding almost all the young man
hood of Europe. How gloriously
those young men gathered to the
colors, and how bravely they have
fought and died! But the exhaustion
of men and money there will put
added responsibility on us here to
stand by the missions. In awaken
ing China. In enterprising Japan. In
outcrying Africa. In devastated Ar
menia. God help us in our strength
which He gives us, to stand by for
help when our brethren of Europe
exhausted, distracted, almost de-
stroyed, cannot well continue, at
least for a time, to do so!
Brethren all, do not want to mar
this sermon by personal patchings.
But it is not personal, it is,-it is
lifted out of the personal, isn't it
for me to say to you thanks and
to give you my love and to ask you
TO take my blessing?"
Disnitaries Are Present
Among the most prominent church
men here today for the epoch max
ing general convention of the Epis-
copal church is the Right Reverend
Huyshe Wolcott Yeatman- -BiggS,
lord bishop of Worcester, England.
He is here as the representative of
the Church of England. The bishop
has two sons at the front, one COM
manding an armored motor car lent
the Russian government by Great
Britain.
Other famous dignitaries of the
church from all over the United
States and some from Canada are
on hand. Many prominent laymen
are also attending.
The committee which is to recon-
mend divorce laws more strict than
the present to the convention is
composed of five bishops, five priests
and five laymen. The report will
say: Divorce is increasing by leaps
and bounds and it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to determine the
innocence of either party to a
divorce"

The egg puncturc is Sit.like pit
large enough to receive the eggs. I'm

The injured fruit soon drops. After

which have Matched from the eggs,
leave the fruit and enter the ground
for pupation. If the fallen fruits are
destroyed and the ground under the
trees Is cultivated. most of the grubs

deeply, and deep cultivation is not
necessary. In Florida the land should

Adults winter in trash under the

Trees should he pruned. All dead
wood should be taken out, and the tree

this the milk obtained from two

PARA GRASS IMPROVES
NATIVE PASTURES.

Farmers who are looking for for
age plant with which to improve ma
tive pastures will find Para grass
suitable. According to A. p. Spencer,
district agent for the University OF
Florida extension division, it is well
adapted to improving nature pastures
which are subject to overflow. I'm
der such conditions it is perhaps the
best forage plant. 1t can be used for
soiling or hay, or it may be pasturej. .
If It Is to be used for pasture, animals
should Craze on it continuously to
Keep the stems from becoming woody
Il. A. Conklin, who has charge Of
the agricultural development OF the
Fellsmere Farms Company, planted
Para grass three years ago. He cut
the grass and disked 1t in. Now the
improved pasture is at least 100 per
cent. better than the native pasture
over the fence. Mr.. Conlilln has been
grazing horses, mules and cows ON the
grass.

EXCELLENT ADDRESS

An excellent Sunday school address
was made in the opera house yestcr-
day afternoon by the Rev. II. +.
Cooke. state evangelist for the Chris
tian church.
Mr.. Cooke divided his subject I'M
der the three following divisions, the
three "T's" us he was pleased to call
it: Take Men, Teach Men y
Train Men,"
. Mr.. Cooke handled his subject we'll
and it seems to he great pity That
an address Of this standard should not
have had a much larger number OF
teachers out to hear it.
