ington, ID. c., at the time of organi-
zation in the national capital.

was a landscape gardener at Ger
mantown, Pa, and introduced the ma
val orange into the United States.

the founders we're farmer and clerk
in the U. S. Treasury Department,
clerk in the postoffice department
and member of the Masonic Order, a
teacher, preacher, clerk in the De-
partment of Agriculture, farmer ana
grape grower.
Some of the leading accomplish,

First Military Band.

Military bands first came into exist

II. That monarch had a partiality for
music. Anyhow, it was he who by a
royal warrant which he issued in that
year authorized the employment of
twelve musicians in "the company of
the kings regiment of foot guards in
London" Furthermore, in order to Sc
cure higher pay for the musicians than
was granted to the other Tommies of
that day the merry monarch very "hon-
estly" directed that a fictitious name
should be borne on the strength of
each of the other companies of the reg
iment quartered in the country" The
money received for the payment of
these Tommies who did not exist was
then divided among the bandsmen, a

Conferences at Citrus Seminar.

Growers who desire information
on individual problems will have a
chance to receive the best advice
available by attending the Citrus
Seminar at the University of Florida,
October II to 20. When the Seminar
was first given the attendance was
small and lectures and demonstra-
tions were given in the laboratories.
Opportunity was afforded for q great
deal of individual instruction. The
meeting has grown to such an eX-
tent, however, that round table talks
are impossible and the grower can
not discuss his problems with the in
structor in charge. A plan has been
adopted this year to remedy this de-
feet.
A series of conferences will be Civ
en-. These conferences will be grant
ed three or more growers who wish
more detailed information on any sub
iect pertaining to the citrus indus
try. An instructor will be assigned
them and a place of meeting will be
designated. These conferences will
be held outside the meeting hours of
Cne seminar ana announcements Will
be made in the general meeting so
that others may attend if they de-
sire.
This plan will permit growers to
obtain information on and to discuss
their problems with some member of
the Station staff or worker for the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. They will also be able to
hear the general lectures which will
bring up new phases of citrus culture.
Several new features have been ad-
ded to the Seminar this year. One
of the most important will be the
exhibition and demonstration of
spraying machinery. Exhibits of dis
eases and pests will be arranged diff
ferently and larger displays made

Christian Endeavor in September.

Interlachen now has a good Socie-
ty in the Congregational church with
Mrs. Bischoff as president.
The editor of The Winter Park
Post had an editorial, Nothing To
Write About" That is just the way
with US concerning good many So
cieties which lack press reporters, or
have some but they are on vacations
seemingly.
Mrs. H. A. Perry, treasurer, and
Miss Mary Morrison, secretary, in the
live society of Pomona, are having a
vacation at Daytona Beach. Hope
they will meet some of our splendid
Daytona Endeavorers of the Congre-
gational and Christian churches.
The last issue of "The kissimmee
Gazette" shows up well the young
peoples organizations, with news
items from the Epworth Leaguers and
Endeavorers, and a local item telling
of the visit to Kissimmee of Mr.. W.
W. Williams, State Secretary of the
B. Y. P. U. One thing noted in this
item was that Baptist Unions are
studying about efficient work just like
Endeavorers. No matter whether in
a denominational organization or our
interdenominational one, Christian
Endeavor, the same tools and methods
of work must be used for progressive
movement toward our common goal,
"Christ's Kingdom Come in the
hearts of all humanity.
Miss Spiah Reitoehl, in Jacksonville
and secretary for Northeastern dis
trict, is sending personal letters to
all her local societies asking them to
be sure to send good delegations to
the district convention in Fernandina
Oct. 27-29th. 1t has been very long
time since Endeavorers met there and
it should be a place that all should
want to 90. Sessions hold in the
Presbyterian church.
Every month there is some special
object for us all to aim to in success
full and growing work. For Septem-
Der every local secretary is to try
to get a report to Miss Ruth Coffin,
State secretary, in Johnstown, telling
if the month plan for Membership
Campaign was followed out, and how
many new members were obtained.
Be sure to do this and thus help Us
all to make a complete State circle
of up-with-the-times efforts in each Of
the eight districts.
Here is the list of convention dates
so far decided and town to be held in:
Lake City, Oct. 1926, for North Cen
tral district; Fernandina, Oct. 27-29th,
for Northeastern district; Daytona.
Oct. 3O-31, in East Central; Stuart,
Oct 31-Nov /, for SOUTHEASTERN;
Winter Haven, for Southwestern dis.
trict, Nov. 2-3rd; st. Cloud in South
Central on Nov. 4-5th; and for Central
district, at Sorrento, Nov. 9th. In
West Florida, such a large territory,
it is planned to hold two places, just
before the meeting in Lake City. We
do not ever remember of a year when
every district held its own convention
before.

Pumica Stone

Pumice is an acid volvanic rock,
which may be in either massive or
finely comminuted form. 1t owes its pc
culiar porous, vascular or pumiceous
condition to the rapid expansion of
included moisture or gases, due to sud
den release of pressure at the time of
its election from the volcano. This
expansion may be carried to such an
extent that the rock is completely
shattered. and the resultant finely
powdered material may be carried to
unknown distances by wind and air
currents and then deposited in beds
several feet thick.

Libelling the Prince of Peace.

Not content with falsifying the past
and misrepresenting the present, the
iingoes are even attempting to take
from Christ the title of Prince of
Peace and dress Him up in the garb
Of a warrior.
One of the most reckless of the
slanderers of the Nazarene says:
Had he been a pacifist after the
mind of Mr.. Bryan and the peace
movement He would have carefully
avoided the borders of Judea, would
have withdrawn into the interior of
Galilee, where He would have lived
safely among a friendly populace, and
would have died of old age-and
Christianity would have died with
Him." How bloody the world looks
to those who wear red glasses! The
author of the language above quot
ed-he writes for the North Ameri-
can Review and signs his name Sam
uel McComb-seems to have no con-
ception whatever of Christ's purpose
or teachings. He fails to distinguish
between the philosophy of love pro-
claimed by Jesus and the philosophy
Of Force, represented by PLATE. He
does not seem to understand that it
requires more courage to be desci-
pie of Christ than it does to be a fol-
lower of Plate.
The Christian is not a coward; on
the contrary, he is called upon to dis
play the highest form of bravery. 1t
is more heroic to restrain ones an
ger than to commit violence-"He
that ruleth his own spirit is better
than he that taketh a city,"
1t requires more courage to endure
martyrdom than to take another's life.
The Christian is warrior and al
ways at the battles front, but he risks
himself-not others. He would rath-
er be wronged than do wrong, and
seeks to "overcome evil"-not with
force but with good" The jingo,
unable to attack the Christian as he
is, pictures him as a molly-coddle
and then ridicules him. Christ was
energetic and red blooded; He taught
manliness and virility, but there was
no swagger in him-nothing of the
brute. He did not buster or threat
en-He conquered with love, and
preached the glory of service: "Who-
soever will be chief among you let
him be your servant"
The world calls for real Christiani-
ty today-the Christianity that Christ
taught. 1t is needed to bring the war;
ring nations together and to help
them to build an enduring peace on
the foundation of love and brother
hood-to substitute the spirit of CO.
operation for the spirit of combat. 1t
is needed in every country to inspire
that moral courage necessary for the
overthrowing of abuses and the rem
edving of evils.
The Christian does not "avoid Ju-
dea," no matter what dangers may
threaten there-he goes, as Christ
went, wherever there is work to do.
He goes "to save mems lives, not to
destroy them," and he risks any harm
that may come to him while in the
path of duty. He puts on "the whole
armor" and flights the good fight
