SENIOR EPWORTH
LEAGUE NOTES
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
Where the race of men 90 by
The men who are good, and the men
who are bad,
As good or as bad as l.
| would not sit in the scorner's seat
Nor heed the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.
Alice Gordon Wynn.
This world is quite roomy place,
Whose joys we all should share:
But had | friends to fill the space
I'd not have one to spare.
Elsie Malone McCollum.
The Senior Epworth League has ap-
pointed the third Monday in each
month as the set time for the regular
monthly council meeting, and the third
Thursday in every third month for the
quarterly business meeting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Fraser have
joined the st. Petersburg league.
Here's where we envy st. Petersburg.
Efficient Lacquer Carroll Fraser
has his hands full. He has the first
department of the Ocala league in
charge and the assistant editorship
of the state league. Looks like a no.
pay job about the size of Hoover's.
President Dexter Phillips has set
the goal of the Ocala league at 100
per cent. Most of the Offices are in
active working order and in a short
time all of the offices will be active.
The present league membership is
Al and there is one Epworth Era to
every four members as is the require
ment for standard Epworth League
A Quiet Hour covenant will be or
ganized at once and covenant cards
will be on hand to be signed by the
leaguers joining the covenant. This
is a requirement for standard Ep-
worth League, and leaguers will6ind
the covenant to be helpful in the
great work of the league.
1t is suggested that leaguers read
the little book, Fundamental Doc
trines of Methodism," compiled by H.
H. Smith. This is a great little book
and is highly commended by Bishop
Lamberth. A devotional meeting or
two devoted to the study of this val
liable pamphlet would certainly be
worth while. Most leaguers have them
already, as DIR. Gross placed number
in the hands of leaguers short time
ago. They can be had for 10 cents
by addressing H. H. Smith, Ford Va.
This is the end Of the first week of
the membership campaign; only four
more weeks remain. The captains
should urge their sides to the front
and make good weekly returns. All
leaguers who have not received. their
pins should see their captains. The
campaign is progressing nicely and
each side ought to have a good score
by Sunday.
"Can't you tell me where I'll find
gold?"
Said the tender youth to the miner
old.
"They say the country in gold does
abound,
Yet | searched for days, and I've no
trace found"
"Here is a lot of rules, son, but none
seem to fit,
Colds wherever you find it"
"Where can genius be found? Is there
a rule?
Is it bred in the bone, or taught in the
school?
Shall seek in palace? Who knows
the turns?
Or in a cottage like the home of
Burns?"
"There's a lot of theories, son, but
none seem to fit.
Genius is wherever you find it."
William Hamilton Nelson.
The writer, Sam Hickel Jr., has
been appointed reporter, and Marshall
Bowler has been elected vice presi-
dent of the league.
The time for league devotional
meetings is $50, and if it must rain
Sunday, we suggest that the weather
prophet arrange his shower for some
other hour. We don't want leaguers
to look out about league time and say,
"Looks like it's going to rain; don't
think I'll CO." Maybe the nature of a
Methodist, tho, always afraid of wa
ter, with aversion to immersion, espe-
cially now when you might be taken
for a U-boat and get your periscope
knocked off.
