war vessels, had occupied up to 10

AT THE ZION CHAPEL OF THE M.
e. CHURCH THURSDAY NIGHT

The exercises at Zion Chapel NJ. E.
church Thursday night were in every
way interesting and more so because
like all colored gatherings there was
great enthusiasm, which is always
helpful to a speaker
1t was to have been a great temper
ance anniversary and rally but was
changed to foreign missionary rally.
DIR. ]. L. B. Williams of Palatka
was made master of ceremonies and
performed his duties in a most admir-
able manner.
His remarks were very lucid and
appropriate.
He introduced a DIR. Sherard, who
has held many important posts in the
church, not the least of which was
the eleven years he spent in Africa
as a missionary.
We have heard any number of SER
mons on foreign missions from many
distinguished men and women, but
never heard one more powerful and
soul stirring.
DR.. Sherard is a wonderful orator
and when he reached his climax he
had his congregation in a fervor OF
enthusiasm
After telling of the great awaken
ing in other lands he ended by tell
ing after the sleep of centuries of the
great awakening in Africa.
After the conclusion of the mis-
sionary meeting and several solos
and songs by the choir DR.. Z. Edward
Chace, mayor of the city, in a very
brief but most fitting manner, deliver
ed an address of welcome on the part
of the city.
In the absence of Dr. Gross, DR..
Herndon of the Presbyterian church,
welcomed the conference on behalf
of the churches His talk was along
lines that were in every way helpful
and fraternal.

FLORlDA'S CLIMATE APPEA

APPEALS

The countries with the warmest
summers are not always those farth-
est south. The countries in which
there is the greatest JOY in living are
those with the least extremes in eli
mate. A country of variety without
extremes appeals to all who do not
like the intense heat of the northern
summer, nor the bitter cold of the
northern winter To such the climate
of Florida is a JOY.
Peninsular Florida is approximately
SOC miles Ions and averages 120 miles
in width 1t is surrounded on three
sides by great bodies OF water. which
give it nearly l.500 miles OF coast
line. The people of Florida live in an
island atmosphere where the sea
breezes temper the summer days and
cool the summer nights, and the
warm Gulf stream flowing along
three sides of the state. moderates
the cold winter winds from the North
Proof of the virtues OF Florida 5
climate is in the recorded tempera-
lures which show that throughout
the summer the government stations
in the state have lower readings
both as 10 extremes and averages
than do most Of the cities of the
North. These same northern sta
tions show much lower readings in
the winter than do any of the South

Even this comparison does not do
full justice to the Florida climate,

THE SOUTH'S AMAZING AGRlCUL
TURAL WEALTH

The total value of the south's agri-
cultural products, including animal
products, in 1916, was over 1850
100000, or only per cent. less than
the total for the United States in 1900,
which was $1,000 100000 The south's
population is about 35,OOO,O00; the
population of the United States in
1900 was 75.900,O0O.
The total value of the south's crops,
emitting livestock, in 1916 was So
Cos, 100000, a gain of $1,072 ,2S0, 900
over the S2,5S6,022, 900 value of 1915.
This was a gain of Ala per cent.
Nearly Al per cent of the entire
crop value of the United States in
1916 was produced in the south, not
withstanding the very high prices the
western farmers received for their
grain.
This crop value of the south ex-
ceeds by nearly one hundred million
dollars the crop value of the United
States in 1902. and is only 10 per cent.
less than the crop value of the whole
country in 1905.
Owing to the flood which destroyed
the crops in some parts of the state
and the boll-weevil destruction Of
much cotton, Alabama shows almost
exactly the same total value for 1916
as for 1915, Notwithstanding the high
prices ruling. Every other state in
the south, however. shows a heavy
gain. In Arkansas there was a gain Of

Loyalty to the Fiag.-While travel

with much chagrin to gaze upon mon
uments erected in various cities ito

These men were brave men, and no
doubt fought for the cause they
thought was right, but after fifty years
we cannot help but feel that their
cause was wrong, and that they
should see it, and that the erection of
these monuments should not be per-
mitted by the federal government.
Hundreds of the boys in blue met
their death in defense Of Old Glory,
because of the desire Of the states
south of the Mason and Dixon line TO
withdraw from the Union. 1t is not a
question in our mind of how brave a
man was, but wholly a question Of
loyalty to the flag. An inquiry in the
south brings the response that the
southern states furnished as many
men, per capita in 1898 and in the late
troubles with Mexico as the northern
states, and while these responses may
| in a way be correct we cannot yet for

No. brave deeds shouI4 never be

To this end the remnant of the Con
federate forces that yet surviye-the
rank and file that made immortal the
names of Lee, Jackson, Beauregard,
Longstreet, Pickett and others-are
planning a great feat, feat without
parallel and unknown to history.
They propose to do what those il
lustrous soldiers failed to do-they
propose to march on the capital of
the nation and to capture it.
They propose to capture it in a
manner unheard of either in ancient
or modern warfare-they propose to
accomplish this brilliant maneuver
without the firing of cannon or the
unsheathing of sword.
They expect to make its capture as
memorable and more remarkable
than Joshua s capture of the city of
Jericho
It will be remembered that the sol
diers marched around that ancient
city for seven days together On the
seventh day they marched seven
times around the city, and on the sew
enth round, while the trumpets were
sounded and the people shouted, the
walls Of the city toppled down.
