We do not see much reason for The
opinion that the route of the Tuscania
was betrayed by spies and the sub
marine was consequently lying in
wait. Submarines have been operating
in that locality for three years and
several ships have been sunk there. If
the route had been betrayed by a
spy, it is likely there would have been
two or three submarines instead of
one and concerted attack on the
entire fleet.

W. F. KING

On Jan. II, 1918, an all-wise Prov
idence called to his reward a we'll
known citizen of this part of the
state, Mr.. w. F. King, who resided
near Williston. :.
Mr.. King was native of Ohio and
a brother to the late Violet E. King,
who composed many beautiful hymns.
He moved to Florida many years ago
where he pursued his chosen calling,
of teaching.
Teaching to him was divine call
ing, not profession-a calling
worthy the best energy and thought
of his life. He began when but boy
in his teens and continued to teach
until his failing health prevented,
having spent nearly forty years in
the work. He held many responsible
positions in Marion, Alachua, Levy
and Sumter counties and filled them
faithfully and well. He looked upon
every pupil under his care as an OPP
portunity for doing good and spared
himself no pains in trying to make up
to them in any way he could whatever
he might find lacking in their natural
endowment or environment. He be-
lieved that "there are no bad boys and
girls, only bad conditions" and set
himself the task of lettering those
conditions. In the faithful discharge
of this task he wore himself out and
at the age of fifty-eight years was
called to scenes of higher activity.
1t can truly be said of him that
those who knew him best loved him
best. His ideals were the highest
and he lived the most unselfish life of
any man the writer ever. knew. 1t
was my privilege to know him as
teacher, having had three terms of
public school as well as three sum-
mer schools for teachers under his
direction and later as a next-door
neighbor and | do not recall single
instance in all those years where
there was an opportunity for kind
word of encouragement or friendly
act that he did not give it freely and
gladly. l have before me clipping
which he sent me in a letter about
two years ago for my encouragement,
which tells SO perfectly how he lived
that give it here:
The Wayside Opportunity
Watch for the wayside opportunity.
There is poor man; here is sick
man; yonder are the suffering and
Borrowing, the lonely and discourag-
ed; all around US are the sinful. For
them we may have some gift; to them
we may carry some message of COM
fort and hope; into their hearts we
may introduce the grace of God, which
brigeth salvation. Just seek the Spirit
OF the Master and live life under the
inspiration and power of that Spirit,
and the humblest, most ignorant and
of US may work nightly
for God and for humanity.-Balti-l
more-Richmond Christian Advocate.
He worked nightly for God by
serving humanity. There was no act
too small for him to perfor milf by
so doing he could tighten some others
load. He lived up to the motto he
was so fond of teaching his pupils:
Through this toilsome world, alasl
Once and only once pass.

II good deed / may do;
