LAKELAND METHOD|STs
To MAINTAIN 4
CHURCH IN KOREA

In beginning his address on the
work of the Centenary Tuesday night
at First Methodist Church, DR.. j. l..
Neill, of Nashville, said that as he
had come up with the boosting Meth
odist preachers of the Florida Con-
| ference from time to time and had
heard their stories of the wonders of
this state he had formed an impress
sion that they needed to go to the
mourners bench seeking forgiveness
for their sins of exaggeration and per-
haps Misrepresentation. But, he said
/ since spending the past week in
/ Florida he had come to the conclu-
sion that these preachers had not
told half the story.
He said when he was boy he
formed an impression from what he
had heard of Florida that it was a
land Of large alligators, vicious mos
quitoes and orange groves. He said
since coming to the state he had seen
one little alligator about foot long,
one mosquito, and he would not I'M
dertake to describe the orange
groves that make Florida paradise.
He intimated that in finding Lakeland
he had seen the beauty spot of the
state, too.
DR.. Neill says the great centenary
work has scarcely begun, and he out.
lined many of the features of the
great movement, such as the work
for the lay preachers in providing
services at the churches where the
pulpits are vacant now because the
pastors are not able to reach them
all; revival in every church in ev
cry church in ever charge, large
increase in family affairs, etc.
i A statement that should be crafty
flying to Florida people was made by
Dr. Neill that the reports show &
larger number of tithing cards from
this conference than any conference
in the Southern church. He is O
the opinion that the reports will
) show an increase in the collections

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The Largo schools are all ready to
open Monday. The teachers are on
hand and the pupils ready, but, &C
cording to- the best information OBJ
tainable, you cannot buy grade books
anywhere in the county or State.
Even from the governors letter,
which he says he has written to the
county superintendent, you cannot
tell what books will be used, as no
proclamation has been issued setting
forth the adopted list.
The law provides that there shall
be an adoption of books in July,
This is September and the adoption
has not been completed yet. How the
governor and his cabinet can answer
for this. remains yet to be seen.
A great number of schools in the
State are attempting to use the old
books and the report from Hillsbor-
ough county is that about so per cent
of the children are supplied with old
books, the others have none. When
the new adoption goes into effect and
the new books arrive, the boys and
girls who have no books will buy the
new ones as there are no other kind
to be had. This will mean that the
boys and girls that are supplied with
old books will be forced to sell then
and buy new books, as 1t will be i'm.

er interest in the great work of the
kingdom. He suggested the building
of a church and parsonage and en-
ploying a pastor in Korea as the best
special for the Lakeland church. This
will probably be asked for by the
Church Cabinet.
Following the address by DR.. Neill
the church cabinet was called to or
der and organized by electing w. G.
Norvell as chairman, H. l.. Swatts
is the treasurer of the centenary
funds.
1t was decided to ask for the
church building and parsonage and
the support Of the pastor at Chulwon
Korea, for five years as the special
from the Lakeland church. It is UNI
derstood that it will cost $1,000 to
build the church, $500 to build the
parsonage, and the pastors salary
will be $1,000 year, or $4,000 for the
five years. The Lakeland church's
pledges to the centenary for the five
years amounts to about $4,000. A
request will probably be made for an
other special in the home mission

eign work in Tampa.

sheriffs the county ever had. He was

Pennsylvania railroad for a number
of years. Mr. German said advancing
years prompted him to resign the po-
sition.
