CENTENARY OF
AMERICAN METHODISM
Edward F. Ley, Editor

Among the many benefits that our
common civilization will derive from
the Centenary Movement Of the
Methodisms Of North America, not
one of the least will be the closer and
more enthusiastic cooperation of the
Secular and Religious Press. Through
the past centuries the Pulpit and
Press have been considered the might
lest two forces in the advancement
of our civilization. They are so co1-
sidered today, and the future will
not detract from their prestige. In
deed one who can read the signs Of
, the times Is constrained to believe
that the influence of these mighty
agencies will be greatly accelerated.
But while there is a better adjust.
ment of the Pulpit to meet the
changed conditions of this wonderful
age, the Press, too. is more ready than
ever to enquire into, and give proper
publicity and emphasis to fundamen-
tails, or the basic principles Of our civ
ilization. The unanimity with which
the Florida Press offered to cooperate
with the leaders in the Centenary
Movement, while most beautiful and
fraternal is prophecy Of even larg.
err altruistic and Christian endeavor.
Ever ready to do its bit or best in the
advancement of our Commonwealth,
under the stimulus of the worlds emo
ton, its vista lengthens and the things
worth while are visualized as never
before.
In this connection 1t might be men,

Miami To Have Is Story
Beach Hotel To Cost A
Million And q Hall

Miami, March 17.-Eighteen stories
In height and costing practically on,
and one-half million dollars, the larg
est hotel in the south Is to be bull
On the beach across the bay from Mi
ami. Work will be begun this fall
and the palatial and mammoth hos
telry will be ready for the 1926
season.
Carl g. Fisher, president of the
Alton Beach company, Miami Beach
and j. A. Allison, will build the new
hotel, announcement of which il made
BY them today. 1t will be constructed
entirely Of steel and reinforced con-
crete and will be absolutely fireprooi
IS the floor joists will be Of steel and
the window castings also Of metal
There will be 300 rooms in the new
structure, and each viii, be provided
with private bath and embody every
service of the most modern estab-
lishment. The construction and
equipment of the hotel will be the
last word in every detail.
Tower 100 Feet High
Towering 100 feet above the ground,
the central portion of the hotel will
be eighteen stories high, this central
portion to be approximately eighty
feet square. Surmounting the tower
will be dome the tip Of which will
be 207 feet or about 10 stories, above
the ground. This will be gorgeously
lighted at night, and will be land
mark both by day and night, beacon
which the engineers declare can be
seen one-fourth the distance to Ha-
vana.
The wings of the hotel will be
eight stories high, and will have a
frontage on the bay of 700 feet. The
hotel grounds will extend from the
bay east to Alton road, with an area
of approximately Ia acres, to be
transformed into tropical garden OF
marvellous bloom and coioring.
Twelve hundred feet of docks will be
provided in the bay, with deep water
anchorage for scores of fine yachts,
for the owners of which many fea-
lures of the hotel will have been
especially planned.
Across from the hotel on Alton
road, there will be a nine-holf golf
links for the exclusive use of hotel
: guests. This course is now being
laid out, and the work will begin on
it in the near future.

torn world.
The whole church is becoming
awake. There will be campaigns and
campaigns. But right now we must
focus all our attention and efforts on
the thing that is on us-our Centen.
airy campaign. When We have car
ried that through successfully, and
after we have answered the call Of
our superannuates and our schools,
we may and should begin to prepare
for more general movements. Right
now, however, let US push our Cen
tenary campaign and remember that
it involves great spiritual revival
among us.
We think of this Centenary enter
prise as one Of the most magnificent
opportunities God has thrown in the
way of the Church. It is an oppor1
tunity for the Church to take the
place of leadership in the great cam
paigr Of peace and conduct a war
torn and spiritually demoralized
world into that democracy which is
with Christian faith and
service. Most unhappy will be the
man or woman who will have cause
to look backward over this mighty
effort to our Church and
say self-reproachfully: 81 had no part
in it."

I name of the new establishment, an(
this will be emblazoned by huge cleo
trio signs on both the bay and thu
east sides of the tower.
The site Of the hotel is that point d
land jutting into Biscayne bay just
south of Belle Isle, one mile north Of
the causeway, where it will command
a full and unobstructed view Of MI.
ami between Belle and Star Islands
Preliminary plans for the hotel
have been approved, and detailed
drawings are now being prepared by
Price & McLanahan, the firm o fPhil-
adelphia architects that designed the
celebrated Hotel Traymore at Allan
tic City. Ground will be broken next
fall, the structure is scheduled for
completion in the fall of 1920, ready
for the season Of 1928-21.
With the many and extraordinary
novelties that the new hotel will en-
body, and its completeness and per-
lection in every detail, it is expected
easily to rank as the most celebrated
hotel in Florida, that it will bring to
Miami Beach a prestige that will es-
tablish this as the foremost winter
resort on the eastern half Of the
American continent.
Mr.. Fisher said nothing as to the
probable cost Of the big hotel. but
engineers estimate that it cannot be
built for less than $1,50O,0OO.

HoPEANDLIGHT OF THE WORLD
Retrospective of the Elements That
Make for Good Citizenship


We have seen nothing better or
more comprehensive regarding school
closing days than the following from
the Hillsboro Sentry, which appeared
in the current issue:
During the past weeks the high
schools of the country have turned
out thousands of bright lads and las
sizes whose diplomas win duly certify
that they have creditably completed
the course prescribed, and out into
the big, wide pulsing world they go,
every foot lifted for the next higher
step and every face turned to that
golden west across which the bow of
promise is flung like bridge in fairy
land. What hurrying of feet, what
a movement of ambitious promptings
as these thousands of young men and
women enter the list that will turn
them to tests no textbook ever fur
nished There is pathos in these
graduating seasons. Many, very
many of the winners of these high
school diplomas are destined TO what
they and their associates regard as
failures. In the intellectual turney
for which they "sign" the first -four
ish of lances will send the weakest to
the wall, and along up The line of
march the way will be marked with
those unable to further respond to
the sullen Forward" sounded from
the front. In the educational realm,
we set single pace, swift as the
swiftest may travel, and then we greet
with a sneer the mentally slow who
find it impossible to take the hurdles
that line the path Nevertheless. we
wish the whole army of graduates
the fullest measure of our good wishes
and if they develop into good men
and women, then they have achieved
the highest possible success. Money,
fame, position, these are but incidents

else instead. That is always disap-

Have You Ever Noticed That Sometimes When You Get

TN the last few years, the world has
 been very much concerned about the = question of high blood pressure; tho state of physical being where the pres sure of the blood is above normal and nature thus gives warning that care of health must be observed if the welfare of the body is to be considered.
 There is no doubt about it, that very generally, people of today are living un- der exceedingly high pressure of every sort; nerves, mentality, emotions-all constantly excited.
 Doubtless the main cause of it is that upon every side, men and women are competing with automatic machinery machinery far swifter and more exact than human hands; machinery that is operated at the highest degree of power, until some part of it explodes. and is then thrown into the scrap heap"
 Nothing wears out any more-it bursts at the weakest point; sometimes it is patched up but usually the order "oft with his head is given like the command of the Red Queen. in Lewis Carrolls fantastic story, Through the Looking Glass.
