MANY FROM MARION
Have Made a New Home on the East
Coast but Memory Keeps the Old
One Dear in Their Hearts

Fort Lauderdale, Feb. 3.-This is a
full nature day, done in tones of
mauve and gray, with tints of golden
light, and glints of blue. 1t is a day
that artists love the best and grouped
about the banyan trees across the
sound and beside the still waters of
New river, easels and brushes have
been busily engaged all morning, for
there are artists of much repute
spending the season here.
A sojourner spending Sunday in Mi
ami attended Trinity Methodist church
especially to hear DIR. J. M. Gross.
formerly of our city. DR.. Gross
preached from the familiar text "For
God so loved the world that he gave
His only begotten Son. that whosoever
relieveth on Him shall not perish but
have everlasting life" 1t was a great
sermon, preached by wonderful man.
For evangelistic, constructive thought
its equal had never been heard north
OF south.
DR.. Gross is looking unusually well
and is anticipating an early visit from
his little granddaughter, Bette Har-
ris. Other former Ocalans in the au-
dience were DIR. and Mrs. Fred Bla-
