Man Is not a mere spectator I'm the
anairs OF this world. Nothing is more
evident, In a careful study of Gods
word, than the fact of Gods depend
ence upon men In the accomplishment
of His will ON earth. Gods power has
usually flowed out through human
channels and His plans have always
depended upon men for their success.
This does not imply that God Is lin.
tied and could not carry out his plans
Independently of the help of men; but
1t does mean that Gods way of work
Ing is through human Instrumental.
ties. Perhaps the failure of men and
women to recognize Gods need of
them will account measurably for
their indifference to the church.
Gods organized working force.
The church is divine institution
constituted Of those who stand to.
gether to do Gods will and to accom-
plish His work. We have often won.
dered why Gods plans for the re-.
demption of humanity and the conse.
quent cleansing of society has not yet
been accomplished; not realizing that
IT is mans fault, not Gods. In every
generation God has been working out
His plans as rapidly as the lethargy
OF men would permit. His plans have
waited, His coming kingdom retarded
because men have not always been
ready to be used of God.
After seeing the statue of General
Gordon, as 1t stands facing the great
desert and Soudan at hKartum, some.
one wrote these lines:
"The strings of camels come in single
file,
Bearing their burdens DER the desert
sand;
Swiftly the boats are plying on the
Nile ixllMI I
The needs of men are met on every
hand.
But still / wait
For the messenger of God who com,
eth late.
l see the clouds of dust rise in the
plain,
The measured tread of troops falls on
the ear;
The soldier comes the empire to
maintain,
Bearing the pomp of war, the reign
of fear
But still wait
The messenger of peace, he cometh
late.
They set me brooding DER the des-
ert drear,
Where broodeth darkness as the deep.

est night.

est night.
From many mosque there comes the
call to prayer;
l hear no voice that calls on Christ
for light.
But still I wait
The messenger Of Christ, who conieth
late.v
When Christ came as the Saviour
Of the world, He came to do the will
OF the heavenly Father. His plans of
proclaiming the gospel contemplated
the use Of men. His first call was for
followers, and He spent the greater
part OF His ministry preparing His
disciples to carry out His mission.
Clothed with all authority, He said :
Go ye therefore and make disciples
Of all nations" The great facts of
His gospel were to be made known
through rhen-He made no other pro.
vision.

canning cannot be obtained at all.
On the other hand, the variety OF
fruits that can be raised about the
home is great. The committee on
home fruit gardens will probably
present a plan for changing this sit
nation. This committee should have
the active support Of every member
of the society, for any plan which
,ney may present because the. situa-
ton is serious one.
Florida is known as the land or
flowers, yet the planting Of flowers
and a neat arrangement of them about
the home is not as common as 1t
should be. The committee on orna-
mentals will have much to say con-
corning this situation, and those in
terested in making Florida the beauty
spot and the play ground Of the coun-
try will find this part Of the program
interesting and instructive.
The committee on fruit products is
pairing a program that every cit
rus fruit grower should hear. The
fact that G. E. Stewart, Jr., OF the
Florida Citrus Exchange is actively
i'll charge of the preparation of this
art Of the program is ample proof
that it will be worth hearing. Mrs.
Berry will make a demonstration Of
the use of citrus fruits in cookery
The wider use Of citrus fruits is a
subject in which every citrus grower
is vitality interested.
The committee On spraying and
dusting in the citrus grove will dis
! cuss the use Of sulphur sprays. The
use of the dry forms Of sulphur
sprays is one that has attracted wide
attention, and many growers are con-
sidering their use in preference to the
liquid form. Each has its advantages
and Mr.. Yothers will discuss these
Other insect and disease problems
will be discussed by the different
members of the committee. What to
do to control melanose Of citrus
trees is a problem Of serious import
ance thae will be discussed.
The committee on the management
Of citrus groves will report on a
number of different groves practices
Bees in the grove and the growing of
satsuma oranges will be discussed E.
The committee on deciduous fruits
will have program that will be of
particular interest to those living in
the more northern sections of Florida.
Some interesting papers on plums,
grapes and pecans will be prepared
The Committee on avocadoes will also
have program that will be of much
] interest.

The Salvation Army, because Of its
branches in every country in the world,
conducts what is probably one Of the
most efficient of detective bureaus. 1t
is the Bureau of Missing Persons,
which sends out daily alarms to all
sections In Its efforts to find those who
have disappeared
In the United States over 1900 in
Quiries for missing persons come into
the Salvation Army each year and in
spite of the meagerness Of the availa-
bic information, in spite Of the fact
that large proportion of those who
are missing do not want to be found,
In spite Of all the obstacles and him

Salvation Army each year.

Ocala, April 22.-The thirty-third
annual meeting of the Florida State
Horticultural Society will open a.
Ocala Tuesday evening, May 4, and
continue to and including May 7. A
fine program has been arranged, and
the people Of Ocala have promised
20 take good care of their visitors
The hotels in Ocala are: Harrington
Hall, Ocala House, Florida House and
number of smaller hotels and room
ing houses. There are plenty Of com
fortbale rooms for all The roads
leading into Ocala from the south are
in fine condition and it is easy to get
here by car.
One of the chief points of interest
about Ocala is Silver Springs. 1t is
well worth seeing 1t is one Of the
largest springs in Florida, and the
color effects to be seen in the bot
tom of it are gorgeous.
The complete program will be pub
lished during the week previous to the
meeting. One of the features is a
conference on the marketing of
grape fruit. The market during this
year has been entirely unsatisfactory
and some plan should be evolved to
improve it. Possibly a thorough dis
cussion Of the situation may lead to
action that will help remedy it.
The committee on machinery in the
grove will have some good material to
present. The discussion of types of
spraying machinery for use in the
grove will attract attention. The
spraying Of citrus trees has become
necessity. Many growers have
bought power spraying machines;
others are considering purchase.
The discussion and reports of exper
fences Will be valuable.
The committee on packing and on
shipment Of citrus fruits will discuss
new types Of packing house machin-
cry and the decay Of citrus fruits
The committee on fertilizers will re-
port on the Standardization of fertil
izer formulas end other phases Of the
fertilizer problem.
The subject of home fruit gardens
is one of serious Importance to Flor
ida.
Thousands Of dollars are sent out
of the state each year for fruit that
could easily be raised at home. In
a trip through Florida one Of the no.
ticeable sights is the lack Of fruit
trees about the homes. In many see
lions one can travel miles without
seeing q single house or cabin with
fruit trees in the yard. In many cities,
in season, Florida fruits for home

many others the Salvation Army is con-
