Speak Tonight

Speak Tonight
With Rev. w. P. Burhman, presid- |
ing elder of the Ocala district, pre-
siding, and Rev. C. w. White acting
as host, Ocala opened her doors last
evening to welcome the ministers Of
the Methodist church in that portion
of the state which is known as the
Ocala district. The opening sermon
was delivered by Rev. F. H. Cham
pion, recently transferred from the
Arkansas conference and stationed at
Crystal River, with a good attendance
for the opening night as many of the
delegates and pastors had not arrived.
Rev. Champion used for his text that
portion of Exodus where Pharoah
entreated Moses to leave the children
of the Egyptians as they journeyed
out of bondage. He depicted Pha-
roah as the devil, the journey out of
bondage as the step from sin into
Christianity and Moses as the divine
] leader, dwelling upon the thought that
many professed Christians leave their
Ichildren and possessions in the land
of bondage or in sin and at the serv
ice of the devil.
DR.. Snyder will preach at both the
morning and evening services and
the people of Ocala should crowd the
church to an overfowing to hear thi;
distinguished man. Not only presi'
dent of Wofford College, but assistant
; general director of the great Chris
tian educational movement of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South
and speaker who has the reputation
of holding his audience. DIR. Snyder

There Is danger that we may soon

In general, says Boys Lite. In the
last few years chemistry has made
marvellous progress in manufacturing
synthetic havors. It is much cheaper
to manufacture the flavor of a peach
or an orange than to grow the real
fruit. Since we eat preserved fruits
oftener than the real fruit, we are in
danger of acquiring taste for an
artificial favor. Another generation
1t is prophesied, will object to the
flavor of a peach or pear as BEING
unnatural. An interesting test has re

me when lying on a bed Of sickness!
Many hours Of needful rest you have

me to love my good Jesus and warned
me so many times against His ene-

babyhood, my childhood, my girlhood
and my womanhood! How you
guarded the purity of my soul, lest
any faint of sin would mar it's beauty!
