A Visit to Lake Weir
For some inscrutable purpose God
created more water than land, and for
se purpose OF adornment he dotted
the land over with lakes and rivers.
Whenever these lakes and rivers
are seen the poetry in ones nature is
aroused. and he bursts forth into mel
ody and song.
Some of the lakes that Cod has
mercifully scattered over the land are
so large that they are called inland
seas. but it is the little ones tina have
attracted the most attention from
travellers, sight-seers and men famous
in literature. and they have thrown
q beauty and a glamour around them
that have made their names familiar
in every home.
Who in all the world has not heard
of Lake Gennesaret? Yet, at its GREAT
est width it is only six and three
quarter miles, and its beauty is mar
red by the river Jordan running
through it, and in its natural features
there is little variey Of beauty, but
every spot OF it has charm that at

and because OF which it is held in az.
fection by the Christian world

miles to less than four miles. It's PEI

Rhnie, a muddy river, emptying into
it, and in the winter 1t is oftimes held

king.
Lake Killarney, made famous by
Scott and Burns, is composed really
of three lakes. and the largest of the
trio is only 21z miles long. and less
than one mile wide.
The celebrated Lake Como is not
more than one or two miles at its
greatest width, and it's beauty is
marred by the waters of two rivers
into it.
But Lake Weir, at our verv doors,
is ideal-is flawless There Is nothing
to mar its beauty. It Encompasses
the beauties of all the Others, minus
their Disbursements. It is almost cir
cular in form. and is about five niles

GEN. PERsHlNG PRAISES
Y. M. c. A. WAR WORK

AS the former Commander-in-Ch Chief
OF the American Expeditionary For
ces, General John ]. Pershing ac-
knowledged the debt owed not only
by the former service men but by
the country to the Young Mems
Christian Association for the work It
did in France. His acknowledgements
were made at the thirty-fourth an.
nual meeting of the International
Committee of the Y. NJ C. A at the
Waldorf Astoria the, first get-togeth.
er meeting since their suspension on
account of the war.
General Pershing was outspoken in
saying that some OF the criticism di-
rected against the Y. NJ. C. A be.
cause of its alleged shortcomings in
France, was unjust, and he made It
plain that organizations of a rival
nature fastened to take advantage of
this criticism. He explained that the
Y. NJ. c. A. had taken charge Of the
army canteens at his direction. and
that the inability OF the Y. M. C.
A. to provide canteens with adequate
supplies was due, first, to the fact
that the tonnage originally allotted
to the Y. NJ. c. A. had to be de.
creased as tonnage became more
scarce, and to the difficulty OF in.
creasing its personnel with efficient
workers to keep pace with the ar
rivals Of forces in France.
General Pershing was the principal
guest at the meeting, which was ar
ranged by committee including A.
c. Redford, Cleveland II. Dodge, d,
Hunter McAlpin, Herbert l.. Pratt,
william J. Schieffelin. James M.
Speers. William Sloane and Alfred
f. Marling. who acted at toastmaster
ut was in the World War that we
came in closest touch with the or.
ganization.' said General Pershing.
"Your representatives were already
in the field when our advance troops
reached France. They were ready
and anxions to be of every possi-
BILE service. Supported by your pa
triotic membership here at home and
under the leadership of that able ad-
ministrator. Mr.. Carter, the organi-
cation began to expand at once to
meet our needs.
1--WE all had our hands very full in
those trying days. The army had to
be organized. and great general
staff had to be built up to handle
the multitude OF details as to plans
of operations. supply and transpor-
tation. II was in the midst OF these
operations that ! called up Mr.. Car.
