DUBLIN HONORS
DR.. ALLEN FORT
Memorial Held at First
ChurchHe Served AS
Minister

DUBLIN, March 15.---.A strong
tribute to the memory of DR.. Allen
Fort, who died at Nashville, Tenn, a
few weeks ago, was paid by the First
Baptist Church at a memorial serv-
ice held for him Sunday evening
This church was the first pastCrate
held by DR.. Fort when he entered
the full work of the Baptist minis
try, from Americas, and to the day
of his death there was a special
bond of friendship between him and
the members, especially those VIM
were members during his pastoratc,
DR.. {. d. Graves, the pastor, pre-
sided and several songs, old favor
ties of DR.. Fort, were sung by the
choir and congregation. Mrs. j.
Hughes Lord sang a beautiful solo
as a portion of musical program
Deacons j. B. Daniel, F. H. Rowe
and w. L. Joiner made talks on the
work and the character Of DR.. Fort,
all of them being intimate personal
glimpses of one of the greatest per
s0nalities and preachers in the en-
tire south. Rev. 7. Bright also paid
a tribute to DR.. Forts work III
Nashville. These talks were with
out oratorical effect, without great
display Of rhetd9ic, but were the eX-
preston of lov& and esteem for a
former pastor that will be hard to
duplicate anywhere in any church
Some of the tenderest memories of
the church members, or at least that
portion which were here during the
pastorate of Dr. Fort, center around
him and his four years of work with
the church, and the speakers Sunday

say that the church had become in

"a strange Voice in the Wilder

course which was of an evangelistlt

'All right" agreed Nick, who had
noticed something himself. He had
seen that the iceberg beenath had
turrets and towers and chimneys and
windows exactly like castle.
It was odd that an iceberg should
appear in the ocean right under the
twins as they sailed through the air
in their Green Shoes toward the cave
of the bad fairy called Snitcher-
Snatch.
Had they not been so curious, no
doubt they would have been across
the world in no time, and on their
way back with all the stolen toys. But
little folks are curious, you know, and
if you were to see an iceberg so near
to you, particularly one that looked
exactly like castle, I'm sure you
would wish yourelf upon it at once.
That is, if you had Magic Shoes.
Well, having Magic Shoes right on
their feet, and having the usual
amount of curiosity in their minds,
Nancy and Nick wished themselves
onto the iceberg without losing. min
ute.
Down they came, floating ever so
quietly through the air, and landing
on top of the roof. Yes, it was
roof the iceberg had, and the near
er the came the more it looked like
a castle. The twins discovered that
it was a castle indeed.
Round turret at that minute came
huge white figure growing dread

At last the twins were about to
escape from the under-sea palace of
the wicked Jim. With the aid of
their friends, the lobster, the crab
and the sea-cucumber they had found
their box of charms and the Magic
Shoes.
Nick was looking at his wonderful
Map which showed him the road to
the South Pole, when suddenly the
lobster cried, 'fThere comes the Jim
for his supper and haven't it ready.
l didn't know it was so late"
Yes, it was getting dark and the
Jim was sliding down from his ice
palace in the North on the Northern
Lights.
"Oh," cried Nancy, what shall we
do now, Nick? He'll take US prison
ers again."
But something happened Sam
Swift, the bird messenger, knew
where the children were and told the
Fairy Queen. What did she do but
cause volcano to apepar at that
very moment Up it boiled from the
bottom of the ocean (the lobster and
crab scurried away just in time) and
the lava turned to rock, which piled
higher and higher until it reached
the top of the waves and made very
safe little island.
The twins lost no time clambering
up and before the Jim could follow,
they had wished themselves far away
in their Magic Shoes.
An iceberg had broken away from
its mornings in the Arctic Sea and
was floating slowly southwark. AS
the twins were whizzing through the
air above it, Nancy's sharp little eyes
spied something, in fact, two some
things on the moving mass.
