President Rowton was deeply touch

no room for doubt as to his deep
feeling.
A Splendid Rotary Sermon
The address of the evening was
made by Rev. Milton Worsham, of
the Jacksonville Rotary club. He
took as his subject, Service Above
Self" one of Rotary's tenets. The
speaker declared his enjoyment of
the evening and his appreciation of
the splendid plans made for the en-
tertainment of the guests had never
been surpassed at any similar event,
and he congratulated those in charge
of the entertainment on their splen-
did accomplishments.
Rote Worsham spoke of the great
principle that Rotary stands for, the
same principle that the first and
greatest of all Rotarians, Christ,
lived by, that it is the great universal
service that makes men and betters
the world, and is religion in more
practical form. He spoke of the OBJ
legation upon each member, and that
Rotary could only do for members
just as much as they put into it. 1t
was a most inspiring message to Ro-
tarians and great light to those
who were not members.
Incident to the set events of the
evening were a number of informal
incidents. R. B. Boyd, district man
ager of the Bell Telephone Co.,
taught the Rotarians how to sneeze,
whether they had cold or not. FLEET
cher Burnett, president of the Gaines
vile club, Clifton Loveland, president
of the Palatka Kiwanis club, H. P.
Peterson, of West Tocoi, John Gan
non, past president of the St. Angus
tine club, and others made brief
talks, while some of the long-winded
Rotes were permitted to tell choice
funny story. Chief Mike Philips, of
the fire department, was booked for
reading on "The Heroic Red Shirt
Boys" but had not finished his tur-
key and was excused. Louis thought
Mike was going to speak and went
home early. Louis possesses rare
tact.
Roland Spearman then introduced
DR.. Horseradish, from Mars, who
diagnosed the past of several of the
Rotes, relating som secrets which it
had been hoped would be kept sub |
rosa. Everybody knew that Frank
Bruce had purchased diamond ring, |
but few knew that he had been mar
ried eighteen times when he lived on
Mars and had 339 children. Nor did |
many know what was really the
trouble with Bill Pearce until DR..
Horsecollar said he was suffering
with efflatus of the bean. DR.. Horse
radish also made some predictions
about Palatka's future, indicating
that it is reasonable to presume that
Bill Hart will be able to multiply the
number of registered voters here
-hree-fold in the next five years. He
iidn't saw how. DR.. Horseman also
rated on Rotary.
