Scenery Is Magnificent.

The scenery Of Madeira is on a mag
nificcnt scale out Of proportion to the
thirty-mile island.
one ridge rises to more than 6,0O0
feet, and one valley especially, Curral
das Freiras. has the luXuriance ana
charm more TO be expected Of the trop-
zeal islands Of the East. Steep rugged
cliffs mark the greater part Of the
coast: and on the low ground about
the occasional bays and widened can
vons that open TO the sea huddle tiny
towns.
Possibly MADEIRA and the few small
islands which make up the group were
known TO the Phoenicians and later to
the Moors and the Genoese; bVt al
records Of their existence-unless
vague legends be considered-had been
lost by the beginning OF the flfteenth
century. In 141S or 1910 storms drove
Portuguese mariners to the Islands
and they were therefore the first or
the numerous small Atlantic Islands 10

nor the relatively large Madeira, that
was found. A colony was founded on
the jsIet and remained many months

Memorial Services For
Former Old South Pastor

Sunday. Dec. II, at the Old South
Church there was held a memorial
service for the late Rev. John r.
wilkins, former pastor of the
church. whose sudden death year
ago saddened not only his personal
friends and the members of his
church and parish, but the entire
community None who knew him
but felt that an influence for good
had passed from our midst. He had
made many personal friends outside
or his immediate church circle and
had made himself felt in civic af-
fairs on the side of the good and
true.
SO vivid is his memory in the
minds of his church and parish that
it would have been impossible for
the anniversary to pass without OBJ
servance. A simple and fitting cere-
mony of prayer and brief eulogy
marked the occasion. A pleasant
feature was the reading by Mr.. Win
gate of letter sent to the church
by the pastors of the local churches
who had known Mr.. Wilkins and

Special Christmas Exercises
At Maria Clark. Grammar

The new grade at Maria Clark
under the direction OF the teacher
Mrs. Bullock, had Christ mas tree
with special exercises that showed
much thought and preparation. The
other grades of the building had
equally good special exercises and
Christmas postofficCs. in which the
Christmas mail was of quantity and
quality to delight the pupils. Nor
were the teachers unrcmcmbered.
Santa brought them pleasant tokens
oil their pupils esteem.
And it would seem that the young
steers of Maria Clark tackled this
Christmas proposition from the right
end. 1t took two loads TO carry the
vegetables and foodstuf1s that their
generosity had contributed to City
Hall where the w. G. #. L. are to
send out dinners They gave NOSE
