Although the great Commission

commanded them to preach the
Gospel to ''all nations, the dis
ciples were slow to carry the Cos

last Sunday we learned that the
Co pei had been preached in Sa-
maria, but the Samaritans were
regarded by the Jews as partly
Jewish. Phillip had also preached

received a message to send to

TUITION. WHICH HAS BEEN

Reproduced from Christian
Advocated


AdVOcate)
In the year 1868, Fleming
Street Methodist Church was or
ganized with thirty members.
and was known as Sparks
Chapel; named after Rev. j. o.
A. Sparks, its first pastor.
A new building was erected at
the corner of Fleming and Will
liams streets in 1887, under the
pastorate of Rev. w. H. F. Rob-
erts.. During the pastorate of
Rev. Sam Scott, the building was
remodeled and made very attrac-
tive both inside and out.
On October II, 1909, this build
ing was totally destroyed by a
hurricane, and for over two years
he congregation Worshipped in
Harris High School auditorium.
On the second anniversary of the
destruction of this building, work
was begun on the foundation of a
.ew Plant, which was completed
n 1912, under the direction of
Few. w. B. TreSca, the pastor,
and has since been known as the
Fleming Street Methodist up
town. Church. The present
building of concrete, valued at
$45, 100000, would be a credit to
any congregation. A new pipe
organ has been installed this con-
ference year, and a large con-
regation greetS the pastor each
Sunday.
This church is fortunate to
have as director of music Prof. T.
B. Klebsattel, who also directs
the music of the High School,
and Miss Marie Knowles, as or
Tanist. Miss Knowles is an &C
complished musician and we like
her work.

During the first six months of

Or. r. T. Tyler, our Presiding
flder, mighty in word and deed,
led all Methodism in Conference
Claims paid with 40 percent for

lne church to in turn lead the
Miami District. The Fleming
Methodist Church, of Key West,
led with 100 percent on Claims.

The drink providing the greatest
"wallop"-and resultant hangover
is found among the Quecha Indians
in the Peruvian montana region.
The name of this potent liquid is
"ayahuasca." Llewelyn Williams,
curator Of the Field Museum of Nat
ural History, described it after a
trip into the Quecha country.
1.-THE name 'ayahuasca' derives
from the dialect words ava, mean
ing death, and huasca, meaning
vine"
The drink has a rapid and vio-
lent effect on the system, Williams
said.
Ayahuasca is served by the medi-
cine man at tribal gatherings. Por-
tons average about a cupful.
In about two minutes the effect
of ayahuasca becomes apparent to
the bystander," Williams noted.
1.-THE drinker turns pale and be-
gins to tremble violently. He be-
comes very dizzy"
The second stage is "charming."
The drinker announces he sees land
scapes, fruit-laden trees, bright
featured birds and other beautiful
things in rosy world.
The transition to the next stage
is sudden and violent. The drinker
becomes unable to stand, and has
Authorizations of snakes, tigers and
supernatural beings preparing to at
tack him.
He howls and groans mournfully,
and screams unintelligible words"
the curator reported.
When the Indian comes to" a
brigade of friends must sit on him
or he will seize his weapons and at
tack the first person he encounters.
The final stage is the beginning Of
hangover of several days dura-
ton. After the drinkers friends
have held him down until the desire
to fight leaves him, he becomes
lethargic and lapses into uncon-
seriousness.
When. finally, the Indian recov-
ers, there is feeling of heavy
drowsiness and a headache which
lasts for several days"
The drink is used by the Indians
to eliminate fear and stimulate reck-
less bravery. 1t is described as
strongly habit forming"
