He has organized at Dixle- lend with about forty members. most of whom were not formerly identified with Lakeland Methodism. Hie has a good Sunday School there. The time I8 ripe for a revival which he will soon begin, and there |Ia every reason to believe that he will have a membership of scventy-five before the year is out. It will not be long till the little chapel will have to be replaced with a handsome church. The work was begun on the build- ing on Myrtle Street less than a month ago. The painters and plas- terers are now at work. The build- ing will represent about $1,500 when complete, and it is hoped to have it! entirely out of debt before the )elrl great Methodist is over. As soop as seats can be se- cured worship will be begun there. Myrtle Street will probably have a hundred members or more before the year is out, and a Sunday School of more than 150. Brother Steinmeyer is doing a great work. Methodism is growing rapidly, and the mission will not long be a mission.——Florida | Christian Advocate THIRD DEGREE ; \ GETS IN ITS WORK | New York, Feb. 6.—John Furrell |alleged bomb-constructor, after be- |inz remanded to the Tombs yester- day, made a sweepinz denial of the ' ~onfession credited to him yesterday He declared he knew nothing of the bomb that killed Mra.
