Mesting } SR BB DB R DORPEDDY PR S Bbidfoddobddudd DB BB H4 Dr. Woodward spoke as follows at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon: “Mr. ('huirmun‘ Ladies and Gen- tlemen: I count myself happy in having some part in these begin- nings of the Y. M. C. A. here in Lakeland. Its growth has been phenomenal. Starting in a Sunday school class, the first meeting in an upper room, the second meeting too large for the room, and now holding its third meeting in the Auditorium. The growth reminds me of a story I heard a Methodist minister relate at a banquet. An agent wished to sell some land. The prospective buy- er asked if it was productive. The agent said when I plant these cu- cumber seeds you run. The man could not outrun the vines, naviga- tion was impossible, and reaching into his pocket for his knife to cut the vines ffom his legs, he found a full grown cucumber. It does not require a very bold prophet to pre- dict a glowing future for this asso- ciation. “Horace Mann, eminent educator, delivered an address at a reforma- tory for boys. In his address he said, 'If only one boy is saved from ruin it would pay for all trouble and cost” When asked if his statement was not extravagant, ‘Not if he were my boy,’ was the answer. These people who are giving their time, money, and thought to this movement have a vision of what it will mean to save one boy from ruin. The safety of a city depends on the young manhood of the city. ‘Except the Lord keep the city, the watch- man waketh but in vain.” When the king of Asia Minor came to visit the king of Sparta, he asked where were the walls of the city. The king replied, ‘Wait till tomorrow and I will show vou.” On the morrow he led out his army of Spartan soldiers, fearing neither man nor devil, and said with pride, ‘These are the walls of Sparta.’ If the manhood of Lake- land decay‘ the walls go down. You have a good city; may it be kept so, “May you never have a saloon to curse you; may you soon have a Y. M. C. A. to bless you. T thank you.” Professor Jones spoke as follows: Mr. President and Members of the Y. M. C. A. Movement: When the president of this Y. M. C. A. movement requested me to talk this afternoon I offered many excuses knowing that there were others who could do much better. However, I appreciate this invitation to talk to the young men and those who are older grown and the confidence which has been reposed in me I shall not abuse in the way of a long talk. If what I may say will contribute anything to this great movement or have a tendency to do any good in ‘of its youth. any direction, then my mission here will not be in vain. Every movement shculd have for its purpose the betterment of the next generation, for the strength and safety of not only this mwn' but the county, the great common- wealth of Florida, and the greatest nation on the face of the earth which is our own United States, con- sist in the virtue and intelligence Upon their shoulders will rest the responsibility of this great ship of State. The one that was launched years ago upon that perilous voyage and upon that great wave of progress and whether she anchors safely in the harbor will depend largely on the training of her pilot, her engineer, and the loy alty of the workers on board. The safety of this great ship lies at the foot of the cradle which is the bul- wark of our national pride and thrift. It is the seminary of all other institutions. Six things are necessayy for a good home. Integrity must Jm the architect, and tidiness the upholsterer. It must be warmed by affection, lighted up with cheer- fulness; and industry must be the vvntllnmr' renewing the atmosphere day by day to make it healthy; while over all, as a protecting can- opy and glory, nothing will suffice except the blessing of that great Teacher who watches over all. A home of this kind will send out a good citizen, a good student, a good Christian worker, and a good pilot. No nation can rise higher than the standards of its homes. In this ideal home lies the strength of a nation, especially of a republican nation. When that home fails to make men out of her boys, and women out of her girls then that home has failed. The school, the church, the Y. M. C. A., and other auxiliaries, must take up the work of this incomplete home. They MUST do it or the courts will be the last resort. In these homes, love is not; a place hounded by four walls; a place where they meet, eat, sleep and drink. They call this home but not so. These are the children who find a sweeter place than home. They are the wanderers upon the face of the earth. It is with this class that the Y. M. C. A. must give itself much concern. The Y. M. C. A. is the ship and the pilot, the engineer, and the workers on board" must come from these true homes of which T have just spoken. Another word through. This is a great movement; may it ever live and scatter charity and love around the youth of our town and around those who drift to Lakeland’'s shores, and some day realize its labors in the saving of a man. and then T am the seeds of e A S e oA o R o S i PN A e A e IO Moo A AR s e AN e R AR A S R MRS i S Wl Ml il St s Sl R e TS el s B o el e T B S e M t PENNSYLVANIA ANTI- SALOON WORK Philadelphia, Pa., April 7.—A state-wide conference of the Penn- sylvania Sabbath School Association began a three-day session in this city today.

WARMAN, POET OF THE ROCKIES DIED | CHICAGO TOOAY (By Associated Press.) Chicago, TIL, April 7.—Cy War- man, the poet and short story writer, died today after a long illness. Warman was stricken with pa- ralysis last winter and from the first outlook it was serious. He was born in 1855 in Illinois, and later went west and became known as the “Poet of the Rockies," BISHOP MANN'S VISITATION On Sunday morning, April 5, at All Saints church, the Rt. Rev. Cameron Mann, bishop of the Mis- sionary jurisdiction of Southern Florida, made his first visitation to Lakeland since taking up the work of this jurisdiction in January. While he is not well known in this district, having been transferred here from North Dakota, he is a man of striking personality and makes friends wherever he goes. He gave a forceful sermon at the 11 o'clock service on “The First Palm Sunday,” and had a large and ap- preciative congregation. The offer- tory was given, as is uslml, to the bishop's special fund. The announcement was made at this service by the rector that some one, name not given, would donate $500 to the rectory fund provided the remaining $1,000 be raised once. As there has been some money already pledged, it is thought that this will be an easy matter and we hope to have our rector pleasant- ly located in a little bungalow to he built on the lot by the church. As Bishop Mann had only the Sunday morning to spend with us, leaving on the 1:30 train for Orlan- at do, he expects to make another visi- tation soon for the purpose of con- of confirmation. While here he was the guest of the family of Mr. C. G. Memminger. CHURCH REPORTER. ferring the rite HEIR TO THRONE ILL St. Petersburg, April 7.—The Im- perial family will leave today for the Crimea.

J., April 7.—The Federal grand jury, which meets here today, will consider the case of Samuel Barr, charged with writing a scurrilous letter to President Wil- son.

The adfec- tives applied to the president were what caused Barr's arrest. When ar- raigned before United States Com- missioner Richard Stienton, he was released until today under bail, REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS (Furnished by the Security Ab- stract and ’[“illu Company.)
