It says that all the soldiers over there who kill each other go straight to hell for doing so. It 1s indeed sad to think of all those fine young fel_ ing such a poor reward for their pa_ ¥ triotism. They get hell in the trenches anq hell after they leave them. It's not fair to double-cross a poor soldier boy in any such fash_ fion as that. D i language which abound in all parts of the country, North as well as to speak of where one was “raised” ‘as where one was ‘“brought up?” When youw raise anything you bring it up, and when you bring up any- thing you raise it. The latter word has the advantage of brevity, and in all other respects is quite as good as the other. Some of us can never get over the little prejudices of our early environment and with unconscious pharisceism imagine that the stand- ards of our “bringing up” even in minute matters of speech, must nec_ essarily be the rieht ones and all others necessarily wrong. ey S The last issue of Dixie contains a fine picture of Col. Thomas J. Ap. pleyard, now State printer, of which big job he has made a marked suc- cess, with a brief sketch of his life; and it is worth noting that when Thomas was eleven years old he was a kid soldier in Lee’s army. Thus early in life he acquired the habit of fightinz-—fighting like a gentle- man, as Lee's soldiers always did— anq he maintained the controversial spirit ever afterwards in Southern Journalism until he sailed serenely into the snug harbor of the State printer's office at Tallahassee. His meaty and pungent paragraphs have been missed since he put off his fighting armor, for Thomas could say multum in parvo as well ag any man on the State press and could make himself as uncomfortable to an enemy as a hornet under his shirt. After ke gets rich doing the " State printing he is very likely to return to newspaper work, and meanwhile he is “keeping his hand in” by editing the Florida School Exponent and making a fine publica,_ tion of it. —_— A REMINISCENCE OF PENSACOLA BAY Ben Thomas gives an historically accurate description in the Pensa- cola Journal of a memorable trip made some years ago on the upper waterg of Pensacola bay in his motor launch, in which the writer of these Jines was his guest, and the rotten batteries broke down far out on the raging main and left the two un- fortunates exposed to all the perils of the deep. Ben was a veritable Mark Tapley on that occasion and he ‘“‘came out strong;” but when he says that during his absence, after he had waded ashore ang struck out through the wilderness for help, his partner cowered for hours in the launch, scared speechless by a school of porpoise which he mistook for maun-eating sharks, he trifles with the truth of history and does injus- tice to the sea knowledge of the ancient mariner who was his com- panion in that adventure. Scared indeed! Those porpoise came up and ate out of his hana, gathereq in a bunch, and with won- der and delight listened to him while he sang to them in organ tones “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep,” and along in the afternoon he peeleu off the textile artificialities of civil- *{zation, took a header in the bay and disported with his genial aquatic friends like the boys in “that ole — swimmin’ tells us about. flove go with them; A North Carolina paper has found * ! homeless hole” Whitcomb Riley Meanwhile Ben was stumbling, !

The memories of that day, as he lolled in the shaded launch and reached out a caressing hand to the gentle porpoise gathered about him, listening to his music and his con- versation, are simply delightful to 'this writer, but to Ben they must be somewhat otherwise. —_—— CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NEAR CHRISTMAS It is only ten days off. How are we going to celebrate Christmas this year? Wil]l there be any more gifts bestowed upon those who we know cannot afforg ‘““to exchange?” Will Plant City precincts? Are they mic. |tpeo presents this year mean more self-sacrifice than usual? Will more more gratitude “to the Giver of all good things?"l Some people as the years go by seem to grow selfish, and self-centered.

Just so the good work goes on, and into 1915. We could not get to a machine last week for press write-ups of the jJacksonville and Daytona conven- tions. But in coming general itemg will let readers know what was done in these well-known towns. For Northeastern district, Mr, Craw- ford, president, and Miss Edith Krook (now Mrs. Howard Gates), secretary, were succeeded by two de- partment leaders of last year. Leo E. Pettyjohn, address Y. M. C. A., Jacksonville, is president, and Misy Elsa Reinoohl, now in Elzey, teach- ing, is secretary. They are popular and enthusiastic young people who will do good service. As Mrs. 8. L. Jackson declined further service as president of Easi_ Central district, Rev. G. V. Al- bertson, of DeLand, took her place. A great many of us know him both in C. E. and Presbyterian Sunday school work. The secretary, Miss Edyth Bainter, of Kingstown, was re-elected after good records in last year’s work. Both conventions founa in Mr. Lehmann a great inspiration. He also held an evening service in Sanford, and met with the Tampa City Union, Wednesday, leaving that night fgr Alabama. It is surely good to know that Florida has passeg its $300 in either cash or pledges. Mr. Lehmann suc- ceeded in getting enough personal pledges for the fund when here, to make us the fourth State reaching its goal. “Sacretary Grace” had to cut shpfl. her recent trip, not getting to the deaf and blind societies in St. Augustine. But she is almost well again. Merry Christmas. GRACE A. TOWNSEND.
