District Secretary W. C. White, who has in charge the ar- rangements for the Jacksonville District delegation, is working hard to secure a representation which will be a credit to our city and district and he informs me that already a number have signified their inten- tion of making the trip. Special rates will be granted by the rail- roads in the event of a large enough party being made up and all regular- ly elected delegates from the Ep- worth League chapters will be en- tertained by the Lakeland people. Mr. White will endeavor to get in touch with all the chapters in the district regarding the conference, but will appreciate it if those in- tending to go will advise him at the earliest possible date, as it is neces- sary that he in turn furnish this in- 1 MUESTIC CONTESTANTS | swommscmoor. | AR[ wm“m“; “ARD Having received Inquiries con-l cerning my teaching a summer school, I wish to confer with any jone who may be interested.

New chapters are being re- ported constantly and old ones are taking on new life. Probably the most prominent work which the Ep- worth League is now undertaking is the support of the Southern Metho- dist Mission at Wembo-Niami, in Central Africa. The Epworth Leazues of the Florida conference alone pledged something over eleven hundred dollars to this enterprise during the past year, this being the largest amount of any conference pledge. The central office of the Southern Methodist Epworth Leag- 'ues is located in Nashville, Tenn., and is in charge of Dr. Fitzgerald S. Parker, general secretary, who jis assisted by J.
