Mr. MacManus has been lecturing 011 this in America for the past twenty five years, and has done much to give to these ancient Irish legends a tangible form in which they may be preserved. The speaker is one of the last of the Irish story tellers.

He learned the classic tales from the minstrels and beggars who roamed the county of Donegal. Ireland, in the days of. his boyhood. From the age of. seven, he himself could tell these stories with much skill.

He has already put most of them into books, where they appear in print (or the first time. Like the traditions of many other peoples, these stories have passed for centuries from father to son and have bfeen alive by constant re pet it i 011 Last night Mr. MacManus told many fascinating which are familiar on Brunswick Records toric Washington bridge. i The Washington Elm fell Thursday, October 2 6th, 1 2 patriotic and historic organic zations all over the country have coveted pieces' of wood from this grand old tree. Under this tree George Washington first took command of the American army July 3rd, 1775, and when the army was in camp in Cambridge, Washington had a platform built among the branches of where he would sit frequently and survey the surrounding country.

Through the kindly interest of Mrs. Charles Barnes, Jacksonville, who is spending the winter in the local Chapter received the gift of a gavel made from this tree and it is needless to say that the gift is most highly prized. Credit is also due for this courtesy to Mr, John I). Graham of Boston who told the mayor of Cambridge about the Reverend Janies Caldwell. Chapter, and to Mr.

William F. Ross of Watertown, Massachusetts, who made the wood from'the tree into a gavel as an evidence of his patriotic interest. Accompanying the gavel was a letter signed by Honorable Edwin W. Quinn, mayor of Cambridge with a seal of the city attached certifying to the fact that the piece of wood is a genuine portion of the historic Washington Elm in Cambridge, which recently fell, and under which Washington took command of the American army. At the conclusion of the very able and interesting address 011 the part of the State Regent, she presented the gavel to the Chapter and it was accepted in behalf of the Chapter by the local Regent.

Mrs. Barr Brown. The members of the Chapter fairy tales feel most grateful to the friends in everv cor- 1 ho sponsored the gift of the his- ner of old Ireland, one of the Irish hero several animal stories. To many in his audience he brought back memories of the time when they heard those stories from the Irish seers. It is hoped that Mr.

MacManus can be secured for a lecture in this city next year, as he made a pleasing impression here last night.

The Bibie reveals God especially' interested in man, bis daily life, and requiring from him obedience and worship.

This is illustrated in the stories of the lives of Adam, Cain and Abel, Enoch and Noah. revelation advances thru the books of the Bible to show us God in a still more intimate relation to man, the guiding influence of daily life, as in the case of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Moses it advances still further and God gives more definite laws and instructions with regard to worship and sacrifices, especially insisting that there is only one God, and showing himself opposed to every form of idol orship. time went on, it became evident that the Mosaic laws were altogether too formakand that the people forgot the spirit of these laws and were satisfied in the observance of the letter. Then arose the prophets, who with great courage and conviction denounced the formalism of the laws, and taught that God did not want these and sacrifices without love and mercy and justice.

This brought about a long time conference between the prophets and the priests. final revelation comes with Jesus, who in Himself is a revelation of God in his fullness as father, loving all his children and asking fiom them that they should love him and perfectly trust him, casting out all impurity; that they should love one another without discrimination of race or color or station in life. God is a father, all men are His children, and therefore all men are brothers. we really want a true revelation of v. hat God is, we may find the answer in His Son, and if we want to do what God wants us to do, we will follow Dr.

Bigger of the Department of Entomology of the University of Illinois whose headquarters are in Jacksonville. Mr. Bigger states that the freeze this winter when the thermometer dropped to 20 degrees below zero, was entirely too severe for peaches to stand. It is also believed that many peach trees have been killed by the severe weather. Mr.

Bigger states that one spray of oil emulsion, which is a new spray, should be used by all fruit growers just as soon as the buds on the trees begin to appear. This will not only control the San Jose scale, but will also assist in doing away with the Aphis, which did so much damage last year. KAGLKS HKG1V PLANS FOI?
