But we hav • all long amee/learned that the system of itiin racy used by the Methodist c nir.-li demonstrates a wisdom that worus out marvelous success (with perhaj nou anil then a rare exception l, lor hotn the ministers ami the fields in they labor, so that not only they, but oilier Interested (oiks as well, willing iv accept these changes aa foi the church at large.

During his stay here, Bro. Dutill by his consistent, upright life, and un-tiring devotion to duty, has won the highest esteem and confidence of all who know him. His work In this . gregation has been characterized by such a substantial growth In departments of church work, as that it has placed the Live Oak charge next to the strongest and best charges in the Florida Conference. His work as I pastor among the poor has also been fruitful of much good—the kind of good that doesn't get into statistical reports, but the kind of good that Im-mortalizes the name ol the faithful shepherd Of the Hock long after h ■ has ceased to live. Along the by wa: a he diligently sought out anil reHaved as far as he could, those who wire in want or distress, and many of them, b] his minis try. he lifted into a better life. As a pi a. her ol the gosj -1 he rlpttiral, strong' and lorcefui. and his utterances are unmixed With com-promises and contain no uncertain sound. Personally, he is a most amiable character, whose genuine sincerity ii' always seen by those who come near him. He is possessed of that becom-ing modesty that eliminates egotism from all of his doings, and as a man of God, he quietly moves along, bless-ing the world with a ministry of love and unstinted Christian service. As a mark of the esteem in which Bro. Dutill is held by some of the men of our town, the camp of th» W. O. W. last week presented him with a handsome suit of clothes as the last testimony of their appreciation, and on Sunday morning the lodge of I. O. O. F. of this city had him to deliver to their body in the church, a special sermon before be would go hence from them. We commend bmi and his family to the good people of Palatka as be-ing in every way worthy of their con-fidence and esteem. We believe they will .lo a work in that city that will abide through the years. MID-NIGHT SERVICE AT CALVARY CHURCH At ! 1.30 p m. a service v. m be held in Calvary Church. It will be Open-ed by the Litany Hymn sung by the choir. The utany will then be said bj the re. lor and people as an act of lamination and of confessing the mistakes and short-comings of the year 1907. Is there any better way to close this old year? Let us come and in the face of God put ourselves right with Him. As the war 1908 starts the church bell shall ring. The rector shall preach upon the subject, "A Happy New Year." As New Year's Day Is the Feast of the Circumcision, Holy Communion will be administered. This feast is known as "The Odin.- ol the Lord." The eighth day after His birth our Lord was circumcised and thus by per-fect obedience lo the old law He pre- Himself to establish the DOW, Having been circumcised He war, rec-ognized by the -lews in covenant rela-tionship with God and His Church. The Church in this festival, commem-orates our Lord's perfect obedience. The ecclesiastical color is white. Mr. Grey Steele will sing a SOlO— "Crossing the Bar." All are cordially invited"to come and worship with us. Why not start the year 1908 right? Start right and keep it up is the way to make It happy. SPRING MILL THE GEM Join the merry crowd that frequents the Gem and hear the popular Ger-man comedian, Willy Clark. Clark is one of the best comedians In the State of Pennsylvania and has pleased his audiences everywhere he has gone. In addition to Clark you see the lat-est and best of moving pictures and illustrated songs all for five cents.

Seriously, when you do mal:.- a reso-lution make it in the privacy of your own soul, tell it to no one. Why? Because if you do tell it, to teach con-fident will come either to one of thes* two thoughts: "Oh, he won't keep it," or "I hope he does stick to it this time." One is the positive negative the other the damning, half-heated wish of the doubter. Thoughts are thlugs, you know, and those thoughts will surely affect you. Remember. whatever you set out to do in this year 1908, keep It to yourself. After you ha\e written 1907 a num-ber of time and have said "Oh, pshaw." a few times you will remembe • that it is 1907—1 forgot—I mean 1908. Resolve to resolve nothing, as it brings obstacles to it. Just do it. Walk straight yourself. There is nothing so powerful as examp'.t. Taking New Year's as a day tc make resolutions, suppose yo-i adopt this little creed of Robert Louis Stev-enson's: To be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and to spend a little less; to make upon the whole a family hap pier for bis presence; to renounce, when that shall be necessary, a.-id not be embittered; to keep a tew friends, but these without capitulation; above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself; here Is a task for all that a man has of forti-tude and delicacy. The Conshohocken Bijou will show "HOOLIGANS OF THE] WEST," a thrilling picture, showing a fight h t ween the Indians and Cowboys, other pictures will also be shown on Wed-nesday and Thursday evenings, and a matinee on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

During his stay here, Bro. Dutill by his consistent, upright life, and un-tiring devotion to duty, has won the highest esteem and confidence of all who know him. His work In this . gregation has been characterized by such a substantial growth In departments of church work, as that it has placed the Live Oak charge next to the strongest and best charges in the Florida Conference. His work as I pastor among the poor has also been fruitful of much good—the kind of good that doesn't get into statistical reports, but the kind of good that Im-mortalizes the name ol the faithful shepherd Of the Hock long after h ■ has ceased to live. Along the by wa: a he diligently sought out anil reHaved as far as he could, those who wire in want or distress, and many of them, b] his minis try. he lifted into a better life.

Personally, he is a most amiable character, whose genuine sincerity ii' always seen by those who come near him. He is possessed of that becom-ing modesty that eliminates egotism from all of his doings, and as a man of God, he quietly moves along, bless-ing the world with a ministry of love and unstinted Christian service. As a mark of the esteem in which Bro. Dutill is held by some of the men of our town, the camp of th» W. O. W. last week presented him with a handsome suit of clothes as the last testimony of their appreciation, and on Sunday morning the lodge of I. O. O.

We commend bmi and his family to the good people of Palatka as be-ing in every way worthy of their con-fidence and esteem. We believe they will .lo a work in that city that will abide through the years. MID-NIGHT SERVICE AT CALVARY CHURCH At ! 1.30 p m. a service v. m be held in Calvary Church. It will be Open-ed by the Litany Hymn sung by the choir. The utany will then be said bj the re. lor and people as an act of lamination and of confessing the mistakes and short-comings of the year 1907. Is there any better way to close this old year? Let us come and in the face of God put ourselves right with Him. As the war 1908 starts the church bell shall ring. The rector shall preach upon the subject, "A Happy New Year." As New Year's Day Is the Feast of the Circumcision, Holy Communion will be administered. This feast is known as "The Odin.- ol the Lord." The eighth day after His birth our Lord was circumcised and thus by per-fect obedience lo the old law He pre- Himself to establish the DOW, Having been circumcised He war, rec-ognized by the -lews in covenant rela-tionship with God and His Church. The Church in this festival, commem-orates our Lord's perfect obedience. The ecclesiastical color is white. Mr. Grey Steele will sing a SOlO— "Crossing the Bar." All are cordially invited"to come and worship with us. Why not start the year 1908 right? Start right and keep it up is the way to make It happy.

Seriously, when you do mal:.- a reso-lution make it in the privacy of your own soul, tell it to no one. Why? Because if you do tell it, to teach con-fident will come either to one of thes* two thoughts: "Oh, he won't keep it," or "I hope he does stick to it this time." One is the positive negative the other the damning, half-heated wish of the doubter. Thoughts are thlugs, you know, and those thoughts will surely affect you. Remember. whatever you set out to do in this year 1908, keep It to yourself. After you ha\e written 1907 a num-ber of time and have said "Oh, pshaw." a few times you will remembe • that it is 1907—1 forgot—I mean 1908. Resolve to resolve nothing, as it brings obstacles to it. Just do it. Walk straight yourself. There is nothing so powerful as examp'.t. Taking New Year's as a day tc make resolutions, suppose yo-i adopt this little creed of Robert Louis Stev-enson's: To be honest, to be kind, to earn a little and to spend a little less; to make upon the whole a family hap pier for bis presence; to renounce, when that shall be necessary, a.-id not be embittered; to keep a tew friends, but these without capitulation; above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself; here Is a task for all that a man has of forti-tude and delicacy.
