JACKSONVILLE ~ - ANO'THf REUNION Veterans Wili Find a Modern, , Progressive City ? Many Point? of Historic Interest To Bo Visited By Survivors of Gray Army During Week. Jacksonville, Fla.?When the Con federate veterani and their Mauds as seuibi? here fur their 24th armaar re^ union, they will be introduced to n city and community, pioud of the present and loyal to the ideals of the old South. Making Jacksonville. the hub of a Kltewl twenty-five miles in diameter, _ a territory Is covered rich in historic associations and Interest and at the same time a fit exponent of all that la progressive in the,Southera_States. Jacksonville Is a city of 85.0Q9 popu lation, with handsome business blanks, modern skyscrapers, commodious ho tels and residence sections that com pare favorably with the best in the country. The city's business has grown Into large proportions, embrac ing every line known to a modern city. Jacksonville of to-day Is in all respects a thriving center of trade and commerce, mufh of Its commerce going acrosa the seas lntb foreign countries on ocean steamships. Its transportation facilities are superb, both by rail and water. * Railroads ^feeding the great Florida Peninsula center here. Thousands of tourists and uncounted tons of freight pasa through the city and port every year, the one hunting health and pleasure, the other scattering out over the civil Ised world to do Its part In supplying the demands of the consumers of the earth. And while the visitors are enjoying this view and prospect of modern business and community thrift, they will be given an opportunity to look down the past three hundred and fifty years. All of this territory was In dis pute three and a half centuries ago between the French and 8panlskt with the wild Indian holding the balance of power between the combatants. The Frenchman and the Spaniard both laid claim to the Florida territory. Which waa first to discover It Is a matter over which historians differ, but it Is well authenticated that the first white men to act foot upon the soil now cov ered by Jacksonville were Frenchmen under Rene Laudonnere. The first white man to enter the mouth of the St. Johns river was Jean Rlbault, In command of a com pany of Huguenots, who had left France because of religious persecu tions. He made his landing on May 1, 1562, fifty years after the landing of Ponce de Leon.at a point to the south of Jacksonville. Som? histori ans are of the opinion k tkat Potice d? '-eon sailed as far north as the ikouth of the St, Johns, but the weight of evidence Is against thia opinion. If hi were here he left mo ttac?. Tke evidence la that he did not travel In a direction from his original landing tkat would have brought him to the vicinity of Jacksonville. It la thor oughly established that Rlhanlt en tered the mouth of the St Johns river May 1, 1562, and sailed up the river eome mile* to a bluff, where he erect ed a stone column on which wax in scribed the arms of France. Bu& Rl bault did not aacend the river aaTilgh ?a Jacksonville. He went from the mouth of the river to Port Royal." S. C. In 1644, one year after the depar ture of Rlbault, Rene Laudonnere, who had been with Rlbault on the' first*expedition, came to the mouth of the 8t- Johns~fcith another colony of Huguenots, and ascended the river aa far as the present site of Jacksonville, camping probably on the south side of the river on territory now covered by South Jacksonville. These were tke first white men to penetrate the country above the mouth of the river. In honor of the day of discovery May 1, Rlbault gave Uieriver the name of May, and this stooJTgntirthe Spin tarts whipped out the French, some years later. - The Spaniards called''It tke R|ver San Mateo atirst, but later changed Its name to San Juan. From tkia It finally became the 8t. Johns. Old Fort Caroline waa altuated at St. Joha'a bluff some miles below the city of Jacksonville. No sign of this historic fort remains, not even a slab ^?^commemorate its mournful story. r During the reunion, steamboat ex cursion will-be run to all these points ? hlatorlo Interest on the St. Johns ^ I* but twenty-seven miles Drop Jacksonville to the mouth of the ? wher? tbe government has constructed, with the aid of Jackson ville, and the Bute of Florida, a ays tarn of Jetties, deepened the water ok tfce bar and otherwise protected navl ?Mioa. la passing between Jackson vllle and tke lefties, the visitor will hav no troable locating the site? of old forts tkat were erected nearljtfour hundred years ago by th. French and Spanish. The trip Is one of the most delightful In tke Southern States.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. v ? Text of "th# Lesson, Luk? xv, 1-10. Memory Vers??, 8-10?Golden Text, Luk? xv, 10?Commentary Prepared by R?v. D. M. Stearns. There was something In tils teaching -wtiK3rre?0Uim ma IWIU of I&Me fruET ?leans and sinners who were so de spised by the self righteous l'burl sets. He was full of grace and truth; they knew the truth that they were sinners and they needed the Brace that was 1? Him. He taught as on? having author* lty and not as the scribes; never man spake like this man (Matt. vtl. 20; John rill, 40). That which the Phari sees sneeriugiy said of Him, "This man recelveth sinner* and eateth with them." was. and still la. gloriously true. He Is still saying, "If any man bear my voice and open the door 1 will 'come In to him and will sup with him and be with Me" (Rev. Ul, 20). The word here translated "receiv ed" Is generally translated "waiting or looking ttr." Weymouth's render ing is, "He gives a welcome tQ noto rious sinners." Not only does He re ceive sinners wlien they come to Him (John vi, 37), but He la on the lookout for them. He came to seek and to save that which was lost (Loke xlx, 10). If we are truly His disciples, aa 1? the last lesson, we. too, will seek In all the world the lost ones whom He came to save, the "whosoever? ' who will mske np His body, the church! Tbetr murmuring led Him to speak the threefold parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son. in which wa see the love of the Son ss the shepherd, the love of the Spirit snd the love of the Father. The love of God Is the greatest topic In ail the Bible and was specially manifest In His giving His only Son for os that we might not perish, as it is written, "In this waa manifested the love of God toward os, because that God sent His only be gotten Son Into the world that we might live through Him." "Hereby perceive we the love of God because He laid down His life for os"* (I John Ul. 16; Iv. 9). The story of the shep herd snd the lost sheep la found also In Uatt i vili, 11-14. and the record of the Good Shepherd Is found most folly in John x, where He not only cares for the sheep, bat gives His life for them. - In oar lesson He Is seen seek ing till Ha flnds; laying It on His shoot deva, rejoicing, bringing it safely borne and calling others to rejoice with Him. In Heb. xlll, 20, a. He to the Great Shepherd who,, having found and sav ed. works in as that which to wall Jlaaalag in HU sight In I Pet Vfcl-4, Be Is- the chief 'shfcpberd rewt41lg Sis own for faithful service. Thus wa have again the threefold aspect of 9U relation to Hhn aa in Icoaon iftTtd. ?erring, waiting for Him. 1 hare often basa glad that when He flats HJs sheep Hs brings It bona; He das* net drop Jt by the way. And what a place It is to be on His sbeul dara. ns and our burdens, too (Deut xxxlll. 12: Isa. lx, 0. 7V There most be more significance than we kave aver sesn In these words, "The Lord la my shepherd." and If wa folly believed wa could not bat rejoice a Pet. i. 8>. Woman is a type of the church, both troe and false, bat here she rtpitseuls the troe church in the power of the Holy Spirit seeking diligently that which la lost. The sheep set before os one phase of the condition of the lost ?* when we read, "I have gone astray like s lost sheep." "All wa like sheep have gone astray" (Pa. 178; lea. 1111. 6). The piece of illver may sug gest the Indifference of the lost, aa when we read of being dead In tres passes and sins (Eph. 11. 1). |n both esses the Lord Is tha seeker, aa Hs baa always been ever since Hs sought Adsm in the garden of aftes 1m had allium, njrng.-Where srt t boar (Gen.
