Jucksouville is a new city, and yet it Is old. If one reads the Vntiquitler of Florida, lie finds that the terrltor> now covered by this marvelous clt> was fought over nearly four hundred ?*<? L?.v lilt- SUII'dV aCIVetllUrerjof the 16th century. The early settli nn-nta of the Florida peninsula haii their genesis and origin in the relig lotis troubles experienced h.v tin Huguenots under Charles IX. king o. France. Mean Kibault headed the flisi expedition to the new world in 156for the purpose of founding a colony on what is now the Fast Const of Florida. Tlu.se adventurers first land ed at the mouth of the St Johns rivet, twenty five miles below the present city of Jacksonville Here they erect ed a monument, but afterwards sailed up the coast and established a settle nient at Fort Koyal. South Carolina This settlement was abandoned after & stormy year with the Indians. An other expedition came to the East Coast from France in 1564. This ad venture was headed by I.audonuere. His first landing was at the present site of St Augustine, hut in a short time lie sailed up the coast and entered the St Johns river. About half way between the mouth of the St. Johns and the present city of Jacksonville the expedition erected a fort and named It Fort Caroline. King l'hllip 11., of Spain, through hatred of the religious faith of the Huguenot*, sent an expedition to Florida to drive out the French. Fort Caroline fell befuie an attack by this expedition. The site of tlitx old fort Is but a few miles below Jacksonville History ia full of evidences that both the French and Spanish brought their warships an far up St. JohttH river us Jacksonville. They were the first white nteu to set foot on East Florida. During the Confederals reunion Steamboat excursions will carry veterans and visitors to these points of historic Interest on the beautiful St Johns river, which bounds the city of Jacksonville on the south. A boat rule on this river Is worth coming niiics to enjoy. In many respects it Is tlie most wonderful body of water In America. It is a river of sensations, fed by never falling springs At points above Jacksonville it reaches a width of live or six miles, and It is doubtful If at any point between Jacksonville and I'alutka it is less than a mile wide The Indians called it Welaka, meaning. in their tongue, "chain of lakee " The St Johns is navigable for about 200 miles. and palatial ti?Rm?ri make regular trips from Jacksonville to the head of navigation. The largest oceangoing vessels come to Jacksonville w.th passengers and freight from all p.ilia of ihtt world. The traffic that tht* river brings to Jacksonville la an Important factor in lis business, and the river ItHelf ta a wonderful and lelighiful revelation to the tourist.

The Moody Bible Institute, < "hl^agn ) LESSON FOR APRIL 19. COST OF DISCIPLE3HIP. l.KSSOX TKXT-I.ukc 14:25-36. C.OI.DKN T1C.VT "Whosoever would sa\<> his life shull lose it. and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find It." Malt. 16:25. While this discourse la recorded only by St. Luke, hi 111 there are many things mentioned here to which our Lord made reference on other occasions. I.ast Sunday's Raster lesson made a break In the sequence of lessons we have been following, anu shall follow for several succeeding Sundays. Leaving the chief Pharisee's house wherein he criticized both host and guests, "great multitudes" followed our Lord. Turning, he uttered somo of the severest and yet the most wonderful words that ever fell from his lips, as we shall see if we follow all of th 8 part of our lesson series. Multitude Rebuked. I. A Caution, v. 26. On another occasion. John 6:26. .lesus rebuked the multitude which followed him. This multitude who pressed about him did not realize what was Involved in a true following. They were influenced bv the nsveholouv of the ernwit ??ii (1 i<1 not count the cost. Jesus does not menu that our discipleship will lessen our love for our kin (Rph. 5:25, 28-31; (5:1-4), but as compared with our love for hitn it is aversion. See Matt. 10:::T: Phil. 3:7. 8; Pa. 73:25. 26. Aversion is to turn aside, and the Master told us that those who shall turn aside thus shall have an abundant reward, see Mark 10:28-20. Jesus Christ must b<? supreme in a Christain's affections, lie who freely pave his own self (John 3: lt>. Phil 2:S> has a right to demand a like devotion to himself, and as men have approached nearest to such a consecration he has exalted them. The Cross menus tho shame, sorrow. I ain nnd death of self and all that lies ill the pathway of loyalty and devotion to him. II Tim. 3:12, Acts 14:22. II. A Challenge, vv. 27-32. (11 The Instruction, v. 27. As if to make this caution more solemn, Jesus sets before the multitude the manner of his approaching death and the condition of discipleship. lie here lays down the first declaration of the severe terms of discipleship. but explains the meaning of his words. There is a new meaning of this passage suggested by tho Revised Version of v. 33, "fo likewise" is rendered, "so therefore." Our Ixird docs certninlv insist that those who build a tower or conduct u war must count tho cos;: so, 1 likewise, they who follow him. Put by this change the opposite thought is .uggt si'-u. viz., mai inose who loiiow Itini must do so whatever the cost may be (21 The Illustrations, (at The builder of a tower, vv. 20, 10, and lb) The King at war, vv. 31, 32. Too often wo present to men what Is to he gained by Christian discipleship. The gain does outweigh the cost, but as wise builders we must present the cost side of the transaction. Homely Illustrations. III. The Conclusion, vv. 33-35. Wo have already indicated the conclusion towards which Jesus was leading with terrific logic, and bv looking Laek to tho first verse of the lesson we see what it was he was seeking to impress upon the minds of the thoughtless inhltitude. Again the Master uses one of those homely illustrations gathered from tho common experiences of life which he employed so frequently to amplify or to drive home a great truth. There must be quality* as well as devotion to this discipleship. Salt preserves from corruption, seasons insipidity, freshens and sweetens. These qualities are referred to abundantly by Scriptural writers. Salt is highly prized in the East. Tho natural man is presented also as being corrupt. Gen. 0:11; 8:21; Ps. 14:2, 3; Epli. 2:1-3. The remedy for this is the active presence of his disciples among their fellows. The true disciple is like suit with a goon savor. On the other hand, salt that has lost Its savor is not even tit for a dunghill. hut is thrown out nnd trodden under foot of men. So our Lord sets aside that disciple of his who has lost his usefulness. This expresses our Lord's contempt and scorn of those who lack, not merely a certain kind of character, hut those whose profession and appearance would indicate a better expectation. This lesson presents the severity of the claims of Jesus. Irresistibly he drew the multitudes to himself. Wit r.ess the crowd following him as ho leaves the house of the ruler. Hut ho used and by his teaching sifted them, and seemingly made It difficult to follow him. What is the purpose of discipleship? It means co-operation. The work of the King Is to build and to battle, so the disciple must wield both sword and trowel. He must set aside his interests and devote himself and all of his strength to the work and the warfare. We must not. as lias been intimated. allow ourselves to imagine that these sayings of Jesus conflict with his tender words about the home or of men coming to him for rest fMutt 11:28-30). The ultimate end of I disciplerblps is that the surging resth ssncss of the multitude shall indeed find rest iu him. Surely ir Haid Straits.
