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

and I'alutka it is less than a mile wide
The Indians called it Welaka, meaning.

Lesson
(By K O. 8KI-T-KR1?. Director of Kvenlng
Department. 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.
