Meeting of Realty Men.
An important meeting of real es
tate men of Florida lias been called tit
be held hi Tampa on the L'.'hi ami 24th
of this month. It is expected that
real estate men from every part ol
the state will be present. T.argo d ele
vations from .Jacksonville, Daytona,
Miami and other cities are looked for.
Rev. Jas. T. Lewis, for the past year
or more rector of St. Marks Episcopal
church in this city, has made arrange
ments to leave Palatka next Monday,
and will sail for New York on the Le
nape of the Clyde Line Tuesday morn
ing. From New York Mr. Lewis has
engaged passage for Liverpool on the
Ss. St. Paul of the American Line.
Mr. Lewis will preach at St. Mark's
church for the last time next Sunday,
morning and evening, and undoubted
ly there will be large congregations
out to hear his farewell words.
Last Sunday Mr. Lewis had planned
to spend with his former congrega
tion in Monticello, where he served as
rector four years and was held in
high esteem by all the people of that
little city, but it was found impossible
for him to meet the appointment.
Word was sent to members of the
church there, but somehow it was not
circulated and many came from tli3
surrounding country to meet their old
pastor, only to be disappointed.
Rev. J. f . Lewis came to St. Mark's
church as rector soon after the retire
ment of Archdeacon Wyllie, who went
to St. Mary's Jacksonville. He has
had a most successful pastorate and
the church is parting from him with
keen regret. He is an able preacher.
The church vestry at a recent meet
ing passed suitable resolutions of re
gret over the severance of these pleas
ant relations of pastor and people.
Mr. Lewis is a Welchman; since the
summer of 1914 he has been reading
of the hoi-rors of war in which his
home land is engaged as a principle.
He has had a military training and
were he to enlist in the British army
he would be entitled to a commission.
But for some reason the head of the
English church is adverse to his
clergymen entering the army, except
as chaplains, so Mr. Lewis will proba
bly be content to follow the wishes of
his spiritual head, or superior. lz
will, however, enter the service either
as chaplain of the front, or in the hos
pital service. He feels the call to this
work, and it seems irresistible. Hence
his determination to leave America.
On Tuesday last the members of St.
Mark's Chapter, Daughters of the
King, presented Mr. Lewis with a
handsome and artistic pocket Prayer
Book in token of sincere regard and
high esteem. The membership,
which is limited to those whose work
is confined to the service of the altar
and to the decoration of the church,
consists of Mrs. James Burt, Mrs. J.
H. Haughton, Mrs. Deal, Mrs. W. M.
Boyd, the Misses Moragne. Miss Mac
Nab, Miss Myrtle Holden, Miss Lillian
Stanton, Miss Serena Bailey, Miss Ed
na Marshall and Miss Alice P
Miss Alice Moragne is president.
Palatlavns generally, while regret
ting the departure of Rev. Mr. Lewis,
will wish him Godspeed and a long
