Leaving Ohio just *s ths Easter winter spell was developing one would not think it necessary at sp late a date in March that you would have to travel a thousand miles to get the first glimpse o f spring* Such was the case.. Crossing the Ohio and angling in a south-easterly direction through Ken tacky the first night out was spent in Richmond, Ky,, the home o f our publisher friend. Gov* Keen Johnson. Mo snow had. been sighted thus far but Saturday morning winter had caught up with us and wfe had snow Until we reached ,Knoxville, Tenn, In tp Georgia we traveled for the weath- er bum was predicting sleet. His pie . diction came true hut not until we had le ft Macoq. Easter in St. Augustine "was real summer but the north wai after us and it was fires and fm wraps even down ,at Daytona fo r two days. The only escape was to keep headed , south and for once distance cheated the cold-breezes and . plunged us not into spring but summer with the onfcr- - cury.above $0 each day in Miami. Conditions through Kentucky and Tennessee were hot much different than what .Ohio had at our leaving. Naturally the- farmer in those two states and northern Georgia shouldJbe further along with spring plowing but -.such whs not the case, Tobacco plant seed beds had been prepared but the . cold wpather was against germination. -Thesn states, were badly in need of rain, .we*were informed unless it came •soon -the prospects for early crops would not,be the best. There were no peach trees in bloom in Georgia until Waycrjosa was reached. Florida from the north boundary to the tip at Key West 1 still shows the great damage during the freeze som<j. weeks. J)efore.such, as had not been / known for' fifty years* ' The sweeping'royal palms as well as the ,smal)f(.$i}£ubs hung .their flowing ' foliage,in a drooping manner with the frost brown tint predominating, that color that .always makes, an Ohioan think o f late fall. Berry and vegetable crops amounting to millions were wip* •‘ ed out OVgr night. The southern farm? er as hje is known has bad trouble up­ on trouble^ the past year between, freezes* frosts and floods. Never beforehassouthern Florid^ enjoyed .such a tourist business as this season.. Plaster winter kept thou­ sands Jftere and the highways werO lined with automobiles, bringing inneuj; •recruits. Towns and cities,,show thou­ sands o f new homes and we are in­ formed,the present summer will keep pace wjth the record established last year. One report is that fifty new hotels will be erected in the Miami area alone; This .city has more hotels . apartments, and boarding' houses pei „ thousand population than New York City. I t is claimed that New York City alone sent more than JOQfiOO winter visitors to different points in Florida this ,past season, I f we gauge the automobile popula­ tion from license plates in-the, cities and on the highways, New York would; come first, Pennsylvania second, Mich­ igan, third, Illinois fourth, with Ohio, Indiana and several Eastern statek fol­ lowing. Almost every state in the imion had'its representatives with sev­ eral provinces in Canada. One o f the interesting and unique trips south, and we recommend such a trip to Ohioans, is the I7 p mile, ride over the’ ocean highway from Miami to Key West. The latter city i f ,you. check with your map is the most south' point o f the U, S. On the East is the Atlantic o ce a n . and on the West Florida bay, or Gulf o f Mexico, Henry Flagler railroad capitalist, dreamed and"completed a railroad ov­ e r the Florida keys, coral islands, to Key West. The great hurricane a few years ago wiped this road off the map in scores o f places fo r miles. Key West was left to its fate until an auto high­ way was planned, part over the old roadway used by early settlers and part on bridges constructed on the railroad piers that had been left stand­ ing after the storm. There are about 40 bridges that measure from 2 tenths o f a mile to one cement bridge that is seven miles long. There are no cross roads to bother the motorist and you"travel at your own speed. Key West gets its 'mail star route ny motor, the driver beifig compelled under contract to ma|fe the 170 miles six evenings a we|k in two and three fourths hours for^Miami connections north. ■* TBiere are times when driving on lan$ where the highway, is not more tha| 100 feet wide from the Atlantic to Hie Florida bay and if the wind is high or storms prevail there is plenty o f Evidence the Atlantic jumps across the fjighway to kiss the Gulf o f Mexico waters. As fo r fishing the entire route! is ntod with both fishermen and fish, mote than once we had to Check speed rather than run over a three to five !*r jerked to the highway.—Ed.

GOLDEN TEXT—Hate the evil, and love the food, and establish judgment in the Amo« 5:15, Social justice, though much spo­ ken about in recenttimea, has been the concern o f right thinking men ever since sin entered the world and started man's inhumanity toward mail. Jq the prophet Amos we find the eloquent and plain-spoken voice o f one crying out against- such conditions almost 800 years before Christ, This lesson is one which is of ut­ most importance because in our present-day struggle with social in­ justice we have come to assume that it is primarily a political or eco­ nomic question. Amos and all other Scripture rightly gets at "the focus of Infection," which is sin- Sin in the; heart leads to sinful actions, and these inevitably involve others, and thus bring about social problems; Let us learn from Amos to cure our epcial ills by bringing, man. to God. ; - I. Lamentation—to the Midst of Prosperity .(v, D- i: From , the little village o f Tekoo and1'/out o f the’ ,wilderness in .which he had been a herdsman came Amos, the man of Gqd, to hurl his prophecy o f disaster upon the heads o f the complacent people of Israel and to take up a lamentation over those in Israel living in luxury and prosperity. True it was that the common peo­ ple were being ground under the. heel o f cruel oppression, but who cared about the poor as long as they could be squeezed for taxes,to sup­ port the luxurious comforts and 4pleasures Of the rich? A prosperity, Which' does not reach the homes of the. poor is not a real prosperity at all. When in addition thereto, it en­ courages the “ haves" to. oppress the “ have-nots" it becomes a grave dan­ ger, 'a real cause fpr lamentation; II, The Reason—Sin Which;Hates Reproof (vv.' 10-13). Sin is always a horrible thihg, but when men who have fallen into sin are responsive to correction and ready -to repent and forsake their' sin, there is hope. The thing which made Israel’s state so serious in the sight o f God and of His prophet was that they bad only hatred for those Who .were bold enough to reprove them or to live” among them .accord­ ingto‘ God’s standards (vv. 10 , 13). ■‘They who will endure no criticism have slammed the door in the face of trutli. When we get to the place where We caiihotendure having our faults' pointed .out, we are On the > a y to moral collapse" (Douglass). The sin which hhd thus hardened their hearts, showed itself in social inequality and injustice which was.' built upon greed, oppression, cor­ ruption in the courts, etc. The shock- ing'picture which Am os paints bears a surprising similarity to conditions in our world today. Let us face the problem and seelcits solution. ,IU. The!CuEe?-§eek Good Not Evil (v,v. 14, 15). , , ? . God's Word condemns sin,-but it always presents a, remedy. In Christ we .have .the perfect, final, and com ­ plete answer to the, sin ifitestion. . Amos, . speaking centuries before Christ, admonished Israel to repent and to turn away from the evil Which they had cultivated with such assiduity and to he equally zealous about doing good, in' the hope tha- “ it' may be that the Lord -God of hosts will be gracious” (v. 15). How favored we are to be permitted not only to urge people to turn from evil to good, but to offer them the One who is the way, the truth, and the lift. Israel did not repent, but in folly depended on their religious ceremo­ nies tosatisfy an offended God* The prophet therefore declarea that , ’ tVV Religion Is Not a Substitute forJustice ( w l 21-24), ^ - God had no pleasure in their re­ ligious observances and rites, be­ cause they were presented with un­ repentant hearts and by hands which were soiled by the 1 oppression 'of their fellow man. Mark it well, God has no delight in the attendance upon church serv­ ices, beautiful though they may, be, does not listen to thg sweet strains of sacred music, nor does He accept the 1 rich "offerings" o f those who live in unforsaken sin and who pay for magnificent church buildings and beautiful church services with mon­ ey , gotten by crooked dealings and social injustice. God is righteous and God’s Word always outs right through the hypocrisy of men, Let us heed the plea o f Amos, that right­ eousness should run through our per* sonal and national life “ as. a mighty stream ," and then we shall be ready both as individuals and as a people to worship Him aright.
