That i* joto mUOhamm*A when the ftufeury w**ntaeiky in Miami, Jtekaonvilte and ■ tm ether Florida spots last week. The first j» » p w from Miami to Dayton* and from there to Savannah, where th * historic eity was viewed fo r tha tin t time by the ’writer, It i* a quaint old southern city certainly laid out fo r the “ horse and buggy” node o f transportation, Streets are narrow add the unusual feature is that you couldn't.always tell a street from an alley, Another striking point is tha fa c t that one ordinary building in tha business section may be sur­ rounded by two different streets and two .alleys, the latter nearly twice as •wide as .the streets. When. it comes to parks with monu- raents or recreation playgrounds you cannot go any distance until you are forced to circle around them. Savan­ nah is the typical seaport city. There is evidence of. a good business, but not much progress or change in the type o f buildings in the business sec- .tion from fifty years ago. It has^ne o f the largest kraft paper mills in the country. Being on the water, the city Is near­ ly surrounded; b y swamp land for msay miles. There is little space for agriculture, but someone, has. provid­ ed excellent roads' and" bridges for pleasant and interesting touring. Over much the seme-kind o f terri­ tory, onward north* we reach ope of the most historicrSpots. on,,the Atlan­ tic coast, .Charleston,.'Si-C. If you have, not seen ohe o f 1the truly old cities, don't miss this city o f narrow- crooked streets.' We have seen the Latin quarter’ in New Orleans with its tinge o f. old world habitants, but Charleston gives the visitor something- different. It is a one street town with business houses jammed side by side. More than one place .we observed that the .staifWay to the second floor was hinged and pulled up by rope and pulley after the last , member of the family was in for the night. Charles­ ton'has a war historical record froih the, colonial days down to the Civil War times. One wonders how business ■can .prosper*with the handicap-trucks and autos have in that-'city, Sherman was credited’ once with a statement that' sort o f described war. Well, that phrase just about covers Charleston and fits perfectly m Atlanta, Ga. Ev­ ery tourist should make at least one visit^to Charleston. .As you leave the city north, you must cross Cooper river and at the edge o f the city you are faced with a river that looks like it had no bank o n ’ the opposite side. You also face ’ a bridge that looks like it would be impossible to negotiate. The bridge proper is ’two1miles long. The highest point over the river is 270.2 feist over * low tide. The first 1,000 feet you climb 150 feet in height which means o f cOUrse' that you must, have motor power and good brakes, if ever need­ ed. Most of- the sea level traffic, to New York and the East is over this bridge which cost six million, dollars and is being, paid by toll. Leaving this _ city we travel on to Georgetown and New Brunswick, both noted paper mill towns where the odor o f sulphuric acid cari be detected five miles away and ~ where, the swim from the washwater is in evidence ten miles from either city on streams wider than the big Miami when it is at flood stage from -bank to bank. While these mills em­ p loy several thousand men, they could not pperate under Ohio laws. Both having water freight •rates With lo­ cation that is not troubled by stream pollution, is mainly the -reason why certain Dayton financial interests lo­ cated in. the couth, In no time you have crossed one of the Carolinas and you are in the next, North Carolina, the center o f the greatest tobacco growing section in the world. We traveled fo r miles-and miles in the Kinston section where is grown* that famous product o f which a certain radio auctioneer chants his auction song weekly. Much, o f the ground in this section is now ready fo r planting but the cold weather .has held back the growth o f plants. Bain is needed in much off the section. After visiting in Wilmington, N. C„ a* thriving manufacturing city o f 35,- ” 000 the journey is continued to Rich­ mond Va. No state in the south has finer roads than Virginia. Ohce in Richmond you are surrounded by more history than cOuld be reviewed in these columns. It differs from other southern Cities in that m ost o f its streets are broad. Its business' section has scores o f toWering buildihgs and the activity ' about the stores office buildings, shops and’ banks, backs up all claims as to business at present, yet it is freely stated that something ails retail bus­ iness there as in other towns. By this time the soft gentle southern breezes had been turned into the kind we had left in Ohio and once more overcoats were in order. Theta Wiis a time every school boy and girl had to know something about the famtkts Civil War Libby prison, several Greene countians being Held prisoners there during part o f the war. The kite o f the prison at the corner off Twentieth and Cary Streets is marked with a bronze tablet. The budding was torn down and removed he Chicago to be used in an exhibit a t the wotid'a Fair Of After the (&f the material o f the prison was rete, Tb# timber ami Mooting went |«- to th e eonateamdea e f » bmmafcMaii- hjtj inch Burnt tor tha demolition o f .’fAtot were revealed in MOT.

HOSEA TELLS OP GOD'S FORGIVING LOVE LESSONTEXT—Hoses 6:1-7; 1«:4». GOLDEN TEXT—It we1 confess our stns, tie is faithful and just to forgive us .our- sins, and to cleanseps from all unrighteousness.—I John 1:9, ' God loves sinners! This is the’ message o f the Bible. God hates sin, but He loves sinners and is eager that1they should repent and receive His forgiveness. God even lo v e r the backslider; the one who has been, in fellowship with Him, tasted the joys o f the'eternal prom­ ised land and than turned- back to thaifleshpots of the world. This Is the. special message-of the book o f H o sea ,fo rh e deals-with a backslid- . ing and rebellious” Israel, so deter- 'mined to turn against God’s love that they are described in 11:7 (R. V.) as being “ bent on backsliding.’ ’ Israel failed to heed God’s warn­ ing, did not respond to His loving call, and went on to judgment. May none o f us b e so foolish and -stubborn. God is now calling sin­ ners in love and compassion, doing everything in His power to lead them to repentance and spiritual healing. “ Today, i f ye will hear his voice,, harden not your hearts’ ’ (Ps. 95 :7 ,8 ). I. God CaiUng Sinners.(6:1, 2). ’ •The great loving heart of God longs after wayward men. Though they have-wn deliberate unbelief , turned from Him, yet He sends His messenger to bring them His gra­ cious invitation^- No more beautiful word can be spoken than "Come.” It speaks o f an open door, o f a for­ giving spirit,, of a desire for renewed fellowship. Come, O sinner, and meet the Saviour. He it is who by both life and death has revealed the fullness o f God’s love to you. In Him you , will find entrance into eternal life : apd jo y . He says, “ I am the door, by m e if any man pnter in he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Observe also .the word “ return.” The invitation from God is not only to those who have never known Him, but also to the backslider. How many miserably unhappy backslid­ den Christians there are in the .wprld! Friend, if you are one of them,- this invitation is especially for ■.you! / - 1 II. God’s Dealings With Sinners (6:3-7). Our Lord is both compassionate . and faithful in His dealings with sinners. He will win them with love and tenderness 'if' they permit Him to do so, but if necessary He can also use the rod o f punishment or the storm o f unpleasant circum­ stances to drive them to Him. Re­ member that both the tenderness and the severity o f God are expres­ sions o f His love. . With Israel God wanted to come as' the gentle, reviving rain from heaven (v . 3 ), but because o f their unrepentant attitude (v, 4) He had to come forth as One who hews down and destroys (v . 5). Even in thus breaking down and destroying He is only preparing to rebuild. As the surgeon must first hurt in order to leal* God must sometimes cut deep­ ly in order to remove the blight of sin. These lines will.probably be read by many who have wondered at the dealings of God with them. Perhaps they have been inclined to condemn Him as being unkind or severe. Let them be assured that God is love and that back of all b! His dealings with men there is His tender pur­ pose to bring them unto Himself fo r salvation or for blessing. l i t God Healing Sinners (14:4-9). When sinners come to Him with word* bf repentance (14:1) God is ready to meet them and to heal all of their sins and backsliding*, Ob­ serve that not only will He heal their 'past sins* but will cause their pres­ ent position to. be such that He may “ love them freely” (v. 4), and then their future will be one o f great glory, God la infinitely gracious and pour* out His love without measure upon the sinner who re­ turns to Him. Verses 5 to 8 give a beautiful pic­ ture o f God’s blessings on the life o f the regenerated mad. The lily .(v . 5) speaks bf Stately roy a l.beauty, Lebanon (v, 6) is strength and sta­ bility, even as the great cedars of Lebanon were treasured for their strength, The spreading branches (v. 6) tell of expansion and growth. The olive tree (v, 6), the com and the7vine (V. 7), all speak o f fruitful- miss and usefulness, The* smell of Lebanon (v, 8) is the smell o f cedar and bespeaks a life so fragrant that It spreads around it the “ sweet savor of Christ” (II Cor,.2:16), The ever­ green fir tree (v, 8) speaks o f con­ stant freshness and beauty, God has all these things in mind for every Christian* that it, tor ev­ ery sinner who will repent and turn to Him through Christ, and tor every backslider who will return to Him today. iMM»tete4WteiMi»tteMteHMtei«teteito*4imiiMnHH»te*<!tteitiiig Burial A t Sea Is Imposing^ You have witnessed many a funeral bnt there wa* one Saturday out from Miami, Fla., that was as imposing as it was unique to an Ohioan' William Moody Edwards, 75, Miami inventor, bad a horror o f burial in the ground and it was bis wish that he be buried, at sea in the warm Gulf stream from the Florida shores, Tha family composed o f bis .widow, „* daughter and five boos , complied with hfs wfBh and had every detail carried put as had been planned by the de­ ceased, A motor boat carried the body, six pall hearers and Methodist minister, from the municipal pier, followed by another boat with the family and a third’boat with newspaper representa­ tives and photographers. Upon enter­ ing the Gulf stream anchor was laid and the silver casket slipped from a special platform onto the bubbling water, Slowly it sank w ith’ll wreath secured to the top lid, only air bubbles ' marking the exact spot for the time. The minister read, “ Farewell, fare­ well, you sail away.” Almost as though in harmony with the ceremony the casket floated on the waves as the .minister added: .“ Be not afraid o f hurt or loss It is a peaceful way you take; The night will see you safe across, And when you land the day will , break. t Then* Ah, the dear ones gene be­ fore, What welcome waits along the ' shore!” One edge o f -the silver casket Hipped beneath the water as-the final verse was read: “ Farewell, you vanish from our sight, < And into the shadow softly glide, O Loved o f Ours, bound for the H*ht> They watch you from the other ■■■. sid e ,; All joy and blessing go with you . Who gd to God, farewell, adieu!” ' A garland of roses on the water marked the spot as the boats turned shoreward. « n ImMmmmt* To Be m m M State Fair Work on a $137,500 improvement program at the Ohio State Fair grounds is expected to get under w«y about-May I , 4* a result o f recom­ mendations mode to Governor John W, Bricker by a State Fair Advisory Council o f H member* named by him last September to study the physical property and financial set-up o f the State Fair. , The Improvements are to be financed jointly by the State and the Works Progress Adminisratioh. Provision to finance thp ^State’s share was com­ pleted when the State Board o f Con­ trol approved a $39,058 emergency ap­ propriation. WPA wijl contribute $98,- 532 in labor, toward this; emergency program* Emergency itenm approved—-items essential to conduct o f the 1940 fair to he held August 24 to 30, include: Elimination o f fire hazards in the draft horse barn; completion o f a basement1under ..the cattle barn; con­ struction o f three wash racks for cat­ tle on display; construction and re­ location o f electrical wiring through­ out the .grounds; painting in the sheep barn;'cleaning and repairing the sew­ er system; installation o f 5,440 feet o f new water lines and 18 additional fire hydrants throughout the grounds, and’ construction o f an ,addition .and new toilet facilities at the Horticul­ ture and Agriculture Building. , WPA engineers are. now at work, on completion o f detailed plans and forms to b e ‘submitted to WPA officials at Washington for their final approval. Completion o f these, emergency im­ provements will add tremendously to public 'Safety and:convenience and to facilities available to exhibitors dur­ ing the 90th annual State -Fair this year. .■ - , WASHINGTON LETTER (C ontinued F rom F irst P age ) through WiP.A. provide but hare liv­ ings for those engaged in the work, while the work itself is o f but tempor­ ary benefits and value to the taxpay­ ing public. The argument is being made that the expenditure of the same amount o f Federal money for public projects, through contracts let to pri­ vate construction organizations, would actually give more beneficial employ­ ment, both directly and indirectly and would at the same time result in more permanent improvements o f much greater value to the taxpayers. A number o f labor organizations favor the change, as do many business groups. Whether or not the Roosevelt Administration will suggest a change in relief policy to the Congress will be dependent upon the result o f confer­ ences scheduled to be held within the next ten days or so, it is reported.

Perhaps, Thus the ques­ tions and.answers may be, yet in spite o f that, there are those who are in demand and keep busy. There is Mrs. Engler, for example. She is a widow. She has two married daughters. She gave up her own home nine years ago yielding to the call of a friend to work as a domestic. She has served others since. She. likes it. “ She’s old-fashioned", said one em­ ployer. “ That’s why we like her. She cooks the finest meals. Then, too, she is conservative. Thnt suits us We don’t like some o f the ideas o f the younger women, Mrs. Engler works steadily, and does not get nervous- She gets lots done". Recently* when the engagement with a family was complete, she took a two-weeks vacation at a daughter’s home. She could scarcely remain there for eight households sought her ser­ vices. She ds in demand. It may not be always what she ...wants, but she is putting herself gladly into the work people want done and therein lies her contentment, A plain Christian wo­ man o f excellent health, she is suc­ cessful in her field o f Usefulness* and happy that she can serve. Then there is Mr. Williamson. He is at the age when men usually retire if they can. Five years ago, he bought a beautiful but modest country home, but his .corporation does not permit him to live in it. He is a structural engineer who is sent out on jobs all over the country. “We just finished a power plant in West Virginia, which uses a car load o f coal an hour” ) They came home. “ Mrs. Williamson wants to spend the \vinter in our home on the. hill” , said he. “ The company is using me near Pittsburgh, and I will get home week-ends” .

In this respect it is imperative that we distinguish beween what is primary and what is secondary. That which is not basic should be overthrown. Wo should not lose sight o f those things in life which tend to produce moral courage, love, beauty, and strength o f character.' Do not these qualities constitute. the goal o f every truly great life. Is not God all these things? Too many people in this- world to­ day place all the value upon them­ selves. They conceive the idea that they are all important, and expect' others to take due notice thereof and conduct themselves accordingly.
