THE STATE RFAIR
A FEW OF THE ATTRACTIONS
---e-7r-se-.
- FOR VISITORS ......I

Wednesday, February S, less
than four weeks from date, marks
the opening of the great Florida
State Fair at Tampa, and from
that day until the fair gates close
at the midnight hour of February
p, thousands of tourists, home
seekers and visitors will be enter
tanned as never before at any state
fair in the country, Floridians
themselves have been greatly sur
prised at the magnitude of fairs
held in Tampa in former years,
but in absolutely no feature will
those fairs compare with that of
February, by reason of which
every Flcridian should attend.
Absolutely every visitor will be
we'll taken care of at small expense,
and were the fair to open today in
stead of a month hence, so
thorough has been the work of
employees of the Bureau of Infor
nation, who will direct visitors to
proper homes, thousands could be
cared for at moments notice.
Tampa has prepared for this i'm
portant feature as has no other city
in which fair or exposition has
been held
From the opening day to the.
close the Fair will present an TN
precedented series of interesting
features, including many important
conventions, principal among
which is the great immigration
convention, called by Governor
Broward for February IL, and at
tractive features. More than a
score of famous Americans and
officials of other countries, includ-
ing the ambassadors from Germany
Spain and Italy, will visit the city
at this time, sending reports to
their governments on conditions in
Florida, which alone should cause
every county in the state to be
represented by magnificent exhibits
and large attendance. Illustrating
the magnitude of the Fair, which
occurs during the height of the
tourist season, when more than
lOO,000 tourists are in the state,
premiums offered on products
exhibited amount to more than
$4,000, the Fair Association hav-
ing added several thousand dollars
to the state appropriation; purses
offered for horse races, in which
600 thoroughbred runners, includ-
ing $50 from the big New Orleans
tracks, amount to $4,000. with
several thousand to be added by
private subscription, with the great
hippodrome and circus, the acts of
which have been secured in Europe
and America, will be put on at a
minimum cost of $50, 900, making
it the finest attraction of the kind
ever produced at a State Fair.
In every department of exhibition
the products displayed will be
greater i'll volume, variety and
excellence than has been shown in
former years, absolutely every de-
partment being complete. 1t is
hoped that every Floridian who
can do so will take advantage of
the low rates offered by the rail
roads and attend this, the best
state fair ever held in the country.

acter of Christ or to have COM
passed the high and sublmated
teachings which are recorded in
the Bible as the character and
teachings of the Savior. The Bible
sweeps the whole circle of Spirit
tual truth, teaching the relation
ship of man to God and of man to
man as 40 other book OH earth and
its lofty instructions are infallible
proof of its divine authorship.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY OF THE BIpI.E
Any book of human authorship
may be grosped and comprelended
at only a few readings, but the
Bible is an inexhaustible mine of
truth, and the oftener it isread and
part compared with part, the more
we are convinced of its inspiration.
1t is book that never wears out,
but as each new century develops
new conditions of life and deeper
knowledge of the laws of the ply
steal universe, this wonderful book
is found abreast of the times and
replete with instruction for all the
emergencies of the soul, or of
society.
THE INDESTRUCTIBILITy OF THE
BIBLE
III all the centuries its foes have
tried TO destroy it. The keenest
critics have subjected it to the tests
of learning and logic, but the Bible
stands hrmer today than ever, in
the estimation Of the wise and the
good
1t has been translated into four
hundred languages and dialects
and more people are reading tie
Bible today, and ordering their
lives by its superlative wisdom
than at any other period Of the
world.
Adapting itself to every nation
atty, to every degree of intellect,
and to every variety of human
conditions, this universal book fits
into the great heart of humanity
and evidences itself as the very in
spiration of God
Let us strive to appreciate more
fully this blessed boon of God, let
us read and study its pages till our
souls are saturated with its divine
ideas, and we shall realize the
truth of its own sweet assurance
that "beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord We are changed
into that image from glory to glory
even as by the Spirit of the Lord"
