FAITH, A PERSONAL
LIVING BELIEF.


Paul gives us, in Hebrews Ill, the
living definition of faith. when he
says: Faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seem When Jesus asked
his disciples Whom do men say that
l. the Son of Man, ann" And they
said Some say that Thou art John
the Baptist; some Elias, and others
Jeremias, or one of the people" etc.
He saith unto them But whom say
We that I ann" (peEsonah. And Simon
Peter answered and aaid Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God
And Jesus answered and said unto
them Blessed art thou. Simon Bar
iona, for flesh and blood hath not re-
vealed 1t unto thee, but My Father
which is IN heaven upon
this rock / VIII build my church
Matt 16: 1918.
This belief, then, that Jesus is the
Christ. the Son OF the living God. re-
vealed by God Himself, is the founda-
tion stone of our faith. The Spirit
itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that We are the children of Cod

In reply to your letter of inquiry
as to how l stood on the prohibition

ting the prohibition question by a
popular vote of the voters of the coun-
ty in which he lives. If l was elected
to the legislature and Escambia coun-
ty was to have a prohibition election,
