ada and reaching approximately ten
million readers weekly. This seems to
be "a mystery to your correspondent
and a greater mystery will be realized
when he learns that there is not book
in the world, in the English language,
that has a greater circulation than
The Divine Plan of the Ages, Pastor
Russell's writing, outside the Bible and
the Bible only has a greater circula-
ton.
Yes, Pastor Russell teaches a resur-
rection and his recent Easter sermon
is a proof. I find that it is about the
only reasonable solution of the resur-
rection l have seen presented, but if
your correspondent has a more reason
would be appreciated, but it would
hardly reach all the readers of the
Brooklyn tabernacle sermons.
Commenting on Pastor Russell's
writing, BILL Arp" in the Atlanta
Constitution, said: This wonderful
book makes no assertions that are not
well sustained by the Scriptures. 1t is
built up stone by stone and upon every
stone is the text, and it becomes a
pyramid of Gods love and mercy and
wisdom. There is nothing in the Bible
that the author denies or doubts, but
there are many texts that he throws a
food of light that seems to uncover it's
meaning"
Your correspondent says that he
seeks to destroy the very foundation of
Christian faith. I know that is not so,
for his life is devoted to work of pub
fishing Scriptural knowledge and
Christian encouragement and in dedi-
eating his work he uses this language:
Dedicated, ITO make all see what is
the fellowship of the mystery which,
from the beginning of the world, hath
been hid in Cod" Wherein He hath
abounded toward US in all wisdom and
prudence, having made known to us
the mystery of His will. according to
His good pleasure which He hath pur-
posed in Himself: that in the dispen-
sation of the fullness of times He
might gather together in one all things
under Christ" Eph. 3; 4, 8, 8; 1883
10.
Your correspondent should inform
himself really what the pastor does
teach instead of making false charges
and then put us on our guard" with
| offering single proof of his asser-
lions.
We are living in a day when people
do not take such assertions as c. w
Humphreys make very seriously, but
are content to investigate for them
selves. Thanking you for your valu-
| able space,

WILL CITY OFFICIALS HAVE
THE TINY SHED ABOLISHED

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Without frequent dampening with
journalists dew editorial or COM
municated), the calloused conscience
of the average Public Utility Corpora
ton is as difficult to arouse as it is
to create enthusiasm with a subscrip-
ton list at a church gathering.
Therefore, l beg your indulgence for
again directing the attention of the
Passing Throng to the Tiny Shed, at
the intersection of Palafox and Greg
DRY streets.
Not, however, that the conscience
of the Pensacola Electric company is
calloused because it maintains the
Tiny Shed as transfer station for the
ostensible comfort and convenience Of
its patrons.
Indeed, far be It from my purpose to
so aver, even IL l were possessed of
evidence that a Monopolistic Corpora
ton could have a conscience to become
calloused.
1t is a generally accepted axiom,
however, that the last consideration OF
a Public Utility Corporation with a
Monopoly, is the comfort and con-
venience Of its patrons.
Also, It is generally conceded that
the title of the Pensacola Electric
company to niche in the Monopolis-
tic Hall of Fame can't be successfully
contested. Therefore, maintaining the
Tiny Shed for the alleged comfort and
convenience of the Passing Throng. is
but an observance of the recognized
ethics of Monopolistic Corporation
dom. And, whether or lot. the Tiny
Shed is an architectural abortion mar
ring the superlative beauties of an ex-
quisite landscape; whether or not, the

sions, to its. purposes: whether or not

FAILED TO FURNISH ANY
PROOF OF ASSERTIONS
Editor Pensacola Journal.

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In Sundays issue of your paper
notice a letter signed by c. w. Hum
phries in which the writer takes occa-
sion to criticise the sermons of Pastor
Russell as published in many of the
leading newspapers, and in which he
makes some assertions which, if true.
must be considered as very grave
charges against that eminent divine.
Now, with the first paragraph Of Mr..
HUMPHREYS letter no honest minded
person could possibly find fault. The
sentiments expressed in that portion
of his letter should be the sentiments
of every person, whether making any
pretention to Christianity or not.
In other parts of his letter, however,
Mr.. Humphreys seems to have lost that
spirit of fairness and justice which he
prides himself with possessing. In other
words, he does not accord to his breth-
rem the full measure of liberty he
claims for himself
In the first place, Mr.. Humphreys
letter is a mass of assertions without
proof. He assumes certain things to
be true relative to the teachings of
Pastor Russell and ignores the fact
that a great many people who may
chance to read his letter may refuse to
believe his assertions. Mr.. Humphreys
accuses Pastor Russell of teaching
scriptural doctrine, of denying thu
deity of Christ and the inspiration OF
the Scriptures and of seeking to de-
stroy the foundations of Christianity
In support of these grave accusation
Mr.. Humphreys has not offered thu
least shadow of proof. This, it seems
to me, is not just either to Pastor Rus
sell or to the large number of people
who profess to believe in his teachings
Mr.. Humphreys should bear IN minG
the fact that an assertion is not proc.
and in making such grave accusation
against Pastor Russell, or any our.
else, he should be abundantly supplied
with all necessary proof and it SHOULD
be given at the time when the accusa-
lions are made.
Doubtless there are many people who
read The Journal and who, in all prob
ability, read the letter by Mr.. Hum
phreys who believe in the system of
theology taught by Pastor Russell
Evidently those are the people Mr..
Humphreys expects to reach. Now it
is the opinion of the writer that so
far from having the effect intended by
Mr.. Humphreys and winning the peo-
pie from belief of that kind, 1t will
have the opposite effect of strength
ening their belief in Mr.. Russells the
DRY of theological faith. They will
reason-and very justly so-that accu-
| sations of SO grave a nature, unsup
ported by evidence, must come from an
unreliable source and they WI not
consider them as worthy of serious in
| vestigation.
| This is not written with any inten-
ton of antagonizing or giving OFF ense
| to anyone, but with view to present
| ing the question from another sta nd
point, and of calling the attention of
the public to the fact that we must
not be hasty in passing our Judgment
upon matters pertaining to our eternal
| life; neither should we be too ready
to condemn our fellow man without a
| hearing.

them questions that usually disturb
the equilibrium of the average Monop-
olistic Public Utility Corporation.
But there is no Monopolistic Public
Utility Corporation, no matter how
firmly intrenched, nor how exclusive
it's monopoly may be. that is imperv-
ious to regulation, provided the auth
GRITTY vested in a community's off,
Gals is rigidly exercised.
It is within the province of the ex-
ecutive authorities of the city of Pen
sacola to see to 1t that the Tiny Shed
is abolished as an obstruction to a
public street; or that it is reconstruct
ed into a comfortable and sufficiently
commodious building to afford ordi-
nary protection from the elements to
the Passing Throng that must filter
through it day after day-or walk.
The echo that will reverberate from
numerous Pensacola homes tomorrow
will be:
"Will this authority be exercised?"

Why Not
Potato Clubs?

Many sections of Florida have slept
over their rights and have made no at
tempt whatever to organize corn clubs
and in this way get the boys inter
ested in agriculture. In regard to the
corn clubs, it is now too late to remedy
what has been neglected, but Florida
boys might go the boys of other states
one better and organize potato clubs.
- Sweet potatoes are very profitable in
Florida, especially in West Florida,
where the land seems well adapted to
thetr growth, which will make the
proposition an attractive one for the
boys If the grown-ups will do their
part and offer a little encouragement
and organize the clubs in the various
counties.
The boys should have Joined the
corn clubs so as to have entered the
competition for the national prizes
with the boys Of the other states, but
for money making scheme the cult
walton OF an acre of sweet potatoes will
aprove more profitable and require less
work and expense, and in this line win
have no competition for, as sweet
potato producing section, West Flor
ida has no equal.
According to the report Of the COM
missioner of agriculture as many as
four hundred bushels of potatoes may
be harvested from one acre II it is
properly fertilized and cultivated.
Almost any boy in West Florida can
prepare the ground and cultivate an
acre of potatoes without any outside
help, and the potatoes may be readily
marketed at from fifty cents to one
dollar a bushel. Agreeing that four
hundred bushels is an extraordinary
crop and taking half the amount, it
will be seen that boy could clear in
the neighborhood of one hundred dol
lars from one acre.
Let the Inter State Fair Association
or the commercial bodies of the differ
ent sections offer prizes for the largest
crops of potatoes grown by boys. Let
state organization similar to the ma
tional corn clubs be organized, only
let it be known as the boys potato
clubs.
Any money given in prizes for the
boys will be well spent and will help
develop the agricultural possibilities of
the state. Give the boys a show and
we will have the greatest agricultural
state in the Union.
