BAPTIST STATE
PAPER BACK
To LAKELAND
BAPTIST WITNESS TO BE RE.
MOVED TO THIS CITY AND PUB.
LISHED FROM THIS OFFICE.

Lakeland is to be n"ratulatcd on
having again published in the city
tie Baptist Witness, the official or
San of the Florida Baptist State con-
vcntiOn with Il constituency of near
" 10000. The Witness now has 4
tircula ton of nearly 1000. and goes
to almost every postoffcc in the State,
and therefore will be quite an advcr-
tscmcnt for Lakeland.
The Witness was published in
lakeland for about two years, but on
account Of the desire cf the Lakeland
News Publishing Co. to sart a daily
local paper. it asked to BE- relieved
OF the contract fer printing it. and it
was removed to Arcadia last fall. Adj
ditional facilities having been placed
in the Office of the Lakeland News,
Il is now able to handle the Witness
in connection with its other publica-
tions. and DR.. Nowln being dcsirous
TO have the paper printed in the town
where he resides. Il contract has been
entered into whereby the paper will
in future be issued from this office
Two other towns in Florida offered
to put up a bonus if DR.. Nowlin
would locate the paper with them
Now DR.. Nowlin has not asked Lake
land to put up Il bonus, hut we be-
lievc the business men Of Lakeland
will recognize the advantage of hay
ing the paper located here and will
stand by it in tic way of advertis-
ing. The advertising is the thing
that enables the religious paper to
pay expenses.
Dr. Dudley {. Nowlin the business
manager, will move from Arcadia to
Lakeland with the paper Aug /. 1t is
the purpose of Dr.. Nowlin to get
location. open up an Office and carry
IL line of religious books. This will
mean one more limo of business added
to the town
1t Will be quite an advantage to
Dl. Now lin to have the paper where
he can give it his personal attention.
Then, Lakeland is one of the best
mail dis ributing points in the tSate,
having six railroads going ont in as
many directions, and being almost in
the geo2 rapilical center of the State
Having he State paper here and the
only Baptist book house in the State,
will naturally make Lakeland Bap-
tiHt headquarters for Florida

Don't guess either Melbourne or sgd
hey, for that would send you to the
bottom Of the class. A magazine ex-
plorer has discovered the place, which
Is called by the extraordinary name Of

draw Q line on the map connecting
Melbourne with Sydney, divide 1t by
Two points into three equal parts. and
the point nearest Sydney will stand
for the future capital Of Australia.
This site was roughly specified by
the constitution of 1900, but 1t took q
ten.year controversy to select the site
definitely.

PAIR SCHOOLS
FOR DEBATES
Initial Matches. In the State
Championship Competition
Are Fixed.

Fourteen of the most wide-a-
wake high schools of the state
have entered the annual debate
in the state high school league
and will contest for debating hon
ors and the possession for one
year of the Grand Forks Herald
trophy cup. The question for this
years debate is Resolved that
the United States should own and
operate parcels post express.
The exact dates for the debates
of the first series are left to the
competing schools to arrange for
themselves, but all of the first
series must be held before the
Christmas holidays.
The committee of the university
faculty that has the debate in
charge met yesterday and paired
the schools for the first debate
as follows:
Park River and Langdon.
Hatton and NorthwOOd.
Wahpeton and Enderlin.
Washburn and Surrey.
Berthold and Rugby.
Michigan and Grafton.
Lansford and Bisbee.
Each school will be represen-
ted by a team of three students.
With each pair of schools the
choice of sides of the question
will go to one school and the
choice of place will go to the
other. The question is live one
and by means of this debate much
of valuable fact will be brought
out. 1t will afford some splendid
practice in public speaking for
the participants.

where greet him Is proof that the True
Gospel which he breaches has to some
extent found a responsive chord In
thousands of Canadian hearts.
One of Pastor RusselPs addresses
while here was from the words of st.
Paul: Moreover, brethren, l declare
unto you the Gospel which preached
unto you: How that Christ died for
our sins, according to the Scriptures:
and that He was buried. and that He
rose again the third day."-I Corln-

"Wonderful, indeed, Is 80 complete a
statement of the Gospel in so few
words!" said Pastor Russell. "St.
Paul, like the rest of us, would have
said more without the guidance Of in
spiration-would have said too much.
"Our text teaches that we are sin
ners, and also that our sins are beyond
our power to wash away. This Is a
fundamental doctrine Of the Christian
religion. The failure on the part Of
many to realize this, that we are all
imperfect, has hindered them from see
ing the necessity for Savior, and
therefore the necessity for accepting
Jesus as their Redeemer.
ITO say that we are sinners" said
Pastor Russell, "implies time when
absolute Righteousness existed in our
ancestry"

Plies that our sins had a death penalty
attached to them. This also implies
that that death penalty was a just one,
because a Just God would not punish
unjustly. The justice Of a death pen

would not have needed to die If he had
not sinned. All this corroborates ex
