Come and see. John 1889.


AS Jesus has inspired, and, so, been
enShrined in the humanitieS, the mis-
SionS, the art and music OF The world,
so is He related 10 literature. II is
the fashion, nowadays, to speak OF
the Bible as literature. For the mo-
ment only, reckon il such. And so
reckoned, il is the loftieSt literature.
II was of this literature, in the En-
glish dress of the King James version,
that so distinguished Catholic cler-
gyman as Il. w. Faber wrote: at
lives on the ear like music that can
never be forgotten which the con
vert hardly knows how he can fore
go. It's felicities often seem TO be al
most things rather than mere words.
II is part of the national mind, and
the anchor of the national serious
ness" Well, now, of this wonder
full Scripture literature Jesus is the
center and the soul. Ii is woven as
seamless robe about Him. He is in
its opening verse, as you will see by
comparing that with John 1:3. He is
in its very latest verse. He is in the
law, the substance of its shadows and
types. He is in its prophecies and
its pSalmody.
Then, stepping outside the Bible,
there is a literature that is all His.
How many So.called "LiveS" OF
Christ there are Time and space
will not allow even the mention of
them. But the most scholarly have
written on this fascinating theme.
And multitudeS who have not aSpired
TO write Life" have contemplated
Him from some special angle, and
have written of Him from that spe-
cial viewpoint, as, e. g., Mr.. Carne,
gle Simpson writing of "The Fact Of
Christ" and Bayne writing on "The
Testimony of Christ TO Christianity. ]"
Then, there is a literature that
takes Christ for granted, and from
the facts of His life, FORCES its argu.
ments for the reception of Him.
Such literature includes the greatest
|, Allegory ever written in any tongue,
Bunyan'S "Pilgrim's Progress" and
the greatest Epic of the English Ian
guage, Millions Paradise Lost" In
literature not diStinctively religious,
where the chief writers of poeSy and
prose, essays and fiction figure, we
find Jesus enthroned. For confrma-
ton of this, look into the writings of
the BrowningS, Shakespeare, Tcnny-
son, Macauley, Carlyle and the like.
And how has Jesus The entree of
such literature? Because the litera-
tours are looking for the mastering
themes of the world, and they are
found in Him, of whom Carlyle said
"1igher has the human thought not
risen than in Jesus" M. B.

Engineer Wright Was Discharged

Claude l. 'Engle in Dixie: The trus-
tees seem TO be satisfied TO hear the
charges made against Chief Engineer
Wright and 10 hear Chief Engineer
Wrights denial. No engineer has been
employed by the trustees to inspect the
work of Chief Engineer Wright TO take
up the specific charges that were made
against him by his SubordinateS and TO
find by ACTUAL OBSERVATION
whether or not they were true.
marvel at this. can not under
stand why the trustees did not employ
competent engineers 10 check up Chief
Engineer Wright'S work 10 determine
by field inspection and inspection OF
office records, the truth or falSity OF the
charges made against him, which proof
could be furnished by this inspection.
do not marvel at il any more, be-
cause the latest and the closing feature
of the Wright charges demonstrates 10
me that the trustees had evidence
enough TO convince them that Chief
Engineer Wright was guilty of conduct
that untitled him 10 hold his responsible
position without any further inveStiga-
ton, for under date of September 2 the
trustees have issued statement which
means that Chief Engineer Wright
HAS BEEN DISCHARGED BY THEM.
This stops the investigation that was
making. This makes il necessary fol
me to write the story OF the charges
against Chief Engineer Wright which
have been gathering material for and
which | have been promising 10 the
people for the last month.
Ii is true that, following a ridiculous
custom, the trustees have allowed the
minutes to read that Chief Engineer
Wright has RESIGNED, but every one
including each one OF the trustees
KNOWS that Chief Engineer Wrigh
was DISCHARGED.
Knowing the trustees as | do, am
aStoniShcd that they should have per
mitted any such language as that used
by Chief Engineer Wright in rendering
his resignation TO have become part oil

special legislative term, but we can not
but feel that the gentleman is making a
mistake in insisting on his right 10 serve,
in the face of the apparent facts. The
constitution seems 10 be agin' the genial
HillSborough heavy weight; at least the
governor SO conStrueS il, and we have
noticed that Gilchrisl is pretty generally
found TO be right where constitutional
point is involved. 1t has been stated
that the Angle bill, providing for the
abolition of the convict lease bill would
automatically come before the legiS
lalurc at this special session. 1t seems,
however, that this is mistake. This
bill after having been vetoed by the
governor, was submitted again 10 the
House, and the governors veto was
sustained, thus killing the bill. 1t will,
therefore, be necessary TO introduce
another measure TO bring this matter be-
fore the Legislature, which, of course,

A FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLAR CITRUS CROP.

In an article written specially for tie
Tribune, General Manager William
Chase Temple, of the Florida Citrus Ex-
change, gives his estimate of the citrus
crop OF Florida for the coming season.
Mr.. Temple says the crop this year will
be fifty per cent greater than last year,
which will make the product this year
more than seven million boxes. The
largest Florida crop on record was that
of three years ago, when it reached a
little over six million boxes.
MIR. Temple says the crop this year is
not only the heaviest on record but the
best in quality. The grapefruit crop is
unusually good and will reach two mil
lion boxes. The price OF grapefruit, he
says, will naturally come down, owing
10 the fact that there is four or five
times as much grapefruit in the State as
there was last year.
Anything like fair price for the crop,
Mr. Temple thinks, will mean that il
will bring into the State this year more
than fifteen million dollars, which is six
million dollars more than has ever been
brought into the State for a citrus crop.
These figures are very encouraging
and, coming from Mr.. Temple, they are
unqueStionably accurate. The improved
methods of handling the crop will tell
this year in the prices received and the
elimination of the immature shipments
will also have an excellent effect in
maintaining prices.
That fifteen million dollars will come
into the State this winter from one in.
duStry alone ought 10 be sufficient 10
demonstrate the wonderful resources Of
Florida, now just beginning 10 be fully
developed and operated. When we add
TO this handsome sum realized from the
citrus industry, the vast totals which are
yielded by the timber, the naval stores,
the phosphate, the cigar, the vegetable
and the fishing industries we can be as.
Surcd OF the permanent prosperity OF our
State and of the fact that the full tide OF
that prosperity has by no means been
reached.

and intelligence TO the task, ''lead on
