Senator John sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, is known as one Of the
most sagacious of our public men
in matters of Craftsmanship, but it
was not suspected that he could
also come out strong on theology .
Recently he delivered an address in
Philadelphia from which we take
the following which will meet the
views of great many people in this
country in matters spiritual:
"My theology of life is that God
is as good to His children as we are
to ours, and you know that, while
we chide and chastise them for
their sins, we always forgive them
and always love them. He put us
here with the birds and trees and
flowers to make us happy. I be
lieye that men and women who try
to be good fellows" in that they

lis climate for an increase in value
of over 204 per cent of farm lands
in Florida between 1900 and 1910,
according to the thirtieth census,
with less than one-eighth OF its
area under cultivation. In the per-
centage of increase in value OF farm
property Florida ranked eighth
among the States; in the value OF
farm buildings the seventh; in live
stock the ninth; and these proper
tional values are not due to the rise
in prices, as these affected all States
alike. A most significant indication
of Florida's prosperity is the fact
that, according to recent state
ment of the per capita deposits in
national banks, it stood second OF
the thirteen southern States, Texas
being first with $40. % for each in
habitant and Florida next with
s39. II.
If perchance there are those who
think that Florida owes its pros
perity largely to the money spent by
winter tourists, 10 its early vege-
tables and its superior citrus fruits,
facts controvert this idea. Of course,
tourists in large numbers come TO
this greatest American peninsula in
the winter, escaping from the ice
bound north to enjoy its genial eli
mate. Moreover, becoming personal
~ acquainted with its resources,
many of these winter visitors invest
large sumo here, and thus in two
WAYS aid in it's development. Its

tables-the latter including nearly
