NEW FLORIDA PROJECTS

The probabilities are that Florida
will get consi1a ,oje mere money fer
waterways llLp:o,ements than Crl-
ginally expected.
Immediately after the reconven-
ing OF congress after the holidays re-
cess, the board of army engineers
favorably reported on Florida pro-
jects totaling $1,2O0,OOO. The
waterways bill as drafted by the
committee, of which Hon. Stephen
S. Sparkman, of Tampa, is chair
man, provided for appropriations
only for the maintenance of present
waterways and continuance of
certain other projects already under
way. No provision was made for
new work.
The favorable report of the army
engineers includes the Ocklawha
river projects, over which there has
been so much agitation and if Con-
gress acts favorably nearly $1,000
600 will be expended in improving
this waterway. There is evident
both in the committee and in con-
gress desire on the part of many
to limit expenditures this year to
the continuance of old projects and
the maintenance of waterways and
harbors already improved. Others
are in favor of more liberal approp-
riations and Eloridians who are in
terested in seeing these allowances
made will look forward to the atti-
tude of Congress as whole takes.
The favorable recommendations of
the army engineers on Florida pro-
jects include:
Ockawaha river, Florida, $780,
600.
Kissimmee river, Florida, $47,-
900.
Caloosahatchee river, $4,000.
Crystal river. Florida, $4,000.
Anclote river, Florida, $4,000.
Boca Ciega bay, Florida, $4,000.

vidua so full is the life with world
ly things that we do not desire this
salvation. The invitation is to all
men to come. Christ Jesus saves men
not III their sins, but from them
saves from sins dominion Christ
also saves from the penalty of sin,
setting aside the judgments of the
Father, accepting in His own body
the penalty for our sins, giving His
life that we might have life, pictur-
ing the man who rejects this saliva
ton, his eternal death, closing with
the comforting thought that Jesus
saves from the sting of death. Fall
ing asleep in Christ Jesus the Chris
tian does not die, but passes from
this world to the glory world.
Three new members were added to
the church by letter at the close of
the evening worship.

FINE SERMONS DELIVERED
YESTERDAY BY REV. WEAR

Sunday morning services at the
First Baptist church were especially
full CT the spirit of worship. Bro.
Wears text, Know We the spirit of
God" struck the key note to many
life. Some who knew not this spir-
it were made to think. Those who
were trying to interpret the spirit
found strength. The spirit of God
which was upon the earth when all
was darkness, which created out of
void this vast universe, speaking in
the lives of men gives an experience
and knowledge which enables those
who know the spirit of God to tes-
tify The spirit a guide to all truth,
kept by the spirit we are enabled to
interpret Christ, showing us the hid
den things. The convincing convict
ing power of the spirit convincing
us of the error of our ways, convict
ing us of sin. Led by the spirit to
accent salvation, we are converted,
or turned away from the paths OF
sin. Born anew through faith in
Jesus Christ, we are sealed unto the
day OF redemption-this seal only to
be broken by the Lion of the tribe
of Judah E"
In the application of the text, Bro.
Wear urged all to grow in Grace, to
bear fruit, to study Gods word. BY
this word our pathway will be IL
lumined. We will be kept by the
spirit through this life; led by the
spirit to all the beauties and blessed
ness of a life eternal in Christ Jesus.
