Kansas, Has Spent the Past Three Weeks
Baskin' m the Bright Sunshine of Jackson
vile and St. Augustine, Fla.

St. Augustine, Fiat Is wonderful
to see the flowers in bloom, people ped
ding vegetables fresh from the garden,
and to be basking in the sunshine of
Florida while other people are almost
freezing. God has done such wonder.

In America we have q winter place to
60 to keep warm and summer place to
60 to keep cool, and the fellow with
plenty Of money has only to get around
and enjoy it, and that is exactly what
many Of them are doing today, and viii
continue to do until God gets ready for
them. OF course we are going to win
this war, because it is necessary for
us to do SO, and If we fail, then I hardly
know what win do, for will not
be able to turn my farm into cash, and
If I did the cash would not be Of much
value.
Money is not as valuable as it used
to be; that is to say we cannot get as
much for it as we could long time ago,
and it viii be long time before it will
bring as much as it used to bring; but
let US continue to try to get hold Of it,
and our sons are going to France, and to
Germany too and win bring back the
kaiser, and it will be well with US. OF
course we are going to do this. Then
in addition to this our people are invest
ing their money with the Government.
There are some two by eiphers talking
about the Government might 60 broke,
and then we would be out Of our money.
It is the Government behind the money
which gives it value, and IL the Gov
eminent should 60 broke then we are al
to paupers, and would have to
beg the winner to let us live. But |
America is going to win this war, and
put that in your pipe and smoke it, say
ng told you so.
I have spent three weeks with Bishop
John Hurst, but will be away from him
before you can read this letter. I an
yoing to another part of the world
n fact I am headed for the East, and
will have q few things to say to you
when I get to that part Of the world.
Bishop Hurst is q great man, and he is
Icing q great work. We have made
lew Florida for his church, and the men
re doing more work now than ever
'efore in the history Of the state. With
thousands Of people gone to the north,
hey are doing more work and making
more friends.
The men down here in Florida are
Working in love and harmony, and have
ecided that they are going to do things
n the state. They remember the days
f n. N. Moore, 8. b. Coleman, and
ther great leaders who have gone from
hem, and to my surprise they have said
hat they are going to land in the
White House q man from Florida. You
ee the financial department is called the
N. e. Church White House, and there
welleth there now Prof. John r Haw-
ins. They say he is q good man, and
as rendered great service for the
hurch, but as the president can only
emain 30 long, the Florida men think
hat he should get aside now and let
}. n. Baxter come to the front, and
hey have passed resolutions in the East
florida conference saying that tbis viii
e their slate in the next general con-
erenee. DR.. Baxter is q good man and
as done a great work down here. BE

ian. he knows how to handle money,
nd how to figure on the pennies a.

But, coming back to Bishop Hurst,
e is accompanied through his work by
ID wife, Mrs. K. Bertha Hurst, and she
q great help not alone to the Bishop,
ut to the people. She il in touch with
he women, and every woman can reach
