CHURCHES PLAN MOVEMENT
To PREVENT CUBA FROM
BECOMING, 4 MONTE CARLO
(By Associated Press.)

Havana, Dec. 13.-Plans of an in
ter-church world movement for a
campaign to prevent Cuba from be-
coming the Monte Carlo of the West
ern World" were announced recently
in New York, and have drawn sharp
editorial retorts from newspapers.
The general opinion appears to be
that gambling conditions are no worse
in Cuba than in the United States and
the only problem the island faces is
that of liquor which may be imported
with visitors from the states recently
gone dry.

Bishop Gambler has a way of say
ing things peculiarly his own, and
never let's real opportunity pass in
speaking for Christian education. Iu
statement he said that sausage Is
high and manhood low when a man
will give $1,000 for hog and only
$100 to Christian college.
The purpose of preaching, the Bish-
cp stated in one of his splendid talks,
is not primarily to teach morals nor
ethics, as important as these are, but
to enthrone Christ in human hearts
Person, not principle we are to seek,
and instead of getting back to the
sermon on the mount, we are to get
back to the Preacher who preached
it. The power of Christ should be In
every sermon.
No man can say that Jesus is the
Lord unless the Spirit reveal Him as
He did to Peter. Neither flesh nor
blood can make such revelation.
AS has been before stated, much of
the business of an Annual Confer
ence is done by boards and commit
tees, and number of these held i'm
pcrtant meetings this afternoon. 9th
ers are meeting tonight. The Bishop
and his cabinet are also very busy in
their two sessions day trying to
look after their part of the work.
At no session of the Florida Con-
ference has the spirit of harmony and
brotherliness been more manifest
than at this one. All appear to feel
not only the responsibility Of the
work. but the thrill that comes
through a consciousness of nobly
meeting this responsibility And
while the members of the Conference
are enjoying their work, the man.
visitors are catching inspiration and
sharing in the satisfaction of achieve

EMBARGO AGAINST
PASSENGER TRAVEL TO
FLORIDA MISTAKE
David Jameson, of New Castle, Ind,
President of the American Automo.
bile Association, Who Is visi.
tor Here, Says That the More
People Who Come to Florida
the More Coal Is Saved
In the North

Jacksonville, Dec 12.-The embar.
60 against passenger train travel to
Florida at this time is a serious mat
ter to this state, and mistake be-
cause the more people who come to
Florida in the winter the more coal
is saved in the North, is the opinion
of David Jameson, of New Castle, Pa,
president of the American Automo-
bile Association. But there are other
reasons against the limitation Of
tourist travel to Florida, he thinks.
Mr.. Jameson is a lover of Florida,
and proves it by migrating to the
state Of sunshine and flowers eacn
year to escape the rigors of Pennsyl-
yania winters. He believes that the
time is not far distant when greater
eumbers of Northern people will
come to understand the value to
health and happiness OF making their
winter hones here.
Trips to Florida
In the city Of New Castle, with its
population of $4,000 people, at least
twenty people yearly secure informa-
tion and aid from him in planning
their trips to Florida, he stated.
When the railroad administration be-
gan advertising California in the fall
many people had their minds CEN
tered upon that state, and then the
magazines carried the story of Flor
ida. Florida being so much closer
and possessing things favorable for a
winter season found nowhere else in
this country, received the favorable
attention of people whom he knows.
But by coming to Florida coal would
be saved, for there is sufficient sun
shine in the state without any coal
to keep warm and enjoy living.
Mr.. jameson is accompanied by H.
S. A. Stewart, vice president Of the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company,
Pittsburgh. They are spending a
few days. here, while waiting for
their automobiles to arrive from
Pittsburgh. They will then proceed
to Miami to their winter homes.
Mr.. Stewart is also life friend Of
Fiorida's. AS long as he lives, he
says, he shall continue to come to
Florida for the winter. Business nor
any other consideration is permitted
to prevent his yearly pilgrimage.
Mr.. Jameson is great booster Of
good roads, and he believes in the
practice of common sense by humans
on plane with the robins and other
birds, which make yearly migrations
to Florida.
when you look at this sunshine
and see the birds | wonder how you
can keep people away from Florida.
And you will not keep them away,
in time they will be as thick as flies

Florida's Best Friends

Floridas Best Friends
Speaking Of motoring he said:
Those interested in travel by motor
cars ought to be the best friends
Florida has There is no other place
to motor to-" He referred to the
winter season.
But the Waycross road prevents
motoring in heavy cars to any great
extent. Yet thousands are coming
over the rough roads. While attend
ing an executive meeting of direc-
tors of the American Automobile AS
sociation in Washington last Satur-
day Mr.. jameson said he noted the
number of people in the information
office there inquiring about Florida
roads. Apparently Florida was the
one point they wished to know about,
and the bureau was positively
crowded, he said. Yet there are
thousands who never make the start,
having learned that the roads are
rough and injurious to automobiles.
Motor clubs are performing a great
service in the dissemination of motor
travel information, was his belief.
The A. A. A. maintains bureaus in
Washington and New York with high
ly trained stats, and sends represen-
tatiyes thousands of miles over roads
to secure first hand information.
The good roads movement has now
progressed beyond the infancy stage
and is promoting itself. But the au-
tomobile clubs are watching results
and assisting in the Improvement Of

joined in singing a song of inspha-

means and methods employed.
Mr. Jameson issued a warning Of
the danger of losing the federal aid
In road building. "The states, as
states are not doing their share in
the good roads movement. They're
undertaking to side step their re-
sponsibility and leave it to the fed.
eral government on the one hand and
the local communities on the other
hand, whereas they should recognize
that states as states have a very i'm.
portant part in bringing better roads
to the communities and state. Neg
lecting to do that the states will find
future appropriations of federal mon.
ey will be allotted more and more to
those states which do, by the authori-
zatioD of bonds issued and otherwise.
show a disposition to cooperate with
the federal agencies.
Only One Rival
There's certainly no state in the
Union which has more to gain from
good roads, dissemination of informa.
ton and success of all things which
the motor organizations are working
for, than has the state of Florida. It
has only one possible rival, in its at.
fractions as a winter playground. as
a place of refuge from the rigors of
Northern climate for those who vital.
ity is weakened by age, and who have
discovered if they will borrow a little
wisdom from the birds and seek the
Sunny South as cold approaches,
they will lengthen life.
Florida is not only a winter play.
ground, most accessible; but it is
the great winter sanitarium of the
nation"
Mr.. Jameson stressed the value Of
making Florida veritable haven for
those OF advanced years. He said
that 1t was so unusual for the sun to
shine in western Pennsylvania at this
time of the year, that it was gener-
ally remarked when the sun did
shine out. People here hardly could
be expected to realize just what that
means, but there is no doubt in Mr..
Jameson's mind that the state will
finally discover value comparable to
coal or iron in its Fairgrounds and
sanitariums.
