John Whit, a young man who was
sentenced to the renitentiary for life
at the last term of Circuit Court, has
been paroled to Parkhurst Sleeth, who
took great interest in setting right an
apparent error in the evidence, which
did not develop until after sentence
had been passed, which indicates that
Whit, who is only about 20 years old,
was not even an accessory to the
crime, for which he had received a
life penitentiary sentence.
W. B. Rariden & Son shipped a car
load of cattle Monday and car of
hogs Tuesday both to the st. Louis
market. The Times is sorry to note
that while driving these hogs to the
shipping yards at DeLassus, five of
them were overcome by heat and
died. They represented loss to Rar-
iden & Son of $3.50, which was total
loss. This is but one Of the many
risks that are constantly liable to be-
set the shipper.

ers also are thus quoted; D, 25. %, 81,
so and 81. The thirty first chapter is
more copiously quoted than any of the
others an interesting fact when we
consider the rare interest that centers
about its prophecies not yet fulfilled.
1t is further worthy of notice that the
thirty-first chapter pointedly foretels
the fulfillment of several very con-
spicuous portions of the law of Moses.
The further the student goes. the more
he sees that jeremiah is so inextric-
ably interviewer with all the rest of
the Bible that we are forced to take
it all or leave it all.
One of the strangest of all the facts
to be here recorded is that the twenty
third chapter. which your critic says
is the only genuine one in the book
and must therefore have gotten in
there by the mistake of some ancient
and ignorant scribe. is one of the few
that is not quoted at all in the New
Testament and has none of the high
endorsement enjoyed by the portions
so willingly castigated by the critic
How marvellous that God should have
neglected to have His Spirit guide
His servants in their writings and en-
dorse the most important chapter in
the book. But it is remembered that
God has said: "As the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are My
thoughts higher than your thoughts. .
1t cannot be believed that all these
things have happened accidentally.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-07-12

God in His wisdom has placed His
special seal on that which needed
sealing, and the rest He has passed
by with proper silence. God is not a
blunderer, and those who study His
word topically and with painstaking
reverence are quicker 10 perceive this
fact than are those who merely read
1t a dozen times to make a record.
There is a class of Bible students in
the city now pursuing the study OF
the prophecy of jeremiah. and they
are finding that jeremiah, in warning
the Jews to submit TO Nebuchadnez-
gar was acting marvelously in line
with the predictions of Moses. the
prophecies of Daniel, and the suisse
quent events of recorded history.
Fzekial's testimony also assures them
that the debasement of the king OF
Judah and the exaltation of the Baby
lonian to universal empire and to the
treading down of Jerusalem was part
of the divine decree, so vividly stamp
ed at later date with the approval
of the Messiah Himself, in His mem
orable words recorded in Luke 21:24.

DAY OF RECKONING.

Public health work of Escambia county,
through the Rockefeller foundation, is assured
stimulating cooperation, provided the commits
sioners of this county will meet the foundation
on fifty-fifty basis putting up dollar for dol
lar for the work that is contemplated The State
Board of Health has offered to cooperate with
the city and county in its health program here,
by an appropriation of one-thrd the salary of a
full-tme health officer
But the county and city officials sit tight and
refuse either to cooperate with the state or the
Rockefeller foundation, to do anything at all
to safeguard the public health.
But the day of reckoning will come, swift and
sure. 1t came last fall Pensacola lost at that
time some of its noblest citizens 1t may be said
that Pensacola suffered from the flu as other
cities suffered. But this is not strictly true.
Ask the undertakers, ask the nurses, ask the
members of the emergency relief committee, ask
the women of the Red Cross, ask the doctors and
the men who were detailed on duty from the
naval air station and Fort Barrancas if they
did not state, not once but repeatedly that sani-
tary conditions in Pensacola at that time had
much to do with the terrible toll of death

conditions to continue here prevail at this
time, and which menace to the health of
this community and which are keeping people
away who would come here, and which are send
ing people back home after they do come here?
Why do not the men who compose the bust
ness organizations those men who drafted reso-
lutions last year to the memory of those splendid
civilian heroes who died literally fighting disease
that this city and county are given their just
share of health appropriations?
1t was too late last year when your brothers
died-those splendid men who meant so much
to the life of this community But it is not too
late today to the life of that other brother
that member of your club, your lodge your or
ganization, to safeguard the life of your child,
who minges with other children in the public
schools, to safeguard the life of your son. to
safeguard the life of your daughter
Public opinion is the greatest force in the
world. 1t is the force that is making Baltimore
today of the greatest cities in the world
where they are literally botting out poverty and
disease. 1t is the force that is saying to the
hde-bound politician: "Stand and deliver

places, and is demanding that they spend as
much on the protection of the health of the coun-
ty and community they spend on nonessentals
Most communities willing to at least CO.

serving the health of their section It seems
that Pensacola and Escambia county not only
refuse to accept cooperation, but refuse to do
anything at all for the preservation of the health
of this section.

"FoR MUNICIPAL PURPOSES"

A movement is on foot in Pensacola to re-
strain the city commissioners from selling the
100000 bond issue which the commissioners had
intended to place on the market Monday
The leaders of this movement point out that
this sale cannot legally be made as the city
charter specifically states that 'in all elections
determining the expenditure of money for the
assumption of debt, only those shall be qualified
voters who pay taxes on real or personal prop
erty.''
In calling the election, the city commissioners
not only made the statement that in order to
vote 1t was not necessary to be a property-owner
but went to the trouble of crcularizing the city
to that effect, and it with this understand
ing that the votes of the people were cast.
There has been a rapidly growing sentiment
in Pensacola against the sale of these bonds,
which has reached its height since the exposure
by The Journal of the financial middle at the
city hall.
The bill introduced in the legislature, and on
which the commissioners base their right to di-
vert these bonds, which were originally intended
for housing purposes, specifically says: '"rhe
board of said city may by resolution determine
that these bonds may be sod and issued for
any one of said purposes (that is ex-
tending and improving the city's water system,
and for grading and paving and curbing or other
wise improving streets) OR ANY OTHER
MUNICIPAL PURPOSES AS THE BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS OF SAID CITY MAY BY
RESOLUTION DETERMINE.
1t is claimed by many of those who are lead
ing in the movement for injunction against the
sale of these bonds that there is nothing in the
bill to compel the city commissioners to these
bonds for paving and sewerage improvements in
Pensacola, but that the money may be used for
''other municipal purposes"
Mayor Sanders has stated that John Thomp-
son, recognized authority, has approved the
bond issue. But the fact that these bonds have
met with the approval of an authority on bonds
in another state does not by any means validate
an issue of bonds which not legal according
to the laws governing the city of Pensacoa
One thing seems very clear. And that is that
these bonds should not be placed on sale Monday
until it has been proven that the procedure
which seeks to divert this issue from its original
purpose is legal in every way.

These excerpts from the letters of Paul. writ
ten two thousand years ago. might have been
written today, for back of the words addressed
to the Hebrews is the basic idea which Woodrow
Wilson is presenting to the people of America
today, in the senate of the United States of
America
When Paul sought to present to the people a
new covenant, he found some who wished to hold
fast to the shadow of things, and who quoted to
him the laws then in effect.
They were 10th to relinquish the old covenant
for the new of the obstructionists
of today to take better covenant (which shall
be unto us and to all peoples"
One of the outstanding facts of the great war
is that the successful leaders the side of vic
tory are men of God, humble Christians who be-
lieve in the power of the Almighty and prayed
daily to the God of Hosts, who gave to them the
victory.
These same men have sat in the councils of
the nations and have framed new covenant
because the old covenants have proved made
quate to meet the changing conditions.
"For if the covenant had been faultless, there
would have been place for the second. I will
put my laws into their mind and write them on
their hearts,
Is this not what the covenant of the League
of Nations seeks to do? To put into the minds
and write upon the hearts of the people the
Truth that will make them free?
The men who have framed this covenant do
not claim that it will always be new. That it
will meet the needs of the people two thousand
years from now They claim that it is the best
they can pledge now to meet conditions now, and
because they believe it is good now, they do not
claim that it may not be improved upon hundreds
of years from now. THAT which decayeth and
waxeth old is ready to vanish away" But be-
cause thing is old and decayed, and not fit to
meet the needs of the present does not argue
that it has never been of use.
He is the mediator of a better covenant, which
has been established upon better promises" The
old order changeth, and with these changes new
laws must be made to cover new conditions
No one has claimed that the covenant of
the League of Nations is faultless. 1t is the best
that be devised, with the very best thought
of Christian men, to meet the present needs
When it has met those needs, and new needs
present themselves Behold the days come
when will make a covenant"
