ROTAR|ANS HEAR
 REV. BOB JONES
Local Club to Hold Model Luncheon At Tampa
 Convention

The Rev. Bob Jones, the well-known evangelist, who is conducting services at the Highland Methodist church, made a splendid talk to the Rotary Club yester- day afternoon in the ballroom of the Tut wiler hotel on the Secret of Success" |"
 His talk, while short, was intersperced
 with several jokes which greatly pleased
 the Rotarians and their visitors. He declared that it was harder for a 1 man to succeed now as never bofere in I the history was the world so keyed up as it is at present. Despite the unrest un- certainty and chaos of the times every l man can succeed if he so desired and works to that end, he stated. The speaker referred to ancestry and environment, | which would not keep any one from sue l cess if they wished to attain it. in his | opinion.
 | "It is not for our ancestors to make us,' '' | said the Rev. MT. Jones, but for US to l make our ancestors famous and by win ming success for ourselves we can dc | this. Regardless of ancestors or environ
 nent a man who makes a place for him self is making his ancestors, for people will begin to find out who his ancestors were.
 Making money is not success, all though you might make money while you | succeed, but that can't buy happiness and the things a man values most. Do- l ing what God made you to do and being what God made you is the thing today. and you will succeed if you stick to your God-given job"
 He spoke of the birds and the fishes, and declared that when a man found his place in Gods big universe his heart will sing, and stated he would like to live one week without seeing tears, frown or hearing any one grumble, as he never had, and that would be such a wonder ful thing to him.

 and it was necessary for him to respond | to an encore.
