W. ]. THORN LECTURES
UNDER AUSPICES BIBLE
STUDENTS ASSOCIATION

W. J. Thorn, of Boston, Mass, spoke
to a good sized audience at the City
Hall Wednesday night on the subject,
Millions Now Living Will Never
Die He was given close attention as
he presented the scriptures to prove
his statement.
The lecture was under the auspices
of the International Bible Students
Association of New York. Mr.. Thorn
said in part: 1.-THE regeneration of
the human race has been the hope of
Christians for centuries, which hope
is based upon Gods promise to Abra-
ham when he said. In thy seed shall
all the families of the earth be
blessed Genesis 12:3D
THAT we have reached that time in
human history was clearly proven. II
is therefore confidently expected from
the scriptures that 1925 will mark
the end of wars, famine, pestilence,
anarchy and general disturbances,
and the restoration of man will pro-
gress from that time forward. Those
living in 1925 and thereafter, coming
to a knowledge of the truth and being
obedient to the truth will be gradual
ly restored to perfection of body and
mind and will live on the earth for
ever in a state of happiness. Then
shortly after this their loved ones will
return from the grave (see John
5:2S, 29) and be privileged to live
their lives over again with their loved
ones upon earth. 1t will be incumbent
upon all to truly repent and accept
Jesus as their savior and king. All
who refuse to do so, the scriptures
declare, will be cut off and destroyed
with Satan, and all the willing and
obedient may live forever on the re-
stored and perfected earth (see Acts
3:19-2),"

was the occasion for stressing the
value of grapefruit juice as proven

was felt that Lakeland can render a

spreading the word that Southland

a mass meeting at some future date
for the purpose of selecting men
whom the mass-meeting would be
willing to recommend as candidates
for the legislature to be voted for in
the June primary. Expressions were
called for and practically all present
expressed the opinion that a mass
meeting should be called at an early
date, and after full discussion, upon
motion unanimously carried, com
mittee was appointed to call the mass
meeting and give general publicity to
it so that every community in the
county might be represented. The
committee was composed of a man
from Fort Meade "a cattle mani,
man from Winter Haven, and one
from Lakeland, together with the
chairman of the County Democratic
Executive committee. The meeting
was called for January goth. and thor
oughly advertised and was held on
that date. The court room was filled
with people from all parts of the coun-
ty, and after full and free discussion
the chairman called for suggestions
of names to be recommended. The
meeting was open to any and every
man in Polk county to suggest names
if they so desired. Only two names
were suggested. that of Mr.. Thomas
w. Bryant of Lakeland and Mr.. b.
X Billiard of Lake Wales. and these
were endorsed by the meeting with
out a dissenting voice.
The meeting was not mo fence
law meeting but it was meeting
of progressive citizens who presented
names as candidates in whom they
have confidence. If these men are
sent to the legislature, so far as the
meetings that brought them out are
concerned, they go untrammelled by
any pledges, and without any strings
tied to them. If the question of mo
fence law is brought up, as it prob
ably will be, these men can be re-
lied on to do nothing radical but will
give the consideration to every Ques-
ton that it deserves.
AS to the wisdom of enacting a mo
fence" law, the writer feels that if
any step of that kind is proposed, it
should be handled with great care

opinion of the writer, are the senti- |

and he believes the same sentiments |
are entertained by majority of the |
people of Polk county. He believes
if our people will get together and in
friendly way talk over these mat
tiers, they will find that most of them
agree on most of the questions vital
to the best interests of the people as
a whole. We would soon learn that
anything which works injury to any
one industry, in some measure in
jures all the others. We must not be

In all probability there are

there will be large numbers of

to absorb or heed the advice and

Police and Court Activities.
1t will. therefore, be up to the
Police Department and to the
courts to give more impressive
lessons. Unusual activity is being
shown by traffic policemen and
