Jesus Shows His Power, Mark
4:35-5:8,18-2O, for Sunday Feb
26:
Was Jesus really weary and sleep
ing, or did He only seem to be in
order to teach his disciples to trust
him?. Why?
In what ways are human sins and
vices like demons?
If there be such a thing, when is
wrong ever profitable to society in
the highest sense?
II miracles are denied, how ex-
plain the quieting of the storm?
What spiritual values may come
in time of stress and storm?
In what language today is ex-
pressed the words of the parable,
Depart out of the coasts?"
Glorious says: "Jesus will do for
us what he did for his disciples on
the Lake of Galilee. He will work
in us the spiritual transformation
which can make us in the midst Of
stormy seas keep our heads steady
and our hearts courageous, knowing
that because of the love of God
which was revealed in Him, nothing
present or to come can do us last
ing HARM
Lesson Prayer: 1--WE worship a
God whose power is such as to pro-
tect us and preserve us when in the
midst OF the severest storms and
when encountering the worlds
greatest forces of evil. Help us to
go unafraid because of a mighty
faith in a mighty God"

ment, legal punishment. Jesus pro-
ceeds to TRANSFORM the character of
this dangerous man. Here is a
Christian principle that is not ap-
piled in any large extent, because
the masses fail to give their whole
hearted support to Christianity.
v. 18. And as he was entering
into the boat, he that had been pos
sessed with demons besought him
that he might be with him. The
first impulse of many new converts
is to undertake greater tasks than
they are fitted to perform The
best place to start the Christian
life Is first in the home "Go to thy
house, unto thy friends, and tell
them how great things the Lord
hath done for thee, and how he had
mercy Christianity grows best by
consistent Christian testimony.
v. 20. "And he went his way and
began to publish in Decapolis how
great things Jesus had done for
him; and all men marveled." This
Christian convert was never men
toned again, but who will doubt
his place in the kingdom? Many
Christians, though unknown, are of
influence.

pointments, perils and hardships
come to the very best people. Jesus
having taken upon himself our ma
ture, became weary, and needed
sleep and rest; he knew what it
was to be tired. The disciples like
ly tried all means at their command
for safety, but in their extreme need
they sought the help of the Divine
v. 80. '.And he awoke and re-
buked the wind, and said unto the
sea, Peace, be still. And the wind
ceased and there was great calm. -
There are other storms than those
on seas, that Christ can control;
the storm of temptation and trial,
of disappointment and loss, of suf-
fering and SORROW.
V. 40. ''And he said, Why are We
fearful, have we not faith?" Fear
paralyzes faith. Jesus rebuked 'un-
belief and put fear to flight; each
zone is responsible for his own faith:
by using the little faith one has,
more faith is added.
v. a. "And they feared exceed
ingly, and said one to another, Who
then is this, that even the wind and
the seas obey him." 1t is hard to
grasp at once the wonders of God.
". L. "And they came to the 9TH
.er side of the sea, into the country
Cof the Gadarenes" Jesus was seek
ing quiet place on the eastern side
of Galilee, less populated. but even
there he was about his Fathers
business. He never took a vacation
that was without Kingdom service
VS.. .2-5. There met him out of
the tombs a man with an unclean
spirit, and no man could any more
bind him, no not with chain"
jesus power over the physical was
demonstrated in the calming of the
sea- Another demonstration is to be
made in which he subdues one
whom men with chains had failed to
control. If proof of Jesus power is
to be made, then hard case will be
used. The important teaching lis
not in the incidentals such as the
story OF the evil spirits entering
herd of swine, but in the fact that
Christ who calmed stormy sea,
calmed raging maniac.
v. s. "And when he saw Jesus
from afar, he ran and worshipped
him." The poor fellow recognized
his. own pitiful condition and start
ed toward Jesus, the first step to-
ward salvation. We must have
some conception of our true condi-
tion in sin and need OF cleansing,
before we can seek forgiveness, pur-
ity and peace. He had little faith
and used it.
VS.. 7, 8. "And crying out with a
loud voice. he saith. what have ] to
do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the
Most High God? For he said unto
him, Come forth, thou unclean
spirit. out of the man." Instead of |

A Letter From Sunny South
Winter Haven, Fla,
February 16. 1893.

Winter Haven, Fla,
February 16, 1888.
: Dear Friends in Morgan County:
Let me VISIT with you, in this let
lter from the sunshine state. Winter
| Haven is surely well named. A
small inland town. in the midst Of
the citrus industry, surrounded by
100 lakes. They are beautiful fresh
water lakes, with balmy air and
clear skies, with people who open
their hearts, and their homes. and
hospitality to visitors. This city
surely is haven to those who visit
within it's bounds.
The most outstanding thing to
visitors in Winter Haven is the cit
rus trees growing in the city. Ev-
| erywhere one can see oranges,
| grapefruits and tangerines growing.
We see them from every window.
We go into the yard and pick with
our own hands these fruits from
the trees in the yard of our gener-
GUS landlady. Occasionally one sees
papayas, kumquats, mango, avocado
pears, lines and lemon trees grow
ing on lawns in Winter Haven. Be-
sides the citrus trees, Winter Haven
has Australian oaks, eucalyptus,
palmettos, tung oil, live oak, bam-
boo and bonhenna trees. Orange
trees, dOgwood and peach trees are
now blooming Gray Spanish moss
grows in profusion over the trees.
1t trails from every limb, and hangs
in festoons from every branch tt
drapes itself over even the tele-
phone wires. 1t is not parasitical
plant, but in due time it will smoth-
er the life out of the trees. Beau
| tiful fame vines cover trellises,
| fences, grow on trees or climb to
the roofs of high buildings. Hibiscus
bushes line the streets and road
sides, poinsettias grow everywhere,
growing as high as 10 feet, their red
blossoms showing wildly as far as
block. Oleanders and castor
beans look like small trees. They
are used as borders along drive
ways. Purple, red and white bou-
gainvillea vines grow on high trel-
Uses with profusion of beautiful
flowers. Florida has many beauti-
ful trees. This state has more than
60 species of palms, the most beau
tiful being the royal and cocoanut
palm Many royal palms grow in
the city of Fort Myers. There are
beautiful cocoanut trees at Palm
Beach
Many birds greet us with their
beautiful songs. The most noted is
the southern mocking bird. At ear
ly dawn, noon and night you can
hear the mocking bird sing his hap
py varied songs Robins. blue jays,
and other warblers may be seen
here Even the crow is here in
large numbers.
All kinds of fresh water fish can
be caught in the surrounding lakes.
The catching of perch, bass, catfish
and trout is enjoyed by all who care
to take time to catch them.
! For recreation there are many
sports, such as shuffle board, cro-
quet, bowling, horseshoe, golf, ten
mis- and swimming.
/ Near Winter Haven are many
places of interest such as Box
Tower, The Carpenters Home, and
| Kissenger Springs. The large cit
rus groves of the community are
also very interesting to the tour
! lists.
! We wish to extend our best greet
ings to all our Morgan county
friends, and we wish to add that
We would like for everyone of you
to spend while down here in this
beautiful place.-Yours, Mrs j. C.
Hickerson, and Doris Robinson
