From The Files OF The Citizen

"Your boulevard is one of the
finest pieces of road in the
United States and the best in
Florida declared H. N. Roden-
baugh, vice president of the Flor
ida East Coast Railway, during a
talk yesterday and concluded by
saying 1T represents the best I'M
vestment Of public funds which
could have been made" The high
railroad official made the trip
over the boulevard with VIM. r..
Porter, John Costar, agent for
the F. E. G. in Key West, and
Andrew j. Miller, executive Of
the P. and o. S. S. Co. Mr..
Roaenbaugh was, and is, of the
opinion that the extension to
White street should be carried
out and complete the way to the
logical terminus. "The boule-
ward will prove to be one of the
greatest advertisements you could
have. OF this there can be no
manner of doubt, and win not
be at al surprised if it does prove
the drawing power which will
bring hundreds of visitors who
win come for the sole purpose Of
reviewing this magnificent stretch
of roadway"

walked away. Soon the others
went to their rooms. They were
all more tired than they cared to

The next morning Ramon Vas

ship was passing over famous race
track Just as the cars were lining
UP for the start. He noticed that
there was an interval between the
car In pole position and the next
two cars, then another interval and
the next three cars followed by an
other interval and then q pair Of
cars, m interval and the last car.
These positions are clearly shown in
the illustration above. The cars, in
position as described, carried the
following numbers: seven, two,
eight, one, nine, six, three, four, and
1lve. The plane pilot then noticed
that, grouped Is the cars were, the
number Of the first car (seven) null

the five thousand marked a crisis in
the ministry of Jesus. The people
were so impressed that they insisted.
much to his annoyance, that he
should be crowned king of Israel.
Precisely how our Lord managed to
feed so many is a mystery. 1t may
be that many families in the crowd
had provisions hidden under togas
and shawls, and that all that the
Master did was to set an unselfish
example by distributing the five
loaves and two fishes donated by
the boy. At any rate the miracle
teaches effectively that the greatest
results are possible from the small
est means.

Golden Text: John 5:36.
The sick man at the pool Of
Bethesda inspires us with a sense Of
pity. After SCATTERING his health
by a Life of sensual indulgence he
lay for SO years a hopeless paralytic.
Bethesda is perhaps the Virgins
pool, near the Temple, the only
natural spring in Jerusalem. The
stirring of the waters was perfectly
natural, but popular superstitu-
ton ascribed it to supernatural
power.
The tragedy Of this pathetic ease
is that people had ceased to notice
this invalid of such long standing.
A forlorn, lonely soul he just didn't
count. Such a case of neglect made
an instant appeal to the Master.
"Do you wish to become a healthy
MANI" he asked. Of course the poor
fellow did, but it is doubtful if he
expected a cure after so many long
years Of disappointment. Besides he
did not know Jesus at all Tvs. 13).
Instead, then, of healing the man as
a reward of faith, which was the
usual practice of Jesus, the miracle
was wrought to produce faith.
Note also that the paralytic was
cured without being touched, and
without the use Of gestures or for
mulae.
