VIOLETS.
LET CONVERSATION BE GODLY.
Contributed by J. T. Olive, Benson.
Dear Editor: —I will write a lit
tle and hope it may do some good.
, As I notice anjl watch people and
see how so many are doing, as well
as the conversation and subjects of
them. Now God says, let your con
versations be godly, but instead of
that they are mostly anything but
godly. N«t that I want to find fault,
because 1 do not know how to
for them. Now is the time and yonder
just ahead is Eternity, and people’s
souls (that Jesus Christ died to save)
is going on to that never ending
Eternity. Where shall they spend it—
Eternity. As I was traveling and
preaching once I called on a certain
deacon of the church that I might
preach Jesus to them, but he refused
me. Now how can he expect Jesus to
take him in at the Resurrection of
the just, and say to him, Come ye
blessed of my father, when I was in
lyonder world I was a stranger and
ye took me not' in. Instead of taking
him in, he had turned him off, and
not only turned him off from him
self—he turned him from others al
so.
Now what does God say about such
as that, and where shall such spend
that never ending Eternity, and where
shall we spend it? Oh, that men
would think of this and think of the
time the Master said that they
should be doing these things and as
a snare should it come on all them
that dwell upon the face of the whole
earth. 'Now that proves that we are
all on 'our way to Eternity. Where
shall we spend it?.
We may all know very well where
we will spend according to
our ways and present conditions. If
we have b'een born of the Spirit and
of water (the water of Life) and con
tinue to the end, we shall forever
with in glory. But
on the oPier hand if we refuse him
thnt spake on earth, what will the
o’-d be of them that forarot God. Oh,
T o v d. heln peonle to see where they
7 soon golnrr to sne-cl Eternitv.
Mv dear Christian brethren, let us
hoM out faithful to the end, and we
A-ipH have a crown of life and meet
no more to part. j

In my previous correspondence i
have said nothing about this great
system of which were built
by Mr. Flayler only a few years ago,
which embraces a direct line 'from
Jacksonville to Key West of over
500 miles in length, besides several
miles of branch roads. This- was a
wdnderful achievement and one which
has added millions of wealth and a
vast population to eastern as well a:
southern Florida. When we remember
that only a few years ago that all of
this beautiful region of country along
the eastern shores of Florida was
comparatively unsettled, and now that
we have many thriving towns and
villages with a vast population which
is growing rapidly every day, we
must admit that this man Flagler was
a great captain of industry and es
pecially so when we remember that
'Mu"pf-4ifs-*roau was run
over and cross the water to Key 7
We*t. It is said that had he lived a
few years longer that he anticipated
crossing over to Havana with his
road which he might have accom
uvi '.hed- in some way by 7 his great in—
g-e unity.
This system has not only been of
igreat help for the business interests
of the country but alteo a good paying
investment for the stockholders as
it does an immense business both in
freights and passenger travel.
It is perhaps one of the very best-
Equipped roads extant.
