There were many interesting and important developments. The navy estab- lished a station here; ships came in here for mail, fuel and water; men went out in boats and brought in sponges, fish and | other commodities. For those many years the city’s popula- tion has been dependent upon the main- land firms, upon the agriculturists of Cuba 00 | and elsewhere, for their vegetables and | many of their fruits.

H i “BEST SNEEZER” CONTEST | GALVESTON, Texas—On Oc- tober 31, Galyeston staged its’ Jesus pointed out these eternal truths to his hearers, and in doing so, by implication condemned the cutward formalism of the worship as practiced by the Pharisees and in the current Jewish fashions. The great Master was hopeful of accomplishing his purpose by in- pose in life. The human heart was to be reflected in conduct and action but the image would be false if the outward conduct was hypocritical and insincere. Therefore, he pointed out the fu- tility and sham involved in mere- ly going through religious exer- cises or worthy deeds prompted by improper, selfish motives. If man could be persuaded to act sincerely and be inspired by the principles of his kingdom, Jesus knew that his kingdom would immediately come on earth.

It was a struggle to be rich, to possess the things of earth in greater measure than others. Jesus sought to show that these things were not permanent, that they could not be carried into eternal life; therefore, it be- hooves us to live right for the life to come which would endure and not be transient. No man could serve the purposes of the kingdom and also make money- grabbing his first purpose, hence the warnings of Jesus against’ treasures on earth and poverty in the spiritual. Towards the close af the chap- ter, five times in ten verses Jesus advises his audience to “be not Milton Evans, Glerk of Session 2nxious”.
