HH I Er EE a A ------ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1925 l. "PRESENT TENSE" IS At the Winnetka Congregational church tomorrow the Rev. James A. Richards will preach on the topic, "The Present Tense." The church school began last Sunday with a large attendance. A week from tomorrow the Men's and Women's Bible classes will start their regular sessions. Con- ditions seem to indicate a prosperous new season for the church organi- zations "The statement is often made," com- ments a church official, "that the pres- ent is the most thrilling and important time even if the future has a very alluring glow and the past its pleasant memories. Are not the great days of religious power receding? Is it not in a weakened condition waiting for some great future awakening? Could it be possible that here and now re- ligion is the greatest force in the world?" _ What Mr. Richards says on the sub- ject will be not simply from the stand- point of a preacher but quite as much from that of a well-informed thought- ful, clear-eyed citizen of the world. The music will be up to its usual high standard. Miss Lacy and Mrs. Slade will sing, "They shall hunger no more," from Gauls, "Holy City" and "Power Eternal," from Rossini's 'Stabat Mater." H. O. Olney Speaker at Evangelical Services H. O. Olney will be the speaker at the Scandinavian Evangelical church services Sunday evening, September 27, at 8 o'clock, in the church edifice at 886 Elm street. Bible school will convene at 10:30 o'clock in the morn- ing, and the young people will have their services at 5 o'clock. Miss C. Jessen will sing at the evening ser- vices.

Wortly, in Com- munity House to perfect some of these plans. Camp Fire Girls will meet in Com- munity House on Thursday after- noons.

According to all reports, Merritt's Island is in the initial stages of a big boom. The Miami Herald on Sept. 14th announced that Wm. Mac Adoo and the Taatums, the builders of the Florida East Coast Ry. and the most prominent developers in Florida, have just bought over one thousand acres on Merritt's Island and will spend over a million dollars in im- mediate development. This means increased values and substantial profits to holders of Merritt's Island Property. Why pay fancy prices for interior property when you can get splendid homesites on the EAST COAST, WHERE THE BIG PROFITS HAVE BEEN MADE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE MADE. at rock bottom prices? Florida has the lowest death rate of any state in the Union, the finest winter climate and most fertile soil in the United States. Four crops can be grown on the same land in one year. Think of the yield and crop value per acre. 80% of the world's output of phosphate is mined in Florida. It is the only state in the Union which has the three funda- mentals of agriculture--sunshine, moisture and phosphate. With the millions which are going into permanent development, Florida's con- tinued prosperity is assured. This so-called boom is not a 'flash in the pan." Read what Barron Collier, who has invested vast sums in Florida in the past ten years, has to say in Forbes Magazine of Sept. 15th: "Florida's so-called boom is different from any other boom in history, for Florida's boom will last. Why? Because it is nothing but the visible symptom of bringing into use the vast richness of the land itself."" For further information, plats, terms, etc., telephone Wilmette 698.
