At the Sunday Evening Services of May 21, Brother Henry Silverfriend read in part from the writings of KORESH as follows : "The old heavens and the old earth are to pass away, and there will be new heavens and a new earth wherein dwells, righteousness. Reference is not made to the physical earth or heaven. In a special sense, the passage refers to the will (the earth) and the understanding (the intellect) .The will and the intellect will be changed, and the man becomes a new man (eternal) in Christ the Lord. In a general sense, the old heavens and the old earth apply to the old or existing order of things, especially the old church and its appurtenances, which, as it exits at present, is" a mixture of the primitive church with paganism, the adulteration of good and truth, by which truths (the old heavens) have become falses, and the goods (the old earth) have become evils. These will be done away in the new church. When the Messenger appears, then is the time to prepare the minds of the people; he comes for that purpose. The doctrine of the literal Word must be communicated to the people. Their ripeness is their preparation to receive the truth concerning what they shall do to resurrect the body, or put on the flesh of Christ. They will be ready to accept the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead when it is presented to them, because of their acceptance of the seed that was planted in them by the operation of the Holy Ghost, at the beginning of the Christian dispensation." Sister Barbara Ehrisman spent a pleasant day in the home of Sister Jennie Campbell May 25. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ahrano, of Tampa visited their parents, B~other Will. and Sister Abbie McCready, and Unity Friends May 28. Mr. Henry Moreland, of Fort Myers spent Sunday with Unity friends. He plans soon to motor to Colorado where he will remain for the summer . We were pleased to have with us at the Sunday Evening Services of May 28 ,our friends, Mrs. Anna Lewis and Mr. Henry Moreland. During the first half of May the air was aga:in laden with orange-blossoill perfume from the second blooming of the citrus, trees. With a few of last season's fruit still hanging on the trees, the egg-sized green fruits from the first blooming and the tiny fruits from the second blooming make the citrus groves now an interesting sight. The following poem we quote from The American Eagle of May 25, 1939:
FLORIDA MAY: The Gulf is as blue as the heron's wing The ocean as blue as my turquois ring And clouds are as dainty as Queen Anne's Lace Which lends ,to my garden a touch of grace. The sky is" the shade of plumosa bloom, My garden is gay as a bride and groom. The spirit of May refreshens my soul Like showers of Spring on a grassy knoll. Lynn Russell
