To many it seems to be a carica- ture of Christ; to others a cross- concept riddle; to others a big Jig-Saw puzzle with missing parts; to others a comforting con- templation causing a spiritual ex- perience; only a mere man—but a great Reformer; to others He is an occasional distraction of aesthetic value like the viewing of a masterpiece of art or charm- ed by a sweet strain of music; to others God’s portrait given to us to copy and to conform in imita- tion. Is your concept contained in the Bible true to the Christ of the Bible? Christ stands out in bold relief like a masterpiece in mosaic work- manship, clearly calling for imita- tion. The Old Testament is but the framework of the picture with its colorful background pointing to the central figure of the pic- ture, Jesus Christ, Son of God— the Messias—the Savicr of man- kind. The New Testament is the full complete character ef Christ standing before the world—as the God-man—true God and true men —the only Son of God—the only Son of the Virgin Mary—with His Divinity shining through all He said and did. Have you painted your own Christ—dicatting what you'll accept and reject—or is your picture complete and in full conformity to the Christ of the Bible. Father Dougherty will picture from the Bible the Christ of the Bible. Bring your Bible—com- pare the description and see whether your conception is veri- fied by Scripture. A question box in the rear of the church is for any question you desire to have ex- plained. All are cordially invit- ed.

Senior Class Wedinesday, Mar. 15, 4 p. m. WOMAN'S CLUB HOUSE 25e and choir Thursday, junior Admission - + = The writer has noted with some amusement, the efforts according to alt accounts, to sell some baby bonds here. Fifty-five stamps, costing 2 cents each, or $1.10, are required to make these bonds with $1.00, | while play money clipped from the Miami Herald and posted with new 2 cents postage stamps would al- ways have the value of the postage stamps, and it would take only 50 to make them worth $1.00, City and county employes now have the city or county back of their warrants. The plan as print- ed in The Citizen of February 23 says that warrants, and cer- tificates of indebtedness meaning city bonds, turned in for baby bonds will be returned to city or county, cancelled. The city em- he ene in his warrant for 0 will be the proud possessor of a piece of papeite which he will have to stick a $2 stamp that he must buy from Mr. Scott or his, authorized committee, and then he must find a “sucker” to take it in, It must be used 55 times, or, according to the — plan, buy $5,500 worth of goods or services before it is worth $100 . and each person ‘holding it must > stick another $2 stamp on .it Thus, the city’s approximate float- ing debt of about $200,000 must be spent 55 times or $11,000,000 must transpire in trade before these baby bonds covering the city floating debt are any good. It would take a good many. years for $11,000,000 of trade in these coupons to occur here, even if this were the only legal money usable. The “sucker” or merchant is ex- pected to go into bankruptey, if necessary so that the chain be un- broken, The worst part, that I see of this, is that while the plan is for the purpose of. this conceived in the loftiest of ideals; agreement by our city or county, or any great part of its citizens, collectively, to this plan, practical- ly makes the promoter the virtual financial dictator of the city be- cause as the nature of the plan becomes better known, those in- volved may find themselves under serious contract to continue to accept this “monkey money” to their utter ruin; or be faced with law suits or bankruptey proceed- ings. wiper ce Key West is just now ing a “gold brick?’ whieh t Miamian handed it in the nature of promises to build bridges, when in all friendliness we handed him an, exclusive franchise. + We always talk about not send- ing money out of town, but here is another, case where the only person receiving cash from — the transaction, is the. promoter, and our money goes to Miami. , If the city employes were to benefit, the writer would be one of the last to object. - However, wise city employes will continue to hold the city responsible for ger it owes them until it is paid, involved so that the first thing they know, they will not be able jto get their warrants,’ but will |have to take baby bonds, whether | they like it or not. City bonds are also’ acceptible, Imagine—city bonds, purchasable at about 20 cents on the dollar, convert it inte baby bonds, and go to your groceryman and get a dob lar for it. | This makes a good opening for janvons who believes that Key West merchants ate suchy‘suck- jers.”" | Sincerely, E.
