A narrow-minded religion begets in- | tolerance; a liberal religion begets love. Going to church may hurt some peo- ple but we are willing to bet (not to a sin- ful degree) that it won’t hurt you. The chief purpose of human life is human happiness, but most of us think it is the aceumulation of wealth, which often brings unhappiness in its wake. A lot of us Key Westers could emulate that guy, Carleton, winter resident and property owner, who is devoting efforts, time and money to make Key West a bet- | ter place in which to live. The scheme to abolish the ad valorem tax by a constitutional amendment did not get to first base. The tax revision was sponsored by the duPont people and was defeated although the Speaker of the House Wood is a duPont executive; Taxa- tion and Finance Chairman Lewis, an em- ploye; and Christie, of the Rules Commit- tee, a friend. Boake Carter, the eminent columnist, in a-letter to the publisher of The Citizen desires-to know what the prospects are of getting “a decent City Charter so that the city government may feel a measure of confidence and security in the policies of renovation it may propose?” It is a pleas- ant task to inform Mr. Carter that there is a new city charter since the one pro- posed by Representative Papy has passed both House and Senate in the Legislature now in session:in Tallahassee. Representative Cannon is in receipt of a reply from the acting commissioner in the Department of Commerce, Bureau of | Fisheries, copy of which was forwarded to The Citizen, stating that the report on the sponge blight is now being prepared and will be used for outlining a project of re- habilitation and conservation of' spenge beds in Key West which will give employ- ment to the sponge fishermen who have temporarily lost their means of _ liveli- hood. Insurance statistics show that most | widows who came into possession of money or property upon the death of their hus- bands were without funds at the end of two years. The stumbling blocks are friends who urge investments in various schemes that turn out badly and par-| ticularly relatives who borrow money and | never find themselves able to repay the | sums borrowed, or who inveigle the widow | to advance money in risky ventures with promises of rich rewards that never materialize. Whatever the cause insurance research reveals that the money is gen- erally frittered away before the lapse of | two years. If the above is a criterion, it appears to be good judgment for those in | position to leave wills to have the allow- | ancé parcelled in the form of annuities, | ZONING AND BUILDING After months of efforts by the Key | | West Zoning Board, realtors, public- | spirited citizens and Representative Ber- | nie C. Papy, the Key West Zoning Ordi- nance is now a law. It was validated by the State Legislature and yesterday it was signed by Governor Fred Cone. This is one of the long steps forward that Key West has taken within the last year to help rehabilitate herself. The new law sets up precise zones in which certain types of structures may be erected. It protects the small property owner from onerous burdens in the construction of a modest home, and it gives those able to af- | ford more expensive dwellings protection against depreciation and annoyance by reason of nearby objectionable structures. | The Citizen knows of several prop- | erty owners who some time ago announced their intention of going ahead with con- struction of new residences as soon as the | zoning ordinance was validated by the Legislature. There is now no reason ‘longer to hold up this work for want of proper building regulations. The gover- nor’s signature on the act should be the signal for starting the Key West con- | struction program—a program that will give employment to architects, skilled workmen in many lines and dozens of laborers. When the work gets well under way it should take up much of the unem- | ployment slack occasioned by WPA lay- offs, seasonal inactivity and destruction of the sponge beds. A substantial volume of construction activity will help every line of business, step up the demand for work- | ers in many directions. It will be a boon to all of Key West. One other large obstacle remains to be hurdled to bring about a real boom in the amount of commercial, house and hotel construction activity. That is a fresh water supply. While the zoning regulations will increase home con- struction, a fresh water supply is essential in starting something like a boom in other kinds of building. Everyone identified with the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commission, our city and county officials, our representatives in Tallahassee and Washington and some of our leading citizens believe Key West is slated to get federal loans and grants to construct ‘a fresh water pipeline from the mainland. Others of our citizens are not so sure of this. It is held in some quarters the Aqueduct act is invalid, that the PWA and RFC engineers and officials never will approve of grants and loans until the act is revamped. Suppose Congress additional money to the PWA, is it assured Key West will get a portion of it for the pipeline? What is the attitude, officially, of PWA engineers toward the Aqueduct act? Does it need legislative repairs to bring it within the federal requirements? Would Key West representation in Wash- | ington help get the money for this all-im- portant project? It seems to The Citizen that these questions should be put to the proper fed eral authorities and the answers presented to the public. Key West is worried about the water situation, a building pragram is being held up. Let’s find out where ‘we | stand on this vital matter, DO YOU READ THE BIBLE? “Do you read the Bible?” This question, asked in a crowd, will produce interesting replies if the truth be told. There are some people in Key West | who think themselves “superior” because they place scant reliance upon the book that is still the world’s best seller. fancy an independent aloofness, but, in reality, there is another explanation for their failure to give the Word of God a trial on its merits. Any number of our best citizens can, | and will, testify to the great influence this book has exerted upon their lives. They know that its study has brought them) | values, not equalled by any other pub- | ligation. As a matter of selfish “profit,” | basing their testimony solely upon the “re- turns” they will utter thanksgiving for the Bible reading habit. The first European to set foot in the New World was a Jew, Luis de Torres, the interpreter who sailed with Columbus; | the first sailor that sighted land on that memorable voyage was a Jew, Rodrigo de Triana and the financial aid given by the Jew, Luis de Santangel, enabled Columbus terminating with the annuitant’s death, to make the voyage of discovery. apartment | does appropriate | They | | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FiRST CO) REGATIONAL oNGREGAT William L.

Lesson Text: Romans 1:1-17; 3:21-30; 5:1-11; 10:11-15 That Paul had a definite sense of his mission in the world is evi- dent to those who have studied his life at all. After his meeting with Christ on the road to Da- mascus, every atom of his ener- gy and every possible minute of his time was spent in carrying out the dynamic purpose of his life—preaching the gospel of Christ. He was absolutely con- vinced that the salvation of the world depended upon the utter- ance and the acceptance of this message. A study of his life’s work will | show that he carried the gospel message first to “the lost sheep of the House of Israel” and many there were among the Jews who accepted the Christ he preached. However. when he met with stern Jews, he turned to the Gentiles and thereafter preached princi- pally to them. In his letter to the Christians in the city of Rome (which is the basis of our study this week). , Paul identifies himself to them declaring that he is the bondserv- ant or slave of his master, Jesus ‘Christ, and that he was called or; set apart, to be an apostle or mis- ; sionary to proclaim the gospel to the world. Then in a most con-, cise way, he sums up what the gospel is: it is good news from God, revealing unto men his mer- ‘cy and goodness through his plan ‘of salvation, whereby he sent Je- sus Christ, his only begotten Son, ; into the world to live, love, suf- fer, die and be raised from the dead, that all who believed on him Should not receive their just punishment for sin, but would have everlasting life through Je- sus Christ their Lord. This plan of salvation was not to be confined to the Jews alone, but was offered to all in the whole “wide world, the only condition , being that they believe in and ac- ‘cept Jesus Christ, the Son of God, | as their Saviour. Thus, the gos- pel of God which Paul preached ‘was a world-wide gospel and the blessings offered by the grace of | God coulg be obtained and enjoy- ed by everyone who would avail | .himself of its privileges. Paul evidently realized the an ficulty which the believers in ~Rome were having in thé midst ‘of the paganism and persceution } of this imperial city. Yet, from the reports he had received, they | were very active, for he declares: ; “Your faith is spoken of through- | out the whole world”.

However, ever conscious of and obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and, until this time, he had nev- er been led to feel that he should go to Rome.

This same gospel, given to the world through the medium of a Jew. was a pow- er, a dyramic, and would affect for good even the mightest city in the world at that time, Rome. Therefore, he declared that he was “not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth”. There is no question but that the world today needs the gospel of Christ, which, after all, is a gospel of love. If love was the | predomina nt motive in the hearts *of the people of the world at this time, many of the problems which ‘apparently are incapable of so- lution would take e of them- “selves.
