Most men can make gpod arguments about any subject if nobody takes the oiher side. | Greatness is measured not by what men do for themselves, but what they do | and create for others. Some complain of what they have to | put up with, but just think what the tax- | payers have to put up for. Timidity is not a great virtue, but it | often keeps a fellow from doing things} that might get him in bad. t The man who does not support any church may not know it, but he is not do- | ing his duty as a good citizen.

A beggar was shown pleading to a minister for some- thing to eat and instead of money was handed a religious pamphlet with the solemn exclamation: “This is the fifth kind, Godly act I have done today!” It is 85 years since Admiral Perry opened the doors of Japan to the world. At that time Japan punished with death y Japanese leaving his native land for the outside world. In the totalitarian countries, including Japan, today no eiti- ven may leave the country without! the consent of the authorities, though’the ex- treme penalty is not exacted if a venture is not successful. The two most mighty and noble feel- ings which may sway the human heart are the .pity for individual suffering and the} Passionate indignation for human wrongs.

COUNTY ZONING IMPORTANT Under an ‘agreement between the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District and the National Park Service the highway between Lower Matecumbe and Big Pine Key is to be protected against bad com- mercial development. Only in certain areas along the highway may any com- mercial buildings of any kind be erected. At cther poinis only public use facilities are to be permitted. The whole purpose is to give the tcurist a chance to observe the passing scene, without unpleasant in- trusion of commercial structures. When the work being done by the National Park Service along that portion of the highway is completed a year or two from now, the roadway between Matecumbe and Big Pine Key is expected beauty. Scenic values will be retained. Tourist facilities | will be available at points where they do not clash with the scenery. There will be | restaurants, filling stations, hot dog stands | | water iand Sewerane | and advertising sighs at only certain points. | | They won’t be strung out along the entire | highway. As The Citizen has pointed out be- fore, Monroe county commission explore the possibility of setting up zoning regulations for that portion of the high- | way controlled by the county. Now is the time to halt erection of unsightly and ob- jectionable buildings along the entire road- way. This canbe done by zoning, as pointed out by Mrs. W. L. Lawton, chair- man of the National Roadside Council, in | a dispatch in The Citizen Thursday relat- | ing her statements before the joint session | of the Recreation and Planning Confer- ences at Hollywood. She states that California has demon- strated that counties and the state can protect the appearance of their roadside through zoning. On main roads business activities are confined to the true business centers; the type of architecture is con- trolled in unincorporated areas, and the number and size of signs are limited. What California has done, Florida can do; what other counties elsewhere have done, Monroe county can do. | county commission would be serving the Lower | should | The | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN if (stat.

OUTLOOK FOR 1940 Each year a government survey is made in an effort to forecast the probable eyafpa forecast for 1940 was made public last | <r win be at the m week, and some of the conclusions reached are as follows: 1. Everything considered, it seems likely that 1940 will be a moderately bet- ter year for business than 1939. 2. favorable to American business, but this will be felt very gradually. 3. Aside from the war, the im- | mediate domestic business outlook is fa- voreble, and the present upswing will con- tinue for several months. 4. A decline from the peak of this upswing may occur some time during next year, but should not be serious. These predictions are made’in a period of great uncertainty, and merely represent th ¥ eomposite opinion of various govern- eht officials, in the light of the best in- ion available. Many things might happen to change the present outlook, es- | pecially in view of the chaotic situation in Europe. Stock market actions during the past month have been rather unsteady. A re- cent break was mostly recovered. Dips or generally sinking market indices almost always reflect business recessions to fol- low. The worst thing that could ‘happen, | of course, would be our involvement in the war, but all classes of our people seem so determined to stay out of it that we may be able to avoid such a disaster. length of Overseas | Highway more attractive and you make | The net effect of the war will be | thy kingdom, and talk of | power”.—Psalms 145;10, 11.

While Jesus did not invent |the parable form of teaching, ‘there being several instances re- corded in the Old Testament, he ‘developed its use to its highest ' jed his employment of it. Some- one has said that a parable was meaning. | While sitting in a boat near |the shore, Jesus told the Parable of the Sower to a large crowd which rested on the nearby land. ‘Whether or not it was inspired by Partly cloudy and the sight of a farmer actually 1B0- | ling out to sow is of little -eonse- iquence, although the fact re- | mains that the physical condition of that country meets the va- lrious conditions or soil upon which ‘the parable rests. Of the three classes of hearers |deseribed by Jesus:in the Parable, Lyman Abbott has the following to say: “The ‘unfruitful hearers ‘de- \seribed are of three classes”, he ‘says; “the first hear ‘but ‘heed |nothing; ‘the second heed ‘but re- solve nothing; the third resolve ‘but profit nothing. The first re- ceive a hindrance in the outset; the second: after the seed -getmin- |ated; the third after it «is ‘well }grown. In’the first-case the seed does not spring ‘at all; in ‘the second it springs, but dies before hitegrows-up; in the third it-grows up, but does not ripén”. | ‘Then, ‘to ‘return ‘to the parable, \some seed falls upon good ground, is.well eared for, jand produces -fruit, sometimes thirty t- fold ‘or -a hundred ‘fold. “As the | ireader is evidently intelligent jenough: to feel that he is'not de- ‘seribed ‘by either of the three \types, he should ask himself ‘whether or not’ the seed which'he ireceives is bringing forth its re- turn. | ‘Should anyone be contented with a return of thirty ‘fold if he \has possibility for a hundred? just as surely as such a fbeth Sharpley, manager of the Alfred Geiger and Miss Helen! eiger, who arrived yesterday} afternoon ‘on the Cuba from Ha-! |state and no one has ever equal- tronia street, left on the Cuba for Tampa yesterday.

The activity of Christian forces jshould affect both sinner and jsaint, every effort must be made jto reach all and include all, not- | withstanding many will be found juseless and of no account. The \Parables of the Net explains the ‘process, All fish within the ‘range of the seme are caught, ‘some serviceable, others not, but in the analogy we see the process of differentiation being carried out, at the end of the sweep, lei- surely, and discriminatingly. In both of these parables the final judgment is not passed by men —neither the farmer nor the fish- erman, but by angels, spiritual ' beings. Jesus was engaged in a world program for all time, yet the be- ginning of his movement was ex- tremely modest, even insignific- ant compared to its final goal. The Parable of the Mustard Seed jwas to prevent disparagement of Sa small beginning. The external growth of the church, is exempli- fied by the mustard tree, spring- jing and growing from a _ very |small seed. From a few men, with ino organization, the Christian faith has grown to include 500,- 900,000 people, one-third of the | world’s population—a far-off goal lto the twelve moderately trained apostles upan whose efforts the future so largely depended. No eye can follow the growth lof the mustard tree, and the in- visible growth of the Christian faith is typified in the Parable of the Leaven, which works out of sight, but which gradually per- }meates the whole bread. With igerms of life from another world jthe leaven, by contact and inter- |mingling, alters and transforms the i mass surrounding. So with’ Christian living, its steady, ‘quiét, ‘irresistible influence con- \quers. There is ‘no necessity for ‘proclaiming its nature, for it will plish its mission slow- ly, inevittbly, ‘and-without ques- tion. This is reassuring to the jfaithful adherent of the king- |dom. | “In the parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price, Jesus emphasized the paramount value of membership in the kingdom.
