SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1989 ‘Sunday School Lesson FRIENDS AND FOES OF THE ; M International Sunday School Les- son for December 31, 1939 Golden Text: “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you”.—John 15:14. (Lesson Text: Matthew 13:54 to 16:12) This is the concluding lesson of things they would need to know before he left them. The last passage tells of Jesus’ ‘trip to Gadara where he was re- ceived gladly by the very people who, not very long before, had besought him to leave their coun- try when their swine were drown- jed in the sea. To him, these }mountain folk brought all their sick and lame and blind to be jeured by this Master Physician.

They will guard that | valuable property and protect the naval | activities against any untoward gesture by alien agents. Later they will guard the naval seaplane base to be erected on Trumbo Island. Within a few days another detach- ment of 13 marines is expected from Pen- sacola, the majority of the others having come here from Parris Island. The entire detachment of a little over 50 men is to be billeted in the old marine barracks now being renovated for their accommodation at the naval station. The first informal guard mount of the ; marines will be held at 8:30 a. m. Tues- | day at the main gate at the foot of Greene raval, national guard and guard officers. It should be a_ colorful little ceremony. It is to be hoped that our public and civic groups are also well rep- resented. For the reopening of the naval station and the arrival of the marines to take charge of the guard detail is an important event in Key West's long, hard march back to normalcy. The inimediate effect of that reopening has been a great increase in Key West morale. There is where there was doubt in regard to the future. The Citizen welcomes the United States Marines headed here by Lieut. Col. G. D. Hatfield, a veteran of the service. It is hoped that the time will again when the marines are called upon to relinquish the keys to the naval station and leave Key West for so long an absence. Welcome, United States Marines! army, EXTREMES IN NATURE An interesting list of the extremes in natural substances was recently compiled by Professor Hopkins of the University of | Illinois, in which the following were named: Radium is the most expensive, being worth about 100,000 times its weight in gold. Platinum is the heaviest of well- known metals, being 21 times as heavy as water, but the rare metals asmium and iridium are slightly heavier. Hydrogen gas is the lightest ordinary | substance, having only about one-four- teenth the weight of air, but a temporary gas produced in certain vacuum tubes is somewhat lighter. Diamonds are the hardest substance known, but carborundum is almost as hard. Electric furnaces produce the great- | est heat known on earth, running up to | nearly 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit, while the extreme in cold is solid helium and other gases which solidify at about 458 degrees below zero. heat and cold are not natural, however, but are produced by artificial means. OIL AND SYMPATHY Since September Ist, it is estimated that Russia has bought more than 1,200,- 000 barrels of gasoline in the United States. | This indicates, to'some observers, that Russian gasoline production is at a low ebb | or of an inferior quality. The gasoline is needed for the Russian war machine or else replaces some of Russia’s gasoline that is going into Germany. Experts familiar with Russian produe- tion do not believe that the Soviet indus- try can take care-of the demand of the Russian war machine. Hence, in their opinion, it necessary to get high-grade gascline from some other nation. If it is true that American gasoline is a necessity to the Russian war machine, the United States might strike a blow for Finland by prohibiting shipments of gaso- It seems that American gasoline goes to Russia and Japan while American sympathies are extended to Finland and China. _ The ceremony will be witnessed by | coast | now optimism | never come | These extremes of | 'Dade Lodge No. 14, Dr. Felix \Varela No. 64, Anchor Lodge No. | |182, Fern Chapter No. 21.

They judged by circum- stances and surroundings, rather than by individual merit and worth. Because of their lack of faith, we are told that Jesus perform- ed no mighty works in his home town, and Nazareth lost its great- est opportunity. The people were not unusually hostile or antagon- istic, but carefully and selfishly jengaged, so much so that, they had no time for spiritual matters —a condition prevalent very oft- en in individuals and communi- ties of this generation, as well. | While the depressive effect of confinement produced a question in the mind of John the Baptist, the sole activity of his life sprang from a fundamental faith, which inspired him and carried him on.

Bothered by a guilty conscience aver the slay- ing of the daring preacher, Herod, when he heard of the ministry of Jesus, believed that John the Baptist had risen from the dead. In order to destroy him, Herod connived with the enemies of Jesus and was instrumental in forcing Jesus to withdraw from the more populous areas and confine his last year of ministry to the mountainous areas sur- rounding Galilee. This area was out of Herod’s jurisdiction and provided, not only a refuge from those who would destroy him, but also gave Jesus the needed opportunity for physical rest and of instructing the twelve disciples in those COMMON ERROR Do not say, “They went through with the formu- TODAY’S DAILY QUIZ Can you answer seven of these ten Test Question?
