There is no gloating on the part of | Monroe county residents because of this | God-given condition. It just happens to be a fact that cannot be denied, refuted or belittled. ome parts of the mainland who Ss. | frostfree claims. The people of Monroe county would be depriving themselves of a just reward | for their faith in this area if they did not | publicize the lack of frost along the keys and attempt to make something out of it. Likewise, they would be depriving the | state and nation of the benefits accruing | | by reason of the fact that fruits and vege- | | tables, including tropical plants of kinds, will grow in these keys there is no frost at any time. It is timely, therefore, for the citizens of this community to consider how they K. N. Dahle, a winter resident of Key West, is one those striving to help in this connection. | He has suggested to the U. S.

It is suggested that our civic and |the guest soloist at the morning|Sunday of month. | city officials make an effort to enlist state | and federal support for such a project. It would save the Botanical Gardens from ruin and save the city money. BORAH’S REMARKABLE CAREER The death of Senator William E. Borah removes from the national political scene an actor of great ability and a man of undoubted integrity. That Senator Borah was a_ powerful figure, no man can deny. By sheer fight- ing ability he pulled into a position where he was feared by the conservative group of his pe y and this enabled him to exercise great influence in curbing the efforts of those who controlled the party to which he belonged. It is too early for anybody to appraise the effect of his life. upon national or world affairs. If the nations of the earth ever get together to solve common prob- lems, as they must if peace is to be real, he will be remembered as one of the few men in this country who beat down the first great effort to accomplish this result. Those who differed with his views up- on public issues nevertheless find mueh in He was an independent in the best sense, wearing the collar of no voice to his honest opinions. This is a virtue of such transcendent brightness that one finds it easy to overlook differences of opinion. His sincerity, his intellectual honesty and his unimpeachable integrity are the gleam- ing stars that illuminated his crown and | brightened his life. THINK THIS ONE OVER In the Butler, Pennsylvania, Eagle ap- peared the following statement by T. W. Phillips; Jr. It carries more wallop than one usually finds in a volume on economic questions. : “If my chief purpose in life were to break down our political, industrial» and social order, I would naturally take the surest and most effective means, and the | means that might be least suspected—that is, through involving the government in ex- travagance for well-meaning and _high- sounding objectives, which, of course, would result in’high taxes, and in order to | make these taxes most effective in bring- ing about a chaotic condition, I would con- heentrate the taxes on the employers—on the business men.” Not even those puny business- | weather reports and conceal Monroe’s | all | because | of | on | of Agri-'| am fully | THE KEY WES a.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1940 ' International Sunday School Les- son for February 11, 1940 Golden Text: “I am the | way, and the truth, and the | life; no one cometh unto the Father, but by me”.—John } 14:6, | | Lesson, Text: Matt. 21-18-43 | Our lesson for this week goes i back to a consideration of a pas- sage from the Gospel of Matthew |and follows immediately after the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem, whieh og¢curred on Sunday of what is called Passion Week. Immediately after the en- thusiastic welcome given him and the spontaneous aceeptance him as the long-expected King”, Jesus retired to the home of Mary, Martha ard Lazarus, at nearby Bethany, where he spent the night. i Journeying back to Jerusalem with his disciples early the next morning, Jesus saw a- fig tree near the highway and, being hun- gry, went to it expecting fruit to eat, Minding no fruit, and thus humanly disappointed, the- tree having proved that it had failed in the purpose for which it was planted, Jesus declared that no ‘fruit should grow upon it from jhenceforth forever. Of this curse, John Walter Good declared: “The significance of this curse at that time is plain . . -The fig tree was cursed be- (cause it was false, not because it was barren. The full-grown leaves promised fruit on the tree, and it had none. The tree was false. This fact suggested at once the falseness of Israel in that day. Outwardly their forms and religious performances made a | great show of spiritual fruits; but ‘inwardly they were without the Spirit of God and without fruits | of righteousness”. ) | Following the cursing of the \fig tree, Jesus journeyed on into ‘Jerusalem and, on entering the |Temple, became righteously in- dignant at the practices being ‘carried on in the name of re- ligion. Taking a scourge in his |hand, he drove the money-chang- ioe from the Temple, declaring: | “It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye {make it a den of robbers”. | Returning to Jerusalem the fol- Hlowing morning, Tuesday, Jesus Promoters of the Sacred Heart Broad views of life, general cul-!went into the Temple and there eet third Sunday of month, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Eaton between Duval and | Simonton Streets | Sunday school, 10 a.m. T. 1.) m Morning worship, 11 o'clock. | Dr. B.

He {course by the chief priests and lelders, who demanded to know iby what authority he presumed |to do the things he did and teach |the things he taught. Instead of answering their question, Jesus |presented a counter-question by \asking, “The baptism of John (the |Baptist) was it from heaven, or lof men?” They dared not dis- count John, because of the peo- |ple's belief in his integrity and jthex feared the wrath of the peo- ple; and yet they dared not ap- ‘prove John, for he had testified | ‘as to the divinity of Christ. Cow- ardly, they withdrew from the dangerous situation by declaring \themselves unable to answer. | Then by parabolic teaching, Jesus turned in wrath upon these religious leaders of the people. In the first parable, that of the twa Jesus by inference, declared that the scribes and Pharisees, be- cause of their stubborn unbelief, had received the Messiah sent to them by God and because of this rejection, they were farther from the Kingdom of God than the vilest persons in their knowledge, the publicans and the harlots, who had heard the teachings of John | and of Christ and had through \faith, accepted him. Then Jesus told the story of the ‘householder, who planted a vine- lyard, turned it over to husband- men and departed. When the jhouseholder sent servants to the hushandmen for an accounting, the wicked men beat one, killed another and stoned a third. Fin- ally, the lord of the vineyard sent his own son, thinking that they would reyerence him. But, the owner was mistaken, for the hus- \bandmen rejected him, took him jout of the vineyard and killed him also. This was and is exactly what the Jewish people, to whom the Lord Jesus was at this very hour talking, did with God's only son. of |The scribes and Pharisees thought that by getting rid of Jesus, they would put an end to his popular- ity, which was estranging many of the people from their teaching. That they were wrong was shown jin the events which followed im- (mediately after his crucifixion and have lasted to this very day. The gospel of Jesus Christ spread throughout the world, many thou- jsands of Jews were won away from the synagogue and most ter- rible of all, within forty years, Jerusalem was laid in ruins, the Temple was desecrated and the Jews, as a people, from that time until this, have been scattered over the face of the earth—a na- tion without a home.
