HANDS OFF SEAPLANE BASE! Key West has had some very bitter | and painful experiences in her past. his- tory. Not a few of them were caused by upon employers, particularly during the period when the cigar industry fiourished here. The Citi- zen has seen industries leave Key West be- cause of the unreasonableness of some of those who then found employment in our | manufacturing: plants. ‘Now Key West is facing a new era what appears to be one that will bring prosperity to our city once again. Part of new outlook, the new optimism of our the resumption of One of the factors in this seaplane base on the old Trumbo Tsland section of the city. Erection of the sea- plane plant is providing work for our idle men and a new source of income for all our citizens.

ALL FOOLS’ DAY How the custom of playing practical jokes on April 1, known also as All Fools’ Day, originated is unknown, but one authority has traced its beginning as far back as about 1564 in France. At this y was carried back from March 25 to January 1. Prior to that, the spring festival be- gan on March 25 and ended on April 1, this last day being one on which it was the practice to play harmless jokes on one’s friends and neighbors, such as send- errands, the person fooled being called an April fish. The day appears to: have been anciently observed in England as a gen- eral festival, but the fooling feature was not introduced until about 1700. land the victim of fooling was called an | April gowk, meaning cuckoo. A_ similar custom is said to have been widespread in India from time immemorial. In some countries hoaxes have been perpetrated on the public by newspapers | on April 1. A few years ago a Havana morning paper on that day printed a tragic account of the wreck of a large foreign ship named the Loof Lirpa in thé harbor. Vast throngs went to the docks to see the ill-fated vessel, but the ‘“wreck’’ was not visible. Loof Lirpa was merely “April Fool” spelled backward. PLANE PRODUCTION What are termed “reliable reports” in Washington, and published in the New York Times, indicates that Germany has a monthly capacity of 3,000 planes and is expected to reach 6,000 by September first. British production of 1,200 planes a month has dropped to 800 temporarily be- -ause of the introduction of new models. ‘sench output is 275 a month and Italian 50. The United States can produce 17,000 fuselages a year but only 13,000 engines. There | In Scot- | FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH |" William L.

Lesson Text: Matthew 28:16-20 Itcis peculiarly fitting that the :ix° months’ series of lessons bas- ed on the Gospel of Matthew should end with the lesson we have this week. It is the climac- tie lesson of the entire series—a challenge to those who have studied the life of Jesus to do something about it—to answer the great commission by putting the teaching and example of Je- sus to work in our live: The eleven disciples (Judas now being dead) and _ probably about five hundred others (as re- ferred to by Paul in I Corinthians 15:6) gathered on a certain moun- tain in Galilee, probably three or four weeks after the resurrection at the place and probably at the time specified by Jesus when he told the two Marys who were at the tomb to tell his disciples to meet him in Galilee. There on the mountaif-top, Jesus gave to the waiting ap tles and the. other believers gath- ered there their orders as to their course of action in the future. In the beginning he affirmed his sov- ereignty. “All power is give unto me in heaven and in earth”. During his ministry, he had shown his authority over disease. demons, and even death itself.

Then, in the words of Dr. H. C. Moore: “The Master sketched four features for his world-wide and age-long program. The first was enlightenment. ‘Go, ye therefore’ and let your light shine in every part of the world.

Church- es, as units, are more active than ever in missionary enterprise, which is fine and creditable, but, of the individual membership, ‘how few are proclaiming Christ to those with whom daily contact is made? How few fully realize they are “ambassadors on behalf of Christ” to every unsaved man and woman. Church member: professing to believe that eter jlife rests upon acceptance of Ji sus, often neglect or are too timid to approach even their own loved ones! If every Christian had a burning reality of this truth, would any be content to pass un- believing souls daily with no ef- fort to tell them of the life-insur- ing message? Christianity needs the individ- ual evangelism of every follower. Unbelievers and formai ants must be reached and s one by one—the world will not be won in bulk! Nineteen times we have a record of the himself entering into personal discussions with only one human being for an. audience. It s been pointed out by one writer that every soul could be saved in two years if every professing Christian reached and coriverted one unbeliever each year. The need for individual evangelistic work is greater than it ever has ,been and the responsibility. for unsaved millions rests’ on» inac- tive Christians. Hav- 'DR. BRITTAIN HERE MONDAY FOR MEET C.
