But good for the disposition. The Germans have one asset denied to the Allies—pity, mercy and honor have been written off their list and it is an asset, indeed, im wartime. President Wilson, during the first world war, asked the American people not to hate the German people, crly their government. Balfour re- plied that the hatred must apply to the German people, too; otherwise it would weaken the whole war structure. Then thé_hatred against the Huns became gen- eral and vehement and soon the war ended.

These conventions were scheduled for Key West without benefit of any organized bureau in Key Wes$ concerned with the mutter of bringing conventions here. Ar- thur Sawyer Post 28 of the American Legien carried on an unassisted campaign to schedule the state convention of the vet- eran organization here. Neither of the other twe groups had the assistance of a convention bureau, function for other cities. Tens of thousands of dollars will be spert in Key West next year by the dele- gates and members of the American Legien, the Catholic Daughters of Amer- ica and the Red Men and Pocahontas or- ganizations. The total of these expendi- tures will provide employment for a large rumber of our citizens and give sub- stantial income to our property owners and ymimercial a time when the tourist season is over. All the conventions so far scheduled will be here during the last days of April and the month of May year. Among cther activities, the Key West Chamber of Commerce should be financed by the people of Key West on a scale per- | mitting it to establish a convention bureau. The convention bureau might very well be made a part of the propcsed publicity divi- sion the Chamber plans. Publicity is a necessary part of any campaign to sway | conventions in favor of a city seeking gatherings for the following year.

The Citizen hopes the Legionnaires may suggestion that this corpcration be kept alive after the Legion convention to handle arrangements for other organ- izations. ANOTHER OBJECTIVE GAINED! Observant readers of The Citizen are conversant with the items that have ap- peared in the “Improvements For Key West Advocated By The Citizen’ box on this page over a period of the past twenty- They will remember possibly that No. 2 of that list for the past twenty years has beer—‘Comprehengive City Plan (Zoning)” With the final passage of the Zoning this week by the City Council that item, after today, will no longer ap- pear on this page in that the objective so long advocated by The Citizen has been gained, One by one those improvements sought for our city become an accomplished fact. The last such, before the Zoning Law, was the item which read “Road To The Main- land”. Many recall how long that objec- tive was sought and many more recall the glorious achievement that brought {uifill- ment of the improvement. Just as years ago some of the im- | provements listed in The Citizen seemed well nigh impossible of accomplishment, just that possible are the other items which appear in the column now left. As_ re- eentiy as two s ago, item No. 1— “Water and Sewerage” seemed far re- moved from anything like completion. To- day, The Citizen can safely predict that that item will be the next one to follow all the others that have been crossed off. Of such, then, is the way of a _ pro- gressive city. Steady plugging over long periods of time is often required to bring realization of many dreams. Key West is among the ranks of those cities that are pushing ahead. All the more remarkable is the record when much of the past is re- called and thoughts rest on the terrific handicaps that have been overcome in many eases to bring improvements. When a person or an organization ob- tains publicity in The Citizen on the promise of future paid advertising and then reneges the promise, what would an | honest person call such a procedure? “THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘LILLY TO PREACH litt Tech | 2 Fallacy < LEY MEMORIAL METHODIST: CHURCH O.

Sunday School Lesson | THE NEW COVENANT International Sunday School Les- son for May 26, 1940 Golden Text: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts: and will be their God, and they shall be mv people”.— Jere. 31:33. Lesson Text: Jeremiah 31 _ Jeremiah, the prophet, realized that the old covenant which God had made with Abraham con- cerning the children of Israel had been broken because they had not lived up to their part of the agreement As punishment for their sins and falling away from Jehovah, Jeremiah prophesized that Judah would be taken cap- tive by Nebuchadnezzar, that the beloved Temple would be de- stroyed and the people taken as exiles to Babylon. For this very unpopular teaching, Jeremiah became a veritable martyr, suf- fering al) kifids of persecutions— for Judah believed that she would escape the impending doom, that Jerusalem was inviolable be- cause the Temple was in its midst and that the nation could not perish. Before he died, Jeremiah saw the fulfillment of his prophecies. As he saw the long night of exile settling down on his people, his prophetic insight went a little farther and, out of the ruins of Jerusalem, he bsheld a new city and a new covenant taking the place of the old. Where the old covenant stress- ed the guidance and protection of God to Israel as a nation the new jcovenant emphasized the import- jance of the individual's relation-, ‘ship to God. Careful study re- | Veals that the progress of doctrine in the Bible is always toward the fuller recognition of individual ‘personality. From the tribe to) the individual, from a group con- ! |sciousness to a personal experi- ence, from a vague recognition at, many gods to a discovery of one! Infinite God, from a_ Messianic; nation or a group within the na-! tion to the expectation of a com- ing Savior, the trend is toward; the recognition of the individual. | While we cannot afford to neg- lect the social aspects of our faith it is well for us always to consider the fact that the re- ligion of our Bible is the re- ligion of a personal righteousness and a personal immortality. Jeremiah approved and en- dorsed the reformations inaug- urated by King Josiah which did | much to correct the worst prac- tices of the heathen cults, cen- tralized worship in the Temple at Jerusalem and put in force the admirable law code of Deuteron- omy. However, this was an ex- ternal séformation which did not touch the hearts of the people inor cleanse their inner lives.; Jeremiah saw the need of a re-; ligion of the heart and began to; ;Preach, “Wash thine heart from | wickedness, that thou mayest be | saved”. (Jer. 4°14). He declar- | ed that a good life is rooted in a icleansed heart upon which God’s ‘word is written. and that every man is responsible for his own life. The people became incensed at the doctrine which Jeremiah preached. It was much easier for | them to go to the Temple. make an offering and go through cere- ‘monies than it was for them to! 7 TIPPPF CL LALLA LL tsb ON ‘MEETING GOD’ __ “Meeting Ged” will be the subject of Rev. Jim Lilly's ser- mon at the 8:00 o'clock service tomorrow morning at Fleming Street Methodist church The subject will deal with our report to the annual Confer- ence and our report to God. Are we bringing company to meet Him—or do we stand alone?” At the morning service at 11:00 o'clock, Rev. Litiy’s sermon will be oh “Highways and Hedges” The pastor will discuss class im- portance as taught by the Mas- ter. HUTCHINSON TO ANSWER QUESTION Rev. G. W. Hutchinson, of First M. E. (Stone) Church, will answer the important and timely question, “Why Doesn't God Stop The War?”", at the 8:00 o'clock service tomorrow eve- ning. All members are urged to at- tend this service and to bring friends with them. Visitors are always cordially invited to the Stone Church.

They did not understand, evi- dently, that offerings meant nothing to God if hands and lives were stained with sin. Do we need Jeremiah’s message today? Do we think that all that God requires is that we attend Sun- day School and the worship serv- ice, bring an offering and money and, perhaps, study our lesson once in a while? Are you one who could be called a “Sunday Christian”? There are many who are regular attendants at church on Sunday who forget all about God and Jesus Christ the other days of the week.
