Obviously, it is difficult if not impos- sible io patrol the bridges to a point where the buckets cannot be stolen, but equally | obvicus should be the danger of leaving un- protected the sole means of travel between Key West and the mainland. The long string of wooden links in the highway rep- the de- struction of any one of them, particularly during the tourist season, would mean a vital loss to Key West. State and county patrols should make every effort to see that the buckets are kept in place and filled with water, but beyond | that it is up to the commission to have on hand a sufficient supply to replace the in- evitable losses. To close the highway, even for a day, would represent a terrific blow to Key West both in loss of visitors bound here and in the discomfort to travelers re- turring to the mainland. THE LAST FIVE MONTHS OF WAR When France tottered on the brink of ond the war seemed about to end, Eenito Mussolini plunged the dagger into the back of his neighbor. Il Duce un- ubtedly expected Italy to gather her with a minimum of sacrifice. The course of the war has_ probably surprised the Fascist leader but it has pre- sented Adolf Hitler with a great surprise also. When news came that France had requested an armistice Der Fuehrer cut loose with a jig, to the delight of his en- tourage. There is every reason to believe that both dictators thought the war had been brought to a successful conclusion and that the “new order” would begin almost imme- diately in Europe. The events since that day in June have brought no confirmation of their joyous thoughts of complete victory. The stubborn and pernicious British refused to quit their war and the battle goes on. In the diplomatic manoeuvres, since June, Hitler and Mussolini have scored only mediocre successes. Despite their pressure Spain remains aloof and looks to the British A good many big city officials machine-made and hand-picked. are | to permit food shipments to reach Spanish ports. Bulgaria and Russia have balanced on the fence and Greece has taken up her own protection. Turkey gives no sign of bowing to German demands. The warfare, since June, has not pro- duced a decisive totalitarian victory. The British drop bomb for bomb and refuse to weaken their naval forces in the fighting areas to protect convoys on the oceans. In the Mediterranean the Italian navy fails to Re-armament for self-defense thing and militarism is another. is The world needs, perhaps above rediscovery of the meaning of religion. all, A nation. like an individual, should put its trust in its friends, not its enemies. It’s about time somebody wrote a pop- ular ballad, entitled: ‘Those Santa Claus Blues.” If you had nothing to, be thankful about in 1940, maybe you will have much to be thankful for in 1941... FERRIC RTC I Honesty in little things is far from be- ing a little thing since it is the impetus that strengthens us in being honest in the bigger | things. Some time in the dim and distant future the werld will dwell in peace, but it will be | pulated by better people than now roam the earth.

Strange phenomena have been observed as a vesult of these tests. For instance, a drink of liquor increases grip strength for a few minutes, then drops it 10 to 30 per eent below normal, showing that the stim- ulation derived from, say a highball, is only momentary and needs repeated addi- tions to keep up the artificial exhilara- tiens, which is detrimental health. These tests show also that the mind to function properly must have a healthy body. “Mens sana in corpore sano”, which even the early Romans recognized. to This averaged almost 20 miles | sermons a day. | the same average for a longer period, cover- | ing 4.000 miles in seven months. 700 meetings each year. protect the line of supply to Libya and the fighting in Greece, to this time, is nothing but an Italian disaster. A PREACHER’S TRAVELS Some remarkable facts concerning the travels of the Rev, Lorenzo Dow, who was born in Connecticut in 1777, are given by the Christian Science Moritor, which calls him the most traveled preacher of his time. When it is considered that he lived be- | fore the days of railroads or steamboats, the | records of his travels are amazing. When 25 years of age, he covered, in days, 1,500 miles, conducting 184 serv- and three hours each. and three A year later he maintained 72 ices of between two It is said that he finished.his tour without shoes, stockings, or outer garments. For many years he traveled from 7,000 to 10,000 miles a year, holding from 600 to He visited Eng- land and Ireland, and on one of these trips traveled 50 miles and held nine meetings n 52:consecutive hours. On another oc- mn he traveled 1,700 miles and held 200 an average of about 30 ea meetings in 67 days miles and three sermons a day. We don’t know who is the author of this because it was signed “A Woman,” but the sound sense it expresses is worthy of repetition. “I am only 26 but I firmly be- lieve that all the fun in the world while you are young couldn't make up for a penniless, worried, work-ridden old age. I haven't al- ways felt that way, but I have seen enough and been through enough to know that you must use your youth to gain security in your old age.” —Titusville Star-Advocate. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN * By REV. TED M. JONES. Pastor of Nazi Germany claims that the,evil and wrong. world, as a whole, opposes the every principle of Germany and that by proving her strength she can rise to a supreme place inthe world. This is possibly true in every realm, save that of Re- ligion. There must be power be- hind the throne of a permanent, successful nation and the only power comparable of standing is the divine power of God. The spiritual power that is in- culcated in the Christian religion, is the strongest developing force of the universe. We hold our own, or slip backwards a bit, un- til time of peril, or a crisis, is reached, then we ask divine as- sistance. And true to the prom- ise of Christ, “If two of us shall agree on earth as touching any- thing it shall be granted us” (Matt. 18:19). The aiding power of God becomes prevalent. What would be the outcome, if, in the time of peace, God’s people should turn to him? Here, the failing roint of religion is found in fight- ing defensively the opposition of The American civilization lacks offensiveness in times Beace, allowing our peo- ple corfplicated morality, so when it is necessary to oppose the serpent, it, has grown very large and is hafd to overpower. David failed ‘to build a temple for the Lord because of constant warfare. We are finding it hard- er to wofship God without error because, as the Church and edu- cation grow, the opposing forces become proportionably as. large. It is time that our educational forces and religious groups leap ahead of the undercurrent of the world. James, the disciple, asks, “Can a fountain send forth at the same time sweet water and bit- ter” (James 3:11). We must, if we save our civili- zation, take a concise stand. Knowing the crooked shall never be made straight, we must stop giving in to evil forces and de- mand the respect of right, and take with, David, “I have set the Lord always before me because He is my right hand, I shall not be moved” (Psalm 16:8). Sunday School Lesson CHRIST AND PERSONALITY International Sunday School Les- son for January 12, 1941 Golden Text: “Is not the life more than the food, and the bedy than the rainment?” —Matt. 6:25. Lesson Text: Luke 14:1-14 This materialistic age in which we live seems to have lost sight of the intrinsic value of man. In his quest for the material bene- fits to be derived, the tendency has been, to under-estimate the contribution made by the men and women who have toiled to produce the resulting wealth. The Bible tells us that, after the Lord of Heaven created the world, he found that it was good. However, not satisfied that it should exist unenjoyed, he “form-' |ed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”. (Gen. 2:7.) It is well to realize the fact thet man came into being because God de- sired it. Man is a component part of the creation of God. While in many ways man is similar to the animal life which God also created—be- ing dependent on nature for air, food and water—he is superior to animals in that he was made “in the image of God” and has pow- ers, in a limited way, that are similar, to the infinite powers of God. The greatest distinction of man is that he has personality and it is in the fullness of personality that man is most like God. The world into which Jesus came had various estimates of the value of human life. While the Psalmist sang of man as just a lit- tle lower than the angels and crowned with glory and honor, the Publican, in his prayer to God, declared, “I thank God I am not a Gentile, a woman, or a dog”, evidently rating each as of sim- ilar worth. The Greeks of his day often left their sickly children and | their aged people in the mountains to die. and often, girl babies, born in Egvpt. were destroyed at birth. In all of his teachings, Jesus put a higher evaluation on human life. All of his ministry presupposed the eternal value of a human soul. Jesus’ teachings was not one of restrictions, as some seem to think, but he declared, “I am come that they might have life,' and that they micht have it more abundantly”. The incident related in the first six’ verses of our lesson for this week ilustrates that Jesus thought ersonality more valuable than tules and regulations. While eat- ing at the home of a Pharisee on the Sabbath dav. a sick man came before him. Turning tw the law- yers and Pharisees gathered -in the hcuse. Jesus asked. “Ts it law- ful to heal on the Sabbath day?” probably mindful of the hue and cry which arose when he healed the woman in the synagogue shortly before. When they would not answer him Jesus healed the man and let him go. Realizing that they were probably question- ing the propriety of his action, however, Jesus answered their mental questionings by saying: ‘Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will net straightway pull him out on t Sabbath day?” They could answer because they knew that they would do just what Je- sus had sail We have heard of farmers who provide well-propor- vestock who are not as solicitous eit own families. not to men- n the tenants on their farm. ; »Have you ever passed a farm on the highway on which there were huge, well-painted, over-flowing barns and silos and the farm- house was merely a crude, un- painted, unattractive shack? Again, in verses 7 to 11, Jesus declares that personality is more valuable than ambition. Jesus does not condemn ambition as such, but he does condemn the urge for self-advancement at the expense of others. There is nothing wrong in the possession of wealth provided the rights and welfare of others have not been overlooked or forgotten. After all, Jesus delares: “What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36.) The only thing eternal in this world is the human soul. Every man, woman and child ‘should be encouraged to develop a person- ality which will merit the respect cf his fellowmen and the approv- al of God. Christians myst come to the place where they can treat, every, man as an individual, re- gardless of race or color, or sta- tion in life, realizing that Christ died for all men.
