Some | 3,000 to 3,500 persons are expected. They come at a period of the year when the ma- | jority of our hotel rooms are vacant. They come at a time when $125,000, which the | convention committee believes will be spent here, will look mighty sweet. In addition to that the advertising valtte of the coming and the proper han- | dlirg of the convention delegates will be | noticeable. Key West has been getting a | bad name on the mainland. We have been | held forth as being without fresh water, various other | | 1 { | } | without food and without | items which are needed by weary tourists. | “You're going to the last place on earth!” | is the commonest remark made to the | tourist on the mainland. In spite of this | some idle thousands of travelers do come to Key West. And are duly wined, dined and generally made to feel the welcome. Now the Key West Convention cor- | poration has appointed a committee to | solicit funds for the convention. The fund | raising has been slow, very slow. Key West cannot afford to fall down on this cam- paign. There must be no repetition of the | celebration opening the bridges. The stench | of that still fills the air. No Key Wester wants to fall down on | the fund raising job. It is a matter of civic | pride not to fall down. When the solicitor | ealls upon those on his list to contribute the | contribution should be offered willingly, | yea gladly. It is a good cause. ADVERTISING FREE! Who pays for advertising? The answer is: ‘Successful advertis- ing pays for itself.” That is why advertisers in Key West should give thought and study to their printed appeals, making sure its success, For example, take two stores here. Both have the same business volume, the same expense and much the same goods to sell, One wisely advertises, increases sales, \ cuts down the per cent of overhead, turns | over goods, eliminates shelf-loss, and makes | less sales with higher overhead per sale, | stagnant goods and loses money. In_ this case the advertiser is out nothing, the non- advertiser pays. This example being sufficient for the lesson, the merchant-reader may ask, “How | can I successfully advertise?” And, that, ladies and gentlemen, is a real question. A'dvertising is a sales force that works differently under different con- | ditions, depending in part upon the per- | sonality of the advertiser, the class to which he appeals and what he has to sell. While The Citizen is glad to cooperate with all advertisers and willingly does all that it can to assure success, the major re- sponsibility of advertising any business must, of necessity, rest upon the advertiser, who will only be able to test, experiment and follow the system that leads to his suc- cess. All we can say, and we do say, is “Ad- vertising, successfully done, costs the ad- vertiser nothing. Chemistry is a great field as you will readily agree when you learn that “a dihydric alcohol polyester of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid selected from the group | consisting of fumaric, maleic, citraconic and itaconic acids” is nothing but an improved printing ink, used by many newspapers of the land in operating their high-speed | presses. Anyway, it was the creation of the | late Carleton Ellis, noted chemist, who died recently with 800 patents to his credit. This made him the owner of more patents thar any other man, excepting only the late | Thomas A. Edison and one John O’Connor, a relatively unknown scientist. SHOOTING DOWN GERMAN PLANES An official British compilation reports that 444 German planes were shot down over Britain during 1940 by fire | ground guns, This seems to establish the of the anti-aircraft guns regardless of the num- ber of rounds fired to accomplish the result. Certainly, if 444 German planes were shot out of the sky by guns on the ground there is no reason to doubt but that the have much to do with keeping from value “archies” the flying ships high in the air, where their | j aiming is less effective. {a profit. The other does not advertise, has | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN RELIGION OF LIFE Two similar words that have a very different meaning have been the subject of religious and moral discussion. Both of these words involve the danger of loss. We have heard it said that “‘hife-is a gamble” and try, to. make... our. selves Welieve tHaf it is. “But to gamble there must ‘be’ a” wager with ‘supposedly equal-~possibili- ties for the outcome, while the second word is, risk, and per- tains to the dangers and chances that are taken in the ordinary course of living. There is nei- ‘ther gambling or a risk in con- nection with death, for we know “It is appointed unto man once to die” (Heb. 13:8). So instead of saying that “Life is a gamble” let us more wisely say, “there are certain risks in- volved in all activities of life”. Several conditions must be present in gambling when one person wins, someone else must lose, positively no choices as far as intelligence is concerned, can be made, and the moral law of fairness of parties makes gamb- ling a game of chance involving something of material value. |Then, let us note that there is more than one kind of gambling, and most present-day gambling, so called, does not abide by the above set conditions. The de- vices offered the public as games place certain limitations upon one’s winnings. making them to be games of robbery and thievery instead of games of chance. God said of man in the very begin-'sake shall find it (Matt. 10:39). By REV. TED M. JONES, Pastor of First Baptist Church — ning, “By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread” (Genesis 3:19), and Paul backs up these words by saying, “If any man would not work neither should vhe.eat” CI Thess. 3:10). The old ‘law, the ten/dopmandmeédits says; {“Phou shalt hot steal’ "x. 20:15), | and the new .law.of , love, ,says, “Thou' shalt love thy neighbor’ as thyself” (Mark 12:33). Therefore anything obtained without a legal contract or work is gambling, and ali gambling is lawlessness and is sin. The risks of the human life are great enough to wrestle with, let alone involving ourselves in fraudulent chances and transac- tions. The four-square points to a well-balanced nature involves: |The physical, because we are made of flesh and blood, and we ought to care for our bodies rath- er than risk the chance of their, becoming diseased or injured; morality, because the moral law of nature creates one’s station in life-and controls the moral risk; mental, which determines the amount of risks the moral or physical self can take and sur-' vive, and, last, the spiritual point, | which revolves around the phys-| ‘ical, moral and mental to define | the one great risk in life, to lose| it or save it. The spiritual does ‘mot involve buying, gambling or ‘barter, but makes man a free agent, when He said, “He that findeth his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for my) Sunday School Lesson FORGIVENESS AND GRATITUDE International Sunday School Les- son for February 16, 1941 Golden Text: “Be ye kind one to another, tender-heart- ed, forgiving each other, ev- en as God also in Christ for- gave you”. Lesson Text: Luke 17:1-4, 11-19 The seventeenth chapter of | Luke includes the teaching of Je- ‘sus on several different subjects, | the probability being that they | were words spoken by him at dif- \ferent. times, perhaps, under dif- ferent circumstunces. The first two verses concern the heavy re- sponsibility of those who cause others to sin. Verses 3-4 admon- ish mankind to be forgiving to every brother. Then comes a comparison from nature to illus- trate the power of faith, followed by a lesson in humility contained by a parable. Emphasis on grati- ‘tude is revealed in the story of the ten lepers and the closing of the chapter contains a statement of conditions which will take place before the second coming. Jesus was interested in the de- velopment of life to the fullest extent for each individual—a de- velopment recogi®izing the pri- mary importance of spiritual and eternal values. He fully under- stood that very often these high- ,er qualities were contrasted un- favorably by the world with ma- terial things of lesser worth. Je-' sus khew that ong who sought to live by the principles of his kingdom would netessarily en: counter temptations and obstacles ‘es he pursued his way through a material world. While one who fell a victim to such delu- sions and traps would be harm- ed, Jesus spoke the greater con- demnation which would be vis- ited upon that one who caused him to stumble. Apparently greater punishment awaits those who deliberately entice striving men and women from the path of rectitude than those weaker ones | who succumb to the wiles and al- lurements craftily placed in their way. An unforgiving spirit may be a cause for stumbling to others and to that extent there seems to be the possibility of a thought connection between the first four verses, Jesus warned his disci- pies that a forgiving spirit was necessary for his kingdom, insist- ing that if one was done wrong he must forgive the evildoer. Some emohasize the words, “if he repent” as the condition prece- for the Christian require- of forgiveness for wrong while this particular text mav ww such an interpretation it ould be so much out of har- y with the example and teaching of Jesus that it should be rejected. As a matter of fact, on the cross Jesus prayed for the forgiveness of those who were executing him. that they knew not what they were doing. Fail- ure to realize wrong-doing nega- tives the fact of repentance. The apostles asked Jesus to in- crease their faith The supplies- tion indicates that the realized the insufficiency of their faith and recognized in Jesus a ‘power to increase it. Jesus an- swered that faith “as a grain of ‘mustard seed” would perform the | impossible. | The parable in verses seven to} ‘ten concern the attitude of the \servant. When he has perform- ed the duties laid upon him by |his master, he should not expect any unusual reward as a matter jof right because he has only per- \formed his. duty. So, the lesson ‘is, when the follower of Jesus, has performed his task, he has no | ‘ight to self-complacency and pride fer doing what he should have done. The reward that, comes to him will be a matter of generosity from his Creator. This parable was directed particular- ly to the pretentious followers of Judaism, who paraded and boast- ed of their righteousness. In this day we can also see examples of pride of religion in many. As Jesus proceeded towards Jerusalem he met ten lepers who hailed him with the request for relief from their malady. Jesus instructed them to go to the priest whose duty it was to examine! and pass upon those who had suf- fered with leprosy so that if cur- ed they would no longer be sub- ject to the ban against contact with others. The ten lepers set out and as they proceeded, an act of faith on their part, they realiz-| ed that they had been healed. Only one, a Samaritan, Luke alone informs us, returned to Je- sus to thank him. The others. too eager to re-enter their own lives, either were too careless to ‘give thanks to their benefactor, ! or nut it off in the expectation of doing so on some other day. Commenting upon the Samari- tan whose gratitude caused him to express himself immediately, | Albert Schweitzer says: “In the same. wav we ought all to make an effort to act on our first thoughts and let our unspoken / gratitude find expression. the world, and more power to wotk for what is good. We must! all of us take care not to adopt as part of our theory of life others’ bitter sayings about the ingrati- fude of the world”.
