The noblest citizen is always the pub- lie-spirited man or woman. A nation lives and prospers, not by wealth alone or force alone, but by morality. er 7 Smart people rarely become incensed when ignorant people disagree with their opinions, Talking back te the teacher is one way to demonstrate what you don’t know, and it isn't smart. The happiness of mankind seems ever | hindered by dictators like Hitler, Mus- | solini or Stalin. { Perhaps Noah took all, those animals | into the Ark because he was skeptical about | ‘he stork tradition, Baa Be!

Eskimo tribes are said to be- person with a bad temper is a devil. Anyway, the idea logical. lieve that a Certa possessed by eem of the “meral embargo against shipment to Russia was apparently purely diplomatic move. Russia is as air- tight a dictatorship as Germany or Italy, and has played ball with Hitler. But the Bri and United States governments sti?! hope that Russia may yet be weated away from the Axis, Lifting the embargo was obviously designed to drive a wedge be- tween Hitler and Stalin. Removal | ter city, Miami, has fallen; we can draw a j lesson by whch Key West may profit and place it on the record against those times whey some easy money expert, some car- nival promoter, will dangle « glittering bait | before the city if we will just let him use | Key West as am ambush from which he may | sally forth to raid the general pocketbook. A nationally known sports writer who | does a daily column, bewails the fact that in } Miami the season for collecting “get-away money” advances every year so that if it continues to progress at the present rate, the thugs will be meeting the arriving | suckers at the trains, instead of waiting | until the end of the season which would | make it very bad indeed for the night clubs, the race tracks the protected gambling joints and kindred industries. Miami believed that to prosper, it must become all things to all men and saw no fatal flaw in assuming the role of a devout | church goer who is also a fascinating lady of the evening. And few there be that get away with it. So there was splendid en- couragement cf churches and universities ; protected brothels and crooked dice games; art centers and clean. wholesome sports; | race tracks and obscene night clubs at | which the degenerates of Paris would have ! found themselves at home. And did. No less a person than J. Edgar Hoover has placed himself on record as saying that these leper spots can not exist in any com- munity without the knowledge and protec- tion of peace officers sworn to uphold the law and paid by its violators to protect them. So, the vicious circle does its deadly work. Miami may choose between a civic revolution or becoming pre-eminent among the wide-open towns of ancient and modern history and emulating them in phos- phorescent brilliance. What is the lesson for Key West? Observe the sequence of the events that have overtaken our sister city. A class exists so wealthy that they have forgotten how to amuse themselves. Their jaded senses no longer respond to healthy stimuli. | templated by them. They are self-anoint- ed outlaws and they demand out-law en- “audacious”, where the “entertainment ap- proaches most nearly to the lowest forms of perversion, where the M. C. will make his audience gasp with the mos risque de- money; and if the season’s to be prolonged the vicious circle must ever become more vicious. So, the word goes forth that no form of entertainment is to be interfered with (providing it pays for recognition) the "jaded crowd goes where its wants are pro- vided for and the underworld, as deadly wise as any serpent, hangs on the flanks of the fat, degenerate herd and makes its kill. Hence the Miami Police Department sends out a list of 39 items, ranging from diamonds down, that the strong arm gentry have col- lected wthin the last few days and daily we | matter what inducement they may | fered to prostitute Key West, they will be | grief: | read of other rich strikes that they have | made. All this is the penalty paid by Miami for a mistaken idea that there should be no | limit in the toleration extended to any “at- traction” regardless of what it attracts. Key West is regarded as a precious | place by many of our visitors because of the absence of these low grade “attrac- tions”. We are urged to keep it so. We can do this only by a united front that will | make it plain to our city fathers that no be of- much better off if they decline the offer. But if only the lower world offers en- tertainment, and we offer no competition in the form of clean, decent entertainment, we abandon Key West to the wolves.

TED M. JONES, Pastor of First. Baptist Chusch Success in some realms of thinking is lifé’s highest achieve- ment. To cross the goal line and to set up a marker of victory may be attained early or late in life and we question whether it is lite’s greatest achievement. Bal- boa set out to discover the parts beyond the Gulf of Mexico and planted for Spain their flag in Pacific waters, but few of us recognize that while his goal was reached, Balboa left the Ba- hama Islands disgraced because he owed so many debts and could not square himself with his fel- lowman. Then what is Life’s highest achievement? In all walks of life, the highest achievement fs found in our aims and the methods of aiming. The large guns in our forts and bat- tleships are tempered so that the ,master gunman can easily hit the target whether the distance be great or small. Most of us as civilians could cause these guns te fire in a course of time but, if the target were hit it would be a mere coincident. So many of us want to emphasize the word “pull” while the foremost. art is to set the goal by hitching the wagon. In our aims in life we find them in two separate sections, thase which regard the material and those which regard the spir- itual. If one’s spiritual aim is met, the material aim . for fhe most part takes care of itself, that is providing the spiritual aim is inot just a mere moral desire. To the policeman, his aim is to ‘be true to the captain, to the army or navy officer his aim is to be true to his superior officer, reve Eset |FLEMING SIHEET METHODIST | (Uptown) CHURCH Fleming at William Street Rev. W. R. Howell alii fa] ts to the carpenter or plumber his aim is to satisfy the contractor; for whom he works, but to each ; ior officer is God, | ot us, our s for “The earth is the Lord’s and | the fullness thereof; the world, ; and all they that dwell therein” (Psalms 24:1). And if we be true! to Him,. the great architect of the | world, we ought to aim at the thing that will please Him, and declare, “Not my will, but thine be done” (Luke 22:42). There- fore, it matters not what kind of a fighting arm we use, for we know with Paul, “I can do all things through Christ | which strengtheneth me” (Phil. 4:13). Religion in Life is to aim like our superior would have us aim. To be dissatisfied with the shal- low goals set by human flesh and! the carnal desires of man, and to aim high, just as high as the God- head will give us vision, for “We look unto the hills from whence cometh our help; for our help cometh from the Lord” (Ps. 121:1). Anything less than our aiming at God’s our superior. “Haye a purpose in life, and having .it, through in- to your work such strength of mind and muscle as God ‘has giv- en you”.—Carlyle. It is too easy to try to Satisfy self, and fail, and never, aim higher. Let us.then determine to satisfy Him, who holds the reigns of all things for his voice ex- presses all power. Billy Sunday said of religion one ,time, “It ‘is better to,aim high and knock the tail feathers out of an eagle; than Sui to kill a skunk”.
