IT IS A DAY in which the won- derful spirit of giving, something } which is of the mce of the soul, is more evident than at a | other time of the year. In re- | ligion there are only three things | which I have discovered, one is that when you hurt someone | somehow or the other the hurt z ways returns to you and the op- | posite -corollary which | when you. give the bread com back multi-fold on the waters the second is submission to the | Great, Kind Will, for until this ! submission,- this giving up com- {one is bound to the finite trou | blesome things of this world; fin of the world which God has sent one, gifts which one has not asked for and yet received in abund- ance. In short, these are but the increases from the Golden Rule and the ‘Belief in Immortality. : _e@ e THERE IS NO SNOW in Key West’s Christmas, there is only | ics and the basking, smiling blue and green with sunlight dipped ning star brighter than is seen in places north of us. Then to this green land and this bright silver star is added the poinsettia’s tapered blood red leaves, the traditional Christmas flower and the scores of red blossoms which bloom forth at this.time. There is a great deal of God’s presence as seen in nature’s bounty around us. e e WE HAVE HERE, too, visitors from many lands and many climes which make Key West the cos- mopolitan city it is.

This laughing, ebony race among} whom I have many friends also and who, with me, have pulled mightily on a boat’s fast slipping lines or who have stood with me against the wind and wave while ! boating, is somewhat different than the colored neople of other states. There is rarely any racial trouble between white and color- ed here. There is a mutual re- spect, which is beautiful to be- hold. Each values certain quali- ties in the other.
