Wriston, President of Brown University, made a study of the State Department and Foreign Service of the United States and recommended the following changes: 1. The creation of a new recruiting service for for- eign service officers, which would include a program of scholarships for college students in U. S. universities. 2. Expansion of the foreign service to a size almost double the present 1,300-man service. 8. Reorganization of the present Foreign Service Institute so that the institute might serve as a training school for foreign service officers. These changes, if adopted by Congress, would tend to make the U. S. Foreign Service more of a professional organization. There has long been criticism of the United States State Department and its foreign service person- nel on the ground that U.S. diplomats were amateurs — lacking life-long training — compared with diplomats of other countries. In a sense, this criticism is justified. In Britain, there is a system of training foregn service personnel which has worked successfully for many decades. Students, deciding upon government careers, adapt their college training to their future profession and the government contributes its cooperation toward the produc- tion of highly-trained foreign service personnel. The net result is that when young men and women begin their service at the Foreign Office in London, they are already specifically trained for their job and prepared for the situations they are likely to face! The recommendations of the committee, headed by Dr. Writson, are sound, based on the study of experiences in,other cogntries and in the best and vital interest of the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that the dem- ocracies have lost about as many battles on the political and diplomatic front in recent years as they have lost on the military front. The Russians certainly employ skilled and hard-boiled diplomats on every major occasion, and the United States should quickly move to improve the training, ability and effectiveness of its State Department and Foreign Service officers. Curiosity is still the basis of most of our knowledge; are you curious? The man who tries to read every new book is as crazy as the man who reads none.

Rogers To End Current Sermon Series Billy Roberts will be at the piano at the Church of the Rock, 535 Francis Street, again Sunday morn- ing. During the vacation period and in the absence of Mrs. William Thompson now on vacation with her people in Tennessee, Billy has been serving the Church of the Rock in a most acceptable manner. Sunday School Announcement The Sunday school will begin at ten o’clock, 535 Francis Street Sunday morning. Mr. William Hill, who has been gone for sever- al weeks due to his mother’s opera- tion, is back with his class of young People. Ralph Noble, the Superintendent, hasbeen presenting regular scholars with appropriate awards. Last Sunday Little Lany Looper received her third year bar for regular attendance for that period of time. Others were presented awards for three and six months attendance. To Conclude Series At the regular church services beginning at eleven o'clock, the Rey. Ralph Rogers will bring the} message. He is concluding his | series of sermons on ‘Man’ and, Sunday will recommend “Man’s Mentor and Guide.” Often success stories indicate that some one has pulled himself up by his own boot straps, that he is “self-made.” It has also been said and with considerable evi- dence, that there is no such thing | as a self-made man. Debt to a Hero Every successful man can thank thank some friend, a mother or father for the encouragement, sup- | port and counsel which has given them eminence in their particular field. We are “what we are” largely because we have set our sails to- wards a certain goal and directed our energy toward that particular objective. We have aspired to be like some- body else, our hero and idol, or else we could not grow or succeed. The greatest example this world has yet found is Jesus Christ who} should be our “Mentor and Guide.” Visitors and service families are | cordially invited to worship with the Church of the Rock. Movie Producer Dies In Hollywood HOLLYWOOD (#—Leonard Gold- stein, 51, who produced such mo- tion pictures as the Francis series involving a mule and the Ma and| Pa Kettle series, died last night | of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Busto is vigorously prosecuting his investi- gations relative to alleged frauds in the First and Second primaries in Monroe county. Despite the fact that Key West has been receiving some pretty: hard knocks from several cities of the state in connection with the rehabilitation program recently in- stalled by the FERA unit, it is shown that practically all other cities or towns in Florida of any consequence are lending ‘their hearty cooperation toward having the Island City take its former status as one of the leading ports among the various places through- out this rapidly growing state. Norberg Thompson, chairman of the board of county commissioners, left on the ferry Parrot last night for a business trip to Cuba. xk &-& July 24, 1944 Approximately a dozen Key West residents face possible arraignment in Municipal Court unless they pay their scavenger bills by tomorrow night. When are shorts too short? That was the question facing Judge Wesley P. Archer in Municipal court at 4 p.m. today as the first person to be arrested by Key West police charged with wearing too scanty shorts, was scheduled to appear in court. s Taking out a building permit to construct a fence doesn’t give a person the right to build a building, says City Building Inspector Ralph Russell, and as a result a Key Wester has been summoned to appear in Municipal Court this afternoon to explain the matter. Special Music Planned For Fleming Street “My Prayer” by Clarke will open the Sunday morning service at the Fleming Street Methodist church at 10:50, played on the or- gan by Mrs. Claude Salis. The choir will sing the stirring ‘Praise Ye The Father,” by Gounod. Brotherly Love The Reverend J. E. Statham will speak on the “Responsibility of Be- longing.” As Jesus sat with the disciples under the shadow of the mandment. ‘“‘A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another!” This unity of brotherhood in Christ is declared by John, the apostle of love when he wrote, “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.” Evening Service At the evening service beginning at 7:30, Mr. Statham will use as iously ealled a “Kentucky”, squir- rel” or “hog” rifle still is used in competitions for marksmen, | his subject, “Tollgates on the | Highway of the Kingdom.” “Lest we pay the demands of New Members Welcomed At El Salvador El Salvador Methodist Ccurch is celebrating ‘Victory Through Christ” in the last week of the re- vival campaign with a special “Victory Sunday.” A very special program will be presented with the official recep- tion of new members and their families. New members to be admitted into full connection are Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Calleja, Mr. and Mrs. Feliciano Castro, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Jose Fernandez, Mrs. Guillermina Cardenas, Antonio Garcia, Mr. and Mrs. Mario Perez Rolo. After the reception of new mem- bers, a consecration service for new officers who were elected at the last Quarterly Conference, will be held. The consecration will be follow- ed by initiation of the Every Member Canvass to be celebrat- ed with installation of new officers. From Sunday through Friday of next week, special evangelistic meetings will be celebrated every day with all church organizations taking part. On Monday the Ladies Mission- ary Society will have charge of the meeting. Tuesday, the Methodist Men’s group will lead the service. The Young People of the church will preside and take part in Wed- nesday’s meeting. Thursday and Friday, the pastor, Reverend Manuel Figueroa, will lead special services of hymns and preaching. The public is cordially invited. Rev. D. M. Barker Will Supply At Poinciana Baptist Reverend D. M. Barker will serve as supply pastor and Sunday School superintendent at the Poin- ciana Baptist Church for the next three Sundays. The minister, Dr. J. L. Ivey and Mrs. Ivey will leave Monday morning for a three-week vacation in Virginia. The Little People’s Kindergarten and Nursery School will close on July 26 and will re-open August 31. Mrs. Ivey directs the school. consecration and sacrificial living we will not be able to travel the highway of the kingdom of God,” Mr. Statham said. “Chanson Triste” by Tschaikow- ski will be Mrs. Salis’ prelude and for her postlude, she will play Stickles’ “Marche Solonelle.”” The choir will sing ‘‘Blessed Are They” by Holton. 4 Bible School Ninety one children are register- ed in the Bible school which has completed half of the course of study. The absorption of the chil- dren is beautiful to see, and no parent will want to miss the clos- ing exercises at the end of next week. The first practice of the rhythm band in the youngest group alert- ed the entire school but now the older children continue their work without hesitation, If Peat is heated to dry it com- pletely, it will take up about 16 per cent of its weight in water from the air. Sermon On The Mount Theme Of Rev. Coulter’s Address The “Sermon on the Mount” will provide the background for the sermon to be given at the First Presbyterian Church tomorrow morning. The words of Christ “Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God” is the text chosen-by the minister. We may ask what is the Kingdom of God? Christ said by inference that the Kingdom is not economics, not mechanical nor formal. Sayings of Christ From several distinct sayings of Christ we conclude the Kingdom is interior, invisible and present. It is the reign of God’s love in the human life, and the recogni- tion of the Kingship of Christ. At the evening worship hour at 7:30 p. m. the series of studies in the Epistle to the Hebrews will be continued. > In the absence of Mrs. John Ar- cher, church organist and choir di- rector, the music will be in charge of Miss Doreen Clawson. Church Meetings The Youth Fellowships will meet | tomorrow night at 6:30 with the program this week in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Cahill. The Executive Board of the Wo- men of the Church will meet on Monday night at 8 p. m. in the] church social hall. The minister of the church will start his vacation on Monday, Aug-| ust 9 and will be away for Sun-| days August 15, 22 and 29. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Growing through Prayer. Luke 11:1-13, Phil. 4:6,7 by Ralph Roger While the disciples failed to grasp the whole of Jesus’ messages day by day, they did observe that there was about him a certain calm assurance, a tranquility es- pecially noted in one who knows what he is about and has the strength and courage to push for- ward toward a specific and definite goal. This the disciples lacked. They wanted it and concluded that the secret was in prayer. Like most of us, they felt they were not getting the full benefit of prayer so they asked Jesus to teach them to pray. Jesus gained tremendous strength through prayer. He assures us that we can also grow in spiritual strength and in answer to the dis- ciples’ request, he gave them a prayer that a child can understand and yet is so boundless and pro- found that it can guide the most mature and intelligent mind to the throne of God. Prayer Solves Problems There are times when we all meet perplexing problems or feel a deep need of guidance. Abra- ham Lincoln was a very lonely and was converted to Christianity becoming one of the greatest Christian saints. things in our ignorance which be- come a danger and a curse. God knows our needs but one thing we {must ask for, that is the. Holy | Spirit, and he cannot give it with- out the asking. How Should We Ask | Prayer has been variously de- |seribed. It is “the attitude of a {soul toward God, or “the soul’s sincere desire, uttered or unex- |pressed.” It not only brings the soul nearer God but brings God jnearer the soul. If we trust him to give us the things we need, then why worry? A church had a | sign which read, “Why worry when jyou can pray?” Whatever the jtension. or problems one can find release, assurance, comfort from that which disturbs the petitioner. Paul tells us to pray in supplica- tion. express gratitude, be thank ful since this implies submission. The | Christian should be ‘anxious in jnothing, prayerful in everything, ;thankful for anything.” While Jesus stressed “trust” Paul thinks that supplication and thanksgiving We often demand | Be specific in our appeals. | Along with our asking we should} man who knew he had able but | selfish men about him.

The Florida Synod Of Presbyterians [Forms New Groups JACKSONVILLE (#—The Flork da Synod of the Presbyterian Church now has five presbyteries in place of three. The group this week divided St. Johns Presbytery into three parts, Tampa Bay Presbytery was cre ated to include Polk, Citrus, Her- nando, Hardee, Sarasota, DeSoto, Lee and Charlotte counties. Gulf Stream Presbyery was created to include St. Lucie, Mar- tin, Glades, Hendry, Palm Beach, Broward, Collier, Dade and Mon- roe counties. St. Johns Presbytery is left with Flagler, Volusia, Lake, Sumter, Seminole, Orange, Brevard, Os- ceola, Highlands Okeechobee and Indian River counties. The other two presbyteries in the state are unchanged, Florida Presbytery in the northwest and Suwannee Presbytery in the north- ae Gems Of Thoncht THE RIGHT THINKER It is the hardest thing in the world to -be a good thinker with- out being a good self-examiner, | —Shaftesbury. ; The great thinker is never a | disputant.

My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insuffici- ent for the day.” There is always a great comfort and assurance through prayer in time of danger. When Granvi P.

Lewis Dunnington tells of a Rus- ‘ing at the picture of Christ. Some- one asked him what he was doing and he said “I am looking at Him | forgetting all else. It must be in ac- | cord with God’s will.

The 2Nd he is looking at me.” Prayer | tan storm rose at eight o’clock on the morning of February 11th. It rag- ed all day sweeping away pieces of the ship’s railing, ventilators and boat cover. “‘Heavy seas sweep the ship. Only God san save our ship now,” so wrote Lindley in his diary, and “the men are fall- ing down praying.” As the storm abated about eight o’clock in the evening he wrote “Thank God, our prayers have been answered.” Often we hear folks talk about unanswered prayer. God answers all prayers though sometimes, as in the case of the little girl who prayed for a pony at Christ- mas, the answer is no.” Then too, our wordy selfish petition and demand may not be a prayer at all. Like the disciples, we need to learn how to pray. Jesus tells us in the example he never uses “I” or “me” or “my” but always our, we, us, making it wholly unselfish. We need to pray not for our own benefit, advantage, other than that we may be helpful in the great universal pian of salvation to all men. It must be in accord with God’s divine will. An Urgent Appeal Naturally the Heavenly Father knows our needs before we ask him. However we are to ask, and it shall be given. Jesus uses the illustration of a man who unex- pectedly has guests and finds the larder empty. He goes to a neigh- bor for help even at midnight. While the friend is in bed and the children asleep and would not like to be disturbed, yet because of his importunity he arises and gives as many loaves as he needs. Impor- tunity means “to annoy, to press urgently, violently, vexatiously, unreasonably.”” Who wouldn’t an- swer such a request? Jesus seems to be telling his dis- ciples that prayer should be quiet, reasonable, non-violent. It isn’t necessary to shout or to stand pounding at the gates of heaven demanding favors. God knows our needs and certainly he will answer our prayer at .any time day or night without fuss and con- fusion. Just as the neighbor knew his friend would get up in the middle of the night to accommodate a friend, so should we trust God to fulfill our needs so long as they meet with God’s interests and plans. - Too many ask for foolish things. Often we ask for the very thing that would be our undoing. Agrip- pina asked for the recovery of her infant son. Nero did get well and does just that.
