SIGNS On Easy Payment Plan “Built To Quality—Not To Price” NEIL SAUNDERS LICENSED ELECTRICIANS Latin American Architecture, Art Rapped As Too Immature GAINESVILLE (@®— Caribbean music and dance are much more expressive today of Latin Amer- ican countries than architecture or decorative art, the fifth Con- ference on the Caribbean was told today by a South American author and professor. Delegates at the University of Florida were told by Louis Vera, assistant ‘chief of the division of housing and planning, Pan Amer- ican Union, Washington, D.C., that architectural expression in gen- eral in the area still has far to go; that some of it is good and some bad. ~ For instance, the native of Chile said, buildings of the University of Mexico have been “well ob- Lutherans To Study Advent This Month “Behold, Thy King cometh,” is the Advent message that will be considered during the services of worship during the coming weeks before Christmas at Grace Luth- eran Church, Flagler and Tenth Sireet. z The Christian Church has now come into the season of Advent, a time in which Christians prepare themselves spiritually — not only materially and physically with worldly preparations—but mainly spiritually. for the coming’ of the Babe of Bethlehem. Threefold Coming The word “Adverit” means com- ing. For the next. three Sundays the three-fold coming of the King of, kings will form the basis for the meditations at Grace Lutheran. Christ’s first coming, into the flesh; His second coming, into our hearts; and His third coming, on the Great Day to judge the world in righteousness, will be the three- fold emphasis of Advent. We must truly prepare ourselves to receive Him in each of His com- ings. First Baptist Sermon Topic Announced On Sunday morning the sermon topic at the First Baptist Church will be “God’s Promissory Note.” Text. taken from Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel,” This promissory note which was acknowledged and signed by Je- hovah in the garden of Eden, and in the fullness of time demandable in the life of our Saviour culminat- ed in the Cross of Calvary. Prophecies Fulfilled Every one of the 229 passages in the Old Testament concerning the coming of the Saviour have been fulfilled. They tell that He would be the Seed of the Woman, born of a Virgin, of the family of Shem, of the Hebrew race, of the seed of Abraham, of the line of Isaac, of Jacob, of Judah, of the house of David, and born in Bethlehem, He was to‘ suffer, to die on the Cross, to be buried, to rise from the dead, to ascend into heaven, to triumph mightily, and to appear at the end of the world.

There is a great deal of faith and hope in their efforts.” William A. Weber, manager of gulf division of Alco Steamship Co., New Orleans, a sponsor of the conference whose general theme is contemporary Caribbean culture, said American taxpayers have a stake in the amount of shipping between this country and the Car- ibbean. “Unless we buy we cannot sell,”® he said, adding that the United States must make a careful study before placing restrictive import regulations on commodities “which could benefit a few but could: de- stroy even more at home besides causing loss of friends and cus+ tomers abroad.” He said 15 companies are re- ceiving financial help from the government but that Alcoa is not one of them and emphasized that “if revenues earned from trans- portation services predicated upon a two-way haul are materially re- duced the immediate readiness of a number of modern vessels for purposes of national defense may be threatened.” This is the only conference of its kind in the United States.
