BILOXI LURES
ARE MANY

Situated on a peninsula extend
ing into the Gulf of Mexico, Biloxi
in Mississippi is one of the old,
romantic and charming cities of
the South. Gigantic moSS-draped
evergreen oaks grow to the wa
ter'S edge. Roses bloom the year
around. MagnoliaS and pines,
semitropic plants and colorful
flowers grow in profuSion. The
entire Biloxi area is a game pre-
serve which accounts for its many
songbirds and birds of brilliant
plumage.
Eight flags have flown over
Biloxi since Pierre LeMoyne d'Iber-
vile and his intrepid explorers
and colonistS established the first
capital Of the ancient Louisiana
Province on the Bay Of Biloxi in
1899. The majestic lighthouse,
Fort Massachusetts, Benachi Ave.
ME with veritable cathedral Of
oaks. s''Beauvoir," last home of
Jefferson Davis, and outlying
islands are among the historic
points Of interest.
MANY ATTRACTIONS
The salubrity of the climate. low
cost living conditions, and the de.
lightful scenery have induced
MANY retired people to move to
BILOXI and build homes.
Golf. fishing, tennis, hunting
and boating are among the chief
outdoor sports. The Biloxi Yacht
club, the Biloxi Golf Club, and
the fine salt and fresh-water fish
ing are among BiloXi'S attractive
assets. The park system includes
the beautiful Naval Reserve Park
and its majestic oaks and the
Central Beach Park with outdoor
attractions for visitors.
The mighty tarpon, "Silver
king Of Gulf waters, the beautiful
Sneckled sea trout and fighting
redfish are among the salt water
varieties of fishing to be enjoyed
about Biloxi waters. Power boats,
welI-equipped for fishing, take
narties out for cruising, especially
in the summer.
POINTS OF INTEREST
The Old Spanish Trail claims
Biloxi as one of it's most beautiful
cities. Paved highways lead to
the North, Midwest and East.
Biloxi'S latest acquisition IS a
new national soldiers home and a
United States Coast Guard air
base. The new soldiers home of
the United States Veterans Ad-
ministration Facility, which occu-
pies more than 700 acres, fur
nishes a delightful haven for vet
Grams of all wars. The buildings
and equipment are the most mod
ern. The Coast Guard base main
tains a fleet of large, fast sea-
planes for rescue work and for
the protection of the United
States Customs.

So there are a few Of the
charms and curios plucked at ran
dom from the large treasury chest
of New Orleans attractions and
advantages. One could range at
large and without restraint, for
example. on the unique burial
customs of New Orleans, the city
that does not bury its dead.
New Orleans glorifies its dead
by placing the bodies in costly
marble and granite tomhs. Once
upon a time burials of this kind
we're perhaps a necessity, but not
any more.

fish hatcheries in the world. Hunt
ers are in their glory here because

migratory waterfowl select the
New Orleans area for their winter
home.
But the acme Of New Orleans
recreation is Mardi Gras, a cele.
bration that is distinctly different
from any other celebration in this
country. 1t is, perhaps, rather a
custom that has passed on un-
changed from generation to gen.

Every city has a dominant char.
acteristic that may be found in
its industries, its commercial at.
tainments, it's historic associa-
tons, its cultural achievements,
its intellectual pursuits, or in
some other distinguishing feature.
This dominant characteristic
gives individuality to the city pos
seSSing it and this individuality,
when marked, gives the city its
personality.
What is the dominant charac-
teriStic that gives New Orleans its
personality?
Is it the port? No. The port is
not the one distinctive feature Of
the city.
Is it the Vieux Care? All! The
Vieux Care is a lovely old Sec
ton with unique and mysterious
charm but still it is not the sole
attribute that Identifies the city.
COLORFUL CELEBRATION
Is It Mardi Gras? A colorful
and unique celebration, to be sure,
but not the one symbol Of the
city's individuality.
Is it its balmy climate, its year
round recreation facilities. its
lovely parks, its tropical foliage,
or it's beautiful homes? Hardly
for none Of these, in itself, carries
with it the label, Il am the per
sonality Of New Orleans"
What, then, constitutes the per,
Sonality Of New Orleans? None
of these just mentioned; yet all
of them and more. Yes. you can
discover the dominant character
iStic of New Orleans only when
you gather together its VieuX
Care, its buildings, port, parks,
food, Mardi GraS and many other
distinguishing features.
II all of these could be gathered
into one large stimulus, then New
Orleans would appear as the city
superb, as the city not with a
personality but with many charm
ing personalities.
Looking at New Orleans from
this point Of view, your magma
lions and your ambitions would
be stirred by the names and the
deeds Of Bienville, Lafitte, Jack
son, Beauregard, Tulane, Audubon
and the many others whose
achievements in the fields of edu-
cation, science, art, commerce and
war have contributed to the great
ness that is New Orleans.
Their achievements, their ro-
mances and their adventures still

IN 1899, Bienville first explored the
L Mississippi River and recognized
the strategic and commercial possibil-
tiles of a little village occupied by
Houma Indians. In consequence, the
French established military post at the
spot, in 1918, and named it Nouvelle
Orleans in honor of the regent of
France, the Duke of Orleans. To col

association which links it with every
other portion of the United States.
For a long period, New Orleans was
known as the "Crescent City" because
it followed the wide curve of the Missis-
sippi. Changes in the channel of the
river have eliminated this natural curve
but streets running north and south still
follow the curve of the original river
bed-which now is lined by more than

1862 a secret treaty coded the land to
Spain, and brought Spaniards from
Cuba and Spain to do their part in col

their architectural ideas and traditions

fluence became predominant after 1894
when disastrous fire destroyed large

1901, Spain coded the territory back to
France. Two years later, the Louisi

Sunday, Nov. 10.
Read Philemon. Study Phiie-
mon 4-20.
The letter to Philemon, whose
house was the meetingplace OF the
ColOssian Christians, was called
forth by the conversion and return
of his slaye, Onesimus, who, after
robbing him, ran away, and soon
drifted to Rome, I"here he came
up with Paul and was converted.
Though he proved himself service
able to the apostle, the penitent
slave was sent back with this let
ter to his offended master. He was
accompanied by Tychicus, who
bore at the same time, the letter
to the Colossians. There is no
doubt that Paups letter was eff
fective.
BROTHERHOOD PRAISE
Paul the Prisoner bases his APP
peal to Philemon on their mutual
love. He could have made his re-
quest with authority: The author
ity in Christ who gave the bold
ness TO do so: the authority Of
conscience which commands what
is befitting; the authority of age
which in his experience and Wis
dom was entitled to respect; and
the authority of suffering, for the
Apostle was now confined in his
first imprisonment at Rome. But
he resorted to appeal rather than
command, for he and Philemon
were friends and both should be
friendly to Onesimus.
BROTHERHOOD PETITION
Paul the Parent makes his plea
as the spiritual father of Onesi-
mus. Mark the stages upward in
the career of Onesimus: First, a
slave in the houhehold of wealthy
Philemon at Colosse; then, as a
fugitive thief an drunaway who
finally drifted to the Imperial
City; then, as a convert to Chris
tianity through the influence of
Paul whom he sought out in Rome;
then, as a minister and very valu-
able helper to Paul in many ways
during his Imprisonment: then, as
a messenger from the Apostle at
Rome to Philemon at Colosse, for
Paul. much as he needed the help
of the converted runaway. would
not retain him without the con-
sent of his master; and finally as
a brother beloved who had proved
his right to the title and revealed
a character that guaranteed his
dependability in the future. With
what tenderness Paul pleaded for
Onesimus who at last was living
up to his name which means
profitable" though he had shown
himself Improbable in his flight
from Philemon.
