Lesson Text: Romans LILLY;
3:21-30; SILL; 10:11-15

That Paul had a definite sense
of his mission in the world is evil
dent to those who have studied
MS life at all. After his meeting
with Christ on the road to Da-
mascus, every atom of his ener-
gy and every possible minute of
his time was spent in carrying
out the dynamic purpose of his
life-preaching the gospel OF
Christ. He was absolutely con-
WINGED that the salvation of the
world depended upon the utter
ance and the acceptance of this
message.
A study of his life's work will
show that he carried the gospel
message first to "the lost sheep OF
the House of Israeli and many
there were among the Jews who
accepted the Christ he preached.
However. when he met with stern
Jews, he turned to the Gentiles
and thereafter preached princi-
pally to them.
In his letter to the Christians
in the city of Rome (Which is the
basis of our study this week.,
Paul identifies himself to them
declaring that he is the bondserv-
ant or slave of his master, Jesus
, Christ, and that he was called or
set apart, to be an apostle or mis-
sionary to proclaim the gospel to
the world. Then in a most con-
else way, he sums up what the
gospel is: it is good news from
God, revealing unto men his mer-
cy and goodness through his plan
of salvation, whereby he sent Je-
sus Christ, his only begotten Son,
into the world to live, love, suf-
fer, die and be raised from the
dead, that all who believed on
him should not receive their just
punishment for sin, but would
have everlasting life through Je-
sus Christ their Lord.
This plan of salvation was not
to be confined to the Jews alone,
but was offered to all in the whole
wide world, the only condition
being that they believe in and ac-
cept Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
as their Saviour. Thus, the Cos
pei of God which Paul preached
was a worldwide gospel and the
blessings offered by the grace of
God could be obtained and enjoy
ed by everyone who would avail
himself of its privileges.
Paul evidently realized the diff
ficulty which the believers in
Rome were having in the midst
of the paganism and persecution
of this imperial city. Yet, from
the reports he had received, they
were very active, for he declares:
Your faith is spoken of through
out the whole world. For this,
the apostle was deeply thankful,

Insurance statistics show

Insurance statistics show that most
widows who came into possession of money
or property upon the death of their hus-
bands were without funds at the end of
two years. The stumbling blocks are
friends who urge investments in various
schemes that turn out badly and par
ticularly relatives who borrow money and
never find themselves able to repay the
sums borrowed, or who inveigle the widow
to advance money in risky ventures with
promises of rich rewards that never
materialize. Whatever the cause insurance
research reveals that the money is gen.
orally frittered away before the lapse of
two years. If the above is criterion, it
appears to be good judgment for those in
position to leave wills to have the allow
ance parcelled in the form of annuities,
terminating with the annuitant's death.

ZONING AND BUILDING

After months of efforts by the Key
West Zoning Board, realtors, public
spirited citizens and Representative Ber-
ME C. Papy, the Key West Zoning Ordi-
nance is now law. 1t was validated by
the State Legislature and yesterday it was
signed by Governor Fred Cone.
This is one of the long steps forward
that Key West has taken within the last
year to help rehabilitate herself. The new
law sets up precise zones in which certain
types of structures may be erected. 1t
protects the small property owner from
onerous burdens in the construction of a
modest home, and it gives those able to af-
ford more expensive dwellings protection
against depreciation and annoyance by
reason of nearby Objectionable structures.
The Citizen knows of several prop
erty owners who some time ago announced
their intention of going ahead with con-
struction of new residences as soon as the
zoning ordinance was validated by the
Legislature. There is now no reason
longer to hold up this work for want of
proper building regulations. The COVER
nor's signature on the act should be the
signal for starting the Key West con-
struction program-a program that will
give employment to architects, skilled
workmen in many lines and dozens of
laborers. When the work gets we'll under
way it should take up much of the unem-
ployment slack occasioned by WPA lay
offs, seasonal inactivity and destruction of
the sponge beds. substantial volume of
construction activity will help every line
of business, step up the demand for work
ers in many directions. 1t will be boon
to all of Key West.
One other large obstacle remains to
be hurdled to bring about a real boom in
the amount of commercial, apartment
house and hotel construction activity.
That is a fresh water supply. While the
coming regulations will increase home con-
struction, fresh water supply is essential
in starting something like boom in other
kinds of building.
Everyone identified with the Florida
Keys Aqueduct Commission, our city and
county officials, our representatives in
Tallahassee and Washington and some of
our leading citizens believe Key West is
slated to get federal loans and grants to
construct a fresh water pipeline from the
mainland. Others of our citizens are not
so sure of this. 1t is held in some quarters
the Aqueduct act is invalid, that the PWA
and RFC engineers and officials never
will approve of grants and loans until the
act is revamped.
Suppose Congress does appropriate
additional money to the PWA, is it assured
Key West will get a portion of it for the
pipeline? What is the attitude, officially,
of PWA engineers toward the Aqueduct
act? Does it need legislative repairs to
bring it within the federal requirements?
Would Key West representation in Wash
ington help get the money for this all-im-
portant project?
1t seems to The Citizen that these
questions should be put to the proper fed
eral authorities and the answers presented
to the public. Key West is worried about
the water situation, a building program is
being held up. Let's find out where I'VE
stand on this vital matter sE.

War Resources Board
May Add Members
OF Vital Industries
No Representatives Of

Are Now Included
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Several more industrialists may
be added soon to the board advising
the Army and Navy on their master
plan for wartime mobilization Of
the Nations economic resources, Of
ficials said today.
The six who now compose the
new War Resources Board, headed
by Edward r. Stettinius, jr., United
States Steel Corp. chairman, in
clude no representatives Of fuel,
transportation and other industries
vital in war.
Serving without even the tia
year stipend paid civilian volunteer
advisers and executives of the World
War, the businessmen took home
masses Of data for study over the
week end after their initial session
here Friday. Four arranged to meet
again tomorrow with Army and
Navy officials. Ninety-two officers
in Washington and key manufac-
turing cities are devoting their full
time to industrial blueprints.
More than 10000 plants have been
surveyed since Congress, in the 1920
National Defense Act, ordered pre-
ctutionary preparations to prevent
the confusion that attended the
entry into the World War. Some
10000 of these tentatively have been
allotted definite tasks for "M-day"-
the Army's designation for the start
of mobilization.
The accumulated data fills huge
filing cases at the War Department
and decentralized branches.
Louis Johnson, Assistant Secre-
tary of War, invited the civilian
advisers to seek flaws and omis-
sions in the plans and asked them
to study also the records of the
1918 War Industries Board headed
by Bernard Baruch. They were
urged specifically to look for pos
slble "bottlenecks" in the supply of
arms, food and fuel and in trans
portation, in the light of their ex-
perience in peacetime industry.
The advisory group, in the event
OF war, would form a war resources
administration. Mr.. Stettinius or a
successor as chairman would be-
come a virtual industrial czar with
the power of life or death over an
industry by means of priority"
In the World War a recalcitrant
plant found itself without raw ma
terials or unable to fill orders when
denied priority order by Mr..
Baruch.
The new board was assigned
offices and staff at the War De-
partment. Members will work with
slight, gray-haired Col. Harry K.
Rutherford, ordnance officer in
charge OF industrial mobilization
plans.

Defense Of Thanksgiving
Called Holy Cause

PLYMOUTH. Mass, Aug. 21.-The
Rev. Carl Knudsen, Plymouth minis
ter, says President Roosevelt's pro-
posal to advance Thanksgiving a
week has shown that men who
have not attended a THANKSGIVING
service for 20 years are surprisingly
alert to defend religious cause"
Preaching here yesterday in the
home of the first Thanksgiving, the
Rev. Mr.. Knudsen opined that
President Roosevelt, true to his
better spiritual self" would attend a
Thanksgiving service on November
80, despite his plan to move up the
holiday.
Opposing the change himself, the
pastor said as a result of the pro-
posal thousands have been stirred
from their spiritual lethargy to de-
fend what they suddenly realized is
sacred institution"
&C. 1t is possible that multitudes
who have long ago forgotten the
primary meaning of the day will
