INTEREST RATES TO BE LOW

Interest rates are matter of concern
to all those who borrow money. There are
many citizens of Key West who owe money
and many others who would like to borrow
some of it.
Hence, we call attention to the con-
tinuing flow of gold into the United States
from foreign countries. This country is al
ready swamped with excess yellow metal,
which it buries in the ground. We have no
use for the vast stocks of gold that are
showered upon u.s.
AS result of this and other factors
the bank deposits of the nation continue to
rise and financial institutions are loaded
down with excess cash. They hardly know
where to invest their funds
The old idea that great volumes of
gold and large amounts of money on de-
post would result in rising prices and
great prosperity have long since exploded
but it is worth noting that as a result of
the present plethora of money the pros
poets are that interest rates will continue
to be much lower than in the decade that
ushered in the greatest crash that the
United States ever experienced.

Sunday School Lesson

go into a church building or a
beautiful cathedral and desecrate
that building. Even the lowest
down and-outer has respect for
such buildings and yet many
there are who seemingly have no
conjunction against defiling
their bodies, in which the spirit
of God dwellS. James Bartlett
Virgins, poet, says:
Cherish your body, for God
made it great:
It has a Guest of might and high
estate;
Keep the shrine noble, handsome,
high and whole.
For in it lives Gods work, a king
ly SOUL.
Gerrit Virkuyl, in Scripture
Memory Work, expresses the
thought of the sanctity of the
body thus: 1T would be a shame
to hurt this handiwork of God in
any way. 1t would be a most
wicked sin to abuse and weaken
its powers. Instead, it is Gods
plan that We should work to-
gether with him in keeping it
strong and clean. This building
was planned to be Gods temple,
and no greater honor can come
| to it than that the Spirit of God
dwells there, and out of the body
we worship the Lord in the
beauty of holiness.
| If we would strive to hold our
Lives sacred, we will have to fol-
low Paurs injunction to live sep
arated" lives. This does not mean
that we should hold ourselves
aloof from our fellowmen, but it
does mean that we must refrain
from doing those things which
we know are harmful to our
bodies and which keep us from
the closest communion with God.
The Christian should not refuse
to associate with sinners, but
should use the influence of his
clean life to separate the sinner
from his sin.

But if the former governor is OF -.

A man running for public office
wants all the votes he can get. and

the greater the cordially with which
they are received. But Mr.. Willkic
