Its amazing how fellow can
get so educated Simnly by read

For instance, last week !
learned that there were 852 city
ordinances, 70 quote an au-
thority on tie subject, City At
torney Ignatius Lester:
All these new ana old ordl-
nances are 8 sign Of expansion
and growth of the city. They
have to be made and enforced as
our population increases.
Dear old Brother Lester!
He is really 2 PAL for giving me
something TO write about, Every
word he spoke was undeniable--

''hoggish" attitude toward rent,
All-in-all, it's an unhealthy
situation. We're not the only
small city afflicted with these
problems but that is no excuse
for liberation.
Too much emphasis is being
placed on the necessity Of Key

NOTES
BY Mrs. Willie Gordon

Solomon the wisest man who has
ever lived received his extraordin-
airy gift of wisdom from God. In
the Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter |.
verse nine, he wrote these words:
THE thing that hath been, it is that
which shall be; and that which is
done is that which shall be done;
and there is no new thing under
the sun" WHAT? No, there is MOTH
ing new under the sum- Many peo-
pie who consider themselves mod
ernistic in their way of living and
thinking will attempt to discredit
this statement made by King Solo
mon Meanwhile, we must not reach
hasty conclusions nor lean to our
own understanding but we must
face facts All of the Scriptures
were written by the inspiration of
the Holy Spirit and Gods word is
infallible So then, what Solomon
states in the foregoing expression
comes from God Himself and is
therefore undeniable.
/ wish to mention two significant
facts of conditions which existed
centuries ago, which today still
cause people much mental anguish
and high blood pressure and other
common ailments. If we poor or
tails would do as our former pastor,
Bishop E. W. Butler, used to say,
collar ourselves" we would cease
worrying and fretting about things
over which we have no control.
God is still on the throne and as
the Bible says, Heaven is His throne
and the earth is His foot stoll, yet
in spite of His omnipotence He con-
descendS to take peculiar interest
in humanity because of His infinite
love for mankind.
It is amusing to hear so many
people running off at the mouth in
excitement over what they own,
their family tree, their literary ach-
ievements and such like, because
