This settlement deserves
special mention since Judge

'Clories OF Forgiveness Topic
AT First Methodist Church

The pastor of the First Metho-
dist Church, J. Paul Touchton, will
preach on the topic ''The Glories of
Forgiveness" Sunday morning at
the regular worship service.
One of the most precious phases
of the gospel message is that men
need not forever 60 around with
the burden of unforgiven sins.
Though it is the win of God that
all men be strong and do that
which is holy in the sight of God
- He still has mercy and CON-
passion.
chrisfian Gospel
Someone wrote long ago about
God HE remembereth our frame,
He knoweth that we are dust" 1t
is q happy thought that the God
who created this universe and who
sustains 1t is also kind and con-
siderate.
It seems often that the universe
is Indifferent. And though sins are
forgiven they have evil results that
cannot be 50 easily erased.
One of the wonders of the Chris
tian gospel Is that even though we
are unworthy it is Gods nature to
forgive our sins and to cleanse us
from al unrighteousness.
Communion Service
After the message on Sunday
morning Mr.. Touchton win admin
lister the holy communion. The
meditation will be an effort to help

At the evening worship service

Some Of these thoughts are ou'
OF harmony with what Jesus &C

coming, he was furious. Paul found
that not only is a busybody a nuis-
ance, but also loafter. He knew
that work was good for the ply
sical as well as the mental health
of the Christian. If the Christian
wants to grow spiritually he should
find a job of some sort. The Sun
day School needs teachers, the
church needs active officers, the
Kingdom of God needs workers,
not loafers. The Christian will find
that he gets more out Of the les
son as teacher, more out of his
church as an officer, more out Of
his profession as a worker. ALI the
great characters of the bible were
workers, Moses, Gideon, David,
Elisha, Paul and even Jesus was
a carpenter. If we want to grow as
Christians we must work.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

run the whole show end they are
never satisfied until they create a
disturbance. The church hasn't
changed much since Paul wrote
that first letter to the Thessalon-
ians.
Paul tells the church 10 live
quietly. In all the Gospel record
there is no account where Jesus
found 1T necessary TO shout. One
wen meaning layman got the idea
that there should be a bit of shout.
ing and stamping to impress his
points. The trained minister has
been told that it might be a good
idea to do ia little shouting when
his argument is weak. When his
message seemed to be begging
time they were returned to sanity.
down;he tried to make up with
noise what he lacked in logic and
faith. Jesus lived quietly and he
spoke with such confidence and
faith that the multitudes followed.
Satan probably smiles when he
can develop a busybody and a but
tinsky in the church. Too many
take pleasure in running other peo-
ple's affairs. They are the people
who set themselves up as judge.
One good lady took it upon her
self to tell her pastor not to ad-
NIT a family whom she did not
like into the church. Later she ad-
vised her pastor not to recommend
this same individual as the super
intendent of the Sunday School.
Disregarding this well meaning
advice, the man and his family
was admitted to the church and
he was made the superintendent.
He proved to be one of the best
the church ever had. This talented
woman could have served the Lord
so much better had she minded
her own affairs.
Christian growth means service
to the Lord and not to Satan. Gen
eral Stratameyer testifying before
a Congressional Committee said of
the communists, "they are liars,
thieves, murderers and saboteurs. "
The busybody fits that description
perfectly. While they were not
known as communists in Paul's
day, they would resort to any
means to further their own ends.
When an individual or a group Of
the same stripe seeks to prevent
others from affiliating with a
church by spreading false reports,
by numbering the character of a
neighbor, and by active sabotage,
they seem to fit into the same pat
tern as the communists. This is
what Paul found and warned a.
gainst such practice.
Work The Solution
Work with our hands has a hera.
peutic value. Our men returning
from the battlefields shell shocked
and crushed with battle fatigue
presented q problem to our doc

chiatrists worked with these men
trying to bring them back to z

St. Paul's Episcopal Church on
the corner of Duval and Eaton
Streets is one of the land marks
of Key West.
Visitors to the city frequently
pause for few minutes to take
pictures of the church and to
enter and admire the beautiful
stained glass windows.
While the present Gothic edifice
was erected in 1914-16 and con-
secrated by Bishop Cameron Mann
on May 9, 1926, the parish was
organized on March 9, 1881 when
a request was made to Bishop
BENJAMIN T. Onderdonk of New
York for mission Priest, and the
Reverend Samson K. Br'Inot cele-
brated the Holy Eucharist on
Christmas Day, 1882.
First Vesfry
st. Pauls parish elected its
first vestry on April 5, 1888, and
in 1888 the construction of coral
rock building was begun on the
property given to the Church by
Mrs. ]. W. C. Fleming
This first church was blown
down by a hurricane in October
1886 and replaced by a frame
building in 1847.
The great fire of 1885 which
destroyed two-thirds of Key West
burned this building to the ground.
II was replaced that same year.
Sixty-three years after the first
church blew down, the hurricane
of October IL, 1909 destroyed this
building.
Only Altar Left
The only thing left intact was
the altar In the North Transept
and it is reported among the
wreckage of the building, the
Cross stood unmoved on the altar
The chimes in the. North Tower,
the first set in the state OF
Florida were installed in 1886.
All but the smallest bell were
salvaged after the 1909 hurricane
and placed in the new church.
The smallest bell, which was
broken, may be seen in the Cloist-
er.
The High Altar in the present
building is made of white marble
imported from Italy. The STAIN
ed glass windows above it depict
St. Paul on Mars Hill, the CRU
cifiction, and st. Paul on Damas-

Growth through useful service.
Col. 3:73-24; 1 Thes. 4:lo-ll; u
Thes. 3:6-l3.
By RALPH ROGERS

Work is one of Gods richest
blessings. During the pioneer days
when our forefathers were laying
the foundation of . great. demo-
cracy, men and women worked.
Without the many technical con-
yeniences of this modern day, the
women did their house work - the
hard way, and also often gave the
men a hand in the fields during
harvest time. The men also labor
ed - without the power of machin-
cry with which they are today
blessed.
With their minds on the work the
industrious souls found no time to
fret and worry about their health,
their neighbor's business, or even
national and international pro-
blems. These things were delegat-
ed to men of integrity and history
proves that they were generally
true to their trust. As a result OF
mems industrious habits, their
clear consciences due to their trust
in God. institutions for the mental
ly disturbed were unheard of be-
cause the cases were few and Tar
between. Today, with scientific and
technical progress man has so
much wasted spare time that ne
becomes disturbed, frustrated, and
finally mentally deranged and our
institutions are overcrowded.
Good Council
Paul found a disturbed condition
in Colossae. His letter pointed out
clearly and emphatically the trou-
BILE. The loafers were causing all
the trouble. While he emphasized
the need for work, that work
should be in service to the Lord
and not to please men. Of course
Paul was speaking about the sla-
very question and he knew the life
of a slave was almost unbearable,
one of dreary drudgery. His advice
was for the whole of the church
when he said, "work heartily" 1t
is also applicable to the church to-
day.
It is unfortunate that some
choose the wrong master to serve.
Some deluded folk seem unaware
that they are serving Satan instead
of the Lord.
When that deluded member sits
in the pew and seeks to find flaws
in the sermon because 1.-THE shoe
fits" and then broadcasts the fact
that the preacher is handing out
digs can really sabotage religion.
Those are the ones who are serv-
ing Satan rather than the Lord.
Who can sit and read the best OF
sermons, say the sermon on the
Mount, without finding that It ap-
plies even to the best of US? Ser
vice to the Lord is possibly only
when we apply those truths to our
own life and correct our own faults.
Growth is pronounced when we
seek the truth and radiate it In our
service to the Lord.

Red Gold Arrives In US. Through Payment by Britain

WASHINGTON, LR - Senator Humphrey O-Minn) said today he would not be surprised if we had some Moscow gold in Ft. Knox right now"
 He said in an interview that Moscow recently shipped 160 million dollars worth of gold to Britain to buy pounds and that London subsequently, made a 168 million dollar payment in gold to the United States on it's 1946 loan.
 The Minnesotan, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said the shipment of gold from Russia was one in dication that the Soviets have been turning their strategy from violence to economic and propa- ganda warfare.
 Other signs, he said, were neg citations of trade pacts with more than 20 nations, including sev- eral in the west, and gestures such as the release of some prisoners and recent holiday expressions of good will.
 "The Russians have at least the second largest gold reserve in the world and this deal shows they are willing to use it to serve the ends of their new campaign" !" Humphrey said.
