that permitted portion of US to
rise still higher through the found
ing Of these United Sates-if this
is cowardice, I'm guilty.
Naturally, I'm proud of our town
and our country. I'm anxious to
see both grow. But prosperity
must never be allowed to be our
dominant aim.
Space is short. Let me end this
column with another quotation
one from an outstanding English
author and critic-Havelock Ellis
and his 1.-THE Task of Social Hy-
giene.":
Prosperity and civilization are
far from being synonymous terms.
The working community that is
suddenly glutted by afflux Of
wealth and wages is in exactly the
same position as the savage who
is suddenly enabled to fill himself
with rich mass of decaying blub-
Der. 1t is prosperity, it is not
civilization.

What price Freedomi Redeemed

All men love to be free and at

purpose that we might share with
others the joys of this rich herit-
age that is ours that we may the
more effectively serve Him who
gave Himself that we might know
God.

1.-The Meaning Of Liberty" Is Sermon Topic

1.-The Meaning of Liberty will
be the topic for the sermon to be
given at the First Presbyterian
Church tomorrow morning.
Liberty stems from Christian
principles. This is strongly sug-
gested by the Apostle Paul in his
letter to the Galatians. Though
Paul speaks of freedom from
ritual and dogma there is also the
suggestion made that a person is
free only as he finds freedom of
conscience and action.
independence Day
This sermon on Liberty is in re-
cognition of our National Independ.
ence Day. We have an opportuni-
ty, in observing July 4th, to rethink
some of the great teachings of the
past, and to meet again some great
figures of American history.
George Washington, the Father of
our Country, implemented the De-
claration of Independence by ac-
ton. 1t is just as important that
we implement the suggestion of
Scripture by our action.
At the evening worship hour the
study in the Epistle to the Hebrews
will be continued.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

iod in his life. He no doubt had
been told about the prophets of old
the great kings, the captivity and
exile of his forbears. This enabled
him to converse with the doctors
intelligently.
Then too we find that Jesus was
familiar with the Old Testament.
He used it continually in tempta-
ton, conflict and suffering. 1t is
significant that successful lawyers
often use scripture in pleading
their cases. The word of God is
final and convincing. Scholars
have tried in vain to link that ex-
ceptional knowledge which Jesus
displayed to the Rabbinical schools
or to special training in the esoter.
lc wisdom of the Essences. How
ever no proof can be found that he
had such training and his perfect
knowledge was based wholly on the
Old Testament and the training he
received in his home.
Then too, he knew human nature,
its itteness and greatness, the lit
tleneSs that dwarfS the human
soul and the greatness that polish
es the soul into a cleaning dia-
mond. He could read human
character with unerring and swift
glance. In the bounty of nature
he could draw lessons of inestim-
able worth, from the trees, flowers.
the birds and the sheep. But the
thing that impressed his listeners
most was his intimacy and certain
ty when he spoke of his Father.
The story is told of Jim Farley.

died when he was ten years old.
He went to work from $3.50 in the
morning until eleven as a machine

than dollar a day. He says, 81

Church Plans
July Revival

For over fifty years the Method,
ISL Church has been working to
bring good news of salvation to the
Cubans in Key West.
On June Z, 1875, the Rev. J. w.
Van Duzer died of yellow fever.
He was the first missionary ap.
pointed by the church to preach to
the CubanS and his last words be.
fore ne closed his eyes to this
world were, Don't give I'D the
Cuban mission"
Since then many native Cubans
and American ministers have con.
tlnued to carry on the work initia-
ted by that Christian young man
OF 22 years, who gave his life for
Christ.
Hard Struggle
1t is long history of hard work
and sacrifice, and many deaconess-
es, teachers, social workers and
ministers have served faithfully
through the Methodist Seminary
the Wesley House, La Trinidad
Methodist Church, Ell Salvador
Methodist Church, Woman's Club,
Mothers Club, Boy Scouts and
Girl Scouts.
A large number of families have
benefited from the good leadership
and preaching of men and women
of God whose lives, examples and
sacrifices contributed to the well
fare and happiness of the people
of Key West.
Now it is time to appreciate what
has been done unselfishly by those
consecrated servants of God.
Revival Slated
During the month of July Ell Sal
vador Methodist Church is going
to have a revival campaign by the
pastor, the Rev. Manuel Figueroa,
and he cordially invites the people
of Key West to participate in this
campaign.
Tomorrow will mark the begin
ming of the revival, highlighted by
the celebration of Holy Commun-
ion.
Prayer services, home visitation,
special evangelistic preaching in
Spanish, special music and singing
of hymns will be carried on.

1t is estimated that in our country the police come
in contact with about million boys and girls each
year on charges of delinquency. Since census figures
show there will be u.s. more children between 10 and
Hyears of age in 1860 than in 1850 expected that
the delinquents will increase to over 100000

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

I've been asked to comment on

Ralph Waldo Emerson in his
journal" once said: 81 hate quo
tations. Tell me what you know. "
However, he also wrote:"-
tation is good only when the writer
whom l follow goes my way, and
being better mounted than l, gives
me a cast"
Now, journaliStically speaking
Mr.. Emerson is mounted on an
emperor'S chariot and I'm plodding
along on a donkey. / don't think
he will mind therefore, if l repeat
his words on "Civilization''-
The true test of civilization is
not the census, nor the size of
cities, nor the crops-no, but the
kind of man the country turns
out"
Are we concentrating on this
idea enough here in Key West?
Oh, l know, we brag that we
have Fairgrounds and parks. fine
schools, good churches, etc. for
the upbringing of children So
what do we do?
We counterfeit these good things
with horrid examples on our own
part that can be likeneI more to
saveragery than to civilization!

Instead, we believe in constant

How then. can you expect the

an old copy of the scriptures from
which he read to the youngster

perhaps attended the elementary
school at the synagogue. He per-
hapS ran errands for his mother,
played with bits of wood in the
carpenter shop, watched the yeast
make the dough rise, and his moth
er sewing patches on worn clothes.
He watched the shepherds, the
sower sowing seed, wine poured in
to bottles, lamps cleaned and re-
plenished with oil, the grinding of
corn at the mill, the baking of
bread and many other things. All
of this gave him the foundation for

CITY COMMISSION ACTS WISELY 10
ELIMINATE PESTS IN GARBAGE DUMP

Key West has made another step, exceedingly i'm
portant one in going modern and this time the credit
Is due to the Monroe County AntiMosquito Commission
the City Commission and City Manager Victor Lang.
Nobody questions the fact that anything that pro-
tecs city health is of primary Importance
And the main thing in attaining that objective is good
sanitation That is what Key West is going get in
the treatment of it's garbage, result of agreement
made by the commissioners at their meeting Monday
night, with the local anti-mosquito organization.
Heretofore, trash and garbage at the city dump had
been burned, attempts had been made burn it.
Is easy enough to burn rash but is altogether diff
feren matter in burning garbage Some of it will be con-
sumed, but will remain in good enough state for
flies, rats and other pests to feed on.
But it will be different now. w. w. Warner, director
of the Monroe County AnMosquito Association assured
the commissioners that his organization will eliminate all
garbage pits and the necessity of burning garbage by
erng up every night refuse brought to the dump daily
Under the covering the garbage will be beyond the reach
of rats to eat and flies to eat and breed in
The cost to the city in having that work done is
parativey low Of every dollar spent the state will put up
additional rs cents.
But the abatement of the fyand-rat nuisance not
the only benefit the city will receive from its agreement
with the antmosquto organization Warner asserts that
from three to five of land will be filled in annually
in the dump area.
Residents at Sigsbee Park have often complained
of flies that had been bred dump Those complaints
will now for there place for flies to breed
Sigsbee Park The flies at the park flew there or were
blown there from the dump.
Handling of the dump will add to the effectua
work the antmosqutao organization has been doing in
Key West AS The Citizen remarked recently every resi-
dent knows best about the presence absence of
qutoes in the immediate vicinity of his home But far
The Citizen has heard mosquitoes fewer in Key
West this summer than they have been before.
