SCRIPTURE: I Peter Daniel7 1
DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm H 1
A Call to Right Living
- Lesson for November 9 1947
OUNDAY’5 lesson is based on the
First Epistle of Peter and the
first chapter of Daniel It is a tem-
perance lesson It is suggested that
we read the 24th
Psalm in which we
find this question
Who shall ascend
into the hill of the
Lord? And the an-
swer He that hath
clean hands and a
pure heart
Peter gives us the
spiritual basis of
temperance Daniel
gives us a shining
Newton ' example of temper-
ance And the 24th
Psalm gives us a dramatic concept
of what it means to face God in
the right attitude of life
How to Grow Strong
OUR doctors tell us how to grow
strong sound bodies We are
to eat the right food sleep regu-
larly breathe deeply etc etc Dan-
iel did all of these things and some-
thing more— “Daniel purposed in his
heart that he’ would not defile' him-
self with the portion of the king’s
wine which he drank therefore hd
requested of the prince of the eu-
nuchs that he might not defile him-
self’’ Daniel 1:8
Daniel was challenged by the
prince of the eunuchs He predict-
ed that Daniel and his companions
would become pale and weak if they
refrained from eating the king’s
neat and drinking the king’s wine
Finally he agreed for them to
refrain from meat and wine for
ten days and at the end of the
ten days behold Daniel and his
companions appeared fairer and
fatter than those who had eaten
intemperately
Every Youth Must Choose
AS DANIEL chose to grow strong
through temperate habits of
eating and drinking so must every
youth choose between right living
and lustful living We have laws
against drunkenness for example
but legislation alone cannot produce
a generation of temperate young
men and women Each boy and
each girl must choose for himself
and herself between temperance
and intemperance
And this lesson sets out the
ways by which such choices can
be made and sustained I find a
helpful word in I Corinthians 10:
31: “Whether therefore ye eat
or drink or whatsoever you do
do all to the glory of Godw
As we make the choice between
drunkenness and sobriety let us re-
member that we are choosing be-
tween God and Satan— between the
example of honorable parents and
the example of people who have des-
ecrated every sanctity This lesson
is a call to right living
Disciplined Lifts
WHICH calls into mind a word
that we have not always treat-
ed fairly I am thinking of the word
“discipline" Too often we have
regarded this word as something
very austere when as a matter of
fact it is one of the really fine
words of our language It means
“one taught’’ It is the word which
with slight difference in spelling
gives us “disciple”
The immediate followers of
Jesus were called disciples They
were young men gathered up
from the everyday pursuits of life
Most of them were fishermen—
men who faced hardships every
night as they confronted wind and
wave And yet these rough and
tumble fishermen became “the
taught" ones of Jesus They yield-
ed to his discipline They were
pupils in the school of Christ
That is what this lesson is aimini
at— to enlist many many pupils ii
the school of Christ
Till Tist of Tim
MAKE this test in your commu-
nity whether you live in the
city or in the country Look at the
lives of the men and women about
you and draw you£ own conclu-
sions regarding the worth of tem-
perate living Study the lives of the
drunkards against the lives of the
men and women who have refrained
from strong drink Study the lives
of the gamblers and see if they have
really won
I appeal to the verdict of his-
tory— the test of time Not only
In the ease of Daniel but in the
lives of the men and women in
every community in America is
daily borne out the truth of Sun-
day's lesson— that God giveth us
richly all things to enjoy but we
must use his gifts with disciplined
minds

NEW PALEFACE HUNTING GROUNDS In the exotic tropical
setting of Key Biscayne once an Indian hunting and fishing ground
pleasure-bent palefaces now find easy hunting in their quest for rest
relaxation and recreation
STEEPED IN HISTORY
Old Indian Stomping Ground
Becomes New Vacation Gem
WNU Features
MIAMI FLA— Where centuries ago Tequesta Indians fished
and hunted palefaces today seek sun tans ’midst the luxury of
loafing under coconut palm trees on a tropic isle of idyllic
contentment This newest Gulf Streamland vacation gem is pro-
vided in Dade county’s new 11 million dollar Crandon park on
Key Biscayne a scant 10-minute drive from downtown Miami via
the equally new six million dollar Rickenbacker causeway
Both park and four-mile span?
from the Miami mainland to the
ocean via Virginia Key and Key
Biscayne will be formally opened
November 9 10 and 11 with the
Tequesta festival The celebration is
named for the Tequesta Indians
who were the first known residents
of the area now called Miami
The out-of-this-world setting of
this naturally exotic public play-
ground studded with more than 10-
000 coconut palm trees part of a
once extensive copra plantation
stretches volumes into the past Its
two-mile expanse of reef-protected
ocean bathing beach for centuries
heard only the lush swish of palm
fronds and surf or the scream of
sea birds
Ponee de Leon first tourist to
discover the extra something
south Florida offers in climate
and sunshine is believed to have
stopped off at Key Biscayne in
1513 after a brief halt at the
mouth of St John’s river at pres-
ent Jacksonville History shows
that after exploring that area
he sailed southward along the
Florida east coast tarrying at
St Augustine then continuing
to an island he named Santa
Marta
South Florida authorities after
an extensive study of coast surveys
along the Dade county coast are in-
clined to believe the Santa Marta
discovered by Ponce de Leon was
named Cayo Biscaino or Key Bis-
cayne now site of the new park
Just 400 years ago Key Biscayne
figured prominently when the Span-
ish explorer Escalante de Fonten-
ada recorded the presence there of
the Tequesta Indian tribe
Fontenada was the lone surviving
crew member of a galleon wrecked
off Key Biscayne Captured by the
Tequestas part of the Colusa feder-
ation he was held in slavery for
many years but was allowed to
roam at will within the territory
ruled over by the Tequestas Long
a disciple of Ponce de Leon he
transversed the length and width of
Key Biscayne time and again in
an attempt to emulate his prede-
cessor's quest for health and ever-
lasting youth
There's no known record com-
plete with skull and cross bones
of buried treasure on romantic
Key Biscayne although pieces
of eight or pirate doubloons may
be hidden beneath the golden
sands where cover girts and
their bronzed escorts today ab-
sorb their vitamins from the
sky Regardless of the mystery
(or lack) of buried treasure
there’s pleasure trove for all
lucky toilers on the two million
square feet of super bathing
beach at Crandon park
Black Caesar notorious marauder
of the Florida Keys operated in this
vicinity This doughty highwayman
of the waves frequently hid his
plunder ship behind wooded isles
such as Key Biscayne to stalk un-
wary merchantmen en route to Ha-
vana Spain’s Queen City of the An-
tilles Perhaps some of Black
Caesar’s ill-gained loot now moul-
ders near the southern end of the
island!
Another linking of Key Biscayne
to the “Florida that was" is the old
Miniature Fleet Contains
NEW YORK - A boyhood hobby
has enabled August Crabtree to ac-
cumulate an entire fleet of ships all
miniatures carved to scale and
equipped to the most minute detail
Built by Crabtree over the last
20 years the collection of 14 ships
includes an Egyptian galley of 1500
B C a Roman ship that once plied
the Mediterranean a sailing ship of
William the Conqueror’s time Col-
umbus’ flagshio the Santa Maria
Cape Florida lighthouse A land-
mark in the keys this lofty hurri-
cane defier was built in 1826 Un-
friendly marauding Indians set fire
to the structure in the same cen-
tury killed one Negro slave wound-
ed the white lighthouse keeper The
tower for many years erroneously
known as “Old Spanish Light” was
abandoned in 1876 but it still stands
a monument to the past — a ?0th
century beacon to modern counter-
parts of Ponce de Leon
Yes Key Biscayne site of Cran-
don park is truly an island packed
with pleasure trove — a recreation-
al treasure chest laden with rich
prizes of nature for Dade county
residents and their visitors
Nation in Bloom
As Flower Week
Observance Set
The entire nation is “in bloom”
this week for the third annual ob-
servance of National Flower Week
Sponsored by the Society of Ameri-
can Florists National FJower Week
is planned as a tribute to the beauty
and happiness brought into every-
day lives by flowers Throughout
the week unusual facts and infor-
mation on flowers will be dissemi-
nated to the public
Because of the abundance of flow-
ers during the early part of Novem-
ber the entire nation will be con-
verted into a fall flower festival
Florist shops and greenhouses will
hold open houses featuring special
display of flowers and plants
Typical of the marked strides
made in floriculture are develop-
ment of double varieties of many
flowers and cross-pollination Con-
tinuous research is being accom-
plished in all phases of floriculture
In the scientific field hydroponics
a system whereby flowers are
grown in chemical solutions with-
out soil required 75 years of study
and experimentation
Keeping the industry attuned with
the times shipments ' by air tele-
graph deliveries and new methods
of packaging and preserving flow-
ers have been developed as means
of prolonging the public's pleasure
from flowers
