We will discover that all of us are a >meting of a critic and disbeliever None ta perfect end tee all err.j Too many Christiana criticise end condemn ia other* the very sins they themselves practice. Let us not be hypocrites If it had not been for saving grace of Jeeua Christ we would still be living in envy and malice much aa the Cretans were when Titus ministered to them Aristotle described gentleness as the indulgent consideration of hu man infirmities ” We should not in dulge or approve infirmlties but we should be gentle and kindly when we see them in others. Jesus taught that we ahould re turn good for evil. Peter's first let ter (I Peter 2 9) says of the Mat ter, "Who, when he was reviled, reviled not agan; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that Judgeth rigid eously.” Dr. J. B. Twreter tells of a Chinese gentleman who tested thia rule. A neighbor seized from him a plot of ground for a vegeta ble garden He could have hailed him before the court and had him punished by taw. Instead he drew up a legal document and gave the ground to the neighbor Thia neigh bar had been a secret leader of the communist* and when they over ran the country the same neighbor was mad* a district lead er. This Chinese gentleman was a government official and would have been first on the death list, but be was not molested The word had been pasted along that he was a righteous man and was not to be harmed On* of the doctrines taught by Paul was that men are not saved by anything they do themselves No amount of good works will save a man Salvation is the gift of God; it ia not earned by men. We are rleansed. made new and given the promise of eternal life by thr power jf God's Holy Spirit. That dove not mean that we do not need to behave like Christians in a non Christian world If we believe in God we will maintain good works Paul was skeptical of the fact! •ns quarrelsome man Such a man “ia perverted, and sinneth. bring •elf condemned .” He will fight and squabble with everybody. He will run the church, or else' lie will en gage tn “foolish questionings, and geneologies. and strifes, and fight ings about the law.” Men are not won to Jesus Christ by the factious squabblers in the church, but by the example of reasonable, charitable and kindly folk who love all man kind Paul knew the devil operated in Crete where he saw the native* divided among themselves, each contending he was right, where men repeated every malicious ru mar without bothering to find out whether or not H was the truth The conditions portrayed in Crete should be timely council even in our own community.

Pearlman Makes Contribution To Local Construction Scene BY JO ILLIN KILLtR C. B S. Construction Company Key Wests fastest growing general contracting organisation, was foun ded ia ilfti upon the retirement of Joe Pearlman from the merrhan diaing field ia which he had been prominent for over 40 years Pearlman had a life long interest in the building of homes, not so much from the brick and muriar aspect aa from tn# pleasure in seeing a home grow from the blueprint stage throughout each phase until it wee completed, a family living in it. and the whole home a part of the community. I It was his desire to aid in build ing much needed homes for the community in the years following World War II that induced Peart man to go into partnership with Robert 8. Gardner to form g cor pnratkm known as C. B 8. Con straction Company in 1461. j The demand for these homes plunged the new construction com pany into large scale building al most immediately. Th* firm grew rapidly aa it filled the need for homes in th* nine to fourteen thousand dollar bracket. CBS of fers • blanket service to home buyers by providing them with architectural and financial coon selling which are more than an advisory service as blueprints are supplied, and financial arrange i ments handled, Because of the quantity of homes under construction. CBS is able to offer many features usually found onlv in much higher priced dwell ings. The corporation has developed tracts of former swampland in Key West into residential areas of beauty and distinction These areas arc solidly filled in and offer as good a foundation for a bomeaite as can be found. In selecting some floor plans from the many architectural draf tings. Pearlman chose those that combined comfort, efficiency and spacious effects. Many of the hou , sc* have jalousted porches which are used as “Florida Rooms” to link the home with th* out-of-doors “We do not build bousrv to sell." said Pearlman Hi pointing out the individualism characteristic of each home. **We build them to order . . to the specifications of each own er." A variety of fine materials pro vides a wide choice for future home makers to select from, CBS specializes in moderately priced hornet, particularly for thp VA and FHA groups.
