Among white Americans such names as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Henry W. Longfellow, to mention only a few, come to mind. But, as if to show that there is no Nordic monopoly of brains, greatness or eminence, these names can be matched by those of Frederick Douglass, Absa lom Jones and Richard Allen. All of these in their day and generation wrought noble deeds not only for their par ticular race, but for their coun try, for God and for humanity, and belong to history. ___ THROUGH CHINESE EYES The experience of a Chinese woman, apparently one of cul ture and refinement, in Missis sippi recently, furnishes food for thought. The perplexity which her presence as a rail way passenger in the enlight ened Southland caused is sig nificantly suggestive. Her sar castic words, “Your Christian country is very funny,” speak volumes. “Too bad you have no yellow cars,” is not without point. SHOW RIGHT SPIRIT The boys and girls of the eighth grade graduating class of the Femwood school, Port land, who refused to stand for the exclusion of a member of their class from a skating rink because of his color, showed the i right spirit. The hearty approv al of their action by the Super intendent of Education shows, too, that he is the right man on the job. Those Portland boys and girls in unselfishly forego ing their own pleasure because of an act of injustice to one of their classmates augur well for the type of future citizenship of that community. It meant sac rifice for those children to deny themselves the pleasure of their skating party, but the satisfac tion that comes from doing one’s duty in any crisis and the resul tant strength of character will be ample compensation for the sacrifice made for right. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF— YOU MUST WIN Carry yourself as though you were marching to victory. Make this im pression upon everyone who sees you. Let victory speak out of your eyes with such determination, with such vigorous resolution, that people will know that there is no such thing as discouraging you, because you are victory organized, because you are in the habit of winning. It is this unalterable conviction of ability to do and to be, this firm faith in oneself, that has taken a multitude of poor boys from the backwoods, from the slums, from the shops and factories and offices, and placed them in the state legislature, in con gress, in governors’ chairs, on judges' benches, and in other high offices. _____________ FORESEES RELIGION UNITY In advancing and upholding the j single religion ideal I merely am , championing an ideal propounded by ! many leading theologians of the past and present. There will come a time : when the Protestant, the Jew and the ! Catholic will meet on a common re ligious plane, of that I am convinced, because the ultimate goal of religion is unity, just as truly as is unity the end for which science and art are striving.—Dr. S. Cadraan. LINCOLN NEWS Mrs. Rosa has improved from her recent illness. Messrs. Milton T.
