FEBRUARY BIRTH MONTH
OF EMINENT AMERICANS
February is the birth month
of many eminent Americans.
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.
