Some one has been unkind enough to suggest that Henry Ford’s “conversion” is due to the fact that he realized it would be extremely costly for him to fight his suit with Sa piro and the alleged powerful boycott of the Jews against Ford cars. Well it takes a powerful argument sometimes to convert a man. If Ford is really converted, whatever be the motivating cause, it is a real gain for humanity. How about it, Henry? WANTS LOWDEN Governor McMullen has led a pilgrimage to Illinois to be seech Ex-Governor Lowden to become a candidate for the re publican nomination for presi dent. Lowden has discreetly said that no man has ever been known to refuse the presi dency. Complete the syllogism: No nun has ever been known to refuse the presidency; I, Frank Lowden, am a man; therefore, I will not refuse the presidency (provided it is ten dered.) But our good friend, Adam McMullen, need not have jour neyed so far for a candidate, when we have such fine presi dential timber in Nebraska. Why not get behind The Mon itor’s choice for president, Walter W. Head, of Nebraska? Come on, Adam, stand up for Nebraska! A DISPLAY OF LOW BREEDING Those who have the best in terests of their country at heart cannot but sincerely regret that some white Americans are so blind and stupid that they cannot realize that their racial prejudice, which they manifest abroad, as well as at home, is a serious reflection upon them selves and their country. Re cently a company of thirty white Americans indignantly left the dining room of a French hotel when a guide es corted a company of fifteen cultured black Americans, chiefly physicians, headed by Dr. Wilberforce Williams of Chicago, into the dining room. It can well be believed that the comment of the foreign guests upon the conduct of the “in sulted” white Americans was anything but complimentary. Their action was a vulgar dis play of low breeding which in jured them much more than it did their swarthy fellow coun trymen. TRAVELERS The large number of Amer icans of color who are visiting Europe each succeeding year, most of them people of com parative wealth and culture, will have a most salutary ef fect upon public opinion there. It brings helpful contact and acquaintance which shows how indefensible America’s attitude towards this class of her citi zens is. Travel broadens the traveler and brings under standing. AMERICAN WHITES ARE “INSULTED” WHEN THE DOCTORS USE HOTEL — Paris, France—When Dr. Wilber force Williams and his party of doc tors entered the dining room of Hotel Degerman at Rheims, France, fifteen strong, a party of white American tourists, numbering about 30, object ed to their presence. The manage ment attempted to get the white guide, Delahaye, to take the colored doctors to another hotel across the way, but he refused, and finally the white Americans rose in a body and left the dining room. This section of France, which is in the neighborhood of Chateau Thierry, is thick with white Americans. Several other guests in the dining room wer amazed at the conduct of the white Americans. Helps to a Reliqious Life Sixth Sunday After Trinity —July 24th, 1927 A Prayer 0 God, Who has prepared for those who love Thee such good things as pass man’s understanding; pour into our hearts such love toward Thee, that we, loving Thee above all things, may obtain Thy promises which ex ceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Think on the»e thing*: Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God and know eth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God to ward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. . . . If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God Whom he hath not seen? And this commandment we have from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 1 St. John iv. 7-12; 20-21. The teaching of this beautiful prayer is plain. God, our loving Father, has bountifully provided for all His children good things. “Good er," to adopt the expressive compara tive of little children, than we can imagine. These good things are es pecially prepared for those who love Him. Those who do not love Him, cannot appreciate them, hence can not obtain them. Then comes the pe tition for the pouring in of His love into our hearts that loving Him we may obtain His promises. Love for Him must be the supreme passion of our lives. Love’s secrets are known only to love. The things which pass man’s understanding are revealed to man’s affections, even as a mother’s love cannot be compassed by the imagi nation, but is only known to experi ence. We can obtain His promises by liv ing the life of love. This life must be made manifest in our relationship with our fellowmen. He that loveth not his brother, and this means man kind, not merely those of one’s fam ily, race or nation, but mankind, can not love God, and therefore cannot obtain those good things which pass man's understanding. The way of life is the way of God’s command ments; and the way of God’s com mandments is the only way of life. Thi* commandment we have from Him: “Thou (halt love thy neighbor, a* thyself.” We must be sure of our i love towards man before we can be ! confident of our love towards God. Are not too many of us under the delusion, the vain, soul-damning, character-blighting delusion that we can love God and hate our brother? Isn’t this the real trouble with the world today? Is this your attitude, not in words, maybe—but in senti ment and in act? How about it? Come clean. PLEASE PAY Many subscribers are now long past due.
