HOW ABOUT IT, HENRY?
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.

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.
