I THINK THAT GOD IS PROUD
dedicated to Mrs. Jean Stevenson and Miss Virginia Fields
I think that God is proud of those who bear
A sorrow bravely. Proud indeed of them
Who walk straight through the dark to find Him there.
And kneel in faith to touch His garment’s hem.
Oh, proud of them who lift their heads to shake
The tears away from eyes that have grown dim:
Who tighten quivering lips, and turn to take
The only road they find that leads to Him.
How proud.He must be of them. He who knows
All sorrow, and how hard grief is to bear.
I think He sees them coming, and He goes
With outstretched arms and hands to meet them there.
And with a look—a touch on hand or head—
Each finds his hurt heart strangely comforted.
—Grace Noll Crowell
THE FINE ARTS
Give us more lovers of beauty,
More lovers of gardens, and we
Shall lessen our need for our cannon
And ironclad ships of the sea.
Give us more lovers of music,
More lovers of pictures and books,
And we’ll fill the world with good neighbors
And dwindle the number of crooks.
For hatred and malice and scheming
And envy and cunning and greed.
And all that makes crime a temptation
Are not in an art lover’s creed.
Who gives his attention to beauty,
Who cherishes laughter and song.
And is thrilled by the glory of planets.
Not often another will wrong.
In gardens, in childhood, in painting,
In music are safety and peace.
So give us more lovers of beauty
That hatred and quarrels may cease!

WDL Joins Demonstration
Against Peonage of Puerto Ricans
CHICAGO— (WDL) — The
Workers Defense League joined a
picket demonstration in front of
the Castle Barton employment
agency in the loop, protesting
conditions of peonage imposed
upon 40 Puerto Rican workers
brought here under contract.
No legal action can be taken
against the agency, since the
Puerto Ricans’ gross pay is in ac
cordance with the contract. How
ever, after deductions, the work
ers have almost no money left.
One of them for the week ending
October 6 had only 37c left out
of his $33.10 paycheck after de
ductions for “m iscellaneous
items,” “bond” covering substand
ard room and board and transpor
tation, tax and social security tax.
The pickets sought a 51-hour
week with a day off for the wo
men, most of whom are working
as domestics, and improved con
ditions for the men, who are
working in various Chicago
plants.
