FROM BETHLEHEM TO CALVARY
From Bethlehem to Calvary the Saviour’s journey lay;
Doubt, unbelief, scorn, fear and hate beset Him day by day,
But in His heart He bore God’s love that brightened all the way.
O’er the Judaean hills He walked, serene and brave of soul,
Seeking the beaten paths of men, touching and making whole,
Dying at last for love of man, on Calvary’s darkened knoll.
He went with patient step and slow, as one who scatters seed;
Like a fierce hunger in His heart He felt the world’s great need,
And the negations Moses gave He changed to loving deed.
From Bethlehem to Calvary the world still follows on.
Even as the halt and blind of old along His path were drawn;
Through Calvary’s clouds they seek the light that led Him to the
dawn.

The Sports Front
With Smoky
By Howard
“Smoky”
Molden
With the 1948 Olympics just a
hop, skip and a jump away, all
eyes are focused on London. With
the war over and a good number
of the old “stand bys back it
should be the biggest U. S. track
years since fellows like Owens,
Metcalfe and Woodruff. If events
follow the current pattern Negro
athletes will be in the majority.
Some of the lads who will be in
there busting the tape for Uncle
Sam are: Herb McKenley of Illi
nois, best for the 400 meter, Frank
Dixon is a threat for the mile,
Harrison Dillard, National A.A.U.
Champ will be in there trying
for honors in the 60 yard hurdles,
then there is Mai Whitfield,
Anchor Man of the Ohio Relay
Team that is a hot middle dist
ancer. These and many more of
these lads will be in th^re burn
ing up the cinders for Uncle when
the Olympics get under way this
season.
Treated Better Here
Than in Stales
Consequently, the Negro players
on the Montreal team find them
selves 3,000 miles from home and
being accorded better treatment
here than they have ever experi
enced from their own country
men. In the States, for instance,
they can only count on a small
minority of the public for moral
support. But here in Panama
they have the unswerving back
ing of the majority. They can
count on the newspapers, the
radio and all the other mediums
responsible for the development
of public opinion to give them a
“square deal.” In the States, they
cannot expect a favorable re
sponse from any particular source
except, of course, the Negro press.
In most instances, the white press
has been liberal to them in the
States. But they never know
when “the worm will turn.”
