Dear Editor: One of the objec
tives of the Lincoln Urban league
from the date of its organization
has been the improvement of the
economic status of Negroes by
employer contacts accepting em
ploye and employer applications,
making referrals and vocational
guidance. This service, like all
efforts of the Urban league, is
given without any fee or charge.
This policy has been and always
will be followed by the execu
tive secretary and all other mem
bers of the staff.

THEME—The Clash With Religi
ous Authority. Mark 11:27—
12:44.
From Popularity to Condem
nation. On Palm Sunday Jesus
was the most popular Person in
Jerusalem. Men would follow him
and die for him, if he would but
give the word. The tide of popu
larity ebbs, however, as quickly
as it flows, and in four days the
same people who were crying
“Hosanna” are shouting “Crucify
him, crucify him,” and as we read,
“their voices prevailed.”
No one can live long without
observing many instances of this
tragedy of popularity, the hero of
one year forgotten the next, the
applause fading into indifference,
the popular judgment swayed by
the changing wind of gossip or
scandal or self-interest. Popularity
ebbs and flows like the tide.
How, then, does Jesus meet the
shifting breezes of popularity? He
seems' to be absolutely uncon
cerned about them. He does not
know or care how the wind
blows. On Palm Sunday, while
the shouts of the people are about
him, he stands as if alone on the
Mount of Olives and, looking
over the valley to Jerusalem,
weeps for the sorrows of the city;
and on the following Thursday,
when the people are crying
“Crucify him,” again he does not
seem to hear them, but goes his
way, undisturbed as he was be
fore, unflattered, peaceful in
blame as in praise, and standing
before Pilate as a criminal, says
to him, “I am a king.” That is the
first teaching of Jesus as he ap
proaches this last week of his
life.
We live in a time of extraordi
nary publicity. Gossip, scandal,
praise, and blame beset every life,
and many people are tempted to
watch for applause or for cen
sure as tho they were tests of suc
cess. Even in our sports we talk
of supportingjplayers by organized
noise, as tho one could not even
play a game at his best without
dependence on applause. Yet in
our time, as always, there is but
one kind of man, who in the end
wins a worthy victory. It is the
man who depends neither on
praise nor blame. He leads his life
instead of following it. There is
but one commendation which he
desires—that of his own con
science—Francis Greenwood Pea
body, in Mornings in the College
Chapel.
What a Little Kindergartener
Knew. A visitor sat watching the
children in a kindergarten in New
York when a little 4 year old,
evidently thinking the visitor had
nothing to do, slipped out of her
chair, went to a shelf where there
were some Bibles, and taking one
carried it to the visitor saying,
“This is our Father’s letter, and
in it he says, ‘Little children, love
one another.’ ”

Lincoln Monday, May 9. As usual
1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes will be
awarded to winners in the clean
up division, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd
prizes to those yards judged as
showing the greatest improvement
in beautification. In addition 3
honorable mentions will be
awarded in each division.

Negro population and will be
helpful in a proposed effort to
provide better housing opportu
