Bearer The Woman Who Gave All (The Literary Service Bureau) Text: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living—St. Mark 12:44. Often Jesus endeavored to show that the spirit which prompted a gift was of greater importance than the gift itself. This is the lesson of the parable concerning the woman who gave two mites, and was commended by Jesus. This woman set an example of unselfishness, of exalted altruism, of joyful sacrifice, and almost in comparable fealty to right princ iples, and though this thing was done publicly, it was done quietly, modestly, and with utmost sim plicity. One is inclined to say, “What a pity that the world will never know her name.” But it is better to be known by deeds of nobility performed in interest of one’s fel lows, than to have an illustrious name and live a life of sordid selfishness and misanthropy. NAMELESS NOBLES by Dr. A. G. Bearer The Woman of Samaria ( The Literary Service Bureau) Text: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, IIow is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which a woman of Samaria? foi the Jews have no dealings with the Samartans—St. Johns— 4:9. Men may differ on the elements of nobility, but all must concede that none can surpass altruism. Simplified, this principle means, “seeking the good of others.” This woman was a sinner—an adultress. Perhaps she was a common wanton. She met Jesus, heard Him, believed Him, then she went back and called her neighbors and carried them to Jesus that they might believe and be blessed. In this age of selfishness it is heartening to read the record of this woman who in her ignorance aml blindness was imprudent and sarcastic and yet became interest ed. humble, and desirous of doing good. Her conduct resultant from her changer attitude was highly commendable. HABITS by A. B. Maim A Dangerous Form of Indepen . dene (The Literary Service Bureau) Intemperance means lack of self-control. It is practiced in more ways than eating too-much and indulging in drink and other such excesses. Over work is a form of intemperance. An individual does not drink or smoke, but he sits in an office sixteen hour a day and depletes his strength. Another loses the early hours of the night and rises in the morning tired and languid. A brain-work drives himself. He will rest his brain. The Avorks hour after after. Sometimes he uses stimulants to force his brain when its lagging tells him he and it need rest. A woman Avorks all day and sews all night. These people Avear out. They become prematurely old. They die pre maturely, too. These are indeed dangerous forms of intemperance. Head WhatOthers Say Editor Omaha Guide: Ornhaa, Nebraska, Dear Editor:— For the past several weeks, I have been noting with interest the wonderful improvement in the Omaha Guide. It seems as though your paper has developed over night into the front rank of news papers throughout the country. I want to congratulate you and as sure you that, with the kind of clean journalism which the Omaha Guide is manifesting, it wil win for you thousands of friends. The people in Omaha should feel proud of the Omaha Guide and its staff who have worked so hard to raise the standard of their pa per. In my humble opinion, the 0 inaha Guide is becoming one of the greatest assets in our comm unity. It is moulding a better sentiment and creating a better feeling between the races, and I feel that if it continues to main tain its attitude and policy it will soon attain the goal that is rightfully theirs. Success is yours, you have won it by merit alone. Very truly yours, Dr. John A. Singleton. John T. Dysart, The Man of The (by John B. Horton, Jr.) John T. Dysart, candidate for District Judge, whose card ap pears iu another part of this pa per, marked with a large “X” has taken this method of famil arizing his name to the voters. So much for the “X”: Mr. Dysart is a graduate of the University of Nebraska with a de gree of LL.B. He has practiced law in Omaha for more than twenty years, and served as president of the Omaha Bar Association in 1922. He was chosen by vote of the Bar in which more than 500 of the law yers participated as one of the nine to be recommended for elec tion by the Bar of this district at the coming election. Mr. Dysart believes that all men are equal before the law, and regardless of creed, race or color, their interests should be given equal consideration, and if elect ed he will see that the rights of all are equally protected. A man who has the courage of his convictions as John Dysart has, most certainly deserves our support, don't you think so? NEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST (by Andrew Stuart) Douglass and Ford We are told in an editorial ap. pearing in the Chicago Defender that this is the 2nd time in the nation’s history that a negro has been placed on the national tick et for vice- president of the Uni ted States. The Honorable Fred erick Douglass was nominated by the equal Rights party in 1872 an the Honorable James W. Ford, nominated by the communist party in 1932. The Chicago De fender further states that there is a striking similarity in the condi tions of those times and today. Mr. Douglass was the product of human slavery and fought as best he could for the emancip ation of his race. Mr. Ford is fighting not only for human e mancipation but for economic justice for all racial groups to ob tain a solution for the world’s struggling mases. Ford has tak en a place unique indeed. A black man appearing in the irony of the world’s worst economic drama. Lieut. Gov. Metcalfe The speech of Lieutenant Gov., Ted Metcalfe, at Grand Island, on July 4th, was indeed a master piece. He stated that-regardless of economic conditions, the spirit of the youths of today is able to conquer and overcome economic Conditions. He further stated that one of the difficulties with many relief and reconstruction programs is that most of the ef forts start at the top and not at the bottom. William Jennings Bryant, in his cross of gold speech, said, “Destroy your cities and towns, but leave your farms and your cities will spring up a gain as though by magic”; “Des troy our farms and the grass will grow on the streets of our cit ies.” Our politics and our gov ernment has been somewhat like the weather everyone talks about it. The time for talk is past and the time for action is here and a public servant who is not respon sive to the will of the people who put him in office, should be de feated regardless of party polit ics. It would be a sad day in our country, when the peoples’ servants are allowed to think, talk and act as the peoples’ mas ters. “Ma.xie Miller Writes” ( The Literary Service Bureau) Maxie Miller: I’m a hard work ing girl 19, and I wants a home. A man ask me to marry him. He’s 45 and haves four ehildrun. And I don’t like childruns. I don’t love him neither, but I wants a home and thinks I could make out. But maybe I could not. Can’t you tell me what to do?—Tired Girl. Tired Girl: Yes, indeed, I can tell you what to do, and, as the old folk used to say, “If you have the sense of a louse,” you will do what I tell you. To marry a man twenty-five years older means a serious risk. Such a marriage does not often end well. But for you, little more than a child your self. to take the responsibility for four children would be suicidal. Then you might have children and there would be two sets of children; and that would mean trouble spelled with capitals. Better go on, continue to work, save your money, go to night school and get some more educ ation ; and after a while you will have opportunity to marry a man nearer your age and with greater chances for happiness. MAXIE MILLER. A BETTER DAY by R. A. Adams ( The Literary Service Bureau) We live amid these trying times Of stress and strain, When seems struggle for Truth and Right Is all in vain, But Truth the victory shall win. And Righteousness shall conquer sin. We’re living in this awful age of sordid greed, When many little care, or naught, for human needs, But comes erelonr, as fitting should, Era of human brotherhood. Hovers, today, o’er all the world, Ominous gloom. And, everywheer seems imminent. Approaching doom; But sombre shadows must give way Unto a brighter, better day. Right is opposed by rampant Wrong, Just everywhere, Yet, it behooves us not to yield Unto despair; But wait the coming of the morn— The better day that shall be born! FEDERAL MONEY PAYS SOUTH CAROLINA “Rebel” VETERAN’S PENSIONS Columbia, S. C. (CNS) South Carolina’s “rebels” who fought bitterly against the Federal Gov ernment and the Union of the States, received $341,000 on June | 30 from the treasury of the gov- I ernment which they risked their lives to split. More than one tenth of the $3,400,000 borrowed by the State of South Carolina through a State bank from the Reconstruction Fi anance Corporation, was used by the State in paying off fifty per cent of the pensions of veterans and the widows of veterans who fought in the War of the Rebel lion against the Federal Govern ment. Pensions for Rebel veterans is paid out of State funds. This ■ year, however, South Carolina was * not able to bear 50 per cent of her responsibility to her confederate | veterans, until the loan was made ] to the State from Government j funds. Never before have confederate j soldiers been paid with money from the United States Treasury for their efforts against the Union I _ For Rent 3 Room Apt.,over Careys Naborhood Grocery; $15. furnished, $12.50 unfurnished, call I Web. 6089 ; ^— Read The Omaha Guide BUEHLER BROS.
