JONES) Isaiah is the next book according to the Jewish arrangement, and re , ports the prophet’s utterance on * great variety of occasions. Isaia) was the son of Amoz, and prophesiec about Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, anc l Hezekiah. He is believed to be of tht I tribe of Judah, and is called tht greatest of the Old Testamenl prophets. The condition of Jerusalen and Judah, in the time of this pro phecy can easily be compared witf 1 the world’s condition today. Thus ht : offers as a remedy, ‘“True Worship.’ Let us notice ;(1) An amendet lire God’s requirement (16, 20 ver ses.) Though the nation had griev ously sinned their case was not hope less. God’s pardoning mercy reaches to the cloud. In order to enjoy tnai mercy there must be (a) cleansing “Wash you, make you clean.” tht i washing of water symbolized th« cleansing by the blood of the son oi God. (b) “Put away your evil do I ing." There can be no cleansing | hile continuing to sin, 2 Cor. 6:17 ■) “Cease to do evil.” Genuine re^ pent ance cause one to desist fron he practice of habitual sin. As statec by a certain Sunday school girl on* inie, that repentance is hating 3ir ad enough to quit it. (d) “Learn tc Jo well.” One can only cease to dc I evil by learning to do well. Rom 12:20, 21, (e) “Seek judgment.’ This means that one must not only be upright himself, but should gc against the wrong-doing of others Luke 14:25, 28. (f) Encouragement to come to God. ’’Come now let us • eason together” verse 18. , Though their guilt was great, and the judg ment which befall them was awful 'Tod’s pardoning and cleansing grace were sufficient. ’’Where sin did a. bound, grace did much more abound.’ Rom. 5:20. (g) Conditional promise (v. 19) “If ye be willing, and obedi ent, yet shall eat the good of the Lamb.” This means that they should only enjoy good on God’s terms, (h) A solemn warning (v. 20) “If ye re fuse and rebel, etc. Rebellion against God always bring ruin and regrets to an individual, home, church or ration. May the Lord seal these few thoughts to your hearts( is my prayer. WEEKLY SHORT SERMON ON Herod, the .Merciless, Malicious Murder By Dr. A. G. Bearer—the Literary Service Bureau Text: Ar.d he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. —St. Mat. 14:10. According to criminal law, murder is killing an individual with “malice aforethought,” andt in the case of Herod, there was certainly malice. Herod hated John the Baptist be cause he had condemned his imor ality with his incestuous marriage to his brother Phillip’s wife. The killing was merciless, because John wa8 given no opportunity for defense of any kind. Judging by universal standards of criminology, Herod was indeed a murderer—a merciless, mal icious murderer. Two things stand out prominently. One ig the dangerous influence of a lustful, wicked woman. Second is the cumulative force of sin. Lust led to covetousness, covetousness to adultery, and adultery to murder— the grossest crime in the catalogue. Third, an oath to commit a wrong should be repudiated rather than kept—that it is more creditable to break an oath to do wrong than to keep it and commit a crime. All who are tempted would do well to con sider the fate of Herod the merci less, malicious murderer of John the Baptist. N AMELESS NOBLES by DR. A. G. BEARER (The Literary Service Bureau) *The HUMBLE PUBLICAN Text: And the publican, standing afar off, wuld not life up so much as bis eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast> saying. God be merciful ■o me a sinner.—St. Luke 18:13. Better that this man should not be known by name but by his chief char acteristic, humility. In this he i* an example, an illustration and a pattern for all classes and all ages. The life of this man of unenviable repute but nobility of heart and err. inenee of spirit ig a rebuke to all re ligious bigots. And his simple meth od of winning Divine favor has been a stimulating influence through all ag ‘S. From this life and the recognition recorded it by Jesus and the Gospel writers it is anparent that nameless nobility is always preferable to boast ing bigotry. That the former is sub jectively and objectively more bene ficial and helpful. — 0-0 By Harold Biddieux 0-0 Miss Juanita Jones of 2715 Lake Street, gave a card party for her birthday. She was fiiteen years old i July 27th. Foui teen girls and boys were present. The prize for the girls was won by Marian Macklin, a white summer purse. The prize for the boys was won by Harold Thomas, 1 a woven brown and white belt. The two lowest were Loive Wallace and John Bennett, each given a stick of peppermint candy. The party was : continued with the playing of games. They played post-office, scorn, in the well and spin the bottle, all of these having kissing in them. Ice cream, cake and candies were served. ;> — Ah! Ha! a new indoor baseball team has sprung up from nowhere and oh boy, what a team. Angelo Merriweather is the coach. The j players are Raymond Richardson, Johnny Woods, Junior Longmeyer, James Breedlove, Allwin Collier, and Harold Biddieux. There are still a few to be chosen. They are practic ing Friday. ' Ah, ha! Tarzan of the Apes says i Allwin Collier as he swings off a ■ bam in the back yard of an empty ■ house. He an<l some others tied a | fifty yard rope to the second highest branch of a tree, then tied a knot at the bottom of the rope big enough for one foot, then they swung off the barn. Oh, the fun. Herman and David Stevens of 231fi North 27th St., left Omaha for Iowa for several days. We hope they have a good time. THE STAB CLUB HOUSE The Star club house is in the back of kid brown house. Before you go into the club house we have a bricK along the side, leading up to the door. Then you unlock the door and go in you find seats south and a window. It has sand on the floor, the sand is just like a rug. james McAlister. Stories (Little Jean Terrell) Once there was a little boy who always kept his room dirty. One day he got a letter and threw it in his room and went swimming. When they were in the pool a boy said, are you invited to Mary's party? No he said. He was very sad because hte cou’.c! not go. When time came to go to the party, boys and girls were pass ing by. The boy wso was not in vited was sitting on the porch, when a little boy came by and asked, J Why are you not going to Mary’s party ? The boy said I am not in vited, so, he went in the house and said, I just as well clean my room. I When he started cleaning he found the letter he had put in his room and it was an invitation to Mary's par ty. It was just time for him to get dressed and go. So he got ready and went to the party and had a good time. He was never careless about | his room again. **** Miss Squirrel had a store, her store was in a hollow tree, she w^as selling nuts for one cake. Along came a big bear. He said, I want some cake. Miss Squirrel said six nuts for one cake. I want cakes for nothing said the bear and he gob bled them up four times. So Miss Squirrel told her little ones to get some sand and thorns. She then made cakes out of the sand and ‘horns. The bear came back and said want some more cakes. Miss' Squirrel said I wouldn't eat them so ! the bear got scarred and went out for more nuts. So he eat the cake made of sand and thorns and soon he was dead. Once there was a little boy who did not like to eat carrots. His name was -Jack. One day his mother had carrots for dinner. Jack always wanted ice cream, but did not want to eat the carrots. His mother beg ged him to eat them but he would not. So she offered Jack a nickel to eat them. Jack sat at the table for an hour thinking, finally he 3aid I will eat the carrots and they were so good that every time he had his dinner he asked for carrots. **** Once upon a time there was a lit tle boy, his name was Bob. He was U years old and did not know how to swim. The park pools had not opened and his' mother had often told him not to swim in the lake for it was dangerous as some lakes had sand bottoms. Some little boys were going to the lake and begged Bob to go along. So Bob disobeyed his •"other and went to the lake. As he wandered in the lake he stepped in a sand hole, he screamed and cried for help. A man was in a row boat and went to help him. Bob was al most dead when the man got to shore but the man knew what to do for drowning people so he was soon able to be taken home. He was still frightened and never disobeyed his ; mother again. Tom had a little red cart, he , wanted his grandmothe to see it. His 1 mother gave him an apple and some cookies which he put into his cart and went to see his brandmother. Soon Tom met a pig. Good morning, said Tom. Little pig said Wee, wee. I want some cookies. No, said Tom. they are for my grandmother. Come | with me and she will give you some i dinner. So little pig went along and i they met a white hen. Good morning i said Tom. Cluck, cluck, said white hen. I want some cookies. No said Tom, they are for my grandmother Come along with us said Tom and Wihite Hen went with them. When they got there, grandmother gave them a big dinner and they all wen I home. Once there was a little girl whose name was Polly. She got an invita tion to a party. The little girl told Polly not to tell anyone because she could not invite everyone and they would feel bad. Polly’s mother said you can not go unless the dress, maker can make you a dress. Sc Polly took the goods and went to the : dressmaker. When she entered the , dressmaker said. I hope you are not going to ask me to make you a dress. Polly' said, that’s Just what T came for. Polly explained about the narty and the dressmaker said all right she would have it ready for the party. So everyone liked Polly’s dresg at the party and she always wanted to wear this dress. “Ma^xie Miller W rites” NO FOOL, LIKE AN OLD FOOL WOMAN OF 50 WOULD MARRY MAN OF 25 Man has Better Sense—but the Woman! Shame on You Mother! (For advice, write to Maxie Milier, care of Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kan. For personal reply send self-addressed stamped envelope.) (The Literary Service Bureau) Maxie Miletr: Don’t l’idicule me. for this is a serious thing. I am a widow, 50 years old; I never loved be fore, and the man in the case is 25; you will say, young enough to be my son! Well, yes; but I love him, any way. He came to be a roomer at my house and I learned to love him. He says he’ll marry me if I insist, but he is afraid because I'm so jealous and can’t bear to see him with other women, especially girls. I don’t know what to do. It would kill me to lose him. Tell me what is best, but don’t tell me to give him up.— —Widow X. Widow X: Well you have chosen a splendid nom de plume. “Ex” means out, and surely you are out cf your senses. Don’t ridicule ? Ridicule is too mild for you. You need a “cussin” for being such a fool. Make love to a man; the man half your age, ask him to marry you; it is ashame. This man is just grateful and will ing to sacrifice himself out of grati ture. If you are so infernally jealous now, what would you be if you were his wife? Give up this fool notion; it means destruction. Let this young man go his way and find a woman nearer his age and be happy. If you are idle, get some work; become in terested in some charitable or social welfare work and get your mind on a ■safe track. Do this or prove your self a fool and wreck the life of this simple, grateful young man. MAXIE MILLER. Read WhatOthers Say, Gold Seal Creamery Co., 79th and Cass Street, Omaha, Nebr. Dear Sir: I want you to know the colored citizens of Omaha highly appreciate the fair consideration you have given ; them. You have shown nothing but fairness, and it is more considera tion than has been received from the j organizations they have supported for any number of years. We hope each man proves success ful, and if there is one who perhaps does not meet jyour requirements, we hope that you will not judge all by this one, as the good, bad, and indifferent are found in all, regard less of race; and one is likely to choose wrong here and there. You can easily apply to some of the older citizens for recommen dation of another, but I am quite sure the young men whom you have chosen as representatives of your ; company wlil prove successful in • every way. The right kind of man wants co do as he has agreed; he wants to be fair, honest, upright, and show his appreciation by doing his. work t well at all times, and we feel we can supply you with the kind of men that you are in need. I am sure by your manifestation you mean to be fair by giving them the proper em ployment in proportion to the sup port they give you. I am sure your trade will ineiease more and more; for 1 have found no business that deals fair and square with every man, not to succeed, j This body of people greatly ap pr?ciate considerations of this kind, for 96 per cent of the business make them “the last to be hired, and the first to be fired.” They are depend able, trusty and fair; and I am sure | you realize the same as I, the mote intelligence one has. the better equip, ped he is to prepare himself for the necessities of life regardless of race; the more comfortable he can make his surroundings; and the more de. sirious he can fit himself for the situation. If every business would give each man as fair chance as you have given, there wmuld be do dis crimination as to employment, cr business transactions; no confusions or ill feelings, but every one made happy; not speaking from a social standpoint, for that is not to be con sidered. We again thank you for your deep, hearty consideration, and I hope you will pardon me for monopolizing vour precious time. Thanking you for whatever future i consideration you may give to a i worthy body of people, I am, Respectfuly yours; G. B. LENNOX, M. D. Dr. G. B. Lennox, ittU2Vz North 24th Street, Omaha, Nebr.

Book TRevuew “TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS IN SING SING” By Warden Lewis E. Lawes (Ray Long & Richard R. Smith, Inc. New York City) ***** “To Those Tens of Thousands of my former Wards who have Justified my Faith in Human Nature”, is the manner by which Warden Lawes, of Sing Sing Prison, dedicates, this most interesting book that combines pen ology, sociology, biography, human I nature and human interest sketches i of both prisoners and free people, in | to a most entertaining and convinc i ing volume. We l«arni by reading the book, that W'arden Lawes commenced his prison administration experience in March 1905 as a guard at Clinton Prison and rose rapidly in various branches of prison administration in several New j York prisons until December 1919 when Governor Smith appointed him warden of Sing Sing, which position has brought him international at tention. »» * * :k * * The book not only gives us the de tails of the myriad prison adminis tration experiences under Warden Lawes’ regime but it also chronicles a very interesting history of both the old and new Sing Sing Prison, com mencing with the spring of 1825, ; when a hundred trusty prisoners from \ Auburn, under the supervision of Oapitan Elam Lynds, trekked to the banks of the Hudson River, where the first operations on the building of Sing Sing commenced, j The author, very convincingly, points out many inequalities in the enforcement and administration of the law; many erroneous methods of handling law-violators, etc., and for each, a very definite and construct ive method of handling is suggested. | ***** —Clifford C. Mitchell. THESE HUSBANDS OF OURS by MADAM “X” Disparaging Wives (Next Week “Some Wives and Others” by Mr. “X”) (The Literary Service Bureau ) A neighbor of mine has a queer kind of a husband. He does not hesi-; tate to criticize her and disparage her. You will hear him say, “My wife ain’t much of a cook; yet she is generally in good order.” “My wife can’t do this,” “I wish my wife could do as well as your wife;” are some of his usual expressions. Even if his wife is short of some things, (as she surely is) that is no reason why he should parade her weakness es. He should encourage her, rather. No doubt this parader of his wife’s faults would get “as mad as the dev il,” if she should treat him so. But men are funny things anyway. SINGING FOOLISHNESSS ✓ By R. A. Adams—the Literary Serv ice Bureau Again attention is called to this matter of singing meaningless jar. gon, especially in church worship. Much of such foolishness is heard even in our best churches, Hear: “Ain’t but one train on this track Runs right to heaven and runs right back. “Mary had a golden chain Every link spelled Jesus name. Looked around me, looked so fine Asked my Lord if all this was mine.” This unmitigated foolishness is sung with the refrain, ‘‘Long as I can feel the spirit Moving in my heart I will pray,” and is a thing o fdoubtful moaning itself. “I wonder if the lighthouse will shine on me” is sung as refrain with: “I heard the voice of Jesus say Come unto me and rest,” but there is no connection whatever. True the second verse does read, “I heard the voice of Jesus say I am this dark world’3 light;” ! but the light is in the lighthouse and l it is well known that the lighthouse shines on nobody. More than this, what consolation or help can come from wondering? Folly consummate | folly should be discouraged. HEALTH j "INTS... — Health is more than luck and pro gress is more than chance. Both re ! suit from the following definite well j organized laws. One man succeeds ; another fails in the cases there is a | reason. If you won’t fail—drift into ; it, if you want poor health let “luck" bring it to you. Success in business and in health must be earned. With l these thoughts in mind note the fol lowing from the pen of Dr. Geo. Par ish- /. A little study will show that all the men and women we call lucky or successful have spent all their day* at the heart-breaking task of chang ing ugly dismal failures into admir able| shining models of success. For i years and years Bulwer Lytton fought with London publishers to get his novels printed. He failed many tim | e& but in the end the publishers couldn't get enough of his stuff. Wanamaker started in business carry j ing a pack of merchandise on his back from door to door. Only thirty years ago the world's most famous I automobile manufacturer was making 1 a precarious living in a bicycle shop; a millionaire hotel owner was hop ping bells; a great steal magnate was stoking a blast furnace, and a rail, road president, was pounding a tele graph key. Everyone of them start ed out with “luck” against them. Their lives had been a series of uns and downs, but like a rubber ball, the harder they were thrown down, the higher they rose. They lived clean, decent lives, mentally, morally, and physically. One does not go without the other. Each knew that good Health was his greatest asset. “It is up to us to take our choice We can be lobsters if we wish. With a little more nerve and effort in the face of difficulty, discouragement and the temptation to remain supine ly on the racks we can be victorious and prove our rights to be classified as a real man. Old Epictetus had the right idea when he said “Diffi culties are the things that show what men are.” In case of difficulty, re member that God, like a gymnastic trainer, has pitted you against a rough antagonist, in order that you may be a real conqueror, but not without toil. We all can have and enjoy health and happiness if we will but strive for it and in doing so —do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.” HOUSEHOLD HINTS By Modern Priscilla Art and Study Club To keep the cook stove looking bright always wipe thoroughly with a newspaper after cooking each meal and while the stove is still hot The newspaper absorbs the grease. Do not leave rakes, broken glass, boards containing nails, or any sharp objects around where children have to play. Always keep bottles containing poisonous drugs on high shelves or in locked cabinets where there is chil dren in the home. As a personal precaution have bottles carefully la beled “poison.” Care should be taken that label is always red before tak ng the contents of the bottle. n*I ARE YOU CRITICAL ABOUT YOUR LAUNDRY WORK? of Course You Are.
