Dr. Craig Morris of St- Phillips Church brought the message at the afternoon service- Dr- Morris gave many valuable thoughts for those who are trying to live a Christian life- He said that religion consists in living a life rather than trying to keep a set of Rules- He made it very plain that a Christian should always try to help rather than furnish, and anytime one can show mercy by re leaving human suffering, he should do so. The Christian Kfe should be such that the one who is not a Christ ian could see the beauty in living such a life to the extent that he would be anxious to become a Christ ian.

Little is accomplished without an objective—a goal. In this text Paul speaks of the “mark,’* the objective. He declared” I press;” meaning I put forth effort, I strive; I contend; I urge myself forward toward the mark. The inoentive was the “prize.” This is a good New Year’s resolu tion; and Paul’s life was a good illus tration of perseverance—of pressing. This is a good lesson for the New Year. Have a goal. Have an objective as the old folk used to say, “Git your meg sot.” With some, the goal for this year will be greater material accumulations; with others greater store of knowledge; but the most worthy goal will be human helpful ness- A good wording would be,” In efforts to help others, to brighten other lives, I press toward the mark —for the prize. The prize will be ex pansion of our own natures and in crease of human happiness. Tag—Maxie Miller Writes (For The Literary Service Bureau) Husband neglects and “other man” enter in—wife still love husband, re pents and confesses—wife has done no more than almost every married man does—let husband swallow his medicine as penalty for neglect_ only sensible thing to do Note: For advice, write to Max ie Miller, care Literary Service Bu reau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply send postage. Maxie Miller. Maxie Miller: My home is about wrecked and I’m about crazy. I think I can save the home if I can find courage to do what I think I ought to do. I am a professional man and I neglected my wife like the husband in “Madam X”. She warned me that my neglect and her loneliness might bring serious results, but I had much faith that I laughed at her. It hap pened. In a weak moment she yielded to another man. She is sorry; she confessed; she says she does not love this man; she still love me; and she swears she will go straight- I still love my wife and believe she will do all she promises, but I hate like hell to know another man has shared what I believed to be mine only. What would you do, Maxie Miller, were you a man? Poor Mike Poor Mike: You are not so poor after all, You have an honest wife and should be thankful. The average wife woud have said nothing and you’d been none the wiser. This tells you she is far above the average and a prize worth holding on to- You con fess you neglected and that you are responsible, to that extent. Now, swallow your medicine and profit by the experience. This matter of “shar ing” seems so serious, but it is gen erally believed that few men come to the marriage altar without having know a woman—and perhaps few in deed live their live out true to their marriage vows. Forgive her? Yes! Perhaps you’d not find another as good and as honest in a thousand years. You are rich, Mike! Maxie Miller. OPPORTUNITY By R. A- Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) Who says that Opportunity Knocks only once, at every door, And, if neglected, angrily, Will turn away to come no more. Speaks falsely! More the truth to say, The oft denied, and turned away, It comes each day the whole life thru, To every door, and knocks, anew. “There is a tide in men’s affairs,” That should be taken at the flow, But flase the dictum that declares, And erring who pretends to know That, if neglected, even then. The tide will never rise again; For, oft resurgent as the 3ea. Is tide of human destiny! “There is but once to every man” Is gross, unfounded fallacy! That once, and only once be can Lay hold of opportunity I Is arrant lie! With every morn, I With every new day that is born. Comes Opportunity, and cries-: “If you would win, awake! Arise!” NEW TEAR AND NEW OPPOR TUNITIES By R. A. Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) Turning in thought from the old year to the new one lost ushered in, entitled “Opportunity.” Mr. Ingall’s” I «tt> reminded of a poem written bj J. J. Ingalls, a Kansas senator, and Opportunity” is a cruel, heartless. exacting, in exorabie thing- The i ooem begins.” Master of human de stinies am I " There is the assert) >n, I knoc k uabid icn, onee, at every door;” and there oomes the caution." If sleeping, wake; if fating, rise;" and “This is the hour of fate.* This; heartless thing ends with oru-el. fat alistic manifests: “Those who doubt or hesitate, Ccmdermod to fslaves penury and! woe, Seek me in vain, and uselessly im plore; I answer Dot, and I return no more.” In refutation of this theory of “Once to every man.” the writer sub mits the poem which precedes this article and in which “Opportunity" is a more generous, merciful, hu mane thing— and a more reasonable thing. Yes, the New Year oomes to us laden with many golden oppor tunities- Let us utilise them! P°OSFVFLTS VAI.FT FETED FDR EFFTRTS # V Washington.

Washington was recently eseented at the District Jail for murdering a taxi driver. A NEW YEARS’ DREAM In the quiet of the iving room, I sat listening to a New Year's pro gram. Eddie Cantor was speaking of the birth of 1&34, and suggested call ing the infant “The New Deal ” He assured Uncle Sam, a much distress ed father, that everything would come out alright, that the prospect ive mother, Stars and Stripes, was being attended by the world’s great est physician, Franklin D- Roosevelt, who ranks in ability with George Washington. and Dr. Abraham Lincoln, that the physician would save both mother and child. Deeply impressed by this program, and thinking of what the future would biting jus, I wrapped the draperies of my couch about me, and lay down to pleasant dreams, long er’e the whistle had ushered in the new year, and such pleasant dreams they were, variegated forms trans porting the dreamer into a perfect Utopia of radical cooperation, eco nomic recovery, racial business— ad vances and success, general prosperi ty and racial political solidarity, and its attendant results. Wheels of industry were again running full force; men were going to and fro from work, whistling, laughing and talking, walking with a measured tread of confidence, hail ing a neighbor with a merry hello, the hollow eyed, gaunt look having deserted their faces, replaced by mer riment, happiness and contentment; four years of want, poverty, and misery having made each more con cerned about his neighbors welfare; each constantly on the alert to direct a friend to a job, work and independ ence; wives with babies in their arms, joyfully waiting at the gate for the home-coming of the happy, smiling father, happiness, contentment, and love abounding on all sides radiating ] new breath, new life, new hope and new charm, with the ushering in of \ a “New Deal.” Racial lousiness enterprises were moving at a clip hardly conceivable. Our grocers were serving the many thousands of our people in a most capable manner, through cooperative buying, they were meeting all com petition as to prices, quantity and quality, services were courteous, de livery prompt, stock was plentiful, stores crowded with customers, tele-1 phones ringing, and orders coming into virtually behives of activities. Our drugs stores were enjoying a healthful and profitable activity. Pharmacists were busy filling pres criptions, clerks smilingly, helping waiting customers; telephone orders were coming in, and delivery boys promptly taking out the orders- The Dean of our Drug Stores was hold ing a three way conversation on the telephone, with the two younger business men; thusly: "Boys there is plenty of business in Omaha for three of us, we have to pull together There is no room for petty jealousy. Our doctors are crowded with work, and are looking to us to hold up our end. Are we ready? (Coming hack over the phone I hear the point answ er) "This is a new day and a new deal, Let’s go ” Farther on I found the professional . men of the city in a group meeting, comes such phrases from Doctors, Dwntists, Lawyers and Ministers, as inauguration of movements for racial patronage in all lines of endeavor. Doctors solidly backing racial drug enterprises. Dentists and Doctors pledging a healthy and happy Com munity; Lawyers advising the re clamation of mortgaged property, and mentioning the Beal Estate buying wave; Ministers beaming and jubilant over a happy, healthy and religious Community, following their guidance to a closer and a more co» centrated effort toward mutual racial | cooperation and patronage Various shops are busy and happy, attendants are busily and smilingly serving their customers A new shuffle and a new deal has taken place at the City Hall, Court House and State Capitol- Persons to whom we were wont to see and greet socially with a “good morning." w» may now greet in these places with a cheery “good morning " Their num ber had increased appreciably, like wise responsibility has increased. Baliffs. clerks, inspectors, juvenile officers, assistant prosecutors, wel fare and domestic relations attaches. State Representatives and many oth er appointees attest our place in the sun. • There is in the air a spirit of gen eral understanding politically The various leaders are advocating con tinued solidarity, pointing with pride at general success and recognition thus far. I hear a general exclama tion, “One for all and all for one!” “Let us make the most of this New Bay and New Deal.” Living in the Utopia of dreams was as thrilling as the tales of Aladdin. when as children we placed ourselves side by side, with the characters, actually living the stones. Dream though this is, day dream or otherwise, its realization in such measures, as possible, would change our fair city into a virtue Eden Subscribe For The Guide Youthful Strength Dr. Magnus Hirechfeld, the world-known authority on Sexology and Director of the Institute for Sexual Science of Berlin, Germany created TITUS-PEARLS to help the millions of men and women who have lost or are losing their vital physical power.
