Amen. St. Matthew 6:13. The introduction to the Lord's Vayer reciogHizeis and emlphapizes theelationship between God and His creature, man. On this relationship is based man’s right to ask and expect the bleseings asked in the petitions which follow. So, the conclusion is concerned with declaration of the power of God and His ability to do what is request ed. There is in the conclusion, also, expression of the purpose involved and a predicted of universal acknow ledgement of the Heavenly Father of all things which the petition con tains. “Thine is the kingdom, and the power,” means “The rulership of the kingdom of nature is Thine; all ma terial things are Thine; Thou hast power to supply all our needs, there fore we ask and expect these bless ings . ” The answer to these petitions, “Thy kingdom ci^q Thy will be done means the ultimate subjugation of the human will and the human heart, and the willing acceptance of the will of God. This will manifest God’s glory forever—through all the ages. LOOKING BACK By Videta Ish (For The Literary Service Bureau) TAKING MARRIAGE SERIOUSLY In the “bygone days” marriage was a serious thing. It was based on love rather than on exigencies. It was seriously considered by parents and their children. Young people went to the alter with serious faces giving evidence that they sensed the gravity of the situation. They form ed marriage unions with the expect ations and the determination to live together “until death do us part.” And this spirit made marriage more solemn and moe successful. Today, young women talk glibly of marriage as of some social gather ing, or a trip away fom home. They consider expedieneu first of all. A young woman was heard to remark “I am tired; I’m so tired of working hard; I’m going out husband-hunting pretty soon. ” Being reproved for thinking of mariage in such a spirit, she added, “Well, I shall marry for oonvience, that is all'. ” Sad indeed! KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY By R A Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) When comes calamities apace Like fleeting runners in a race. Troubles in myriads appear And heart is filled with dread and fear, These to allay, kneel down and pray. When sorrow hovers like dark clouds, Shuts out the sun, the way enshrouds, As ever deeper grows the ^locyn, And seems now imminent thy doom, To light thy way, kneel down and pray. “ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US” By R A Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) I read the story of the imminent peril of Admerial Byrd’s ship, when | it was almost destroyed amid a ter-! rific storm. In his diary, one of the ' explorers wrote “We ae in danger; ; we are on our knees paying; for now, ! only God can save us. ” 1 hese men were courageous. They skilled and were inured to all kinds 1 wicked as most seamen are. But finding themselves helpless in the ; midst of the storm, unable to cope I with God’s stepm and God’s seas, they cried like Peter, on Genessaret, “Lord, save us or we perish,” and giving G^ the credit, this writer recorded “Our prayers are answeed and we ae saved. So men boast, defy, show contemt, mock and swear, when there is no danger nigh; but when they are“Out ; on the deep where the billows roll high,” and otherwise imperiled they confess their utter helplessness, and call oh God. And He pities and saves, 1 the wonderful God that he is. But ■ it is manifest unfair to God for them i to use the lifet that He gives them, ! waste the opportunties He affords I them, negeot and even maligh Him ! danger. Yet this makes His mag aanimity more forcefully manifest. THE LAST OFFENSIVE Most important af all, during these intervening years, the attitude of America toward lynching has under gonea profound change,Southern ed itors, officials and leaders who were mum or evasive a decade or two back are now openly in favor of drastic ■ [iao aqi i(smo o; uoi^[s;J8o[ jBJopoj Many. Southerners have written books which have dealt scathingly with the evil of lynch law. In Janurary, 1934, the Conference of Southern White Wutnen for the Prevention of Lynchings passed re solutions calling on President Frank lin D. Roosevelt to work with governors to eradi| at America’s disgrace. That this conference really spoke for Southern white worpen is evidenced y its membership of 1,000, 000 white women in 11 Southern states. The Association feels that there is more hope today than ever before for the enactment of a drastic federal anti-lynching law. Nevertheless, the fight will not be an easy one. There is still strong opposition to such a law, particularly from the un constructed South. That the Associ ation does not underestimate this opposition and its resourcefulness is evidenced by its present effort to raise $5,000 to lobby the Costigan Wagner bill through Congress. Clerical work, investigations, trans portation of witnesses, telegrams and telephone calls are expensive but vi tally necessary. The earnest, sincere and enthusiastic supportand cooper ation of far-sighted Negroes and whites is absolutely im|berat^,re if victory ii to be won. MAXIE MILLER WRITES (For The Literary Service Bureau) ANOTHER SAD CASE OF WO MAN’S FAITH AND MAN’S PER IDY—SHOULD MARRY AND GIVE THE CHILD LEGITIMATE STATUS —THEN LET THIS “SON OF A WILD JACKASS” GO—WILL WO MEN NEVER LEARN ? (Fo advice, write to Maxie Miller, care of Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, Kans. For personal reply, send self-address ed stamped envelope.) Maxie Miller: My case is another sad one for you. I am eighteen and I fell in love with a boy of twenty-one I gave awiay to h|ni, and now I am to be a mother. He says he’ll marry me if he must but he hasn’t the con fidence and doesn’t know if the baby is his or not. But I know it is his. I’d like to be independent and tell him to go to h—if he doesn’t want to marry me but I hate to hurt the baby that way. Now, Miss Miller^ tell me what to do.—Anna Jean. Anna Jean. Your case is a sad one but not an unsual one . In fact, such cases are so very common that one wonders why women will ever be such fools. It generally is true that this a woman loves more and clings, while the man loves less and seks to get away. By all means have the man marry you and give the child a na^ne legitimacy. You cannot afford to do less. Do this for the child, thes^ if this boy wants to go, let him go.— Maxie Miller SEEING WHITE By A. B. Mann (For The Laterary Service Bureau, Coroll or y The results of the conditions dis cussed is detrimental to the rights the prosperity, the happiness, and the destiny of the people of both ra cial groups. Because of the un failing law of cause and effect it was inevitable that the biased attitude asd consequent conduca of the Amer ican white man should act as a boom erang and hit the sender. Related and associated as the two races in this country, there could be no escape l'rom such finality. Here is the summary: 1. Hatred. Hatred begets hatred, and hatred s destructive both sub jectively and objectively. The ha tred of the Negro against the white man is the result of the hatred mani fest by the white man towards his darker brother. 2. Less of Faith. The injustice done him by the white man who pro- i leases Ghistrianity tends to weaken the faith of the black man of Am» erican and the people of the darker racis everywhere, in mankind and in God—at least the God of the pre judiced man. 3. Trampling Human faghts. In this particular retributibe justice will not pe/.nit the white man to escape the consequences of his sin. Segre gation denies the white man the privilege of living where he may choose, riding in any coach he may elect to ride in and of entering into marriage with one of his choice, if that choice should be one of the dark er races. In respecting the rights of the colored man they invetably restrict their own rights, to that ex tent. Talking Things Over Mildred J. Bronson “Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged” Judge not. that ye be not judged.” | Have you ever, as you onwardly ! trudged along the road of life, stop- j ped to consider the meaning of this small but mighty phrase? If more of us would stop to measure out thoroughly, the mfea^ning of this phrase, this world would be a better place in which to live. When we critize others do wo stop to think, that maybe the same thing that we are accusing others of doing, or maybe, something a great deal worse, can be said, truthfully, about us ? There is not one person in this world 1 that has not at some time or other in his life, done something that was nat entirely right. Just because you happen to make a mistake, are you to be blamed ifor it for the rest of your life? If a person sips into the lowest ebbs, does he have to stay there is no hope or way for him to repent and lead a clean life? No, not as long! as there are loose-mouthed, no brained ; people, who keeping pushing him back isto the cavern, he is trying so hard to escape from, by talking things that if they were suddenly called up on to prove, could not, or if they were called upon to give a history of their life, would not skip sflme of the in cidents that they had committed. Do you think for one moment, that a person who is trying to do right, will continue, if someone is continual ly reminding him of his past mis takes by throwing them up in front of him, by one mean or another?No, the human constitution is not strong enough. So, is it too much to say that in judging a person, or speaking against a person, one should be very, very careful. This little poem will help to illus trate the point, that is necessary for the old as well as the young to learn “BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY” “In speaking of a person’s faults, PRAY, don’t forget your OWN, Remember those with homes of Glass, should seldom throw a stone: If we have nothing else to do, but talk of those who sin, ’tis better we commence at Home, and from that POINT begin-” “We have no right to judge a man, until he’s fairy tried, Should we not like his company, we Know the World is Wide: Some may have faults, and who has not, the Old as well as Young, I the one HORSE STORE W.

We Accent Relief Orders ■ For Aught we know, we may have know the World is Wide: fifty to their one.” “Then let us all when we begin to] slander friend or foe. Remember the harm, OME WORD. may do, to those we little know: Remember Curses, sometimes, like our Chickens, Roost at Home, Don,t speak of another’s faults, until We have None of Our OWN.” Does this little poem bring out the point? Does' it help you see more clearly what I am trying to impress on your minds? “The Harm One] \V ord” may do to a person that is trying to do right. That one word may help send him back into the gut ter. Would you deep down in your heart, want to be responsible for send -ng a person, that has come out of the undertype life, to try to live a decent life, back into the gutter, as you would call it, just because of] something you happened to say ? No, you wouldn’t. Then let us from the time we read j this column, determine only to say; something about a person that we know will help to lift him up in the eyes of the people, not something that will lower him. Everytime you go to say something about a person,that will be a stumbling block in his path to a clean life, such as “He’s a hundred per cent no good” or “She doesn’t amount to a row of beans,” stop and think what the effect of your saying will have on the indi vidual concerned, think about your self, in the same position, about your mistakes and faults, and about the good that may be in that person. If you know nothing good about a person, rather than throw a stumbling hlock in their path, say nothing. Take this for your motto, hang it on your wall, print it on the table of your heart, and, then live up to it. “There is (much good in the worst of us,• and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us. ” PROSTITUTING A GOOD LAW. Workmen’s compensation laws are designed to do exactly what the name inmplies—compencate workers for injuries received in the course of their employment. So far as administration of the law is concerned, there has been a defi nite tendency to extend its scope to include health, life, accident, old age and unemployment insurance for workers without an increase in pre mium rate to cover the added risk The result is that the entire system is threatened with a • jakdown This was pointed out in a recent address by F- Robertson Jones, Gen eral Manager of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives- As Mr- Jones says, emotional reformers using as their plea “ocial justice, have had the coverage of the com pensation laws extended. Heavy judgements are given in cases which were never intended to J*uil within the scope of workmen’s compensation An unmarried 'man is fatally injur ed and, while dying, is married to some gold digger- It’s a racket pure and simple- Yet in New York she is entitled to compensation until death or remarriage, and in Pennsyl vania to compensation for 300 weeks or until remarriage Such violations of the spirit of the system are definitely harmful to .. iinrunir*^ 1 CRISP, DELICIOUS Healthful You’ve never tasted a more de licious cereal than these crun chy whole wheat flakes, served with cream and sugar.

MONEY IN A NUTSHELL Suppose you own a thousand hous es you wish to sell. Suppose that the standard of vasue in yom- locality is wheat—and that you will trade a house* for 1000 bustels of it Then suppose that there are a thousand persons who wish your houses—but only a hundred of them have any wheat. You’ll ell a hundred houses, have nine houndred left on your hands—and nine hundred people who would like to buy them hare to go without, because they lack the ac cepted medium of exchange. Finally, suppose that it is discov ered that these nine hundred people possess quantities of barley. This barley is likewise a value, in relation to the value of wheat, and the result is that you sell your houses and peo ple obtain lodging. There is the money problem in a nutshell. One reason why itematien al trade is languishing is that millions of peoplee 'mould Ike to buy from other countries are unabie to because they lack the present medium of ex —gold- They $ve in silver standard ountries—and the present low pries of silver, a related to gold has cut their purchasing power to a fraction of former levies The move to remonetize silver ocn sequently is simply a /move to put buying power into hands which now lack it-—and thus send new bload through the sluggish veins of world commerse Alamito • Our extra rich Grade A Milk now contains Vitamin D, intro duced the natural way by feed ing our cows irradiated yeast. 9 Vitamin D builds and repairs bones and teeth and prevents rickets and respiratory infec tion.
