Why the matter of the color Ut men's
skins should 80 often find place IN Tia,
paper named is difficult to understand
especially as such illusions don't always
result in personal satisfaction to the
writers thereof.
Ia this days issue Of the idrerfiseI

paper Of high pretrnsiuus should speal,
in terms of derision or depreciation OF

OF are declared to be "scrupulf u ,ly
honest and liberal by nature gentle
and kindly. Their morals are an i'm
provement on those of most white PEG
pie. Sexual impfoprieties are almost
unheard of amongst them"
OF one the world wots of, Phillips

but which God hates, keep alive in oul
peoples hearts the old iniquity. it is moi
dead" That any, even Internationally
should use the great opportunities AT
forded by the press for purposes othei
than good, is negotiable. Describing
men as "niggers" inlu es them not. W,
cannot hurt the blacklist of men, TIA,
handiwork of the Lord God Almighty
by such means, but we scar and sean
our own souls. As the teat Kings of tn,

And whirl uron the wheel, and hug and kiss
Its spokes OF agony.
Its tire of tears, It's nave of nothingness,
Behold show you truth, Lower than hell
Higher than heaven, outside the outmost star
Farther than Brihm doth dwell.
Before beginning, and without an end,
As space eternal and rs surety sure,

Only It's laws endure.

In dark soil and silence of the seeds

Though Dharma tarry long.
Such is the Law, which moves to right

The heart of it Is love, the end Of 1t
Is peace and consummahon sweet Obey
The Books say well my brothers. each man
The outcome of his former living is;

Enter the Path! There is no prier like Hate
No pains like passions, no deceit like sense
Enter the Path! Far hath he gone whose FOO
Treads down one fond offence
Once again let me remark. those tina
claim great superiority should b
among the first to glory in the practic,
of the spirit of the legend HObiesse obiige
How far this spirit is exempliiied IN tn
colums of the Advertiser is not Difficult
to discover.
The lines above quoted are the teach
ings of so called pagan. Let Christ
ians look well to their steps, or man,
will be tempted to utter, "pidetur qHO,
Deus non SIT "
