ing and the dead as to have honor for
ones self. They feel that one can Of
fend the dead by doing dishonorable
acts; that they can make them happy
by doing the honorable hard things of
everyday life. They feel that the dead
look down upon US and help US, that
we are never without the pale of their
influence until we do the things which
offend and grieve. Not at all bad
philosophy. We need more thought
about our duty to family. Every tie
which binds the family together makes
for stronger race and better people.
There was never a time when the
idea of reverence for parents and fam
lily ought to be more insisted upon.
The average American youth, both
black and white, feels that he is lord
of creation and beside him there is no
other; after they earn to spell Con-
stantinople and add two rows of fig
ures they are in possession of all the
knowledge in the world. The old folks
are relegated to the rear and the race
starts, hell bent for lection down the
avenue of life. Part of this is due to
the parents and the leaders who do not
attempt to instill right and basic prni-
ciples.
The few years l lived with my
grandfather he had prayer every
morning before breakfast. He thanked
the Lord "that we are neither dead
nor damed," he asked the Lord to
bless all the peoples of the earth, to be
kind to them, to lead them in the
paths of righteousness. There are
thousands Of children in the world
who have never seen their parents nor
grandparents on their knees. Chill
dren may not follow examples, but it
is the duty of the elders to point the
way by example. As a class leader
for more than thirty years I have
heard people say that he showed them
the way to patience and tolerance, he
shared their burdens, but kept their
secrets and every one loved him.
1t matters not in life now 1ar we

Little scraps Of information properly
handled make a mighty store Of knowledge.
Gconrcy Butler. who has handled the
publicity for the British mission and who
is the press representative Of the Foreign
Office in England today explained the need
for strict censorship Of practical nature
over naval and military affairs.
"Germany has twelve men We know

little parish papers which are published IN
England each week From their readings
OF these papers they are able 10 huild up

brought harm TO the military operations
These matters cannot he too carefully CEN

that political and governmental matters are
