Starving Man Leaps
From Ferryboat

My name is Fred H. Hood, Flor
ence, Ala. Myself is starving"
These were the words written In a
note found in the band Of hat worn
by a well dressed man who ended
his life by jumping from the Canal
Street ferryboat Halliday at lo:Zo
o'clock last night.
The boat had just left the Algiers
ferry landing when the man leaped
over the stern guards and into the
swirling waters churned by the boats
wheel. The boat was stopped anc
skiffs lowered. Apparently the mar
did not rise to the surface after nj:
plunge.
No one had paid particular atten
ton to the man and the only descrip
ton of him was that he appeared u
be well dressed. His hat alone wa
found and inside it, tucked in tn
band, was the note.
Ferryboat traffic was held up 10
thirty minutes in the futile error
to find the body.

THE HIGHER QUALITIES.

Life, in its entirety, is pretty much
what we make it. God has given us
all the tools to work with-reason,
intellect, free-will and the ability to
know right from wrong. He has
even pointed out to us the road to
follow, so if for any reason we fail
to reach our Heavenly destination
eventually, we have only ourselves to
blame. God can do no more. For
we are free-born men and women, en-
dowed with the privilege of choosing
for ourselves which road we shall or
shall not follow. What could be fair
err?
There are many brilliant people
today who are making a success of
their talents both in their business
and social lives; but many of them
are impoverished spiritually. Their
hearts and souls are dwarfed through
lack of cultivation in the higher quail
tiles of life. These people cannot
realize what wonderful Friend the
Creator can be to those who will re-
ceive Him and welcome Him! Who
will make a confidant of Him in their
joys and troubles. If there is a bur-
den weighing them down and detract-
ing from their happiness in life, God
can assist wonderfully in tightening it,
providing He deems it best to do So.
Or, if it is His wish that they bear
the burden, they can do so manfully,
secure in the thought that it is Gods
wish and that if they bear it in His

JAZZ MUSIC HAS CAUSED THE
DOWNFALL OF MANY GIRLS.

The Illinois Vigilance Association,
through it's superintendent, the Rev.
Philip Yarrow, has issued a prelim-
mary report on immortality in Chica-
go, in which it attributes the downfall
of one thousand girls to the evil in
fuence of jazz music and improper
dancing which it encourages. Like
many other "reformers" of our day,
the Vigilance Association hopes to
abolish the evil by statute, and there
fore proposes crusade through the
Morals Court against such music and
dancing. 1t is but another instance
of trying to make people good by leg
islation, of compelling s'Sanctity by
Statute"
A writer in the Chicago Tribuneyin
agreement with other careful students
of social conditions, recognizes the
fallacy of this method. He goes to
the very heart Of the problem when
he says:
sIn the report of the Association,
there is again evident the now COM
mon tendency to bring ABOUT moral
reform by statute rather than by a
quickening of the moral sense through
precept and example. The report de-
votes hundreds of words to depicting
the terrible ruin wrought by jazz, and
is satisfied with a paragraph suggest
ing that parents, churches and schools
learn of the evil and act against it,
"Not line in the report empha-
sizes the need Of parents teaching
their children the advantages of NOR
atty and high character in them
selves. In the final accounting, the
responsibility does lie with the par
ents. If they teach their children
good morals and clean living, and
provide them with clean interests and
recreations. the jazz dance hall will

IMPROVED CONDITION OF WoM-
AN

The causes that have led to the i'm.
provement of woman's condition
among the Christian nations are, in
general, the same that have developed
our civilization, says Bishop Spalding
Whatever influences have been active
in the abolition of slavery, in secur
ing popular rights, free government
protection for children and the poor
in bringing knowledge within the
reach of all, and thereby spreading
abroad juster and more humane prin,
ciples of conduct, have also wrought
for the welfare of woman; and it is
not necessary to point. out how init
mately all this progress is associated
with the social action of the
Christian religion. The spirit OF
chivalry is the outgrowth of the
Christian ideal of womanhood.
To maintain that Christianity
crushed out 'the feminine element
and, more than all other influences
combined, plunged the world into the
dark ages" is to indulge in kind OF
defamation that, for the past half
century at least, has become impossi
BILE to enlightened minds.
To say that the doctrine of original
sin throws the guilt exclusively OF
chiefly on woman, is merely to affirm
ones ignorance of Christian teaching
st. Ambrose, one of the four great
doctors of the Western Church, de
clares that woman's fault in the orig
inal fall was less than that of man, as
her bearing was beyond question more
generous. And then the Catholic
| Church at least teaches that Mary has
more than made good any wrong that
Eve may have done.
To assert that in the Christian re
| ligion "the godhead is trinity OF
males" is to be at once ignorant and
coarse. God is neither male nor fe
male, as in Christ there is neither
male nor female.
To proclaim that the Christian reli-
gion teaches that woman is an after.
thought in creation, sex crime, mar
riage condition of slavery for wom-
oil ctllu uCul0IlcuL lOI duu
ternity a curse" is to mistake rant
for reason, defamation for argu-
ment. In fact, the advocates of WON
ans rights too often take this false
and therefore offensive tone. They
speak like people who have griev-
ances; and to have a grievance is to
be bore.
They scold; and when women scold,
whether in public or in private, men
may not be able to answer them, but
they grow sullen and cease to be help
full. To be persuasive, woman must
be amiable; and to be strong, she
must speak from loving heart, and
not from a sour mind. Whoever is
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
Christianity must sympathize with all
movements having as their object the
giving to woman the full possession
of her rights. No law that is unjust to
her should exist in Christendom.

blessings for themselves in the world

What sad thing it must be for
one who has lived his lifetime and
who is about to terminate his earth
ly career, to look back along that
winding pathway he has travelled and
to discover when too late that those
things for which he had sold his birth
right were as practically nothing in
comparison with the wonderful bless
ings he had left untouched by the way
