A SHADOW OUR DEFENSE
FROM SHADOWS

fhUM SHADUWS
In the shadow Of thy wings will
axe refuge.-Ps. 57:1.
God protects his children as
the mother bird covers her nest.
High in air the hawks go sail
ing by but they can not reach
the nest; even their shadows
can not fall on it.
Jesus said, 30 Jerusalem,
Jerusalem. how often would I
have gathered thy children to-
gether, even as a hen gathereth
her chickens under her wings
1t is the same figure, conse-
Grated by the Divine lips; and it
teaches us that there is a great
sheltering love which is closer to
us than any evil can ever come.
hiding us securely, not only from
harm, but also from fear.
Here is the peculiar beauty of
the smile. 1t makes a shadow
our defense from shadows.
The only thing that can really
darken the soul is something
coming between it and God; but
that is impossible so long as the
soul remembers his presence
and love.
The troubles and pains Of life
are all outside of that they are
away beyond the protecting
wings. floating by, like little
clouds, like lowering hawks; we
can wait in security until these
"calamities be overpast."
Troubles far off: God very
near. Calamities belong to time,
peace is, part of eternity.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

$50 many people miss happiness
because they do not have the cour-
age to marry the men and women
they really love and desire, but who
are outside of their little narrow So
cial pale. So many men are mis-
cradle in cities who would be happy
in the country, if they only were,
brave enough. to break away from
their desks.
80 many men are wretched fail
ures because they are trying to do
the work nature never intended them
to do, who would be successful and
happy if they were only doing the
kind of work they love to do There
are so many poor preachers who
would be good bricklayers. There
ara so many starving lawyers who
would he boss carpenters. If people
only had the nerve to mount their
hobbies they would ride away to for
tune as we'll as happiness.
Il have been happy because
knew what | wanted and I had the
courage to take it. I wanted the
Iuiet life and so [ left the stage at
the very height Of my career, and
[ have had the courage not only TO
resist all the money temptations thar
have been offered me to go back to
it, but also to turn my back on the
temptations Of society," and to live
the simple life, with my own fam
lily and friends about me, in a little
village. L knew wha, 1 wanted OF
life and [ had the courage to take
it; that's my secret of happiness"
| asked another woman, a WON n
who has had, as we say, a hard
life, yet who wears the smile that
never comes off, what was the secret
Of happiness.
THE determination to be happy &"
she answered, 1.-The fierce determna-
ton that you won't let fate beat you
and crush you; that you won't
drown in your own tears, but that
somehow, some way, you will fight
out of the shadow into the sunshine,
and have your part of the joy of
life.
II have known the heartbreak OF
an unhappy marriage and of being
betrayed by the zone | loved and
trusted. ] have known poverty and
sickness and struggle and anxiety.
but through it all [ never wavered
in my determination to be happy. I
never let myself get morbid or bit
ter or suspicious, and in that way l
took the curse off of my misfortune.
II made a cult of happiness. |

above all, | found out the old,
old truth that happiness lies within
ourselves. No external circumstances
can bring it to us. nobody can give
it to us, nor can anything or any
body rob lis of it if we are just de-
termined to hold onto it. There are
a lot of things in life over which you
have either to laugh or cry. laugh,
and that's my secret Of happiness"
I asked q third woman what was
the secret of happiness.
'Unselfishness, she replied. ''Only
those who never see their own hap

HAP CHILD IS
TRAINING HARD
South Amboy Boxer to Fight
at Police Show on Friday
Night

South Amboy fistic fans are fol-
lowing with interest, the training do
ings of Hap Child, Moe Forgotson's
new boxer, in preparation for his
contest with frankie Fry, of this
city, at the New Brunswick avenue
Auditorium on Friday night. This
bout is one of the four FOUNDERS on
the program prepared by the Police
Social Club for their annual show.
Not since sturdy" O'Leary was
active in the ring, have the cross
river fans had a boxing idol. For
gotson is confident, however, that in
Child, South Amboy will have a new
boxing f~avorite and the cross-river
manager is of the opinion that his
fighter will have an easy time dis
posing of Frank IGNORES boxer.
Matchmaker Frank Seiboth is con-
fident that this contest will be made
of the best on the program. The en-
tire program is made up of an eight,
a six and four f~our-round bouts. In
addition there will be several acts
of entertainment.
The feature bout of the evening
will bring together Carl Morris, of
Carteret, and Billy Murphy, of sta
ten Island. In the semi-final en-
counter, Oswald Schultz will swap
punches with Tiger Nelson. Both of
these men are from this city, but
formerly were from Germany and
Denmark, respectively.

COURT CHANGE
IS RUMORED
Water Street Star May Play
With st. Mary Speedway
Five

During the practice of the Dottas
girls basketball team last night, Ed
"Blackie" Regain, well known local
athlete, was seen in conversation
with Wesley Wilson, manager of the
st. Mary Speedway court combine.
1t was rumored at the conclusion
of the conversation that the speedy
Water street court star, may shortly
don a Speedway uniform. The Speed
way manager, however, was not pre-
pared to make an assertion regard
ing the possibility of acquiring the
services of the dark haired speed
boy.
Possibly Regain could help the
Speedways out of their season open
ing slump. They have dropped three
games in a row now, and have the
strong Sterling Grays carded for the
Lyceum court tomorrow night.
Sunday night the Speedways had
Ray Handerhan and Pete HiZzolo to
fill berths formerly occupied by Ed
die Schelling and Sam Denberg, but
the National Turner ace will be in
attendance tomorrow night. Den
berg was given his release; as the
local manager is of the opinion hat
the Newark stars injured knee will
prevent his playing up to the usual
mark.
The roster of the Perth Amboy
Big Five at the present time is made
up of Captain David Thomas, Ed
Regain, Ray Handerhan, Pete Egg
gers, Pete Hansen and Dewey
Schwankert.

Court for Opening Game
Sunday

When the Carteret Separate bas-

Sunday night at Coughlin's Auditor
ium at Carteret, the .Lightnings, of
South Amboy will furnish the first
opposition.
This contest will be showered with
an unusual deluge of interest, as the
borough team Is composed of six we'll
known basketeers in this vicinity,
two are members of the st. Mary's
Speedway five, while the Lightnings,
having made a few changes in their
lineup, are fast becoming one of the
leading teams in this section.
Basketball was a leading sport
during the winter of 1921-1922 in
Carteret and, while the team form
ed last year to represent the Dor
ough played but few games, a re-
vival of interest in the court pastime
is being sought by the manager this
season. Ed. Coughlin is in charge
of the outfit and will make every eff
fort to give the fans in this section
a treat of real attractions during
the next few months.
Charley Brownmiller. Bob Han
derhan, John Bradley, Yak Lowen-
kopf, Chip Cutter and Joe Cough
lin comprise the Separate roster
and with this lineup the borough
team should rack up a considerable
string of wins.
The changes made in the Light
ming lineup are that of Charley Ep-
pinger, of the ~Sayreville Victorians,
and Nelson, a New York state bas-
keteer. The rest of the team will
remain the same as last season. a
big crowd is expected to witness the
first contest.
