emphasizing Righteousness as the
one fundamental in all denomina-
tons and all religious activities. Let
Righteousness have its place in the
home, In our patriotic activities, in
our national relationships, In our
business affairs, and all the prob

concern will soon be settled and
what Is more Will be settled correct
Y.
1.-THE great contest constantly be-
ing waged between labor and capt.
tai is the contest of unrfghteousness
on one side or the other, II not on
both sides. Each seems to be seek
ing advantage in the world of bust
ness, while there is something bet
ter than the mere superiority Of
strength. Right doing Is always bet
ter than mere ability to dominate
the situation.
What the world in which we live,
move and think needs more than
anything else Is Righteousness, and
/ always spell that world with a ca
ital r. because 1t is one of the fun
damentals in all activities and rela
tons in life.
"If we could be but actuated by
righteousness lOE u Lc" DTlSl uOuES,
there would result a sympathetic
functioning between all the contend
ing factors that now disturb, and
that sympathetic functioning would
result in their becoming acquainted
with each other, knowing each other
and looking upon the problems as
each other look upon them.
IF folks only knew each other az
they ought to know each other,
many of the disagreements of life
would diminish and pass away. The
only thing I know Of that ts cap
able Of producing this result Is
Righteousness in the human heart
and the one thing our world needs
more today than all else besides Is
a personal, national and information
al Consciousness and conscience that
express themselves in personal, ma
tional and international Righteous
ness"

who witnessed the encounter. Eye
witnesses say chat Temple was
"buttering' the blows thick and
fast on Johnson, when someone in
terfered and broke the men apart
Then they went at 1t again. BY that
time Johnson seems to have gotten
his second wind, for he found Tenn

the time he was "out" 1t Is hard to

Johnson had left the scene when he
came back to consciousness.
It is said that both men consider
the fight a draw, one round apiece
