THE STORY OF THE WEEK
By Daniel w. Chase
Ice North Fawn street, PhiIadeIphia. Pc.

The story Of the week discloses i'm
portant happenings. Speaking Of
peace, as the season would suggest,
there is still the Balkan war. This
has been for some time, the immediate
participants for the present being Al
bania, yes, and Jugo-Slavia. The state
Of unrest that has been noted with re-
gard to Africa, still continues, Great
Britain, Of course, going on with its
usual English Dominion" Russia is
still active, mostly along Red lines,
and the world has discovered that
Germany is not by any means dis
armed" The story Of the week as
regards the Egyptian situation relates
that Mr.. Amery, Secretary for the
Colonies, speaking at a luncheon in
London recently, remarked that while
we had no desire to stand in the path.
Of the fullest local development Of the
Egyptian people, we were bound in
the interests Of Egypt and the whole
empire to safeguard effectively and
firmly our rights there"
In the Congress: The Senate and
the House were both in holiday re-
cess. The House passed an appropri-
alton Of $5O,OOO,OOO to Be used in re-
payment Of federal taxes illegally col
lected, which was requested by the
Treasury Department. Senator Nor
ris in the Senate bitterly assailed Pres

edge and skill became necessary to
conduct them on to further success.
These institutions have now grown to
such gigantic proportions that their
need is for big unselhsh, broad-minded,
broad-gauged, thoroughly educated,
specially trained men Of keen fore
sight and unselfsh character, who are
devoted to the cause in which they are
engaged that they may give to their
fellowmen the best there is in them for
the good they may do for humanity.
The pulpit and press, educational in
stitutions, art and science, professions,
commercial and industrial institutions
are in need of a greater degree Of pro-
6ciency, on the part Of the men en-
gagged in them, to continue their growth
that they may continue to serve soci-
ETY., and meet the ever increasing de-
mands.
The need is for men Of strong char
acter, men who are honest, faithful and
true, men whose sterling worth is un-
Improbable, God-fearing and God
loving men, men whose lives are in
harmony with the teachings of Jesus
Christ, who recognize their duty to
God and humanity. Men who have
ambition to serve their master well,
men who hunger and thirst for knowl-
edge, and have the patience and perse-
verence to work hard to obtain it, that
they may be useful, men who are will
ing to develop their God-given talents
to the highest degree Of perfection,
men who are willing to complete their
collegiate course Of education and
thereafter take up a line of special
training to prepare them for the par
ticular line of usefulness in which they
engage, that they may give the world
the very best that is in them.
In conclusion, let me add, the pur-
pose in writing this article, is to in
spire the young men Of today to a
higher ambition Of unselhsh usefulness,
because it is a fact that many Of our
largest institutions have scouts out
looking for men who are able to fiji
the position they have open to men
who are able to fiji them; such men
make the captains Of industry who
later become the General OF
these large institutions, now 50 neces-
sary in every activity of life SO that the
world is crying for men, crying for
men Of the type described in louder
tones Of voice than ever before in the
history Of the world. The field is wide
and diversified; properly prepare your
self; the position you desire is await
ing you. It is yours II you can but
properly fill it.

Boston, Mass-The real Coolidge
administration management was ap-
preached here this week anent the
Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and Federal
Segregation. The National Equal
Rights League, under the lead of its
national corresponding secretary, VIM.
Monroe Trotter, secured an audience
with the Executive head of the Repub-
Iican party and the real leader Of the
Senate as administration spokesman,
in the person OF Senator VIM. M. But
Ter of Massachusetts at his Boston Of
6ce.
The audience was especially to urge
Sen. Butler to introduce the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill into the u. S Sen
ate, but abolition of Federal segrega-
ton was also urged. Those in the
delegation, introduced by Secretary
Trotter, were Rev. Benjamin W..

executive committee, and Chas. L.

branch, the local secretary, A. G..
Wolff, Esq, being prevented only by a
painful accident from appearing.
After listening attentively for over
twenty minutes while each member Of
the delegation put the issue up to him
with earnestness from political, hui
name and patriotic points Of view,
stressing the leadership Of the equal
rights state Of Massachusetts, through
the positions Of the Senator and Of
President Coolidge, Mr.. Butler replied
with a sympathetic but straightfor-
ward statement. He said he was
moved by the records Of his senatorial
predecessors such as Sumner, Hoar
and Crane, who had been mentioned
but he did not have to be won over
to the cause Of the race as he had been
taught sympathy BY his father a
clergyman Of New Bedford, Mass,
staunch advocate for the race.
The Senator then said he would ex-
anime into the Legislative situation
and present the bill to the Senate, but
at the time when he considered there
was the best chance to really get re-
suits. He feared it might not Be at
this short session, however, when ap-
preparation bills had the right Of way.
He would be guided BY the chance for
getting results.
The delegates felt the Senator, who
acted cordially and agreeable, but Dig
nihed and business-like, was man not
given to exaggerated promises but
who would do what he promised. AT
the close, Mr.. Butler said he would
also look into the matter Of Federal
segregation.

THE WORLD rs CRYING FOR

By Judge Henry M. Walker

In the great drama of life, the Ac-

years roll by, each playing their part
as best they can, picture is painted
beautiful to behold and worthy of our
profound study.
! sometimes wonder whether we full
ly comprehend the beauties of life and
appreciate the privilege that We en-
JOY in being permitted to take our
part in this beautiful drama.
The world, the stage, 50 perfect in
every detail so complete in its ac-
commodation to our needs, every de-
sire Of mankind so fully provided for,
with our happiness in our own hands,
and as the need of generation after
generation grows with the advance
ment of civilization, God the Supreme
Architect Of the Universe, in his won
derful goodness to man continues to
unfold the hidden mysteries Of science,
that we may enjoy more fully the
beauties Of His creation.
Much might be said of the beauties
Of the sun, moon and stars, Of the
Earth with its mountains and plains,
its woods, its silvery streams and tur-
bulent seas, Of the beauties of its sea
sons, etc. but space forbids.
The World might also be considered
great work shop, wherein each in
dividual has duty to perform.
The needs Of society are many and
are ever increasing as the hidden mys-
teries Of science are unfolded to us,
The farmer no longer cuts the grass
with his scythe, nor does he harvest
his wheat with the cradle, as in olden
times. The days Of the stage-coach,
and the pony-post have passed away;
the spinning wheel, the tallow candle,
and kerosene lamp are no longer
household necessities, and are now but
memories 81 a few years ago.
Each decade brings forth its quota
of revelations and improvements to
meet the requirements Of the age, and
az these articles Of usefulness in the
years gone by, have been displaced by
more modern inventions, 50 has the
printing press and education eIimi-
mated the old time coffee houses Of
London, where the people gathered for
the purpose Of obtaining information,
and discussing the topics Of the day.
Ills an old adage 'That where little
is known, little is required.
While the needs Of man ia the early
ages Of civilization were few and crude,
therefore comparatively easy to be
supplied, the needs Of society increase
rapidly As civilization advances on its
forward march.
IN the early history Of the world,
when agriculture was the peoples chief
industry and manufacture was in its
infancy, education was limited in its
scope and possessed by a comparative
few.
The school Of experience was, in
