NOT AIMS BUT OPPORTUNITY

And who is my neighbor? This
question was largely answered by a
number of persons through their va
rious churches in very worthy ap-
peal made only recently through the
office of the Omaha Urban league.
1t was evidenced that my neighbor
is not necessarily the person living
close by or the person who communes
with me in church; he may or may
not be fraternity brother, or a fell
low worker. If one touch of nature
makes the whole world kin surely one
in dire need is my neighbor. No bet
ter manifestation of neighborliness
nor more tangible manifestation of
Christian brotherhood has been seen
than the response to the case of
George Wilson, aged SO, who lost his
horse, his only means of support for
himself and wife, who is "A.
On applying to the Industrial de-
partment of Urban league for work
it was evident to the secretary of the
league that it would be very difficult
to secure employment for him. On
interviewing Mr.. Wilson it was learn
ed that during the six or eight years
he had been hauling he had built up
a very good trade which allowed him
and his wife to live comfortably. Sew
eral old horses had been given him
by the Humane Society but their age
and years of service rendered them
worthless to the old man in a very
short space of time.
After explaining to a dealer of
horses the case of Mr.. Wilson, a so
per cent reduction was obtained on a
sound, strong horse, shoes were pur-
chased and a supply of feed and
shafts for the wagon.
The old gentleman was profuse in
his thanks to those who made these
purchases possible and cried for JOY.
