CATS NINE LIVES
(By NEA Scryfce>

Miami. FIa.-L. o. Rogers owns a pointer puppy that scoffs at the nine lives of a cat. The dog has already used up four of it's lives. and if it continues having ths same luck it'll have many more to live through.
 Recently the puppy was caught in a steel trap and was missed for several days before he was found from starvation and thirst.
 A few days after he had recov. cred the pup unwisely took a nap in the driveway. A car backed out and ran over the dog's middle. an accident serious enough to take the life of any dog. But the pup pulled out of that sscapade also.

French dramatists turned the calendar back 25O years when they recently enacted play of Molere in the Palace of Versailles exactly as it once was presented before Louis XIV. Even scenery was omitted as was customary in the days of the Grand Mon- argue. All the actors were members of the Comedie Francaise.

TODAY IS THEA ANNIVERSARY s &gAZA
PaRe,S Address.

On August 5, 1917, Walter Hines Page. the United States ambassa- dor to Great Britain. delivered an address at Plymouth, England, on the allied cause in the World war. He said in part:
 "The war has swept away incl dental differences between Us as a harrow smoothes a field. ...... There is coming the great vic- tory for free government that was ever won, and the day of this vic- tory which we are both fighting for may turn out to be the most important date in our history, or perhaps in all history.
 And the necessity to win if has cleared the air as no other event in modern times has cleared 1t; and but for the millions of brave lives 1t has cost, this clear ing of the air would richly repay all that the war will cost. It has revealed the future of the world to us not as conquerors, but as pre- servers of it's peace.
 "This empire and the great re- public must then be the main guardians of civilization hereafter. the conscious and leagued guar dians Of the world"

The marathon record for preaching is going up. The latest champion is the Rev E. A. Sandfer. pastor of the Baptist church in Cotton Valley La. He started last Sun day at the usual hour and held forth con- tinuousy with brief pauses for nourish- ment. for 58 l-2 hours. This is almost as we'll as some of our statesman -marathoners used to do in the United States senate.

Believes In He'll Fire
and Torture for Wicked

BALTIMORE, Md.-(By Rev. Jul
MUS Gray) Hell is a place and a
state of punishment for the wicked.
God prepared this place before the
creation of man with plenty of
space for all who may die in their
sins.
believe from reading the Bible
that the fires of hell are fed con-
stantly with birthstone. an burn
without ceasing. In these flames the
wicked are suffering conscious pun
ishment and this punishment is moth
ing less than torment, and is eternal
in duration Every preacher and re-
ligious leader should advise men,
women and children how they can
avoid going to hell.
The Bible is Gods word. II Is the
Truth. The Bible which we have
was translated in the English; the
Old Testament from the Hebrew Ian.
guage, the New Testament from the
Greek language. The Hebrew word
sheol is the only word in that orig
inal language translated hell. The
Greek word hades has the m c
meaning as the Hebrew word sheol.
Two other Greek words in the New
Testament, gehenna and tartaroo are
translated hell. The Hebrew word
sheol and the Greek word hades are
translated also grave and pit, but |
believe it means hell right on and
nothing less.

Catholics Make Plea
For COlored Workers

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The denial of
the Neoro's right to work and the
white workers "intolerant attitude,
which has brought this about" were
denounced by the Federal Colored
Catholics of the United States, in one
of ten resolutions passed by that
body at the close of the organi2a-
tons convention, W hi c h has just
been held in st. Louis.
The resolution calls for an appeal
to be made to the national and in
ternational labor unions and to the
American Federation of Labor ITO
use their influence to remove the dis
ordinations against the Negroes
right to work" and to the national
and international unions ito remove
any determinations either in their
constitutions or practice against Ne
gro membership in their unions
This resolution dealing with dis
elimination against the Negro in the
matter of employment grew out Of
deliberations made at special round
table meeting called by the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, depart
ment of social action, which was
attended by white and colored labor
leaders and held simultaneously
with special meeting of the Cath
Ollie Conference on Industrial Prob
lens on the Negro in Industry, spon-
sored by the social action depart.
ment, N.C.W.C., and the interracial
committee of the Federated Colored
Catholics.
After denouncing discrimination
against the Negro. the resolution de-
| clared that at is the duty of Ne
gro workers to organize in unions to
help to the attainment of this equal
opportunity" "By such organiza-
ton" the resolution adds, "they will
exert the most practical and power
full means.the means specifically
recommended by our Holy Pontiffs
Leo XIII and Plus Xl-for obtaining
Just wages, Just hours and working
conditions in place of the depriva-
tons to which they are now ex-
posed"

Preparing To Meet God


We habitually put the gioomiest
construction on the words of the
Bible We mistake promises for warn
ings and rewards for punishments.
We forget that religion is a litter of
burdens, not burden itself.
When the prophet says Prepare
to meet thy God" wepicture shrink
ing sinner suddenly called upon to
meet his Judge. Rather we should
picture a pilgrim, come at last to the
end of his quest. To the seoffer at
high things it may seem a calamity
to "fall into the hands of the living
Cod; but to the servant of God it is
an anticipated joy.
There are many meeting places
with the Divine. One man is filled
with the sense of Gods presence in
the hour of his sorrow, another at
some time when he is alone upon
some hilltop and all the world is
silent, another in the contemplation
of his first-born child, when the mys-
terry of life becomes articulate in his
soul and he bows before it. God
spake unto the fathers in divers man
ners and at sundry times. So He
speaks to us. in a thousand ways
and the alert soul must be prepared
to hear His voice.
1t is a pitiful thing that so many
of us are blind and deaf to His pres.
ence. Jacob, filled with thoughts OF
his own concern, does not realize ii
the night has passed and morning
dawned that God has been speaking
to him. "Truly, God was in this place
and knew it not" he said.
"Some thought it Numbered ant
some said an angel spake," but to
Jesus there had been a moment wher
he heard the voice of His Father.
We must be prepared, if we would
truly meet Him. In heart and mine
we must be ready. In the exercise OF
every means of grace the soul /.
taught to know God, that when the
veil is snatched away, even for a mo-
ment, we shall not fail to recognize
the day of our visitation.
