THE TEST OF A MAN

It's er casey thing to he pleasant,
When bread and meat comes cheap,
An you've got the price
For your su ar and rice,
An a conscience that'l let you sleep
But take a fellow ats hungry
When groceries are out o'sight,
No work to do,
To pullim thru
Then no.hin' with i'm goes right
For the test of a man is hunger
An I'll halter 90 hungry too
If I amt got food
An is credit amt good,
Well, it's time to be ge,tin' blue.

GOOD MEN

There are men in the world, but not
al good men are destined to be leaders
The world is not full of leaders any
way. We have a large number of
WOULD BE LEADERS but in such
time as this they have been made
known to the world They have
shown themselves to be complete fail
ures It takes a man to successfully
pastor a church. 1t takes man to
successfully head an organization, L
takes a man to pay debts 1t takes

this.
GREAT MINDS DO NOT WAIVER
We have some people whose minds
waiver They turn and change with
the wind They are ready to follow
anybody they are ready 10 follow any
new propositions The world today need
men whose minds are solid men who
have vision, men who can see far "a
head. I know some men who will take
up with anything in order to be con
sidered leaders. ! know some men who
will Join in with organizations and
concerns that have no future what
ever, but if they can be named Pre-
sident Score airy, etc, the name Of
the Office sounds so big that they will
Join hand in hand with some person
who has never done anything Just to
wear the tile President Secretary,
tIodera' or, etc.
Peal men do not take up with
everything that passes. Real mon will
examine things thorou -hly before
they join in. Have you thought Of the
fact friends that you can almost ruin
your life and reputation by making
decision to hurriedly? I know several
men who have lowered themselves in
my es' imation by Joining in with
some new concern that was not worth
the snap of the fi4 err It is not a
good idea any way to yoke yOusef
up with men who have never done
anything. If you want to do big things
if you want to know big things see the
man who has done and knows big
things. See the man whose mind IS
steady and sound. See the man whose
vision is far reaching. See the man
who has a cool head and warm heart
SCI the man who has OLD COMMON
HORSE SENSE. It takes a big man to
do big things Little men with little
minds just can't do big things. I have
seen many little men trying to do big
things. But it is Ike wearing a num-
Der 10 shoe on a Number 5 foot. The
shoe is too big for the foot, so is the
lob too big for the little man.

The services at St. John last Sun
day were interesting. Rev. Bryant
preached from Thes. SIS. Some Of the
most outstanding thoughts were as
follows:
Faith is one Of the essential factors
in the life of a Christian. One must
have faith enough to stand regardless
to- their condition. When we have on
the breastplate Of love nothing can
hurt US.
Love gets you everywhere,
Hate gets you nowhere"
Hope as a helmet of salvation may
be faint, as following by the wayside;
faulting. not true or faulted and tri-
umphant. Hope will cause faith to
grow strong.
Rev. and Mrs. Bryant left last
Monday to attend the commencement

Dear Sir:
With reference to your letter of
January 31st, regarding the employ
ment of some of the unemployed a
mong the colored people in Omaha.
You no doubt realize at the pres
ent time that the working people are
not changing jobs as they did a few
years ago and our men who are en-
ployed steady at this yard are men
who have worked here in the past and
have been working here for some
time. The only laborers we are hir-
ing now other than that is just for
unloading an occasional car Of coal or
doing some general work around the
yard, and of course we simply hire
the first man who comes along for
that job.
Only today I gave a colored ma a
job Of unloading a car Of coal, 50 you
see we are not making any distinction
in the nationality or race Of the men
we employ. We have no objection to
hiring colored people, the thing we
are interested IN is to value received
for the money we pay out for work
done.
Very truly yours.
