The Selfish Man
ID ID AC

(For The Literary S.rvice Bureau)
There lived a man in selfish ease.
His chief ambition to appease
His app-tites- No care had he
What might another's sorrows be.
Being unmoved by human woe,
Blinded, he nothing seemed to know,
Or carr what 9th ! men befell,
Living in selfish, narrow shell.
He died. and some were known to
weep,
When cams the long, eternal sleep,
Because by actions it was shown.
He lived his life for self alone
So shall it ever be, with all
Who selfish live. When comes the
call
To face eternity; and, dead.
The world for them no tears will
shed.

no mere paper commitments for
sentimental effect as was shown by
the stand taken on hotel acconmoda-
lions before the convention date.
Following its policy to hold its bien-
NAL meetings only in cities whose
hotels guarantee the same treatment
for all delegates, the Convention
Committee has secured agreement
from the Hotel Mems Association Of
Philadelphia that this policy would
be respected during this meeting. One
hotel broke its agreement to accom-
modate all delegates alike and i'm
mediately word was flashed to every
Association in the country not to use
that hotel; and this request was
obeyed by every delegate. This meant
that every delegate received court
eous and generous hospitality and
that the more than one hundred Ne
gro delegates, not annoyed or limited
by segregation, could spend their en-
tire time on the matters before the
convention in any hotel where meet
ings being held. Following are
the recommendations presented by
the Public Affairs Committee Of the
National Y. w. C. A. to the Conven-
ton and voted by the Convention:
l. To encourage and support the
federal government in policies Of in
terracial cooperation rather than Of
separation wherever it touches inter-
reial life.

III HAVE HEARTS
By r. A. Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Fathers have h arts, so do not tread
Upon them ruthlessly, instead
To them consideration show.
For fathers. 700. have hearts. you
know.
Fathers have hearts that Ike ally feel
unkindness. Though they may con-
ceal
The cruel hurts they often bsas,
Yet, they have hearts-of this beware.
\
Fathers have hearts hat fondly yearn
For love and kindness in return
For theirs. They may not so confess,
But thy have hears, nevertheless.
Remember then. and though we may
Du1 homage to all mothers pay,
Fathers who sacrifices make
Have hearts that feel, and love-and
break.

Prayer-A Christian Pri-
viledge and Duty For 9th

BY Mrs. Il. Fl. Goodwin, St. John A.
M. Z. Church
WHAT is PRAYER!

-
fight Satan and put he and his imps
to flight. An with which we
ward off Satan's fietv darts and
thus protect the temple in which
God dwell. A wireless with which we
get in touch with God, and lay our
cares and burdens at his feet. "A med
ium through which God and man is
brought in proximity with each 9th
er, and man can pour out the con
tents Of his soul at the feet Of that
mighty monarch who instantly ans
we our prayers and speaks peace
to our troubled souls.
Prayer ~elevates men and places
them on a high mountain above the
sinful things of the world. Makes
men bold, courageous, fearless of
Satan and his dastardly works En-
lightens mems minds. and draws
them to that sacred nearness to God;
whe ein He can fill that emptiness
left by sin, and makes them vastly
wise beyond the compr hension of
men not under the influence of Gods
power.
In reality W e are free. Free to wor-
ship God as we please, but somehow
u mode Of worship seems to be a
misfit, and one Cody inclin d lets
his mind drift back to the dark days
of slavery when our fore-parents
now asleep, prayed until the shackles
that bound them in their dingy little
cabins shook, and ratified out it's sad
message that reached the throne Of
God
There they knelt on the cabin floor,
Praying that God would let them 20
Free and rid them Of their plight,
Turn their darkness into light"
God in his majesty heard their
cries, and gave to the world that

whose works have stamped his name
into the minds Of the American Ne
gro that can never be CEASED.
The prayer Of the slave Negro
blossomed and bore fruit, and gave
to the world a new Negro with a free
and firm desire to worship God in an
intelligent way.
Prayer will move mountains Will
heal the sick. Will raise the dead
from that old satanic body and give
US . keen vision Of God, and spirit
ual things.
Prayer will take away grudge,
hatred, envy, malice. lust, temper,
and sadness. and substitutes JOY.
peace, fairness and love; joining Us
together with that unbreakable chain
of fellowship that will radiate love
and make US n happy family with
God as our head.
Prayer Is not only ancient, but
modern. It has been the watch word
OF humanity from our first parents
in the garden Of Eden to the modern
American youth of today, and will
reach the heart Of God who is anxious
to reward every good effort on the
part Of his children, according to
their faith.
Dear Christian friends, let US be-
ware Of fickleness in all things, espe-
cially in religion. 1t is contemplate
to be one thing today, and another
thing tomorrow.
Prayer will keep Us from being
ambitious to be thought what we are
not, but will make us aim to be, what
we would have others think we are.

The method of review must always
be determined by the teacher in the
light of the grade Of the school and
the aptitudes of the pupils. For senior
n adult classes the best method will
be TO recall that all the lessons Of the
quarter are from the Book Of Mat
thew which has as Its theme, Jesus
Christ. the Messianic King, and His
Kingdom and then to present each
lesson In its relation to the central pur-
pose. The lessons have a threefold
unity, namely: one book, one theme
one person.

Nordic Depravity
By r A.

(Fo, The Literary Services Bureau)
For sordidness and evidence of de-
pravity, it would be difficult to find
a case more pitiable than that Of the
two old white men in Oklahoma who
traded daughters to each other. A
mar ~fifty-seven, married his neigh
boris daughter of fifteen years. The
sixty seven year old man took for q
wife a little girl of eleven years.
daughter of the man to whom he had
given his fifteen year old daughter.
This affair climaxed in the murder
of father by the other; for what
cause it is not known.
The little eleven year old wife told
the story how, on the honeymoon
trip, both couples slept in the same
bed-on the anne pallet. This child
was glad to get away from her "old
mar Crouch" but was sad over the
death Of her father who was poison
ed by her undesired husband. These
are white people - boosted Nordies.
They had opportunities which are
denied Us of q darker hue; yet, they
were too densely ignorant to realize
the gravity of their folly. or the ter
rible injustice done to their own chill
dren. Here we have a combination
Of ignorance and utter depravity; yet
in the eyes of most white Americans
even these degenmates are superior

tured Negroes This inclines one to

TWO WOMEN IN
 ATTEMPT TO DIE
Leaped From New York Ferry at Same Time;
 One Was Saved

New York, Aug. 25 - (UP) - Out of 500 persons embarking on a Staten Island ferry last night, two women intended to drown themselves. Midway across New York harbor. Mrs Ruth Hoag, 26, broke away from her husband and five year old daughter and jumped over the stern railing. At approxi- mately the same moment, Miss Marie Bassett, 59, jumped over the bow railing.
 Neither women knew the other, or had the slightest intimation that another mind on the same boat was precisely attuned to her own.
 Patrolman Beon Boerum leaped in after Mrs Hoag and after a 15- minute fight, got her back to the boat. Artificial respiration was applied for over an hour. but in the end she was pronounced dead.
 A lifeboat was lowered to help Patrolman Boerum and it's crew sighted Miss Bassett. No one had seen her jump. The crew pulled her out. She was taken to a hos pital where it was believed she would recover.
 Mrs Hoag, her hsband, and their daughter, were riding back and forward between Manhattan and the island to enjoy the cool harbor breezes. Mrs Hoad had not been unhappy, he said, there was no quarrel, Apparently she re- sponded to impulse. Hoag is re- lief worker. Miss Bassett refused to say anything about herself. She wouldn't so much as give her ad- dress.
