Problem or Power


Text: We then that are strong
ought TO hear the tnfirmities Of the
weak, and not to please ourselves.
Romans 1871
Paul was one Of the strong men
of his day. and It was through this
strength that he was able to bear
many of the burdens of his weaker
brethren. Out of the hidden life
of his own experience, he offers
first-rate advice: We who are
strong, ought to bear burdens"
This principle is the bedrock of
Christian civilization. It also is a
revelation of the kind of folks who
are in the world. People may be
placed in two groups-problems or
powers. There are those who arr
weak and need help, and there are
those who are strong and can give
burden-bearing power. To which
group do we belong? Arc We
strong and helping, or weak and
needing help? Frequently folks
are not at fault when they are
classed with those who are in the
problem class. Accident misfor-
tune, unfavorable environment, OPP
preston, cruelty may have forcel
them, against their own wills, into
the problem class. But nine out
of ten have it within their power
to get out of the problem class in
to the army of the workers of pow
err.
We must early face this fact,
that we can not be of great service
to this world of needy humanity
until we first have solved our own
problem. Let us clearly see that
we all start with one. 1t may be
the problem of personal victory ov-
err temptation, or the problem of
getting along with other folks, or
that of adjusting our own lives to-
ward God.
Kipling says in one of his poems
Lord, help me to need no help of
men, that I may help such men
as need" There it isl It ought
to be the prayer of every earnest
Christian to need no help of others,
but that we may be made strong
to help the infirmities of the weak!
But we can not bear the intirmities
of the weak until we ourselves are
strong with the strength which
God supplies through His eternal
Son" When inwardly right our
selves - harmonious, adjusted =
then can we go with healing power
to the areas of earth where greed
and sin and sorrow claim the
Christians aid

A NEW VERSION
Of THE PARABLE
GOOD SAMARITAN.

(By ]. F. Newton for the Co.
operative Negro Press
How would Jesus talk to us to-
day if He were living and teaching
among us? One of my readers has
been studying the subject, and he
is not at all satisfied with the new
versions of the Bible.
What we need, he thinks, is not
so much a new translation of the
words of the Teacher as a transIa-
ton of His spirit and ideas. To
show what he means, he sends me
his version of the parable of the
Good Samaritan. No one will denv
that it is wildly realistic-here 1t

Leibowitz Attacks
Scottsboro Torture

NEW YORK-A charge that the
Scottsboro boys were being beat
en- and starved in the Jefferson
County (Ala) Jail was forwarded
to Sheriff James F. Hawkins by
Samuel S. Leibowitz on Saturday.
The charge was based on a let
ter from one of the boys and an
other from Benjamin J. Davis,
Jr., attorney, stating: "Tortures
against the boys are increasing
every day, and it is my opinion
that they cannot stand this pun
ishment any longer"

The Parable

A rich man in Chicago made the
gang leader angry because he re-
fused to pay the racket. AS a re-
suit he was kidnapped, taken for
a ride, put on the spot, bumped off
and left by the roadside for dead.
Now it happened that a minister
of religion drove by that way. HI
was already a little late for an i'm
portant appointment, and, anyway,
he did not know anything about
first-aid. So, after surveying the
situation, he decided to drive on
and report at the next police sta
ton.
A few minutes later, member
of Congress came that way in his
high-powered car. His chauffeur
pointed out that there seemed to
be some one in trouble by the side
of the road. But he said, "Drive
faster; if we stop we may be held
up and robbed ourselves by the
bandits"
Junk Man Appears
After while an old colored man
came along with a load of junk.
He pulled up his old car, got out
and lifted up the stranger, tore OF
a piece of his own shirt and bound
up the wounds, and brought him
to hospital, where he had sope
difficulty getting the man in.
THAT dirty junkman ought 70
have had better sense" said the
house-surgeon to the inferno who
handled the case. This leg will
become septic through contact
with these rotten rags"
Who Was Greatest?
None the less, the colored man
was the greatest of the three. He
saw his duty a dead sure thing, did
it IN the best way he knew and
went on about his work without
giving his name, much less getting
it in the paper.
If the parable, so translated.
makes us vince when we read ii,
perhaps that is proof that it is
pretty close to the truth

into their natural folds. Or even if
he does hang his suit up neatly, he
is likely to wear the same things day
after day until the shoes turn up at
the toes like wrinkle-faced ducks and
his suit grows balloon-shaped at the
knees and says despondently at the
pockets. Not until he has worn his
clothes completely out of shape does
he send them to a tailor-not a
chosen tailor, who will carefully re-
store them, but one of another va
riety.
Then, too, there IS another story,
that of not unknown type of Amer

whose own clothes bear every evidence
of unceasing attention as we'll as the
frequent arrival of a band box from

the fact that cleaning fluid, pressing

been within aid-giving distance. One
wonders sometimes what sort Of i'm

tial replacement material for the needs
of the body, harmless and somewhat
useful in supplying at least part
of the chemistry used by the body in
rebuilding and running its various
activities
Food that natures in the sunlight
above ground is vital food in every
sense. 1t not only carries the chem
istry of the soil but this is elaborated
by the actinic rays of sunlight; its
vitamines, its vital principles, are in
stilled in this way, so that it is not
only restorative of the needed chem
istry, but vitality producing at the
same time. Nature makes no mistakes,
and her arrangements for the nourish-
ment of all her fauna are perfect, If
they are properly understood.
We also have a wonderfully adapt
able machine in the human body that
permits of the use of wrong foods for
rather long periods without seeming
harm, as the body, not finding the ma
terials ready at hand for repairs and
the development of needed energy, can
make use of other and perhaps similar
foods that do very nicely for time.
One thing the body cannot over
come, however, and that is deficiencies,
for it cannot make one chemical out
of another, however similar in min
erals these two may be.
If lime is needed, if lime is running
low in the body, magnesium will par
TALLY take its place for time. In the
near future, however, we are going 10
go down and develop tuberculosis or
other ime-def1ciency condition if we
do not get the colloidal lime itself.
Those foods grown below the sur
face of the ground do not have lime
in wholly restorative form for the use
of the body. And as lime IS our most
important alkai, one that enters
widely into our most vital processes,
We should see to it that every day
we use plenty of vegetables of leafy
variety: salads, plenty of fresh fruits,
and unprocessed milk or buttermilk,
all Of which are our natural sources
of lime, or calcium.
Certain deep-sea fish concentrate in

unable to get enough of the raw vege-
table salads and fruits, or enough
raw milk, as during the Winter time,
We may then secure most of the
benefits of this class of foods by taking

The bidding:

.
South hesitated about the redouble,
but he didn't see how the combined
hands could possibly be of more than
three tricks. North'S bid of one spade
is, of course, incorrect. His proper
response is one no trump.
In the play of the hand, North
went down the customary two tricks.
A diamond was opened and a second
diamond returned, which was ruffed
in dummy. North then entered his
hand with the queen of spades and
played a club toward the king in
dummy. East helpfully went up with
the ace and played another club
back. North took the f1nesse and at
tempted to slip the king of clubs past
West, but West unkindly trumped
it and returned spade. For some
strange reason North now played an
other round of trumps before he took
the heart flneSse, and then discov-
cred that he had to lose two heart
tricks.
North lost the timing on the hand.
He must take the heart finesse when
he is in his hand with the queen of
spades. Now the ace of hearts is
played and a small heart trumped.
Then the club led toward the king
in dummy-and since East. who pre-
sumably wins the trick with the ace,
has no more spades to return, North
can ruff out dummy's last heart,
making four spades redoubled. The
flnesse for the queen Of clubs is not
even necessary.
