of a similar shameful sight, and
the like.
But in Walter Whites "Rope,
and Faggot" there are photo
graphs Of actual lynching no less
revolving than these; and, bring
ing us even closer to reality,
others have appeared not 50 long
ago In daily newspapers. AS long
as the crime of lynching itself
continues, it seems a little bit
foolish for anybody to be protest
ing gaainst an art by a compare
lively small number of people.
The New York show may vet
be held where protests to stop it
will be unavailing. If graphic re-
minders that we have permitted
the evil to persist are SO uncom-
Portable we may be moved to do
something about it-such as pass
the federal anti-lynching measure
now before congress.

LIFE AND YOU"

LIFE AND YOU"
Live for something. Have a pur-
pose
Drifting like a helpless vessel
That can not TO life be true.
Half the wrecks that strew life's
ocean
If some star had been their
guide
Might have long been riding safe
ly
But they drifted with the tide.
Dear friends, | presume, | am
right in using the above phrase,
Dear Friends AT least, I hope
So | am asking everyone Of my
readers to read the above poem
through slowly. 1t is trueP Yes,
il is, and how very true.
Living for something. Every
n no matter who, race, creed or
it, has some purpose in view.
whatever you may care to term
If you will watch a small child,
two or three years old, when they
play. They have some purpose
in view. If they are playing with
their blocks, they have a purpose.
1t may be to build something. 1t
may be to look at a picture on it.
But there is some purpose behind
their child-like play.
Take grown people, for in
stance, in their social life. 1t may
be just a game Of cards, whist,
bridge, etc. When you sit down
at the table, you have a purpose
in view. If they are offering a
prize, your purpose, your ambi-
ton is to win hat prize.
When a child starts to school
it has a purpose.
So, my friends, you see it is
confronting you, no matter what
you do. But we will look at a
different side Of it now, the bust
ness side, your career, my career.
Take our little poem, the first
two lines.
olive for something. Have a
purpose
And that purpose keep in
view"
What a different place the
world might be if everyone was
living for something If every
one had a purpose and was con-
stantly struggling to conquer the
same. If always before their eyes,
and in their minds, was the ever
lasting thought Of what position
they were doing to hold in life.
If everyone had his mind set on
something high, this world would
be so different. People would
have no time to lie, gossip, criti-
cize others. The reason my
friends, that our people, may /
say, the MAORI y Of my people
have SO much time to lie, such
dreadful lies as they can tell, Cos
sip, something they know practi-
cally nothing about, just what
someone else has told them. May
[ recall the Mills Brothers record
ing, Iheard. 1t wasn't told me,
1 only heard" That's what the
majority of my people talk about.
Just something they heard, and
each time you hear it, it has a
little 0 added to it. If my
friends, they had some purpose
in life, would theey have time for
all Of this so-called gossiping and
lying? No doubt emphasis on
the word, No Why? Because
their minds and their time would
be on their purpose. They would
be constantly thinking and striv-
ing for come way or something
to lift their position in life.
Take the next two lines Of my
poem, Friends.
Drifting like a Helpless YES
sci.
That cannot to life be true"
If, my Friends, you, in life, have
no purpose, no ambition no guild
ing star, but go from day to day,
drifting through nothing, just
drifting with the crowd, you are
no good to yourself nor to any
one else on earth, and if you will
pardon the expression, often
would be better off dead.
We will 60 on to the last four

TALKING TT OVER

lines Of my poem.
"Half the wrecks that strew
Life's ocean
If some star had been their guide
Might have long been riding safe
ly
But they drifted with the tide"
How true, my Friends, so very
true. No purpose, no ambi ion,
no guiding star. Without these
three, one cannot expect to get
any place in life.
My Friends, may l say this.
That as long as you have a pur-
pose in life, have an ambition to
be something, there is not much
danger in your getting into
trobule because you will not have
time for foolishness Of any kind.
And in case, some Of my dear
Friends and Readers have been
drifting with the crowd, may I
leave this poem with you, with the
hope that these two poems and my
subject may strike someone and
will cause them to see their mis-
takes and turn before it is too
late.
Though your lamp of Life is burn
ing
With a clear and sturdy light
And it never seems to flicker
But is always shinging bright.
Though it sheds its light unbroken
For a thousand happy days
Father Time is ever turning down
The wick that feeds the blaze.
So, it clearly is your duty, if you
have a thing to do,
To put your shoulder to the
wheel, and try to push it
through.
If you're upon a hayward track,
you better turn about
You've lost the chance to DO it,
when the light goes out.
Speak kindly to the woman who
is waiting for your praise
The same Is you used to do in
those happy counting days.
She likes appreciation just the
same as me and you
And it's only right and proper
that you give her what she's
due.
Don't wait until your lamp is
burning dim and low
Afore you tell her what you
aught told her long ago.
Now is the time to cheer up and
put her blues to rout
You've lost the chance to do
it when the light goes out.
Stop putting matters off and set
ting dates ahead.
For tomorrow's sun will find a
hundred million Of us dead.
Don't think because you re feel
ing well you won't be sick no
more.
Sometimes the reddest pepper
has a wormhole to the core.
Don't let a killing habit grow up
on you soft and still
Because you think that you can
throw it from you at your
will.
Now is the time to quit it when
you're feeling strong and stout
You've lost the chance to do it
when the light goes out.
Now, I'd rather die with nothing
than to have the people say
That | had got my money in a
robbing, grasping way.
No words above my resting place
from any tongue or pen
Would have a deeper meaning
than she helped her fellow
IlGu.
II you've got some money and you
want to help the poor
Don't keep a starving off till
you have a little more.
II you're upon a miser's track
you'd better turn about
You've lost the chance to do it
when the light goes out.
So, my Friends, we will bring
to a close this most interesting
topic on You and Life, hoping
that it may help someone along
the road of life.
Have a purpose, my Friends, al
ways, keep it before your forever
more, and you will, nine times
out of ten rise to wealth and
glory.
