Editor: r
Your last issue carried an arti-
Gle by Judge Malcolm Hatfield that
deserved q very careful reading by
many parents Of this city.
unruly boys, who wind up in
Jail, their careers Of selfishness,
thoughtlessness and viciousness
condoned by too easy parental in
diligence, find many parallels
here. Any number of prominent
business corners in this city, both
north and south, show an alto
gether too numerous a number Of
young men bent on their own
pleasure, to the detriment Of the
businesses concerned, the public
safety and the status Of our race.
Al the Judge points out these
things are brought about almost
entirely by the mamby-pamby at
tltudes Of parents who expect
other people to accept the respon-
sibllities Of directing the Maynard
boys who should be taught and dis
ciplined at home.
Such neglect not only spoils the
future Of young men who could
amount Ia soynethinD II Gives the
entire group a black eye. The
writer agrees with the Judge in the
thought that such careless parents
should be punished in some more
definite way than. comes to them
m the guardians Of the hoodlums
who detils our public streets.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
THE CHILD-THE PARENT

I'M SkAiA<t-A hEA hkNH<ANA
Editor: :
In June there win be hundreds OF
High School and College graduates
scattered throughout the United
States. Many Of these viii be Me-
grocs. They, both white and black,
win be sending out applications
and travelling everywhere looking
for Jobs. A very small percentage
will secure work. A large majority
will fall on relief. Some will fall
back on their parents for support.
Others will return to school to seek
higher degrees because there are
no Jobs In sight. Parents who
make almost impossible sacrifices
10 send THAR children to school
four years must support them after
finishing school. There are no jobs
for college graduates or anyone
else. Who's fault is this! The
writer feels that this is the fault
Of the parents who have not built
any businesses for their children.
Then why should you expect
someone else, say like Donald
son, or Kresge to invite your
child In TO take q place! The writer
has suggested ways in which jobs
for poor people could be had. You
may build . cooperative store of
your own, You may form buying
club, or you may throw your buy
Ing power to one or two stores.
Let's get our hands and hearts to-
gether and Ego to town"

was just being brought in from hel
sun bath. She looks and feels fine
She has passed in all her studio,
for the school year. We wonder
just what it is that makes all al
Glen Lake so "dee-lightful anc
dee-lovely." Patients have no com
plants to make and the personnel
has the most fiattering praise for
their family. Two of the members
were away for a brief leave Of abb
sence. This is always such an en-
couraging privilege. We hope, we
hope that those now enjoying this
privilege will not abuse it by fail
ing to return when their thirty-six
hours are up. That happened last
winter and we know it is selfish
thing to do, to say the least.
The men out there do wear the
most stunning pajamas. No little
ole knee length, fasten in the back
shirts for them. One Of the ladies
was on her way to the dining room
and we just had time to find out if
she felt as good as she looked. Sew
eral Of the others were going to
see the movies later on. They have
the latest pictures and a grand au-
ditorium for entertainments. Had
our first talk with a patient who
has lived there for six years.
Stormy weather rather downed
him for a week so we had a lively
chat. He has always been
up and about on our previous
visits. Our friend, Mr.. Mitchell, is
on his vacation. Here's hoping he
will have something new in the line
of fish stories or bring 'em back
alive.
Found four of the eight we saw
at our last visit to the Rest Home.
One is in the restricted ward at
Another one returned
to his home. A friend
opened her home to another and
still another one is somewhere out
on the north side Of town. We felt
so depressed to learn Of this last
ones leaving. We spent consider
able time and called on others to
help US give assistance to this per-
son. Clothes were donated by the
South Side Missionary Club of Zion
Baptist Church. This person is

side to get in a close up with ole

Well, at least we found the patients |
in General Hospital behaving last
Tuesday. Missed visiting them
Friday. Rushed out to Parkview

FITNESS FOR THE KINGDOM
BY RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. D, IL d. D. c. L.,


In one Of the most remarkable dia-
logues between Christ and His disciples
the latter asked Him the question: who
is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?'
The answer that Jesus gave is an ex-
traordinary one in that He called little
child unto Him, set him in the midst OF
them and said: verify, I say unto you,
except ye be converted and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into
the Kingdom of Heaven"
Some one has we'll said that the ideal
here set forth by the Master is revo-
lutionary in that it reverses all human
judgments concerning what constitutes
the essential elements of greatness. That
He should select a child as the highest
exemplar of fitness for the Kingdom.
and that He should boldly state that
only as men in their habit and practice
reproduce the essential elements of the
child are they fit for the Kingdom, Is
both arresting and, on first examination,
confusing.
When we come to consider more closely
the real significance of Christ's state
ment. we are compelled to realize that
the finest elements in life. and the most
enduring. are portrayed and exemplified
AAA tAiC NAAAN' EAo a AhdbtCl Va 4nIbp IAiC
child is the symbol OF the finest ideals
Of which we have knowledge. 1t is
characterized by utter honesty, frank
ness. freedom from affectation, unfail-
ing affection and a sincerity that allows
no shadow of doubt to obscure its ex-
preston. To the mind of Christ, con-
version is not only change Of mind;
it is change Of habit; it Is substituting
for our crude and ungenerous ways of
appraising life a practice that is finely
generous and discriminating, wholly
freed from bias and unkindly judgment
One does not have to think deeply to
realize what kind Of world this would
be in every aspect Of it's life if this
ideal were to prevail. 1t would affect
our relations socially, economically and
politically. 1t would create a new order
Of society. 1t reaches down to the very
depths Of national and international
friendships. 1t answers the criticism
made by nation that religion is the
opiate of a people" In word, it makes
religion vital and operative force, and
instead Of being profession of the lips
1t makes 1t an active and governing
principle of life.

Britain and Ireland.

While British craftsmanship is en-
crossed in efforts to prevent European
war, Downing Street once again is deal
ing with peace problem nearer home,
namely, improvement of relations with
the Irish Free State. These have been
strained to the breaking point ever since
the Dublin government decided to with
hold payment Of the f50O0000 land
annuities. During the intervening four
years acrimonious feeling has increased
in both countries in consequence of
mutual tariff reprisals. Recurrent
efforts to heal the breach have come to
naught.
While President De Valera no longer
demands absolute independence, he has
consistently manifested the Free States
purpose to remain master in its own
house and ban any semblance of British
control. The Council executives appar-
ent goal is establishment of what might
be termed republic within an empire
the status, with certain notifications,
which the governing British do
minions occupy. An Irish Free State
thus situated would possess sovereign in
ternal powers, but would recognize the
King of England for purposes Of men,
bership in the empire. Willingness to
accept such relationship was revealed
at the time of King Edwards abdica-
ton. The Free State never recognized
the former monarch's accession, but will
acknowledge George vi in the field of
foreign affairs.
The Free State chief passed through
London last week on his way home from
Switzerland. He refrained from pre-
senting his respects to the new King or
calling in Downing Street, but conferred
ut his hotel with Malcolm Macdonald,
British secretary for the dominions,

safe by freedom of speech, by elections,
by the protection of civil rights under
an independent judiciary, by the making
of laws which determine policies. includ-
ing especially appropriations and tax
measures, by an independent elective
Congress, and by the establishment OF
executive accountability to the Con-
greSS."
In other words, Mr.. Roosevelt feels
that the time has come to create strong
executive department, armed with ade-
quate power to run centralized Federal
Government in an efficient manner, but
so shouldered with direct responsibility
that the Congress and the people can
check the exercise of that power If they
wish.
This set-up is not built to fit the type
Of President usually selected in the past.
The next reform-if this one is accepted
may need to be in the method Of choos-
ing Q Chief Executive for the Nation.

Get Out and Walk"


How do you move along this earth
In quest of knowledge or of mirth?
Do you observe the motor show
And from it in contentment go
In comfort and resplendent pride?
Are you 'mongst those who smoothly
ride?
Do you on ships sail out afar
Or journey in a railway car,
Or in an airplane cruise the sky
Swifter than clouds that lightly fly?
Do you ride on in bliss complete
And cultivate two useless feet
While life is just merry song?
1t seems that way, but not for long.
You'll have to face the Doctor wise
Who says, You need more exercise" !"
For you the engines speed in vain.
You find it useless to complain.
AS you obey the tyrants talk.
The Doctor says, Get out and walk"
Evening star., 1937-01-17

We have had abundant evidence in
these recent years that much of our
philosophy and theory of life has signally
failed. We have talked much Of making
the world safe for democracy" We
have attempted through legislation Of
one kind or another to correct abuses
and to effect salutary changes in our
individual and corporate relations. We
have conceived that we could better
conditions by moving humanity to a
cleaner sty." We have appealed to the
ideals Of altruiSm and humanitarianism,
and with loftiness Of purpose we have
conceived of plans whereby we might
recorder our enfeebled and impaired insti-
tutions. 1t is becoming increasingly evi-
dent that, high as our motives may have
been, we have not attained large results.
We are constantly reminded these days
Of Chesterton's famous phrase: Chris
tianity has not been tried and found
wanting, 1t has been found difficult and
not tried" Auldos Huxley, the English
philosopher. has said that what the
world needs is a new drug that will
abolish our solitude as individuals" and
'give us a glowing exaltation of hap
piness and make life in all its aspects
seem not only worth living, but divinely
beautiful and significant" To his mind
what the world needs is an anodyne,
something to make it forget its pain and
disillusionment. 1t is hardly conceivable
that by such a method tired and dis
couraged men and women could find
permanent relief. So far as our Chris
tian practice is concerned, the chief
trouble is that we have segregated it and
kept it apart from those real and prac-
tical concerns that have to do with life
here and now. We have thought of con-
version as mental change that would
the better fit us for life in some other
world. We have conceived that business
and religion-indeed, life and religion
were separate and unrelated.
The time is now at hand where we
must show our faith by our works; where
we must translate what we profess Of
loyalty to Christ and His teachings in
terms that are utterly practical and that
concern the world that now is. Only
thus shall we meet the demands of Him
who submitted the virtues of the child
as the evidences of fitness for citizen
ship in His Kingdom.

whose department is the cabinet link
with Dublin. Friendly discussion of
outstanding questions ensued. Mr.. Mac
Donald will tell Parliament on Tuesday

Mr.. De Valera is reported adamant

Irish volunteers to the Spanish insurgent
army. Finally there is the question of
union between the Free State and Ulster.
On none of these points is there evi-
dence that the De Valera Mac Donald
parley produced tangible results.
Because of British readiness to grant
the Free State complete domestic SOW
ereignty, and on account of the advan-
tages to be derived by both countries
through cessation of trade war, there is
ample ground for accommodation and
agreement. President De Valera has
won great respect in London by his
statesmanlike leadership. 1t does not
seem likely that he will arbitrarily bar
any accord with Britain that pays heed
to legitimate Irish needs and rights.
John Bulls genius for compromise may
do the trick.
