No Housing Problems in
the Land of the Eskimo

The snow house is generally re-
garded as the typical Eskimo dwell
ing, but most Eskimos have never
seen one. In Alaska the natives
build their houses of driftwood logs
and whalebone, sometimes they use
finished lumber, brought in by the
trading vessels. In Greenland,
whalebones and stones are largely
used and snow houses are found
nowhere except in the northwestern
section. Only among the most re-
mote Eskimos of the Canadian Arc
tic is the snow house generally used,
and there are no better snow ma
sons" than the Canadian Copper Es-
kimos, observes a writer in the Los
Angeles Times.
No housing problem arises among
these people. They are nomads the
year round, with no dwellings save
the snow house in winter and in
summer the tent made from skins
"a al AOOl Tic NCC4 u bAAeAN NOI44b4
In some sections Of the Arctic
most Of the summer clothing is
made from the skins Of the seal,
and in winter bearskin is utilized
as well as deerskin.
The Copper Eskimos, however,
use nothing but deerskin, except for
summer footwear, when sealskin re-
places the caribou. The clothing
consists Of two suits-outer and in
ner. The inner is worn with the
hair next to the body, 'fur-lined
underwear" and the top coat and
pants have the hair outside.
The Copper Eskimos eat every
thing that runs, or flies or swims.
Often the meat and fish are eaten
raw, on account of the difficulty Of
lighting a fire, or from shortage Of
fuel. AS a rule they prefer their
meat cooked, but often they like to
eat it raw for a change"

Few indeed are the stories that
will bear retelling or the books that
are worth re-reading. Rare is the
song that we care to hear more than
once. How significant then that we
come to the observance Of Christ
mas each year with hearts full Of
delight in the story Of the birth Of
Jesus, eager again to hear the &C.
count from Gods Word, and to lis
ten with attentive souls for the
sound of the angels song in the
Christmas music.
The birth of our Lord as the in
carnate Saviour Of men is still front
page, headline news, even in 1887.
The glad tidings of his coming still
color the thinking and living of a
world that has gone far from him,
that lives today in hatred and en-
nifty, even while outwardly recall
ing the coming Of the One who was
to bring peace on earth. We have
even gone so far that men feel that
the way to promote peace is to use
the sword. Until the Prince Of
Peace himself shall reign there
may be no other way. But Let US
be certain at this Christmas time
that the tender baby hand from the
cradle at Bethlehem has reached
out hearts and lives, bringing US
peace with God and good viii toward
men.
The first seven verses of our chap
ter relate the coming Of Mary with
Joseph to Gods appointed place at
his appointed time, for the entrance
into this world Of the Son Of God as
the Word that was made flesh
and dwelt among US" John 1:1D.
Our lesson opens with the proclama-
ton Of the blessed good news to the
shepherds in the field. Three
thoughts are suggested for consider
alton. The announcement Of the
coming Of the Saviour; the person
al response Of the shepherds to the
glad tidings; and their immediate
activity in making il known to 9TH
ers.

OTHERS VIEWS
ATTACKS BAPTIST STAND

To the Editor:
If memory serves me right two
years ago the Southern Baptist conven
ton met in st. Louis. E. McNeal
Poteat pastor of a Raleigh church IN
troduced in that convention resolu-
ton that had for it's object the upll1t
of the sharecroppers of the SCUM.
Poteat was termed a radical for try
ing to help the poor workers and the
resolution was promptly voted down.
by men and women assembled there
OStenSibly to further the cause OF him
who said: Blessed are the mercltul.
One year ago the convention met In
a Texas town and the Sharecropper
question was brought out again by
Mr. Poteat, 1 think, but nothing was
cone about it, Notwithstanding those
who composed that convention pro-
feSSed to be the followers OF the
grandest and best teacher the world
ever saw who said: Verify I say unto
you, In as much as We have done it
unto one of the least Of these my
brethren, we have done it unto me-"
Last week the Southern Baptist
convention convened at New Orleans
and as reported in the papers adopted
smoking, Italy's Ethiopian campaign,
and liquor drinking in the District of
Columbia. And when Rev. Charles r.
Bell delegate from Alabama suggest
ed something should be said against
the way sharecroppers and wage earn
ers were being treated he was hOOted
down and told he was not an old time
Baptist. If brother Bells opponents
in the convention are old time Bap-
fist think he should thank God he
is not one. Don't these dear Baptist
brethren who rule the convention re-
member the words of Jesus when he
sad: THAT except your righteousness
shall exceed the Righteousness of the
scribes and Pharissees,. we shall in no
case enter into the kingdom of
heaven"
This Baptis; convention is supported
by the Baptist churches in the South,
while these churches are kept alive
by the contributions of their individ-
ual members. That brings us back
to the fields, the factories, and shops,
where the money has to be earned, yet
this great convention made possible
by the masses never turns it hand to
make lighter the CALLING burden the
producing class has to bear. It's rul-
ers know as every one knows that
those who are fighting the President
in his manly effort to save this peo-.
pie from the tyranical rule of the
supreme Court are the oppressors of
he people, seeking to keep things as
hey have been so they may continue
20 live in comfort while the millions
oil. Had that Convention let Italy's
vars alone and passed a strong reso-
Ition endorsing Mr.. Roosevelt's stand
about the court it would have done
great good towards influencing the
sections of our bourbon Representa-
lives in the Congress to help free the
country fom the grip of the dirty
greedy money lords.
The convention was willing to go
on record against child marriages, but
'entained silent about the divorce evil
which had it's origin with the rich.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-05-19

They should thank God poor people
yet believe in marriage, if the homes
of the rich have become no more than
a harem.
To any one who has followed the
acts of the Baptist in their Southern
convention as 1 have it is plain it is
not in sympathy with the interests of
the plain people of this country. It
is.just as far from being a benefit to
the people as is the political organiza-
: ton that runs our States in the South.
The Baptist convention and the states
are controlled entirely by and for a
small circle of rich men and women
and their puppets. This condition ex-
lists simply because the farmers and
working folks will not stand up and
demand their rights in church and
State. That is a bold statement and
I would not make it if 1 did not see it
all about me in this fight our Presi-
dent is making for the people. Prac-
tically every rich man and church in
the land is against anything being
done with the Supreme Court not
withstanding it is we'll known fact
1T has always been bulWark for or
ganiZed wealth. The church and the
rich are opposed to organi ed labor.
That is to say they do not want the
working man to have fair show. I
know a good many preachers and
know of many more, but I know only
three or of only three who are favor
able to labor. That is a sad COM
mentary on those whom Jesus sent to
preach his word In these times I
1o c1o i,
rot to say some good word for organ
lied labor in every sermon. I feel
sure Jesus would applaude could he
be here. I had rather die as Jesus did
fighting for the great producing class.
than wear royal robes and dwell in
the house of greed. Any preacher
who has not that sentiment should
be ashamed to utter the name of
Jesus Christ I hope Jesus does not
hear the sermon of the average preach
err of this day as he makes his sermon
fit the ears of the rich and powerful
while he knows his words help to
crush the masses. If He hears them
7 am sure he feels constrained to bear
that rugged old cross again up Cal
vary's mount to free this people from
the scribes and Pharisees and priests
Of our time as he did in the long ago.
Wish I had space to write many
columns about the delinquency of the
church, for it is high time someone
was telling the ulain truth about it.
For believe the church should adopt
my religion which is founded on
Jesus words when He said: "What-
soever We would that men do to you,
10 we even so to them"

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

AMEH1CkA Al WAN LA ID -DA4
20 Years Ago Today-A few hours
after the Senate had passed the selec-
tive service act, providing for an
Army of approximately 100000 men
by vote of IS to 8, President Wilson
signed it, but he rejected one section
which would have permitted Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt to raise volunteer divi-
Sions to take to France.
ITO do So" said the President,
would interfere with the ordinary
course of CONSUMPTION, and would
contribute practically nothing to the
effective strength of the armies now
engaged against Germany" It was a
marital blow to T. r.; he never recov-
cred from it. The President had act
ed with military advice. France was
no place for a commander interested
in personal glory. That was why the
war had already dragged on for three
years.
The army bill provided for a selec-
tive-draft on all males from 21 to 30
years Cater the age limits were ex-
pandeO; the regular army to be in
creased to its maximum war-strength
National Guard units to be drafted in
to federal service; an initial force by
CONSUMPTION of 100000 men to be
raised with an addition of 900 9TH
ers if deemed necessary; the pay of
all enlisted men to be increased to a
minimum of $50 a month; sale of Ii
quor at or near army camps to be
prohibited and the morals of soldiers
otherwise protected.
The President set June 5 as the
registration day and the War De-
partment set vast machinery in mo-
ton to carry it out. Secretary of
War Baker admitted that because of
lack of supplies, the new army would
not be called to the colors before
Sept. 1.
That same evening, President Will
son issued secret orders for a divi-
sion of regulators and Marines to be
embarked for France. There was to
