Health with Key to the Scriptures,
Mary Baker Eddy has penned the
inspiring lines, Beauty is thing
OF life. which dwells forever In the
eternal Mind and reflects the charms
OF His goodness In expression, form,
outline, and color" True beauty,
grace, and refinement express the
radiance of Spirit. Patience, tender
ness, consideration. forgiveness, JOY,
and purity are included In that
radiance. Beauty knows no flaws,
or bemishes of character; 1t includes
orderliness. perfect balance, mental
poise, and symmetry Beauty means
colorfulnsss OF thought. loneliness,
cheerfuiness, spontaneity. aud har-
monious blending OF ideas. Real
beauty knows Of no quarrels, no con-

Thus does he find the spiritual ability

beauty, who lives 1t, and loves 1t with
all his heart, soul, and mind, finds

time seeking for them. These efforts

True spiritual health Is the eyi-

the eger-presence OF Infinite perfec-

fact that evil possesses no power. for
God good, Is ail-powef; az he un-

Is found In the consciousness OF God s
tender love for His Children. AS we
become conscious OF TIL true idea OF
health, we think less about matter,

Wage Fight Again

Last year the newly organized
United Government Employees, led
by the intrepid Edgar g. Brown,
went before the Congress and got
$200,o00 as wage increases for p
900 of those in the low-paid groups
of the Federal service. This year
Mr.. Brown, not resting on his oars,
has gone after S250,000 increase
FOR 5000 employees in the same
low-paid Federal employee class,
and so far the Appropriation Com
mittee Of the House has reported
favorably the requested increase.
Interesting is the language used
by the Committee III approving the
increase. In one instance (Treasury-
Post Office the report reads. The
committee has earmarked $187,73

Children In Court
BY JUDGE MALCOLM HATFIELD

With approximately 80 per cen.
of all scnool cnnuren OUTSIDE The
church, and our pubic schools anu
colleges prohibited from teaching re-
Iigion, where are such youngsters to
gain knowledge OF religior, NOR
ality, and character?
As long as religious training Is
eliminated from the curriculum,
where are we TO secure our leaders
Of the future2 Without character,
intelslstnGe Is nothing more thah
mockery, for character Is necessary
70 direct intelligence. Unless on.
leaders IN the future possess char
acter along wifh intelligence, there
is grave danger that our present
civilization will vanish.
Therefore, if character is neees-
sary to direct intelligence, why
wouldn't it be feasible for all
churches to unite and insist that
some form Of religious training be
given to the twelve Or fifteen mil
lion youngsters who are not now and
never will be aifiliatetl with any
church? Statistics reveal that most
Of the three million criminals at large
today have had no religious train
ing.
Juvenile judges, educators, and
others interested in eliminating new
recruits to the standing army OF
three and half million criminals
who are preying on honest citizens,
hold little hope fer the future. In
other words, they expect that twenty
cents out of every dollar earned N
the United States during 1853 Will
continue to 90 into the criminal s
pocket or be used in an effective
campaign to halt his operations.
Crime will continue to pay m this
country as long as nothing is done
to prevent boys from becoming de-
linquent. Why spend billions Of
dollars Annually attempting the i'm
possible task of curing the harden
ed offender? The electric chair can
never be substituted for the char
acter training that child must gel
when he is in the high chair stage
Character training should be gain
ed il the home and church. With
twelve million children outside the
church. and Indifferent parents ne
glecting the character training Of
their children, this responsibility
must be accepted by our public
schools and universities.

Promotions


Two housing promotions were
made recently which are important
and significant. The first was that
of Roger w. Flood, who was named
to the managership of the Harlem
River Houses, the four million dollar
PWA project which has been turned
over to the City Of New York. The
second was the naming OF Wilbur K.
Coleman as "sole manager Of the
Paul Laurence Dunbar Apartments.
the three million dollar project de-
veloped by John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
but recently sold BY him to another
concern The new owners OF the
Dunbar Apartments are satisfied
with Mr.. Coleman's long tenure as
baokkeeper, bookkeeper-eashier, and
co-manager. A year ago Mr.. Cole
man and Mr.. Flood were elevated to
the jobs Of co-managers of the Dun
bar, after both had served IN sub
ordinate positions. Mr. Coleman
has charge Of 51l families, and Mr..
Flood supervises, in his new post,
STA families.
The important and significant
thing about the two appointments Is
the origin of the opportunities. Ten
years ago Mr.. Rockefeller, noting ths
deplorable housing conditions in
| Harlem, did an unusual thing
| risked a large sum of money IN the
then doubtful field Of improving
housing conditions for Negroes. +
| was not then foreseen that Roose-
| veit would come along and pour
hundreds Of millions into housing
| But for Negroes the Dunbar was :
starting point, and its affairs were
faithfully administered by Negroes
| throughout Mr.. Rockefeller's owner
ship, so that when the Fedora
Government did take hand in hous-
| ing, d Dunbar man was selected te
run the Federal project, and another
| Dunbar-trained housing man was
elevated to the chief managership o.
the Dunbar itself, pioneer develop
ment in the housing field among
Negroes.
1t is gratifying to the race IN the
East to see things work out this
way, for it is a logical, practical
| and constructive procedure.
