main sources and two races

good cause. My articles also dis
closed that Divine's phenomenal
success is based upon an infallible
principle, the Principle of Sc
crecy! mo one has ever succeeded
without it; no one has ever failed

Let me add, however, that Di-
vines success believe is due in
great measure to a white man who
has sense enough to keep out of
the spotlight. He is J. Maynard
Matthews, known as John Lamb,

the man who, after Divine had Dor

Across corn rows where pumpkin

And quails are hiding in the grass

CalVin'S Digest

CATHOLICS
FATHER DIVINE
MARCUS CARNEY
Negroes here must of necessity
feel grateful for the sixty-eight
words of Catholic paternity for the
Negro in the recent Encyclical of
Pope Plus XII to American Cath
olics. 1t is not too much to say
that it is exactly what the Pope
should have done; further, he
should have had more than GO
words to say on the Negro in
America. And l am sure that this
great and good man. of Rome would
be the first to agree that one de-
serves no special praise for doing
ones plain duty. l do not see how
Pope Plus XII could have failed
to mention the Negro.
Yet, sixty-eight words from the
Pope, in our favor, weigh more
seriously than volumes by lesser
Lights. 1t will greatly strengthen
the labors of American Catholics
who have been laboring in the field
of interracial relations. No one
can deny that the Catholics in this
country are seriously striving to
establish the Brotherhood Ideal,
regardless Of race.
This is a great contrast to the
action of a Protestant convention,
some time ago, which decided to
make a definite division between
black and white. The Rev. Lor-
EMO H. King fought against it
courageously. During a private
conversation (not off the record)
Rev. King admitted that the white
leaders of his religious denomina-
ton confessed to him that the fear
of intermarriage between black
and white was a fundamental basis
for their advocacy of racial sepa-
ration in the churches. The Cath
olics seem to have no such fear.

There Must Be Sacrifice

There Must Be Sacrifice
No person need expect to rise
Without some form of sacrifice;
1t never was intended.
The highest and the noblest things
Are never reached by floral wings
On which some have depended.
Some cherished thing must be
foreborn,
A heartstring must be cut or torn
Before we reap the glory;
The path up to the top we beat
With aching joints and crimson
feet
This is the old, old story.

Poetic
Thoughts

No Axes to Grind

Right now, in the heat of a po-
litical campaign, We want to make
our position plain so that it will
be remembered in future. The
HERALD is not in politics. We
have our political leanings person
ally, but they are left behind when
We enter the newspaper shop. The
HERALD is privately owned and
owes no obligation to any political
group. We expect to remain
county newspaper.
We take our stand in the firm
belief that a country weekly has
one function. That is to report
the county news-news that does
not get into the daily headlines.
We shall remain true to that pul'
pose. We shall remember what
weekly is for even though it might
be profitable to forget it fos q
time. When the country editor
goes into politics, he treads on
dangerous ground. The side he
picks may be on top for little
while, but the world goes around
and around. Carl Sandburg said
very wisely, "There are not nails
enough to nail down victory"

Evil Effects of Alcohol
Are Harder on Women

DWIGHT, ILL.-Steady rise in the
number of women alcohol addicts in
recent years is largely due to the
fact that women are more suscepti-
BILE to the injurious effects of alcohol
than men, according to DR.. r. E.
Maupin, of the medical staff of the
Kelley institute.
1T is more dangerous for women
to start drinking than it is for men,"
said DR.. Maupin, who pointed out
that the institute had recently re-
constructed it's quarters for women
patients to care for an increasing
influx.
Study of hundreds of cases of
alcoholism indicates that women's
nervous systems react more quickly
to the effects of alcohol than do
mems. It is thus easier for women
to acquire the disease Of inebriety.
''No woman-or man for that mat
ter-deliberately takes a drink with
the idea of becoming drunkard.
Yet once a susceptible person has
acquired an appetite for alcohol, he
or she keeps drinking to satisfy a
craving by irritated nerve cells that
demand the sedative effects OF alco-
hol. Drinking then becomes haz-
ard to health and position and it be-
comes necessary to seek medical
treatment for the disease"
