PATTERSON GUEST AT
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUB
LINCOLN CELEBRATION

New York March ply James
Boyack for ANP)-Dr. Frederick
Douglas PATTERSON, president of
Tuskegee institute, Tuesday night
became the third head of that IA
med cultural center To receive the
highest social distinction in the
gift of the Republican Party, when
no took his place on the dias with
rs nationally prominent Americans
a squest Of honor at the 23rd an
nual Lincoln dinner given by the
National Republican club at the
Waldorf Astoria hotel here.
The previous Negro guests were
DR.. Robert r. Motion and Booker
T. Washington. Unanimously con-
sidered the most brilliant assem-
bly, ever gather together to honor
Lincoln, Patterson shared the dias
with former Presidet Herbert Hoo
yer, six governors and two United
States senators. all of whom spoke.
Among the others on the dias were
a brevy of Republicans today pro-
minently mentioned as president
ial possibilities in 1910.
Unprecedented also was the two
full hours of radio time made a.
valuable for the occasion by all
three national radio networks to
bring the Lincoln celebration TO
every home in the land.
Besides the country's outstand-
ing Republican s%olons, among the
1900 who packed the grand ball
room of the hotel were many pre-
sidents Of universities and other
distinguished educators, bishops
and prominent clergy, captains of
finance and other distinguished
personages from every state in the
union.
Patterson sat between Col. The
odore Roosevelt Jr. and Col. An
drew B Humphrey. orginators OF
the Lincoln dinners. He was also
seen in serious conversation with
DR.. James Rowland Angel, pre-
sident emeritus of Yale universe
ty who sat at Col. Roosevelt's
right.
In accepting this invitation ex-
tended by john Jay Hopkins,
chairman Of the $25 a plate Lin
coin Dinner committee, Tuskegee's
president apparently had little
conception of the widespread pol
itical speculation which his ac-
ceptance caused in the highest
circles of both parties.
In honor of the occasion, the
management Of the Roosevelt ho-
tel here placed an elaborate suite
at his disposal during his stay. An
hour after his arrival, he was
greeted by a roomful of reporters.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

On the northward journey along
the Greenland coast, the Bowdoin

the great field of icebergs. For a
long stretch the vessel had to bat
tie through masses of packice.
Hearing the crashing and crunch
ing as the bow kept striking against
ice, kennett wondered whether he
could live to tell the tale. The noise
kept on so long, however, that he
grew used to it, and when he lay
down to rest it lulled him to sleep.
The adventures were now hum
dreds of miles north of the Arctic
Circle. They were, in fact, getting
near the northern end of Greenland.
Their most northerly port was a
tiny village known as Etah, and at
this place they were greeted by three
Eskimo men who had come to know
Comdr. Macmillan during a visit he
had made before.

T.. - = Your Eye.
This is what is meant when the
Lord said, How wilt thou say to thy
brother Let me pull out the mote
Ga small splinter) out OF thine eye;
and behold, a beam Ga large piece Of
woody is in thine own eye We
should concentrate on our own sins,
therefore and not on those Of others.
Give not that which is holy unto
the dogs, neither cast We your pearls
before the swine, lest they trample
them under their feet" That means
that you should not talk Of sacred
things to those who will be sacre
ligious or they will treat them with
disrespect, for they cannot appreciate
such.
Then Jesus promises that they who
seek after Righteousness and comfort
shall find it III religion, and they who
knock at the door Of faith, it shall
be opened to them. Surely, He says,
we. who are far from good, will not
give harmful gifts to our children.
What man of you, if his son ask
bread, would give him stone? Or
if he ask fish, will give him a ser
pent?' Then surely our Heavenly
Father, who is all good, will give
good gifts to us when we ask him.
This is the Golden Rule which we
should strive earnestly to follow.

strait is the gate, and narrow is
the way, which leadeth unto life, and
few there be that find it. Meaning
of course, that it is easy to sin, but
to follow Jesus teachings is hard,
but in the end we gain eternal life
by doing it.

Jesus was always telling little

wished to make. Thew ere called
