making an effort to save his home
for his year old son. Please per-
NIT me to state some facts that
I have known this worthy man of
God since 1 was boy. He orig
mated Boys Club of IL Jewish
boys. 1 was Secretary-Treasurer
of it and Rev. Swancy spent his
time and money on it, trying to
make us better citizens for the
community in which we lived. We
had picnics and parties given by
our people who had built up faith
in him. will say, at all times
each of us were cared for as if
we were his own sons. 1 am sure
that his work has not been con-
fined to any certain race of peo-
pie.
am making this statement, so
that the people can see that he
has cast his bread upon the wa
tiers of life and is entitled to all
the support of every good Ameri-
can.

When grown they would not depart
from these principles, clarifying
the world with peace on Earth. !"
we would then display Emblems
of our Savior for Easter as those
who are of Christ have crucified
the flesh, with it's affections and

and walk by the spirit. They are
not DESTROYS of vain glory, provok-
ing one another, nor envying one

the marks of the Lord Jesus, which
could and should easily serve as
the Emblems of Easter, showing
forth the fruit of the spirit. When
he assembled, he left His Holy
Spirit with those who accept Him
as their personal Savior. We have
as Emblems of Him: Love, Peace,
JOY, Longsuffering, Gentleness,
Goodness, Faith, Weakness, and
Temperance. With these emblems
there can show forth no CONNER
cial gain, no strife, no envy, no
mockery. In considering our pres

BE not deceived, God is not
Knocked"
Considering the many Emblems
of Easter as have been fashioned
by the commercial world, we are
beginning to realize there has been
wrought great confusion. When
we see an artificial rabbit, painted
egg, candy eggs, new spring bon
nets, or spring ensembles. we are
reminded, Immediately, that Eas-
ter is near. Hence we are accept
ing these various articles as Easter
Emblems.
1t is true that Easter Sunday is
day of expressing Joy, Hope
and Faith in our risen Lord, and
should be treated as such. When
we take in account these lifeless
things irrespective of the cause
of effect, Our Risen Lord, we leave
out the foundation on which is
builded the Joy, Hope, and Faith
Of the world. We agree, these
beautiful articles are all right to
possess when resting on the found
alton, the knowledge of the suf-
fering the death and the ascen-
ton of our Lord, complied to our
daily life, aside from the building
up of commerce, creating a de-
sire for material beauty with emu
lations spreading rapidly, develop
ing envy, strife, and hatred: edu-
eating the new world in material
substance, with little or no thought
of our Savior.
There are many children in our
cities whose parents or elders take
time every day to read the entire
comic section, also these same
persons will tell of how rabbits,
eggs, and lilies feature in the
Easter Season, building of creating
excitements to emotionalize the
whole lives of these children prim-
ing them for the lives they are
sure to lead Train a child in the
way he should grow, when he is
grown he will not depart from it."
Think what peacefulness, humble
ness, agreeableness, and longsuf-
fering could be instilled in the lives

and all efforts at settlement have been
costly disasters.
And if today France and Holland
and England still MAINTAIN colonies IN
South America, it is mostly because
no one else wants this land and it is
cheaper for the United States to let
those foreign countries administer
these regions than for us to do so.
Wherefore we close both eyes to the
Monroe Doctrine when we look at
that part of the map and wish the
owners JOY.
Further towards the south lies
Brazil. considerably larger than the
United States and in parts still un-
known to the White Man. Alas, Brazil
too. in the interior. suffers from cllma-
tic conditions which make the country
unfit not only for the White Man but
also - it appears - for those native
Indians who live there and who be-

There is still lot Of room tor white
settlement all over South America,
for the number of white inhabitants Is
comparatively small. But we no longer
live in the year 1899. The mixed popu-
lations of these countries, intelligent
by nature and now beginning to enjoy
all the advantages OF a widespread
education, no longer are willing to let
the white stock lord it over them alter
the manner of the good old days. And
they may have something to say
about it. But on the other hand. they
realize as we'll as the rest of us that an

the United States.
That. however. is not the problem
that faces us right now. Where can
those others go who are neither famous
scientists or physicians, but just plain,
everyday little people who managed
to get by because they lived in coun-
tries that needed their services as
middlemen? The American continent
offers no open spaces which in their
present condition are fit for this type
of settler. How about the rest Of the
world? We shall try and see next week.

Recently British Guiana has been
mentioned as possible haven OF

If that plan should be tried, | am
sure the Dutch government would be
delighted to open up the whole OF
Surlnam to foreign immigration. AND
the Dutch government could offer not
onlv thousands of square miles OF un-
inhabited wilderness but could throw
in a great deal Of practical knowledge
upon this difficult subject. For 1t can
look back upon almost three centuries
of failure to make anything whatso-
ever out of this tropical jungle. In the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
this colony paid handsomely for IT
self. for then one could import Negro
slaves and set them to work on the
sugar plantations along both SIDES OF
the Surinam River. But after the
slaves had been set free, to disappear
forever into the dense woods of the
south, it has been literally impossible
to get any other sort of immigrants to
work the soil. Javanese have been
tired, and Hindus; and solid Dutch
farmers with hundreds of years OF eN-
perience behind them were offered
every opportunity to create ne" homes
for themselves IN this land which
would be marvelously suited to pur'
poses of agriculture if only it we're not
situated where it is - almost righ'
underneath the Equator. For what
soever man buildeth. a million varieties

Choir Will Sing

In keeping with the policy Of per-
forming at least one major choral
work of an unusual character each
year, the choir Of Hamline Meth
odist Church, under the direction of
John H. Marvill, will sing the
oratorio "Stabat Mater" OF Anton
Dvorak. So far as has been possible
to ascertain, this work has not been
performed here in recent years, II
at all.
Though classed as an oratorio,
Dvoraks "Stabat Mater" does not
follow the conventional oratorial
pattern established by Handel,
Haydn and Mendelssohn, for Dvorak
wrote without use of the recitative,
but his genius for creating beautiful
melody was never more apparent
than in this work.
The performance Of this compost
ton will offer the opportunity Of
comparing Dvorak's setting Of the
"Stabat Mater" with the more widely
known one of Rossini's, which was
sung by the Hamlne Choir on Palm
Sunday Of this year.
This performance by the choir Of
so voices and soloists will be given
Sunday, May a, ut I pm, and win
