husbands and wives and they will
fail us, but Jesus never fails.
Saying, it is not wise to trust
your best friend too far, for he
may some day be your enemy, ma
ny who have trusted their friends
too far, can say, I'm trust have
found treason. But Jesus never
fails, trust Him." He closed with
these remarks, 1--WE trust as we
love, and where we love. If we
love Jesus much, surely we will
trust him much" The message
left us with a determination to
really trust God more.
Sunday evening Rev. Mitchell
preached from Acts IL. Subject,
"Skepticism' People are saying
today, Are these things so?" He
said that the skeptic, in vain at
tempt to be wise beyond what is
permitted to man, plunges into
darkness more deplorable, and a
blindness more incurable than that
of the common herd, whom he de-
spises, and would fain instruct.
When he plunges into the depths
of infidelity, like the miser who
leaps from the shipwreck, he will
find that the treasures he bears
about him will only sink him the
deeper in the abyss.
Imperfect knowledge is lie par
ent of doubt; but thorough and
honest research dispels it. He
closed with this remark, "Skep-
ticism is a slow suicide to both
soul and body"

has handled it most capably and
has developed a Board which is
well representative of the commun-
lty and which has as its major
purpose the conduct of the best
program possible for the people of
the community in which his agency
Is located.
MIR. Squires has always made a
very fine impression In his public
appearances. He is an impressive
speaker and have heard him dis
cuss in public gatherings the ques-
ton of race relations in a most eff
fective manner. His contact with
lay people has been good. His
working relationship with other a
gencies has been quite satisfac-
tory.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Squires are
people of refinement with varied
cultural interests. They are at
tractive and interesting people.
Although we regret very much to
see Mr.. Squires leave Omaha, we
are anxious to see him advance in
his field and to see him have op-
portunities for further develop
ment.
II feel sure that the Seattle Ur-
ban League will find Mr.. Squires
capable of adequately directing its
program"
Other letters are equally COM
plimentary. Mr.. Squires has been
with the Omaha Urban League for
four years. Previous to that time
he held the following positions:
Two years as Boys Work Secre-
tary. Y.MC.A.; Assistant Director
of Summer Camp Activities, Cleve-

membered, was in Seattle last year
attending the National Conference
of Social Work. He spoke eloquent
ly for the Workers Council, SUBJ
shutting for Lieut.. L. A. Oxley,
who was delayed by train wreck.
Mr.. Squires has a most pleasing
personality and is as anxious to
come to Seattle as Seattle is to
have him.
Mrs. Squires will be a valuable
asset to the Seattle community as
she has had seven years exper-
fence as social worker. She is a
graduate of Ursline College for
Women at Cleveland. Mr.. Squires
attended the University of Toledo,
Ohio State University, and did his
