ATLANTA. Ga.-(SNS)-

Bishop David Fl. Sims. of the
FIRST and Ninth Episcopal Districts
OF the AME Church, fired an ap-
preclatlve audience with exception
al fervor in sermon Sunday
morning at Big Bethel AME
church, of which Rev. d. T.
Bahcock is pastor.
Taking his text from the tenth
verse OF the nineteenth chapter Of
ST. Luke, Bishop Sims chose for
his subject: "Christ's Ministry of
Recovery and Redemption. He
began by outlining present condi
tons IN the world showing how
fear and doubt have gripped mer
and women in every nation. He
said ti1at the world is asking the
church: ITO whom shall we go?o
Stating that education, political
refounations and various phases OF
both have failed to bring solu-
ton. he indicated that the world is
ready to listen to Jesus today. The
preiaCe then went back to the
text and gave a background of the
passage, showing how Jesus on
the road to Jerico, healed the
blind man and called down
zacchas, a publican, in order
that He might spend the night ir
his despised home This latter
incident was cited to show that
Jesus was no respector of classes,
and that he came to "save lost
souls but also things that the
soul had lost"
These things were: lost ideals,
lost enthusiasm, lost courage, lost
vision, lost power, and lost hope.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Pusson Kino Collected Tall Men

Yesterday we spoke of an early
Prussian king named Frederick
William. He did great deal to
start Prussia on the road to building
up the German Empire.
There was an odd hobby of that
king which I wish to tell about
today. He was a collector" Of
tall soldiers. He collected them in
very much the same way a person
may collect postage stamps in
these modern days.
1t is not clear why frederick
wanted tall soldiers. For some
purposes, a short man will make
q better soldier. He is not such a
big target for a bullet.
Yet people often think of large
size as a mark of a soldier. The
idea seems to have been carried
over from the days before bullets.
In welding sword, a tall man
usually had an advantage, He
could reach farther than a man
with arms which were not so long.
When Frederick William was
collecting tall soldiers, the age of
Runpowder had come. Cannon and

muSketS were used on every battle
field in Europe.
The Prussian king called his tall
soldiers "Lange Yungen." We may
translate those words as Tall Boys"
or Long Boys"
To obtain members for this regi-
ment, he sent agents to foreign
lands. They were told to look for
tall men. and to offer them pay
ments of one kind or another to
come to Prussia.
If a tall man would not come,
the agents sometimes laid . trap
for him, and kidnapped him. In one
case a man was placed in . chest
and carried away, but died before
he reached Prussia because there
was no opening for fresh air to
come into the chest.
Word spread over Europe that
good way to please the Prussian
king was to send him tall soldiers.
Knowing this. the Russian car
sent him a present of a hundred
tall men.
The number Of tall men was 1T
one time 2,400. All of them were

West made the most effective in
this case) opening lead-a trump.
Dummy won, and South noted nine
top tricks. A 10th trick could be
won by ruff1ng South's fourth club
m the dummy-but another plan
was available, so South combined
them.
At the second trick he ruffed a
heart, went over to the club ace,
and ruffed another heart. Then he
led a. club from his own hand, West
brilliantly put up the queen and
returned a second trump. This de-
3ense' convinced South that he
would never get the chance to ruff
his last club. for West would surely
manage to take out dummy's lASt
trump.
But the second plan was we'll un-
der way. so declarer won the trump
trick with dummy's queen and
ruffed a third heart. He next laid
down the ace and low diamond.
West could gain nothing by ruf-
fng, since dummy would simply
play the losing ten of diamonds.
And when West discarded, dummy
won and led the last heart for
South to ruff. Dummy's remain
ing trump was the 10th trick.

! LLe
Says:

Hundreds of babies are born each year
in Mississippi, infected with syphilis.
These tragedies can be prevented! III
every expectant mother who has syph-
ills starts treatment before the fifth
month of pregnancy, she will spare her
child from coming into the world at
flicted and handicapped by this dread
disease. To protect against syphilis,
there are several things which every
woman should know and do:
First, she should insist upon COM
plete physical examination before mar
rage for both herself and her prospec-
tive husband. The examination should
by all means include blood test to de-
termne if either has syphilis. This
disease can and often does wreck mar
riage.
Second, as an expectant mother, she
should seek the care of good physi-
clan and insist upon a thorough exam
ination. The sooner she is in his care
the more he can help her and the safer
the baby's health.
Third, should there be any dectec-
tion of syphilitic infection, she should
start treatment Immediately and con-
tinue same without interruption through
and after the pregnancy period to in
sure the health of the child and per-
manent cure for himself.
Fourth, should the mother have syph-
ills, she should be sure that there are
careful periodic examinations and su-
pervison of the baby after birth. Such
examinations are necessary to guard
against possible appearance of the dis
ease at later time.
Informed people now know that syph-
ills can be cured only by competent
treatment at the hands of good ply
scian. Self treatment is often hazardous
and in most instances will serve only
to make cure more difficult. Worse
even than this is the tendency on the
part of uniformed people to listen to
the false promises of cure offered them
by quacks and unlicensed physicians.
The results in nearly every instance
have proved disastrous to the patient
and profitable only to the quack. Trust
your health-life's most precious gift
to no one but we'll qualified physician.
