 Russ Finn Pact

BERLIN, March 13.-Today Ger man official circles and the Goer- ing newspaper The Essen Nation al Zeitung, were outspoken in thei, assertion that the new Russo-Fin- nish peace treaty means that Great Britain and France are now con- fronted by a defeat of such enor- nous proportion, to quote the Ma tional Zeitung, That the peoples of the Allied powers can only vaguely conceive the disasterous consequences"
 The German press continued their claim that the new situation in the north has disrupted an Allied plan to circle the German west wall defenses by attacking from the Baltic and the consequent en- tanglement of the Scandinavian countries in the Eastern Europe conflict.

SOULS FOR SALE

Whit would a man give in exchange
for his soul Nothing. What is there
on earth equal in value to the soul p
Nothing. What is there in heaven as
valuable as the soul? - Nothing.
Though God has created man a little
below the angels, he is the only crea-
ture of Gods creation that must work
for his crown; that was bought with a
price; that was redeemed through the
blood;-and yet men surprisingly pos
sessed with wisdom and understanding
will sell their souls for minute gains
and minute pleasures.
Some sell their souls for carnality:
they exchange the everlasting pleas
ures of eternity for the shaded pleas
ures of time. They give their bodies,
to suffering, disease, weakness and
their souls to eternal damnation. They
abuse every phase of the body, cripple
every phase of the mind and destroy
every part of the soul. They sell what
they cannot buy; they are willing to
lose that which they cannot gain and
shorten and destroy that life which
they cannot give.
Some sell their souls for material
accumulations. They pervert every
law of nature, crush and destroy all in
their wake in their wild dash for false
accumulations which some day they
have to give up. They turn away from
the everlasting blessings of eternity
for the minute gains of time,-which
in time shall corrode-be destroyed
and in the end be proven by eternity
as all vanity.
Some sell their souls for false popu-
larity, prestige and fame. They turn
away from a good name in heaven in
search of better name on earth. They
strive to please man rather than
please God; not realizing that all
power lies within God and before Him
and Him alone must all stand in iudg-
ment.
Some sell their souls for false pro-
lection. They are ashamed to acknowl-
edge the everlasting, unmatchable
keeping power of God and seek after
mediums and false spirits, for super
fetal guidance and protection which
in the end leads to loss of mind, of
health, of wealth and of soul. There
is more power in the sign of faith than
there is in all the sulpher, incense or
candle than man can ever burn. There
is more power in the shadow of the
guiding hand of Christ than there is
in all the spirits in all other worlds
known and unknown. There is more

NEW RACE STORE

An opportunity to patronize a race
enterprise is offered Roxbury resi-
dents with the opening of Binn's Gro
Gerry Store, 81 Laurel Street, at Hum
boldt Ave. The store is we'll stocked
with groceries fruits and vegetables
and is conveniently accessible-A real
neighborhood store, where one finds
the proprietor always courteous in the
true spirit of neighborliness
Patrons are assured of satisfactory
goods and service, because of Mr.,
Binn's long experience in the grocery
business. For several years he con-
Quoted a successful grocery store on
fremont Street, South End. Mr..
Binns believes that business offers a
fine opportunity for the race to ach-
ieve great economic success and create
employment for the growing youth.
By patronizing our own plaes of bust
ness he says, we can help solve the
problem of unemployment by creating
new jobs for our boys and girls. This
sort of attitude on the part of Mr..
Binns deserves cooperation.
