rabbi of the Brooklyn Jewish Center)

to lead and to teach who is not a
descendant from the tribe of Levi
or the tribe Of Issachar. Of Levi.
as it is written, They teach Thy
ordinances to Jacob and Thy Torah
to Israel Of Issachar, IS it is
written, And the children of Is
sachar, men that had understand
ing of the times, to know what
Israel ought to do"
We have to grasp the deeper
meaning Of these significant
words. Surely they are not to be
taken literally, for we know many
great and epOch-maAing spiritual
leaders who were not actually des-
cendants from the tribe of Levi or
Of Issachar. What the Rabbi real
ly meant was that the spiritual
leader worthy of his task must
embOdy in himself the ideals, the
qualities inherent in Levi and in
ISsachar. Like the tribe of Levi,
he must be spiritually and intel
lectually so equipped as to fulfill
the Biblical description, 'They
shall teach Thy ordinances to ia
cob and Thy TOrah to Israel" I'm
less he has that qualification that
distinguish the tribe of Levi, un-
less he is stepped in the TOrah-
the classic Jewish culture, unless
he is familiar with the teachings
of our ancient literature, he can
not win the respect of the masses
of our people, nor can he hope to
become an influence in moulding
or directing their lives.

History of Clayton's Industries

1t seems that Clayton sprung up
around the railroad, and has re-
manned a railroad town. Before
the railroad was established, Smyr-
ma and Clayton had a disagreement
of where it should be-" Finally
Clayton won the verdict. Now,
most of Clayton's eight hundred
inhabitants are railroad men.
1t is not only noted for its means
of transportation, but also for the
Cannery, Hosiery factory and the
Plant. Hundreds of people are en-
played at the cannery each year,
some Of who mare brought from
the South. The hosiery factory
isn't in operation all the year
around, because there have been
some slack seasons. The ice plant
employs quite a number of people
also. During the summer they are
very busy as more ice is necessary
and many refrigerator cars must
be iced before they can continue
their journey.
In the past few years, Clayton
has grown immensely, although It
is still known as "just a little rail
road town"

HIS TOUCH
IMPARTS JOY
BY Rev. G. M. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

Jesus was man who loved we'd
dings. He entered heartily into the
joys of the occasion. He saw in a
welding the creation of a new fam
lily. He saw in it the handiwork
of God, the eternal joining together
of two souls into a unity which no
man dare put asunder.
1t was because of His apprecia-
ton of the deep eternal meaning of
weddings that Jesus was happy to
attend the one held in Cana of Gal
lice to which He brought even
greater joy by the miracle which
He wrought there.
For there, as you remember, by
the touch Of His divine thought,
Jesus transformed water into wine
and thus turned the wedding from
a social failure into a joyous sue
cess.
The touch of Jesus always i'm
parts joyl

little old woman. She was bent
double, her head almost touching
the ground. Placing His hand upon
her, He commanded: BE thou
Strengthened" His touch seemed
to release some secret spring, for
the woman Immediately stood up
right for the first time in many
years.
Without His presence in ones
affairs, ones life is like raw chilly

Friendship: the Greatest of All Art

All of us at some time or another
try to seek for sympathetic and
understanding comradeship which
lead us into selecting friends. We
need friends, and we need many
kinds of friends, those of our own
age. those younger, and those old
er. 1t would make us very unln-
teresting if we limited our friends
to our own social group. We should
value friendship for what there is
in it, and not for what can be got
ten out of it.
Friendship is derived from the
contacts we have had IN different
experiences. We may have group
of friendly acquaintance, but we
have to know those people better
before making real friendships.
A friendly spirit which we can all
acquire and in being interested in
others and Forgetting our own selves
is the secret of having friends.
BY being courteous toward and
considerable of other people we can
show a friendly attitude towards
everyone whom we meet.
Discovering people and making
friends can be one of the greatest
joys in our life. There are certain
people who appeal to US more than
others. To some we are immed-
lately drawn to, but this attraction
alone will not have the power to
hold us, therefore we have to find
in our friends some common basis
of interests and tastes.
We may want to choose the best
in friendship, but we must be sure
that we are worthy to receive the
best that our friend has to give.
We must also accept the response
bility as well as the privilege Of
friendship, even though it may
mean sacrifice for our friend.
Truth, trust, honesty, loyalty, and
unselshness are the foundation
stones in the building of friendship.

everything. But when He is invit-
ed into ones life, it is like the
flooding of the whole countryside
with a radiant warm sunshine that
imparts life, activity and joy.
When Jesus is present in the var
ious outstanding affairs of our
lives, there is always conferred
upon them a blessedness and a joy
which they otherwise would never
have.
No matter how discouraged you
may be, no matter how hard may

The Pleasures of Spring

Bright, sunshiny days, clear
sky at night, crocus in bloom and
daffodil at their highest period of
budding these are only a few of
the many signs Of spring. 1t is not
that we like spring better than any
other season of the year, absolutely
not, it is because of the fresh feel
ing of the air, the beauty of the
sky and the pleasures of the earth
that seem to combine in one human
wonder.
Wheat comes peeping through
the ground in a stage Of yellowish
green which later turns to beauti-
full blades of moss green waving in
the breeze.
Violets peep through the earth
and before long scatter their petals
of yellow, blue, orchid, white, anG
deep violets over the earth as a
thin blanket.
This blanket does not, like
blanket Of snow melt and vanish,
but withers and become a part of
the earth.
The tulips beautify our lawns
and homes.
The reason most of US like spring
is not because Of the nature of t;
but because we can grow lazy and
call it spring fever"

home. Hopkins scored on an error
shortly afterward. Downes famed
Caesar Rodney scored a trio of
runs in the fifth and again in the
seventh. In the fifth the damage
was caused by an error, a passed
ball, two walks and two hit batters.
In the seventh, Ely again was wild
as he walked two men, allowed a
scratch single while knight and
Hopkins committed pair Of dam
aging errors. Red Everett relieved
Ely in the seventh.
It is significant that not one of

SMYRNA Loses Opener, 7-6

Leading by 81 at the end of the
fourth inning, the Smyrna High
diam ondmen went sky high in the
last three frames and literally gave
Caesar Rodney 7-6 victory in the
opening fracus staged here on
April 18th. The Doerr-men ap-
peared to have the ball game in
the proverbial bag after pushing
across a quartet of runs in the
fourth round, but six glazing mis-
cues afield changed the tide in
favor of the visiting proteges of
Pop Michaels.
In the first inning Downes carted
home the first run of the season,
having reached first on an error
and scampering home on Bob
Jacobs phase blast to center field.
With one away in the second,
Hughes singled, and Buzzy Dea-
kyne duplicated his efforts. Ely
flied out, but Hopkins singled,
driving Hughes into home port.
The Riders" scored one in the
third when Rash, first UP, was safe
on Hopkins erro. Cubbage tripled
to left, scoring Rash.
Smyrna was "hot" in the fourth
and tailed four run. After Everett
grounded out to second. Bodley
doubled, and advanced to third on

a pass. Bodley scored on a double
steal. Ely was safe when Rash

Smyrna Jars Dover, rs

! The Smyrna Eagles gave notice
of their strength last Friday when
they journeyed to Dover and adj
ministered a Us setback to Coach
East's crack aggregation. The Red
and White tossers found them
selves three runs behind when a
sudden shower halted hostilities for
about Is minutes in the second inn
ing. At this point Coach Doerr'S
crew began to paly some real base
ball and STAYED off a late Dover
rally to cop the decision.
/ Dover got away to a fast start
with three runs tailed on a pair of
singles, walk, a wild pitch, a
stolen base and long fly to right
field. Smyrna first denied the
rubber in the third. Jacobs got an
infeld hit, stole second. Happy
Bramble walked. Hopkins hit a
one-base blast, scoring Jacobs and
advancing Bramble to third. Laf-
ferty helped the visitors cause with
4 a balk, sending Bramble home
\ Smyrna drew blood again in the
fourth after Deakyne and Downes
had both struck out. Sheriff Ev-
erett got a clean lick to center and
galloped home on Jacobs double.
The Doerr-men struck twice in
the fifth frame. Bodley drew a
free ticket. Hughes singled but
Bodley was out trying to reach
third. Lee Everett was safe on
Abrams error. Buzzy came
through in fine fashion when he
raped out a scorching two-base
blast, sending Hughes and Everett
across the platter.
Smyrna added one tally each in
the 9Th and 7th innings. In the
9Th, Sheriff Everett walked and
scored on Ruyter's error, while Lee
Everett came in on a sacrifice hit
by Deakyne.
Bob Jacobs continued his assault
on enemy hurlers by getting three
hits out of four trips and stealing
two bases.
