ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln was enc of
the president who came up from
poverty to the White House and
the story of his life is, or should
be known by every American.
1t is useless to here narrate the
/ story of his humble beginning,
any grade school student can do
that as well as we.
However, a point not often
considered is that the poverty
Of Linco!n's folks was by no
means anything out of the
ordinary in the days of his
Eouth-there were hundreds of
thousands of young men no
better cr worse situated than he
The point is that Lincoln had
what 1t takes to 90 places and do
things, an extremely rare ability
Tor any age. A youth spent in !
surroundings Of great povartv |
instiIIs a desire FIR better things |
not only for ones self but for all
1t is lamentable that man who is
welI-fiXed is usually blind to
those beneath his station.
Lincoln, naturally was not q
frivoIous-mindcd man and had
donned the unuttcrable sadness
Of the man who knows the
poor and who fears his Coz.
But nevertheless Abraham Lin

occasion take time out and tell
tales of the lumber camp and
backwoods that We're distinctly
property of those places and
quite out of place elsewhere.
On occasion, too, Mr.. Lincoln in
days before he became an i'm
portant political figure enjoy a
! good fist fight.
Lincoln was another of the
tall men who have played so big
Fart in our history. Washing
ton and Jefferson were two
others.
Washington was in some ways
like Lincoln in that when things
dd not 90 off the right way he
would revert to the days of his
youth. Washington, when some
thing got in his hair was addict
ed to swearing. There is ample
evidence that when General
Washington lost his temper he
did so completely and swore so
lrtistically the pigtails of his
staff would amost stand on end.
1t is evident Lincoln was as
human as YOU or l. Giving him
livine qualities is not consistent
With facts.
YET mortality detracts not

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Abundant Life
BY Rev. Charles Page
******+++**$s+***++*+++.*s

May We for a momest look at
a paradox of life as it has ex-
pressed itself in history and ex-
perience. We are told in sacred
literatur that when God wished
to unfold this paradox of life be-
fore us, he used the concrete pic
ture of two gardens. These being
symbolic of the attitudes men
take toward life.
In the one garden, EDEN, we
are shown the beautiful, the holy
happiness, the perfect type of
environment in which man was
meant to spend his days and to
find his life in the truest sense.
We are further shown that
which was beautiful and good
and that which was meant to
help man find life was turned
int evil because of selfishness
and hideous personal desires of
Adam thereby losing his life and
falling. Many are they who take
their, attitudes of life today
from this garden and lose life.
In the other garden, GETH-
SEMANE, we are shown the
greatest tragedy man has en-
dured, the deepest and blacklist
despair the midnight of life, tn
cup of bitterness the ugly the
thorns and thistles of life and
its defeat. There is nothing to
suggest friendliness of the uni
verse in mans struggle to truly
find his life. 1t suggests that life
is vanity and utter chaos. We
are shown how that which was
deepest despair in mans life,
and that which was ugly, was
turned into the beautiful and
meaningful because of the un-
selfish spirit of Jesus.
In the garden of Eden we see
man taking the molding en-
vlronment of his life and
through selfish appetites and
acquistiye spirit converting it in
to something ugly-the losing
OF life seeking to find it in self
ish qualification.
In Gethesemane We see a man
passing though the greatest
tragedy of all time, taking the
ugly, the despairing, the diff
cult, the seemingly impossible,
and converting it into something
beautiful = the finding of life,
losing it in unselfishness and
service to humanity. In one we
see man as he falls and loses
his life, and in the other we see
man as he rises and finds his
life.
1t is not to be doubted that
the first and most magnificent
gift bestowed upon mankind
was the gift of a world in which
he could realize his deepest
possibilities and truly find his
life of beauty and opportunity.

During the last few years
they have helped many worthy
students, some of them having
been from this county. They
have sold Haitian coffee and used
the profit derived therefrom
to enlarge their fund. In each
case, the student helped could
not have remained in school had
he not received their aid.
We therefore hope that every
citizen of the FREE STATE will
buy Haitian coffee from the
AKA sorority.
In buying Haitian coffee you
will not only be helping needy
students at hons, but you will
also be supporting Negroes
abroad. Haitian coffee is raised,
exported and retailed exclusive
ly by Negroes.
In buying Haitian coffee you
will too, be securing the best
product available anywhere at
any price. People who have
bought this product in the past
have always. come back for more.
In buying Haitian coffee from
the AKA sorority you can be
assured that the profit is going
to help worthy students rather
than enrich the alumni rae
keteers who have bled you in
the past for money to establish
a loan fund. =.
If there is not an AKA agent
for this famous product in your
community write to Miss May
belle Smith, BSTC, Bluefield,
or contact the closest member of
the sorority.

Whole Orange Best
For Vitan,in Value

Because whole oranges contain a
large supply Of vitamin C, homemakers
who serve juice instead Of the whole
fruit are wasting more than a third
Of the food value of this fruit, &C
cording to DR.. Jessie E. Richardson,
head of home economics research for
the Montana agricultural experiment
station at Montana State college.
Recent experiments, she said, have
shown that medium size navel or
ange In slices or sections furnishes
about II milligrams of vitamin c. This
is about three-fourths Of the body's
daily requirement of this vitamin.
Investigating the vitamin c content
Of only the Juice of similar orange
revealed that it contained only 48 MILL
grams Of vitamin C. This shows that In
the "juicing" there is loss Of % milli-
grams or more than one-third Of the
original vitamin c content Of the
orange.
