The movement was taken as evi-

concessions expanding her influence

ing, mot as | viii, but as thou
wilt" and thereby found life.
Jesus faced a hard crue! world
ugly in every respect. But h,
did not set out to salvage, tC
exploit human life. He rattle,
Identified himself with struggl-
ing humanity, and its every
burden became his burden, its
sorrow, his sorrow. He lost his
life in unselfsh defeating his
whole life and nature to the
highest welfare of man. and
he found his life because he dare
lose it in unselfiSh and loving
service.
Between Adam and Jesus the
moral life of every man flows.
From one or the other of these
two we take the attitude we
bear toward life. We either bring
the spirit of Adam-selfsh ex-
ploition, shifting of responsible
ity, and the losing of life, or we
bring the welfare of others ies
bring the spirit of Jesus, unset
fShneSS, taking upon ourselves
the welfare of others, and dedi-
eating all our best powers to the
enrichment of human life,
thereby finding life.
This is the pathway to re-
stored beauty. And the world
awaits a people who will I'M
se!hshly give the best of their
lives to the highest welfare of
all the people.

Hello MCDOWELL Countians,
the men who left WEIGH Feb. 10,
for the induction station at
Huntington are here in Fort
Thomas, Kentucky, having the
rough edges knocked off before
being sent to Fort Hauchuca,
Arizona. We leave here soon for
the far western station, and will
write you from there. By that
time probably we will have some
good interesting news to report.
The boys here are from Ohio,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
They are all proud Of the uni
form and determined to make
their unit the best in the army.
All Of them can imagine them
selves as colonies and generals
leading a charge against the
enemy. 1t my seem strange, but
1T IS nevertheless true that these
sons Of Ham are deeply regretful
that there is no enemy to prac-
tice against.
The food is good. despite the
fact that some o. the fellows in
order to make conversation are
giving the grub down t h g
country, but if they are fair
they will have to admit that they
did not eat so well at home as
they are eating here. The ofic-
ers and old men here are striv-
ing to make the men like here
They even gave scrip to these
former coalfeld spendthrifts.
The scrip is good only at the
pest in which it is issued.
Everybody thinks he will be
sergeant in about a month. SO
later we promise to write Won
about some highly disillusioned
men. One of the boys told an
officer at the induction center in
Huntington that he heard that
a Negro cannot rise in the army.
The officer looked at the Ianky.

They will bitterly complain that
once again America has permit
ted a war to postpone that long
heralded New Freedom. 1t was
postponed by President Wilson
1t would be a tragic disappoint-
ment if that postponement were
repeated today
This observer recently wrote
that our house has not been set
in order any more than it was
in 1917 when we went forth to
make the world safe for demo-
cracy, and that, the usual con-
tributing disabilities f. 10 m
which colored men and women
suffer are not being abated or
ameloriated.
In contrast to those among us,
and all others, it is refreshing
to note that substantial elements
of our citizenship are in no way
heSitant in expressing the same
rpinions - that this democracy
of ours is not the thing it is
cracked-up to be. and that the
ca of the hour is to meet the
responsibilities of the hour by
according to oppressed and sur
pressed minOritieS in America
that justice and freedom and
equality We are all but ready to

other nations - and to meet
these responsibilities NOW.

ing critics is to found in the adj
