Presenting petitions signed by
qualified voters as prescribed by
law, former judge Robert S. Mac
farlane & Attorney John B. Shor-
ct filed together for the positions
of directors of the Seattle Public

Shorett announced his candid
acy for the School Board shortly
after withdrawing from the race
for mayor. He is chairman of the

school organization in the state,

think we are something it is then
we are nothing and we deceive our
selves.
God help us to rid our every
heart of deceit in any form, as
we can never enter into eternal
life in the Heavns, with a spark of
sin in our souls. Love God and
all mankind as yourself. These
few words cover all ills of the hui
man soul, whatever they may be.
These days are trying.
There's no denying
There's much of signing,
About our pains.
But birds are winging,
The sky and singing,
And laughter's ringing
Where faith remains.

Somewhat
Expressive
BY Harold HOlifield

The following has been reprinted
from the Post Intelligencers
Voice of the People" column:
ut has been recently advertised
that any single male person with
the ability to type will be given an
opportunity to earn $4,000 per
month providing he passes the re-
quired examination given by the
army recruiting office.
Several capable Negro youths
have recently applied for examin-
ations but to no avail. Why this
job advertised openly to the Amer
lean citizen or is the American
Negro in the eyesight of these Of
ficials a citizen or just a group
to be tolerated. Is not the way
of life difficult enough without be-
ing subjected to such policies of
discrimination

1t is good idea for the colOred
youth of today to keep these prob
lens afloat, keep them before the
minds of the public. Otherwise,
the public might forget all about
them. Some would like to.

Church and Home
By REV. M. MIKKELSEN

Responsibilities are mounting high
er than we humans can reach
Whether you are doctor, nurse
or something else you are inclined te
think of yourself first and the reputa-
ton you are trying to establish wher
suddenly you find your own effort OBJ
structed by negligence or careless
ness over which you have no control
1t is so easy to find faults with others
and condemn boiling. It is so easy to
forget that God is the "husbandman'
who alone knows what branches to
take away. Who of us would know
enough about the intricacies of human
life and the strife and struggle going
on in human minds to be entrusted
with the pruning shear? We are but
branches, all of us, on the same tree
We are far from being blamelesS, we
commit blunders by the score, we
hurt one another at times, we some
times kill, we are painfully incon-
siderate of human feelings, even of
handicaps, and yet, as we blunder
along inconsistently, swollen with
pride and arrogance. we are reminded
of the only thing that is really ex-
pected of us: To forgive those who
trespass against us.
There are problems enough, and
people certainly spend enough time
worrying about these. There is a
story of a man who was quite handi-
capped because he didn't know the
simple art of relaxation. Everybody
told him that he should relax, but
not one told him how it is done.
The underlying cause for all our
problems and difficulties, the reason
for our pride or utter despair, the
reason that some people behave as if
the world is theirs and they have the
whole say about everything while
others are just underlings and in
feriorities, is stated in these simple
words: apart from me you can do
nothing" You may try as hard as
you please, but it cannot be done
No enterprise of ours, how glorious
and promising it may seem, if without
SOl0diiSC, ~ iioS llO
and it is predestined to crumble soon
er or later.
AS matter of fact the entire ques-
tion of the future including prob
lens and all bothers those who have
real faith only very slightly; it's when
we lack the stamina of faith that
our thoughts about the future begin
to bother us. We feel that we must
do something to make up for what we
lack, and, as consequence, become
laborious. Every little act is done
purposely. Nothing really is done
unconsciously, without thinking, in
good faith, trustfully, lovingly. 1t is
done rather fearfully, and so the
problems arise with no prospect of
ever having them solved by our own
effort.
