POLITICAL PARADE
Useful Mr.. Holt
BY George Rothwell Brown


1t is encouraging to note that
Senator Rush D. Holt, the dyna-
mic boy-wonder from West Vir-
giria, has no intention of quit
ing Washington when his term
as United States Senator expir-
es on January 3.
The Senator has leased his
house here until October, 1941,
which will be a slice of bad
news for the New Deal in
general and the warmongers in
particular.
Young Holt is going out of
the Senate at a moment when he
is rendering to, he country his
most important Service. Nearly
every day on Which the Senate
has met forjsse weeks past he
has been EN- s.k the connec-
tions and ain ations of those
groups in this country who are
doing everything they can to in
volve the United States in the
European war. He will be miss
ed in the new Senate. What
Senator is prepared to take his
place?
Any Senator who tried to do
it would have job cut out for
himself.
The information which Holt
has been placing before the
Senate has not been easy Of
entertainment. 1t has required
an immense amount of research.
Now, most Senator's, when
'ney require research to-be
cone, to form the basis of a
Dill, turn the job over to their
secretaries, or to the special
bureau of the Library Of Con-
gress which was created for
Just that purpose.
Holt is the only Senator. so
far as the writer knows, who
does his own research. II is not
merely that he is indefatigablc
IN hi< labors, that he loves it for
the sake of work.
The boy wonder from West
Virginia prides himself on
never making a statement to
ne Senate that he can rot prove.

oys for strict accuracy, he is |

Life
BY Rev. Charles Page

British preacher and psycholo-
gist made the pertinent sug-
gestion that the greatest task
of Christianity today is the max
ing of Jesus real" to men and
women. Despite our obvious
need of more efficiently organ
lied church life to meet the
demands of humanity, what
men need most is a personal COM
partnership with Jesus: a fellow
ship with Him making of our
lives centers of spiritual beauty,
grace, truth and love.
Whatever we may think of
this suggestion personally, it
is obvious to each of us as we
seek a more wholesome and
abundant life, that we cannot
ignore Jesus. We recognize in
Him moral and spiritual reality
such as no other character of
human history has exhibited. We
recognize Him not as a Master
but the Master of Life and to
live a successful creative life
today, we must become friends
of Jesus and realize something
OF the sustaining power of His
kindling personality.
Often think of that beauti-
full little incident of the New
Testament telling us of the visit
OF Jesus in the home of Mary
and Martha of Bethany. How
Jesus loved to visit in this little
nome - how dear to Him were
thesacred relationships there
how beautiful the characters
that grew there-it was always
an inspiration to the Master to
visit and enjoy this beautiful
home life of his friends.
On this particular visit, how
ever, something significant oc-
Cured. Martha, one of the
sisters, of lazarus who, dearly
loved Jesus was making every
preparation for his comfort
while in the home. At this time
she was preparing a special
meal for Jesus and spared no
pains in seeing that everything
was IN readiness for her master.
Mary, the other sister who low
ed Jesus just as well as Martha.
was not apparently so much in
terested in this phase of the
Masters visit but only sought
to sit in the presence of Jesus
and be lifted to new heights of
spiritual joy.
Martha complained to Jesus
OF Mary's lack of interest in
helping with the work, but
Jesus had this answer to the
problem. Martha, Martha, thou
| are careful and troubled about
many things: but one thing is
needful and Mary hath chosen
that good part which shall not
be taken away from her" II is
this contribution of Jesus that
we offer struggling souls today
So often in trying to live and
do our best, We lose sight of
the essential and become i'm
mersed in a sea of things. Jesus
ioVeS every good thing we do
ana every service we render but
most of all Jesus wants us to
i've in His daily fellowship to
know of His presence and
thru Him to become empower
ed for the greatest task on
earth The greatest souls who
have lived on earth were they
who entered the companionship
OF Jesus and through His spirit
ual touch become the moral and
spiritual cortagion of the world.
May we do likewise.

Negroes gave an Emancipa-
ton celebration at Northfork
Wednesday, and no white man
paid the bill. Usually when Ne
groes get ready to celebrate any
thing in this county a committee
is appointed to bleed white peo-
pie. When the program occurs
more time is spent praising the
l1berality of the good friends
who are paying for it, than is
consumed by the speakers who
are talking on the subject of
the day. o..
The Northfork program was
sponsored by the Elks and
they are to be congratulated
for giving real Emancipation
program instead of the usual
political rally.

HOW BOB TELLER
PITCHES FAST BALL

There's no real mystery about
my fast ball-it's just what the
name implies. Bob Teller says.
But there is little more to it
than just rarin' back and lettin'
her fly.
7 grip the ball as almost
every other pitcher does. across
the seams well forward in the
hand. My usual delivery is
what is known as a three quar-
ters overland. / vary thai de-
livery a littel according to the
batter I'm facing-for in
stance. for a batter with clos
ed stance / use a full over
hand.
ITO throw a fast ball you
must be sure that your stride is
in perfect time with your arm as
it comes around.
Il let the ball 90 from my
fingers just at the time il pass
es my ear. or when my arm is
exteded straight out from my
shoulder. And I grip the ball
Just little more firmly at the
moment preceding release.
8 A good fast ball pitcher must
have strength, but that strength
must be of the graceful, loose
type that let's him get a full whip
into all his patches. my advice
to beginners is to forget curves
for a while. Stick with control,
then work on speed. Control and
speed will win plenty of ball
games.
