ask your creator for understanding

by others were them in their days
they needed your warning and

you find more consolation in what

Joe Louis is a one man blitzkrieg
Keen and quick as lightning
In the boxing ring
And knocks his contenders out
In a few rounds of every bout,
Or makes them hear the brides

Joe Louis never brags what he

Nor his contenders when Joe
gets through
For when the fight is done
Joe Louis is still the champion.
Joe Louis we all admire
And predict he will retire
The undefeated champion
Beloved by everyone

Is a credit to you and to me;
And future generations will read

SIX YEARS ABSENCE FROM
HER HOME-OMAHA.

An Omaha girl visiting in the

years ago, she went to DesMoines

year and a half later, she is pres

In 1886 Miss Wheeler went to
Philadelphia, where she became
affiliated with Union Baptist
Church. In a few weeks she be-
came vice-president of the BYPU.
During the subsequent years,
MISS Wheeler attended Virginia
Union University in Richmond,
