Bigger Thomas and his family,
composed of hi mother sister,
Vera and younger brother, Buddy,
live in Chicago's shm district,
in n one room apartment
The main character, Bigger
Thomas, hated his family because
he knew that they were differing
and that he was puwttless To
felp them He knew that the NOM
ent that he allowed himself to feel
TO its fulness how they lived, the
shame and misery Of their lives, he
would be swept out Of himscII
with fear and despair. So h held
toward them an attitude Of iron
reserve; he lived with them, hut
behind 4 wall a curtain

lhcr spid in a low kind tone oJ

compositions. 1t was written by
him in 1873 after he had given up
tis musical convention work entire
" and entered fully upon his life
work f0r the Master. Mr. Bliss
called the hymn "My Prayer but
thousands in every Christian land
have made it their prayer as well,
and it will continue to voice
heartfelt want of millions in years
to come.
The hymn was special fayorite
Of MIR. Moody and was often
quoted by him As q hymn that
would live in the church Of God,
while the children of God continue
to call upon His name in prayer
At the time Of Mr. Bliss death
he was member Of the LIST Con-
rrcgauonal church in Chicago. The
rastor in an address on the death
IF MFR. and Mrs Bliss, referred
TO the singing Of this hymn as
follows;
"On one # the last occasions
when he was with us, on flying
visit to our city, made during his
work as an evangelist, he came in
late one evening and sat in the rear
If the church. Espying him, ! call
ed him forward to sing the hymn
My Prayer He struck the keys
On the piano, stopped forward, and
reading the words in the latter part
If the first verse, More joy in
His service said; 4 do not think
can sing that as a prayer any
more; it seems to me that | have
as much joy in serving the bless
ed Master as it is possible for me
to bear"

like somebody's poking red not

said again.
As he ate he felt that they were

Sentence Sermons

Every man has in himself con-
tinent of undiscover character
happy is he who acts as the Colum
bus of his own soul.
One Of the p3radoxes Of life is
that while nearly every man
wants to live as long as possible,
be does not want to grow old.
When a man gets rich God gets
partner or the man loses his
soul.
Most folks are unhappy because
they do not get what they want,
The happy folks are those who do
not always get what they want,
but are happy over what they
get.
II we really want a New World,
we must provide the new men to
make it.
The Church is the States hope
Of stability.
The way to gain a good reputa-
ton, Is to endeavor to be what
you desire to appear-Socrates.
1t is the wise head that makes
the still tongue
Never rise to speak unless you
have something to say, and when
you have said it, cease. --Wither-

Morris L0ued
.HMa but She
DoneHim Wrong

NEW YORK, July 22-(P)-
Morris loved Hilda not wisely
but too we'll, and, though he's
stuck with her for life, she's be-
trayed him.
IF it weren't for that two
faced Hilda," moaned Morris
Sterling, I'D be free man to-
day"
But Hilda done him wrong,
and instead of being free, Nor
ris is in Jail, charged with being
a fugitive from justice after es-
Gaping from Bronx magistrates
court last March while awaiting
arraignment on pickpocket
charge.
Morris, So, who has been ar
rested II times since 1909 on
charges ranging from disorderly
conduct to grand larceny, was
as free as the breeze last Sat-
urday when he went to the OPP
enlng OF the New Camden, N.
j., race track.
The only trouble was, he
took Hilda along. and, follow
ing his usual custom, was anus
ing his friends by making Hilda
dance when along came James
Doyle, Philadelphia detective,
who thought Morris looked lit
tie familiar.
Too late, Morris buttoned up
his shirt, but the sleuth yanked
it open and there on the fugi-
tive's chest - the only identi-
fication Doyle needed to make
sure of Morris identy - was
Hilda, tattoo of shapely
nude whom Morris might better
have named Delilah.
