are being turned out to face life
and to make living for themsel-
YES. We realize that there are MANY
who will offer advice as to how
these young people will build for
themselves successful careers and
as to how they will gain for them
selves all of the things that make
life worth living. Because we too
are deeply interested in the youth
of our race and because we are al
ways DESTROYS of lending a help
ing hand of giving a few words
Of helpful advice, we offer the fol-
lowing:
There are certain rules of life
that all people who succeed, must
follow. We have found that the
most important rule, the one that
has helped us most, is the simple
rule of discovering what you like
best to do and then finding some
practical way of doing it. 1t has
been said by an eminent psychology
ist that liking your work is the
seed of success and any one who
has planted this seed properly need
only to cultivate the growing life
tree until it flowers and bears fruit.
When you decide to make your lifes
work something that you really
like to do, you have the incentive
for hard, persistent effort which
does not seem like work to you, be-
cause there is so much pleasure
and fun in it.
When you dislike any part of
your work, you will frequently find
yourself conflicting with your fell
low-workers, for without deliber-
ately intending to do so, you are
apt to side-step and shirk this par
ticular part, imposing it on your
associates. 1t has been said that
pleasure is a psychological signal,
set by nature to inform you that
all is well, that you are pursuing
the right course. If this is true, one
can see how easy it is to be sue
cessful when we do those things
that we like and from which we
get pleasure. So, young people, as
you go out to begin your life's
work, why not begin your won sue
cess. Teach yourself to do what you
like which is half the successful
rule and then like what you do,
Whic his the other half Success.
when you achieve it in this manner
will be so easy that you will won
der how anybody can fail.
Other words of advice in build
ing your own future would be
those given by David Seabury the
great psychologist: Dare to be
yourself, don't permit compromise.
Build only on your own plans Re-
member that imagination is magic
when you are it's master. Visualize
tomorrow, then act to make the
picture live. Make your destiny or
it will unmake you.
Sunday, our rowing took US to
Parish Street Baptist Church, one
of our favorite places of worship.
We greatly enjoyed the spirituas
message brought by Evangelist
Colemon w. Kerry, who took his
subject from the 18th verse of the
18th chapter of Matthew Touching
too was the special music rendered
by Mr.. w. D. Davis, gospel singer
1t was indeed a fine thing to see
so many soldiers at this and other
churches Of the city. The presence
of these hundreds of soldiers in
Jackson each Sunday, presents a
wonderful opportunity for the
churches of the city, an opportunity
which we are sure most churches
will make the most of.
Promptly at three, Sunday, we
were among the hundreds who as
sembled to witness the Dedication
Services of the new Soldiers Cen
ter. and we were pleasantly
surprised to see that inspite of the
fact that a number of persons made
themselves very conspicous by their
absence, the spacious Center could
not accommodate the crowd who
did come and who contributed to
making this one of the grandest
occasions in the history of our
town. An occasion on which Jack
sonians, colored and white, met and
rejoiced over the successful realiza-
ton of an outstanding community
development.
This week, we congratulate the
graduates of all the schools and
colleges of the state. We especially
doff our hats to our AlmaMater.
Lanier High school, and Prof l. S.
Sanders, principal. Each year we
have witnessed the graduation ex-
ercises planned by this fine prin-
cinal and we think his method of |
