WHO RULES

By T. A. HALL, Milford, Del.
They say the devil is riding high,
That he rides with every passer-by.
For speed, they say, he is hard to
beat,
For he sits, they say. ON the driv-
er's seat.
OF every car that goes the road,
They told me that at my abode.
They told me, too. I'd better stay
in.
For everywhere there was nothing
but sin.
1t was thick as hops, and hopping
fast,
And the devil would rule the world
at last.
1t is probably so. and a little more,
I've heard them tell it oft before.
And l have no reason at all to
doubt.
But l would like to know what it's
all about.
If the devil rules today at all
It's because men and women obey
his call.
He just can't rule in a heart of
love.
That's why he could not rule in
realms above.
The same love he left when he left
up there.
Is here on earth for us all to share.
And if we refuse the love that is
given,
We need not expect any home in
Heaven.
For the love that lifted our LORD
on high.
Is the love we need when we come
to die.
l know the devil is here today,
But he'll not always be privileged
to stay,
For our LORD is coming back
again
To take us home to Heaven with
Him.
To reign with Him a thousand
years.
Where there will never be any
signs or tears;
For sin can never enter there
But this is the place where we
must prepare.
GOD sent His Son down to this
earth.
He was found in a manger on the
morn of His birth.
He lived and loved and labored
alone
Then bled and died our sin to
atone.
There is power in His blood our
souls to save,
# we only believe. and just behave.

HARLEM BEGINS The new YEAR
BY PETER DANA

NEW YORK-The Harlem Of
the books, the newspapers, mag
azines, movies and Of popular
but misinformed fancy, has al
ways been something of a myth.
True enough, this sprawling,
thickly populated area Of New
York is coIorful in its own
right, and lends itself easily to
exaggeration and caricature.
The serious side of this section
Of our biggest city, if it has
been less celebrated than other
aspects, has tremendous social
and political significance.
During the recent holiday
season and in these first days
Of the new year, one notes es-
pecially the sections reaction to
the war and this country's pros
ecution Of it. It is not that Har-
lem is reacting differently from
other populous colored com
munitieS, so much as It is the
magnitude, intensity and artic-
ulateness Of the response to
the present crisis here. PERHAPS
another way Of saying the same
thing is that while, say a move
ment ike the one that has
been built around the March
on Washington" idea may have
originated in Harlem where
there are organized bodies of
opinion to support it and con-
siderable political machinery to
carry it forward. it is q move
ment with an idea that appeals
to the colored population
throughout the nation: and it
is in this sense mainly that
Harlem is SO interesting and in
structiTe a place to watch.

felt interest in, though admit

IT ALL DEPENDS ON Me-!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

The other day & friend who
just returned from England
showed me a poster he had
brought back. The background
is a stormy sky, through which
the sun has broken to illunin-
ate the figure Of a woman
standing with outstretched
arms her hands grasping the
hands Of others on each side.
The other figures are not shown
Just the hands. Beneath is a
strong chain OF single links,
emphasizing the feeling Of IN
counted thousands h o din g
hands. Across the poster is the
line at All Depends on Me"
7 have felt very humble ever
since I saw that poster. This
was no challenging Its Your
Job. It's Up to You. This is Your
War" This was a confession Of
personal faith, q recognition Of
personal responsibility. And it
has made ME think.
Am I facing the fact that this
is my war? It is my way Of life
that is at stake. I would not
want to live in a world that de-
MED those simple virtues in
which 7 believe, freedom Of
conscience and speech, the right
to worship my God according
to my own belief, the sanctity Of
the home, the freedom Of the
individual, the honor Of the
pledged word the governing Of
action by right rather than
might. This is my way Of life. If
it is to be retained, it all de-
ponds on me.
Am I working where 7 can
be most useful in this, my war?
Am I Sinking the job that I
should do because it is tedious.
or because it will interfere with
my accustomed routine? Am I
