Violette continued on her Carousing

work had trained him TO study faces.

Not q Business Alan
Succ.1771bs

The announcement last Saturday of
he death Of Mr.. J. G. Repsher a
prominent business man Of this city
caused another vacancy among h e
great leaders of our town and state.
Mr.. Repsher was widely known in
business circles throughout the coun-
try. He was a great fnancier; being
one of the stockholders and directors
of t h e First National Bank of this
city.
He also owned and operated a chain
Of ice plants
1t was ours to know Mr. Repsher
personally and it was a pleasure to
deal with him from a business stand
point. AS philanthropist he seem
ed to have delighted in helping colored
churches.
In talking wi t h Mr.. Repsher, we
often referred to him as an honorary
member of Newell Chapel c. NJ. E.
Church. At no times in the past
eighteen or twenty years have we
known him to refuse O give literally
to Newell Chapel in the liquidation Of
long outstanding debt ON our church.
He was surely numbered among the
most generous doners of our city.

Dear Editor: VIII you please al

ENVY. l see so much of it existing
among our people until l am forced
to say something. Perhaps it will
cause some one to see himself or her
self and change their attitude toward
other people.
Now, envy is a grudge that one per
son has toward another. Say for in
stance, if some one can beat me sing
ing dislike that individual for it, but
that is not Christ-like, because that
may be their talent to sing and not
mine. We should not hold envy in
our hearts against any one, for we all
do not have the same talent. 1t is
| like the three men whom the Master
called up and gave the talents. There
was one who did not do anything,
why? He was afraid he would help
some one else if he used it. So some
of US have a good talent but we are
so envious we won't use it and envy
others if they use theirs. l see it ex-
listing among our leaders. 1t seems
as if they envy the one who can put
the program over.
I was at certain church not long
since and there were several minis
ters there and another minister came

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (ANP)-I
"You have greatly encouraged us
in our efforts to carry on" Mrs.
Mary Mcleod Bethune, founder
and president of the National
Council of Negro Women, wrote
to Max Bedacht, general secretary
of the International Workers or
der. The letter was in acknow-
legement of a contribution of ST.
900 from the order to the work of
the council.
The contribution, Mrs. Beth
une's letter stated, will be used to
set up an international room at the
headquarters of the council in
Washington, D. C. "A room that
will be cultural and beautiful,
where women of all races may feel
free to come and rest and COM
mune with us. We have found it
so difficult TOR women OF certain
types to find place for overnight
in the various hotels because of
race or color. Our international
room will welcome women of all
races and colors."
In making the letter public, Mr..
Bedacht stated that the purpose of
the donation was to further the
cause of inter-racial unity and full
integration of the Negro people into
wartime and postwar America.
"This is cause our order has
had at heart since it's foundation"
