THE BEST WAY to realize our
United Nations ideals is to be
fair and square in scoring the
hits, runs and errors. So far we
have a tendency to overlook our
own errors in human relations.

THE DIAMOND MINES of At
RIGA, as well as other sources of
wealth are being, and have long
been, stolen from the natives,
many of whom are living under
miserable conditions. 1t is all
right to blame the Russians for
crimes, but what about some Of
our own?

WENDELL WILLKTE AWARD
for 1916 has been presented to
ETHIOPIA king Halle Selassie
with the warm commentator Of
President Truman. 1t was the
famous Lien of Judah" who,
addressing the original League
of Nations, foretold all the war
and ruin that has happened. Had
the world heededs the African
king, many lives would have
been saved.
THERE ARE STILL wise Men
Of the East" as typified by Halle
Selassie and Mahatma Ghandi.
We of the West often ridicule
and laugh at their words and
wisdom. Halle Selassie foretold
the fall of the League of Ma
tons and the need for a better
organization which we are try
ing to build now. The WILLKIE
AWARD has been well made.

Charlotte, N. G.
Dearest bereaved ones:
May we express our sincere
sympathy in your hours of great
sorrow. The tragic news brought
intense grief to our hearts as well.
Mrs. Potter, console yourself
with the fact that you lived a
Christian in front of her each
day. I'm sure you did the very
best you could for her in every
respect.
Gladys was one of my best
students. In Sunday School she
was always quiet and attentive
even before she became a Chris
tan. 1 shall always remember
her sweet voice and you must
remember that God needed her
to help the angels sing in Heav-
en-. He has to gather little buds
for his flower garden up there.
I would have come for the flu
neral if I had known it in time.
AS soon las I learned of it my
heart went out to you all in your
sorrow. That night I dreamed I
was back at Baptist Home, stand
ing once more on the platform.
1 saw you sitting there as I used
to, with that same calm, happy
expression. Then a voice seems
to whisper, "She is supremely
happy for she knows Gladys is
in Heaven" The following day I
felt much better.
Since we did not have time to
get flowers, please accept this lit
tie gift in memory of our little
friend and your angel daughter.
May the One who doeth all
things we'll keep each of you in
His tender care.
Your friends,
GERTRUDE AND BILL.

that He lost His Son in great
tragedy and knows how you suf-
fer. We are certain, also, that
your daughter is now in good
hands and that God will care for
her spirit. We hope and pray
that this same great truth will
give you comfort.
We have talked with your SON.
in-law and daughter and know
the terrible grief that is theirs.
They have suffered a great deal
since the accident occurred and
will for a long time to come be-
cause it happened here at their
home. But we hope that they
will realize and that you, too, will
know, that accidents like that do
happen and were we to know in
advance that they were going to
take place we would most GER
tainly take every precaution. But
not knowing this all of us make
mistakes which we certainly
would avoid. We, here, know
that it was something which could
not be foreseen and therefore we
sympathize deeply with the Hum
phries and with you. 1t was one
of those accidents where the
blame cannot be placed because
no one could foresee what would
happen.
May God bless you with His
merciful presence now and give
you comfort.
Sincerely yours,
