NEW YORK CITY-(CNS)-It's just been made official,
ha both Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanea will devote their
full efforts by actually working at the Harlem YMCA
the baseball season They want to and
stimulate interest in young people, especially the felers
Heading the idea is Elfreda Sandfer Wright longtime
friend OF youngsters and teess worker their behalf We
think it's unusual angle curb juvenile delinquency where
regns supreme for Harlem badly of construc
tive projects to aid its stryng youth BY both Roy and
Jackie being young themselves the kids will get terrific
kick from being personally supervised by greatest
guys in baseball
Such program could certainly be carried into other
fessons namely shoWbusness If bandeades who call
city their home would together and cooperate with their
local YIN and head similar group they'd be surprised at both
the response and the tremendous results benefited by the
munity
In this day and age when it is important that youth
grow healthy happy and useful citizens is certainly the
time for the older experienced hands take interest in
building better citizens out of kids who the streets with
nothing do Jackie and Roy will be doing much than
curbing delinquency They will be modng and inspiring
Negro youth into better opportunities in jobs and preparing
businesses of their Such invaluable serv
given unsefishy and for free will certainly endear both
Roy the hearts of all their fans and OF their
doubters.

The Supernatural
In Man
Abdu'I.baha
327 West End Ave.
New York City, New York

The phenomenal world is en-
tirely subject to the rule and con-
troll of natural law. These myriad
suns, satellites and heavenly bod
les throughout endless space are
all captives Of nature. They can
not transgress in a single point or
particular the fixed laws which
govern the physical universe. The
sun in its immensely, the ocean in
its vastness are incapable of vio-
lating these universal laws. All
phenomenal beings-the plants in
their kingdom, even the animals
with their intelligence are natures
subjects and captives. All live
within the bounds Of natural law,
and nature is the ruler Of all ex-
cept man. Man is not the captive
of nature, for although according
to natural law he is being of the
earth, yet he guides ships over
the ocean. flies through the air in
aeroplanes. descends in subnar-
ines;-therefore he has overcome
natural law and made 1t subser-
Went to his wishes. For instance,
he imprisons In an incandescent
lamp the illimitable natural
energy called electricity-a mat
erial force which can cleave
mountains--and bids it give him
light.
All sciences, arts and discover
les were mysteries of nature, and
according to natural law these
mysteries should remain hidden.
But man has proceeded to break
this law, free himself from this
rule and bring forth into the
realm of the visible. Therefore he
is the ruler and commander of
nature. Man has intelligence; Ma
ture has not. Man has volition;
nature is minus. Man has memory;
nature is without it. Man has the
reasoning faculties; nature is de-
prived
II we accept the superstition
that man is but a part of nature,
we are confronted by an illogical
statement, for this is equivalent
to claiming that a part many be
endowed with qualities which are
absent in the whole. For man who
is part of nature has perception,
intelligence, memory, conscious
reflection and susceptibility. while
nature itself is quite bereft of
them. How is it possible for the
part to be possessed of qualities
or faculties which are absent in
the whole? The truth is that God
has given to man certain powers
which are supernatural. How then
can man be considered captive
of nature? Is he not dominating |
and controlling nature to his own |
use more and omre? Is he not the |
very divinity of nature? Shall we
say nature is blind, nature is not |
perceptive, nature is without Volt
ton, and not alive, and then rele-
gate man to nature and its limita-
tons? How can we answer this
question? How will the material
lists and scholastic atheists prove
and support such supposition?
AS matter Of fact they them
selves make natural laws subser-
Went to their own wish and pur-
pose The proof is complete that
in man there is a power beyond
the limitation Of nature, and that
power is the bcstowal of God,

The Characters

Gho Characters
THE characters at first are three:
i God. Satan and a man named
Job. Job II a good man. in fact God
calls him perfect. He is also pros
porous. and thereby hangs the tale.
For one fateful day God and Satan
have 4 conversation about this man.
The Lord inquiries il Satan has seen
him. and how good he is. Oh yes.
Satan says airily. he has seen him,
but he does not think highly Of his
goodness" He Is too well paid
Tor It. He has a large and happy
family. and has immense wealth;
Why shouldn't he be good? Take
away his prosperity and he will
curse you to your face, Satan
eneers.
50 God lets Satan work his
malice on the man. In . ter
rible series Of disasters, ono
rushing on another's heels,
everything Job has owned van
1 ishes. His children are killed
| BY storm and FIRE, and Job IL
| left . childless, penniless man.
| But Job will not complain; his
faith In God still does not waver.
So when next Satan reports to
God, the Almighty asks again: Did
you see my servant Job? He holds
fast to his integrity. All, yes, sneers
the unbelieving flend. Yes, but ne
still has his health. He can have
another family, another fortune.
Make life itself so miserable that
he will long to die, and then you
will see his goodness vanish. then
he surely win curse you to your
face.
So God let Satan do his worst
Do all you can to him, God says,
only leave him alive. And then Job
Is made horribly and painfully i'll,
he cannot sleep for the torture OF
boils covering him from head to
foot. Three Of his friends come to
visit him. For seven days they sit
In silence. and then begins great
debate, with Job on one side and
his friends on the other: Why must
such things be? Why must good
people suffer?
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1948-11-05
Was Job Real?

nON'T ask: Was Job a real char
~ acter, or a made-up one like
Hamlet and Macbeth II is very
likely there was once upon a time
some man by that name who suf-
fered in that way. and that he had
friends. not too sympathetic, who
talked it over with him.
As Hamlet and Macbeth were his
torical characters, whom Shakes
peare used with high art to express
profound ideas, so the author of
job may well have used the trials
OF some man he knew, or knew OF.
to express truths about a problem
as profound and widespread as the
human race. u
For Job most surely Is real:
his local name may be Smith
or Jones, and he may be living
just around the corner from
you. Indeed. sooner or later
every mans name Is Job.
Sooner or later, every thought
full person has TO face the
tragedy Of human suffering:
why must such things be?
