Thoughts on Life
Check-Mated
By DR.. JOHN W. L

THOSE WHO PLAY CHESS must
give attention to it. 1t is a game
which demands brains, pains and
time. In fact, chess is a war game,
dating back at least to the year 900
A. d. It was invented in Persia and
is now played around the world.
A noted painter in England paint
ed a picture of two men at a chess
game. The men, or pieces, as they
are called, were SO arranged that it
seemed to be a check-mate-that is,
the king could not move without
being taken, which would mean the
end of the game.
One day, Sir Christopher Morley,
himself a great devotee of chess,
walked through a gallery where the
picture was hanging. He looked at it
closely for a few moments and said,
1.-THE artist was wrong. I can win
that game in two moves" A board
was brought in and the pieces were
arranged as displayed in the picture.
MIR. Morley made two move and
won the game.
Often times, life gets us into tight
places where we think our game is
host. In most such cases, if we have
the patience, industry and wisdom,
with a prayer to God for guidance,
we can win out.
AT least upon two occasions the
hate Marshall Field walked the
streets of Chicago hunting for friends
to grant him a loan to save his bust
ness. He simply would not believe
that a department store could not be
made to succeed in the city. He got
his loans, and the great merchandise
establishment that bears his name is
but a proof of the fact that, in life's
game, no man is defeated until he
gives up.
Tt has been well said that success
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-04-01

comes in cans and failure in can'ts.s
In our moral and spiritual hives,
mastery lies in another try"
This story was told to me this
week. One year ago a defeated man,
defeated through drink, was walking
Chicago streets, vowing that if he
could not get someone to hand him
the price of another drink, he would
end it all in the river.
He was on Van Buren, street down
in the loop. All at once he heard
mems voices in song. Something in
the song touched his heart with
memories of better days. Through an
open door he stumbled into the Pa
cific Garden mission. He sat down
detected and defeated among other
men who were travelling the death
road to drink.
Gods Help
A man arose and gave his testi-
mony to the fact that God, through
Christ, had saved him from the hell
he had been making for himself
through drink. With a few others,
he made his way forward upon al
invitation for prayers. Finally, he
threw himself upon the power and
mercy of God and became convert
ed. Friends in the mission helped
him through his first unsteady days
and aided him in getting a job.
In the year that has just closed,
this man has had three promotions,
his family has been united upon a
Bible foundation. 1t was his last
move, taken in desperation, that
brought him his victory over sin.
Someone has said: every saint
has a past and every sinner has 3
future"
Deliverance from evil habits is al
elbow touch of every defeated mar
or woman, if, five will merely
snake the faith move which will
add to our wobbly wills the strong
will and spirit of God.

NEGRO HISTORY WEEK

G. HISTORY WEEP
NATIONAL G History Week began yesterday.
Throughout the United States and the Territories members Of
the race, and others, will Join in celebrating an entire week
commemorated to the achievements and accomplishments
o. the Negro. Until recently such an event would have pass
ed by unnoticed since for us the question of race was con-
sidered not particularly significant. We lived in peace and
quiet, and, forming the great majority of the population, plus
absolute freedom of all intercourse, the question of race did
not enter. Yet, there was a decided disadvantage which found
expression in a system which, for all practical purposes, was
indeed a caste system.
AS WE MOVE closer and closer to our brothers on the
mainland we become aware Of the need to know more about
ourselves, and the role we occupied in the world and Ameri-
can history, and more significantly, the part we are to play
in the present and future worlds. History, it is conceded, is
taught with the main objective of giving hindsight as a basis
for more effective foresight. The mistakes of our forefathers
serve as the. lessons for the present and the future, and as
this continues we seek more and more to make the world a
better place for all to live in. During Negro History Week
emphasis, naturally, will be placed on the work and accom-
p~ishments Of the man, who a mere 70 years ago was a mere
slave.
NO DOUBT in classroom, the lecture platform, and dis
cussion groups will be heard the familiar names of Booker
T. Washington, Frederick Douglas, George Washington Car
yer, Phyllis Wheatley, and the host of others who have dis
tinguiShed themselves, and came to be thought Of as distn-
guished citizens rather than members of a particular race.
And this should be the cue for the trend of thought. More
and more it is becoming apparent that world consciousness
is being focused on the necessity Of living together, and shar-
ing alike, and contributing in the fullest measure, to one
worldMore and more men are becoming aware of the fact
that the world can be a place fit to live in only in SO far as
each and every individual makes his contribution regardless

sets and others gave her an
examination, including Latin,
that they finally conceded that
she had written the poems
herself, one of which declar-
ed that Washington was the
first in war and peace. And
even then it was not until a
London publisher had taken
her works. The series of "firstSo
is imposing, and continued I'M
til the nation today is taking
it in stride. Once the ice was
broken by Jackie Robinson,
many baseball teams signed up
Negroes. And closer home, no
one anywhere, even gives a
second thought to the appoint
ment of Governor HASTE, as
he proves a most efficient adj
ministrator.
NATIONAL Negro History
Week has its place, and it
should be used to the fullest
here, not only to focus atten-
tion on the accomplishments
of the race, but as a stepping
stone to the significance Of the
Negro as a member of the
tDorld community.

striking example of this chang
ed attitude is in the work of
DR.. Ralph Bunche, the United
Nations Mediator for PaleS-
tine, who is working not as a
member of a particular race,
but as the representative of an
international body devoted to
the promotion of peace and
good will over the earth.
PERHAPS it would be too
big a step, and too sudden, to
plunge into this theory but it
is certainly coming, and no
better way can be found for
making it a reality than by be-
ginning here and now. Nation
al Negro History Week should
be observed as a time set
aside to note the accomplish
ments of the race, but with the
bigger, overall view Of mesh
ing these accomplishments
with that of all other races the
world over for a bigger and
better world. However, so
long as men refuse to accept
the force of world movement
and continue to think along
racial lines, it is necessary to
remind the world that the Ne
gro has made his contribution,
has a soul, has accomplished
and is continuing to accom-
plish, and is a factor to be
reckoned with. AS such, then,
he has more than earned his
place in the world.
TO the doubling Thomases,
and the faithless, proof ade-
quate has to be given, and it
is often necessary to create the
first step which shocks. How
ever, after the first step is ia

away, men accept the fact,
and move on about their daily
tasks as if nothing had happen

Principal change in the present

having an elective officer for
one appointed by the governor.
The board chairman would con-
