the minute Buttons appeared any,
where near them. The pigs squealed
and ran as far as they could CO..
The calves mooed and ran also. But
the creature who suffered the most
from Buttons was a black and white
cat.
The cat ran just as all the other
animals did, but sometimes he didn't
get away fast enough. Then But
tons teased him numerically. Some
times he dragged the cat all over
the barn lot by the back of the neck.
Other times he contented himself
with darting at him and nipping his
tail or feet, and then lodging be-
fore the cat could hook him with
his sharp paw. The only safe place
the cat had ever found was the top
of the barn, where Buttons kept
him most of the time.
One day Buttons met his match,
however, and in a totally unexpected
way. AS he usually did, he followed
my father into the field where he
was blowing. There he had a merry
time chasing the field mice and 60
pliers. Then suddenly, he spotted a
black and white object. Now any,
thing black and white spelled "cat"
to Buttons. He started in hot pur-
suit. 1t was then that he got the big
gest surprise of his life. For the cat
didn't run Yes, l am sure you have
guessed by now that the "cat" was
a skunk.
Poor Buttons! The skunk wasn't
a bit considerate, and he s~prinkled
the little dog literally with his
odorous perfume. Buttons backed
off hastily, but the damage had been
done. He ran for a nearby pond and
jumped into the water, but the
smell would not go away. Sick and
downcast, Buttons ran for home, q
much sadder and wiser dog.
For many days he stayed hidden
not ever wanting to eat. But at last
one day, ~bedraggled and dirty, he
crept out. The first glimpse of the
black and white cat SEN him scurry
ing into hiding again, and when a
last he came out, he never again
went near the cat.
Many of us could take Buttons
lesson to heart. We often go afte

Thoughts on Life
ssOur Daily Bread
By DR.. JOHN W. HOLLAND

ONE PHRASE in our Lords Pray
er is repeated too often with little
thought as to its meaning: "Give us
this day our daily bread" Most of
us think about the continuation of
daily bread in the future. 1t is a
common falling with us to think
about what we hope to receive,
rather than of what we have.
There is just one day that is ours
today. Yesterday is gone, tomor-
row hasn't arrived, and even when
it comes, it will be another today.
."To live in the now, we know not
how" said a wise man.
In the Sermon on the Mount
Matthew SD, Jesus taught the
sublime truth of living as a child
of God without hatred, rancor
worry, and particularly, without
undue anxiety about the future. He
pointed to the birds and the flowers,
which live and grow with complete
dependence upon the Fathers keep
ing" He was saying in a different
way what was written ages before:
CAS- thy day, SO shall thy strength
be-"

these deficiencies Of our democracy
will also be the twilight of an inst'-
tuition that has mirrowed and
paralleled the progress OF the
Negro race during the last 122 years,
and so this tireless and unrelenting
struggle to remove the blemishes on
our democracy is at the same time
selfliqudating struggle. The more
closely 1t approaches success the
nearer it propels itself to the brink
of oblivion. And If it should eventu-
ally succeed in helping to crate the
kind Of society for which 1t strives,
the Negro Press will have contrived
its own extinction.

will be the beginning of greater
future for those 1t served.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1949-03-12

In a perfect society. there would
be no Negro Press. 1t is painful
irony that the Negro newspapers Of
today could not exist In the kind of
democracy for which they strive.
The realization of equality, which is
the goal of all these papers, would
also be the end of the reasons why
they exist. The principal functions
of the Negro newspapers today are:
1. To report the news, good and
bad, about or peculiarly concerning
the race which is ignored, incom-
pletely reported or distorted by the
general press.
2. To attack, to expose and to
marshall public opinion against all
wrongs and injustices, all discrimi-
nations and inequalities but especi-
ally those adversely affecting the
aspirations Of the Negro.
8. To inspire members of this
minority group to higher aims and
greater deeds, by heralding the &C.
complishments Of Negro individuals
groups and institutions. Because the
society we have produced with our
imperfect democratic machinery is
not a pure product, we have a sub
stantial and almost fully function
ing minority society as by-product.
If the daily newspapers and the
general press fairly and adequate.
ly reported the church and club &C.
tivities, the civic and business news

happenings Of this group. they would
take away the first fundamental
reason why Negro newspapers ex.

justices and inequalities not just
those which, like sin involve no real

fully and sincerely reported, IL the
humble attempts of unlettered mem.
