LIFE AT A
GLANCE
BY RAY LAWRENCE

Did you ever meet a chronic
grumbler, and all you heard was
times are bad, everybody is stupid
but him, and all the family is
against him, and nothing is right,
not even the time of day on all
the clocks in town? Let me tell
you these kind of folks seem to
generate trouble and if you hang
around with them long enough,
you may find yourself in the same
frame of mind.
They say happiness is state
of mind, and you can be as happy
in the wilds of Africa and Rorneo
as you can on New York's Broad
way at 42nd Street. o we'll, the
modernists say there is a little
matter about environment-it does
much to create that contented
feeling, that Freedom is all you
need for good nights sleep. Of
course those residing in the hot
beds of the Ku Klux Khan may
tell a different story.
Human thoughts are moving
feverishly all the time, just like
a worm in hot ashes. 1t takes
a person all their, days to be able
to tell the difference between the
good things that is best for you,
and those which tend to destroy
you. 1t is the latter that seem
somehow to ease into your mind
in spite of all you can do.
If you are man and racking
your brain trying to figure out
what women find to talk about on
the phone so long, try keeping
silent in your favorite barber shop
on Saturday afternoons and listen
to the Cabling and panning dished
out by your own sex. You might
change your attitude about youl
wife, sister or mother digging ur
some dirt about some of the mem
bers of the sewing circle. Yes
sir, there is a very few of US who
can escape the urge to pan some
body at times.

Jesus Is Coming Sooner Or
Later; Be Ready

Later; Be Ready
A one sided Law is like ship at
With a hole ramed in one side
No Coast Guards can be found
you see
No Place on the sea to hide.
We all might as we'll see it right
Love comes before Heaven will
bless
Money gives you blessings here on
earth
But love gives you eternal life.
Jesus said to love one another
He didn't mention no certain race
You can not enter Gods Heaven
we are told,
Because you have a bright face.
Your heart it must be bright with
love
For your soul to inherit eternal
rest
The Saints will inherit Gods Heav-
en- you see
In He'll there no one blessed.
Some are ruling Gods world we see
Care nothing for the unable or
poor
Get all their blessings on this side
Now where do they expect to go.
No one can enter Gods Heaven
Without the Love of God to start
You've got to get ready on this
side
With no hatred in your heart.
You cannot hate your brother on
earth
And say you love God on High
The Bible tells us hate no one
SO you see it must be a lie.
Prosperity has gotten into Gods
house
And loosing sight on Christ
Most people are bursting after
money
And care nothing for their life.
Some are robbing the poor of all
they have
And shering the Lambs to the skin
No wool they have to keep them
No shelter for them to get in.

Inadequate depth perception -

of all women, and is not considered

'Some cases, especially among
school children, require a combi-

HIS WORD

The Seven Seals of st. John, the
prophet Daniel, wherein the four
forms of the SPHINX, the sun, the
word, the light of men, Jesus, con-
soles and instructs the seer. The
prophet beholds sea tossed by the
four winds of heaven, and beasts
differing one from another, come
out of the depths of the ocean. The
empire of all things on earth was
given them for a time. Two times,
and the dividing of time.
They are four who so come forth.
The first beast, symbol of the solar
race of seers, comes from the re-
gion of Africa; resembling a lion
and has eagles wings. The heart
of man was given it. The second
beast, emblem of the Northern con-
querers, who reigned by iron dur
ing the second age, was like unto
bear. 1t had three ribs in the
mouth of it between the teeth of it;
images of the three great conquer
ing families, and said unto it;
"Arise, devour much flesh"
After the apparition of the
fourth beast, there were thrones
raised up, and the ancient of days,
the Christ of Seers, the lamb of
the first age, was manifested. His
garment was of dazzling white
ness; his head radiant, his throne,
whence came forth living flames,
was borne upon burning wheels; a
flame of swift fire shone in his
contenance; legions of angels or
stars spanked around him. The
judgement was set. The allegorical
books were opened; the new Christ
came with the clouds of heaven, and
came to the ancient of days. And
there were given him power, honor,
and kingdom over all people,
tribes and tongues. Amen.

NEA Cancels
Meet In Biased
St. Louis

ST. LOUIS-Plans of the de-
partment of adult education of the
National Education Association
to hold a national conference here
have been cancelled because of the
policy of ST. Louis hotels to not
house colored persons or permit
them to eat in their public dining
rooms.
The conference, which was
scheduled tentatively for next Oct.
1918 and would have attracted
about 500 delegates, will be held
instead in Chicago at a hotel yet
to be designated.
Rejection of st. Louis as the
convention city was the result of
a statement of policy against "Jim
Grow practices" adopted by the
executive board of the adult edu-
cation group at meeting two
weeks ago at the University of
Chicago. The statement said the
conference would mot be held any
place where there is discrimina-
ton, racial, religious OF other
wise."
Miss Susan SimralI, executive
secretary of the Adult Education
Council Of st. Louis, said she was
a delegate to the Chicago meeting
and voted for the statement of
policy because this issue is boil
ing up all the time and it was
time to come to grips with it."

Mans Vision is Best Suited to
Distant Outdoor Seeing,
Saws Optometrist

The use of eyeglasses to see
properly has increased about SO
per cent in the last 80 years, ac-
cording to DR.. Elmer M. Soles,
director of public information of
the American Optometric ASsocia-
ton.
"This does not mean that Amer
leans of a generation ago saw bet
ter than we do today" he said.
Modern living in machine age
requires better vision, and the
public has become more conscious
of its need for proper visual care.
Mature did not intend our eyes
and seeing ability for long periods
of close work indoors under arti-
fetal light" DR.. Soles said. From
countless generations of outdoor
ancestors we have inherited vision
best suited to distant seeing in
natural light.
To-day more of our critical see
ing must be done within arms
length to read, or to work at a
bench or desk. This calls for near
point focusing, which is difficult,
especially for older persons. Con-
sequently, we have more visual
problems. ]"
Among the most common short
conings found among the usually
inefficient, according to DR.. Soles,
are the following:
Farsightedness - difficulty in
focusing for reading or other near
point seeing. This problem in
creases rapidly with age, especial
~ after 40.
Nearsightedness ~ difficulty IN
focusing for distant seeing. Among
these cases are many progressive
myopes." who. unless their condl-
