By Mrs. Kathryn D. Tillman. The Old Year hath left us With feeble gait and mien Ah, many a burden carried he Within his pack, I ween For some, cups so bitter Twere death to taste their brew, For some such love and joy, As ne'er before they knew. To some the days were drear And dragged along in pain To some each day, so glad They wished for it, again. But blame him not, comrade, The Old Year Servitor, If in the pack he brought Were gifts to bless or mar. Our times are in God's hands, Our lives are in His care The Old Year served from Him The Heaven allotted shade An dafter all we had More sunshine than of shade. So welcome the New Year With hearts with courage fade. HON. LEWIS W. SPENCER, one of Kansas City's most astute political leaders as well as a leader in the fraternal organizations of the State. AN APPRECIATION "Better to have no mind at all than to think only of thyself. God pity the man who never gave his fellowman a lift, who never cheered a needy soul with a kind word or gift. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his own riches is not a good citizen. I hold, no person deserves to be crowned with honor whose life is a failure. And he who lives only to eat and drink and accumulate is a failure, and the world is no better for his living in it." These are the sentiments of Mr. L. W. Spencer, Worthy Master of W. M. Saunders Lodge No. 279 U. B. F., and for many years an inspector in the street department of this city. Mr. Spencer is a doer and not a talker and the splendid reputation he has built up in this community is due largely to the many commendable things he has done for his race. Quiet and unassuming but with all of a positive and determined disposition what he sets his hands to do is usually done with a will. From Past Grand Master Williams, Grand Treasurer Caston and Grand Secretary Pettigrew he received letters declaring that his records and reports for the Grand officers of his fraternity were the most keen, complete, and carefully kept of any records that came into their office an honor of which any man might well be proud. That Mr. Spencer is a worker is demonstrated by the fact that he has added nineteen new members to his U. B. F. lodge since the Grand Lodge last August and on Christmas Day Mr. Spencer sent a substantial cash donation to the U. B. F. Home located at Hannibal, Mo., On the same day he sent to the Orphans' Home, 2446 Michigan, twenty-four tooth brushes, twenty-four packages of tooth paste, twenty-four cakes of toilet soap, twenty-four large apples, twenty-four oranges, twenty-four bananas, and twenty-four Jumbo sticks of candy, a package for each one of the twenty-four children immates of the home. Verily Brother Spencer was fulfilling that injunction of the Master who said: "Whatsoever ye do unto the least of these my children, ye do also untie me." THE REAL CAR. THE REAL CAR.

A reporter for the Sun reached the church at 4:30 and at that hour nearly a thousand people were already in the building and they continued to come by the hundreds until at 5 o'clock when the services began every available inch of space had been occupied. There were more automobiles parked around the church than ever before in its history. Our reporter counted 67 machines at 7 o'clock; all owned by Negroes. Prof. Jackson and Dr. Isaacs surpassed all previous programs by the novel, spectacular and impressive program which was rendered especially impressive were the tableau scenes of Christ-child in the manger in which Mrs. Berry portrayed Mary in a most acceptable manner while the posing of Messrs.

And the other tableau of the gift to the World by Mrs. Perry and Mr. Wilson demonstrates that Mrs. Berry possesses histrionic ability which should be encouraged and her beauty of face and form would attract attention anywhere. All the musical numbers were excellent and the novelty of the electric Star which rose in the far Eastern end of the auditorium and traveled slowly but steadily to the center of the church where it descended over the cradle of the Christ-child, was the most original and pleasing conception that Allen's congregation has ever witnessed and much praise is due the Rev. Dr. Isaacs, who manipulated the machinery by which it was conducted in such a successful manner. The sermon by Dr. Isaacs, though brief, was very impressive. One addition to the church was made and an excellent offering aside from the regular collection was taken for the faithful and painstaking janitor, Frederick Peeler. As a director and organist Robert G. Jackson is absolutely in a class by himself. January 6, 1920, 2nd Baptist Church, 10th and Charlotte Sts. Mistress of Ceremonies..... .....Mrs. Clara E.

Lexicographers define ambition to be an earnest desire of power, honor, preferment and pride. The honor that is awarded to power is of doubtful grandeur and the power that is acquired by ambition is held by a slender tenure, a mere rope of sand. Some conceited fops who study politics more than philosophy call all the laudable desires of the human heart ambition aiming to strip the monster of its deformity, that they may use it as delivery of Heaven to serve the devil in. The former are based on philanthropy, the latter on selfishness. The desire to out-do one followman or have him fall in the estimation of others show signs of deficiency. The summit gained by strenuous efforts without the aid of any one will cause the man or woman who has reached it to stoop and help others. The summit of vain ambition is often the depths of misery. Based on a sandy foundation it falls before the blasts of envy and praise. It loves power and is constantly in danger of explosion by the very element that caused its rise. It cannot rise in a calm but requires a constant wind to preserve its upward flight. Ambition makes the same mistake concerning power, that avarice does wealth, he begins by accumulating it as the desideration of happiness and ends his career in the midst of strenuous efforts to obtain more. Power if gained as a means of enjoyment but often is its full destroyer. Like the viper it is prone to sting those who warm it into life. It endangers body and soul for time and eternity make of a rational man a fool, a self-conceited wight, who is willing to ride or walk over anyone in to power providing he can pass over free. Then let our aim be more lofty than the highest pinnacle ambition can rear. Let our lives be as the cedars of Lebanon though mighty, in strength, yet they bend to the winds sent by the Almighty. Nothing is Holy but God. Let that be the prize you seek.

John 1:1. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Ver. 14. “In the beginning was the Word (Gr. Logos, Aram, Memra), Used in the Targums, or Hebrew, Para- phrases, for God. The Greek terms means (1) @ thought or concepe; (2) the expression or utterance of that thought. As a designation of Christ, Logos, 1s characterized as the second person of the Godhead, as a condemnation of the God-head, ag a condetion of supreme happiness dnd blissfulness. None of the gospel writers touch deeper chords of the eternal mys- terles than the Evangelist John. He was doubtless in the divine order, best fitted for conveying to men those deep truths. Hence he was likened to the eagle by the ancient Church writers, as dest able of all the Evangelists to took fixedly on the glory of the Sun of Righteousness, His flight indeed is 0 lofty and prolonged that sometimes men can hardly follow him, even those gifted with Spiritual vision. In this introductory potion of the ‘Prologue to his gospel the Evangelist emphasises the Godhead of the Re- deemer, ‘The theme in all its fullness is far beyond finite, human comprehen: sion, Man can advance only to the threshold of the divine mysteries here revealed. (1) In him are embodied all the treasures of the divine wisdom, th collective “thought” of God. (1 Cor 1:24; Eph. 3:11; Col. 2:23.) (2) He fs from all eternity, but! especially in His incarnation, hie is| the utterance or expression of the, ‘thought’ of God (John 14:9-11; ol.) 2:9). "The same was in the beginn- ing with God. | “In the beginning” Geneses Denotos the beginning of that movement of] the divine creative energy from which sprang the visible universe, ‘The Evangelists words takes us be-| yond this definite point into the im-| Measurable eternity, “In the begin: ning was the Word,” the “Word, the Logos, was not then call into being. He existed before all worlds.” (John 17:524.) That {9 before time, which measures the vast universe As eternity has no beginning nor end, the Word Logos had no bexin-| ‘ning nor end, (Heb, 7:3.) The Word was made flesh and ‘dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only be gotten of the Futher, full of grace and truth, He did not assume a mere! eppearance of man, Nor did he take to himeolf only’ & body as some other have said, nor was Word simply united with the perfect’ man, Jesus, as Nestorius maintained. ‘He became flesh, He | did not cease to be the Word. But he made the human body which he assumed—a true body and a reasonable soul, one with himself: |s0 thenceforth he was the God-man, Emmanuel, God with us, or God dwelling with us, EQUAL WITH THE FATHER. | Christ's claims to be equal with the Father ought to settle, at once and |torevor, the question of his divisity For if equal to the Deity, then to him belonged the infinite perfections jot all the divine attributes that God possess, | Like the Father he must have pos- sessed a wisdom omniscient, a power almighty, a presence universal, a. | holiness immaculate, a goodness over- shadowing all, a justice without re- spect to person, a truth firmer than the everlasting hills, a mercy reach: ing even the rebellious and a love embracing all man-kind. All the attributes of the Deity clus. tered around the pathway of Jesus like so many burnished orbs, encir- cling the sun in his brilliant career through the heavens; therefore he must have been Divine, ‘The calmness of Christ, in the pres- ence of earth, dignitaries, proclaimed, or proved him to be infinitely above all who yere in authority, The exact fulillment of prophecy concerning him, bors sacred testimony of his just ‘claim to the Messiship. | And again the authority by which ‘he forgives sins wrought miracles, ites him to be more than a mere -/man, ‘The song of the angels at his .|birth, and the voice of his Father ai the Jorden, and on Mount of Trans t| figuration proclaimed his ammaculat -|Sonship. “Truly he was the Son o “| God.” +| “And he proved himself to be infin {tely above humanity, by his work: and words, speaking so far in advance of all of the ages.

Poole was hurriedly get ting ready to go home to spend a few days with his family the mem- bers of Cain Chapel halted him and said: “Reverend, you are in too big ‘ hurry.” The Reverend came to a sudden stop and in a few moments the members had their pastor to know that they loved him by the presentx tion of presents which came by the basketfuls and those who failed to give edibles gave money, not nickels and dimes, but dollars and halves.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1920 REFLECTIONS bition and prompts us to action. The person that grasps every opportunity that comes to them find unbounded pleasure in the doing, for that is where all pappiness lies, in doing one's duty and doing well, which implies a life of usefulness and of worth to the world. Such not lost opportunities, but those that are lost, are beyond reprieve and mus come to naught—we regret them, but we cannot recover them. The scorching of the bleak winds which are tossing the branches of the trees in the forests, is but the summons of great and small, to listen to the funeral knee of the dying year, which shortly will be numbered with the past. But yet there are fond memories that make it dear to our hearts; we saw at spring time the birth of flowers, and we watched with pleasure, the growth of the fields and we heard the gentle rippling of the little rills, as they danced on their way to the larger streams, and as they watered and nourished along their paths the growth and herbage of the valleys. But all has not been to our liking, and some were rioting in the luxuries and blessings that came to them, others were being thrown into the path of devastation, and going down the great sweep of destruction and on into eternity, but through all that it has been our lot to experience, we have considered it our duty which is a pleasure, to praise an all-wise Providence through whom we are able to go from one good unto another. As we move on toward the dying days of the year we shall hear the joyful message ringing and re-echoing throughout the land, and in our hearts: "Peace on Earth—Good Will Toward Men." Nearly two thousand years ago this beautiful message was delivered to the people of the Universe, at the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of Mankind, and it has gone ringing down the ages, spreading and spreading like ripples that follow a stone's descent into the water, until it has stretched from the little stable in Bethlehem and reached the smallest hamlet on the globe. Has its influence been for good? He must be a skeptic who denies the betterment of humanity through the propagation of this gentle gospel. The approach of Christmas finds us all full of the beneficent spirit of that other message—"It is better to give than to receive." To give, not in the sordid sidem that expects a return, but because the giving will bring happiness to a fellow creature and engender good will. As we draw our chairs around our firesides and as we lift from the mantle the great notebook of Father Time, we find there are many vacant chairs, and we read the names as we turn the pages of the old book, of many dear friends who revelled in our merriment last year, but who will be silent this year when we call their names. What shall we say? We can only revere their memory, we can but rejoice in the thought of the possibility of those who have lived useful lives being called to a higher reward. We are also taught that life is fleeting, that mankind, like the days and years, are dying, the lost opportunity dies with the years, but worth and good deeds survive the individual, and live forever.

By Dennis S. Thompson, Bethel, Kanas. The days are dying one by one. We are journeying to that bourn, With silent tread, yea passing on, We are going, ne'er to return. But there comes a new day, New friends to us are given, To scatter sunshine by the way, And light our path to heaven. The day is done, the e'entide appear, The shades of life are falling, Gliding through the vale we hear Some sweet voices, softly calling. The friends that we knew best The ones that loved us most, Have gone unto that sacred rest, They are waiting on the coast. To welcome us they are waiting, Press forward and keep the pledge Anxiou friends for us are waiting, Down by the silent river's edge. —"Friends" (Thompson) To make the most of opportunities that are presented to us from time to time, is probably one of the foremost essentials contiguous to our success in life. There are thousands of people each year, who fail to accomplish to any great extent, from the mere fact that they do not avail themselves of such opportunities as come to them in the way of grasping the small and simple things that are obtainable in their immediate sphere. We are confessedly too prone about turning the small things in our daily lives to account; ordinarily, we reason that we must aim high, and we are forever casting aside the smaller things in life. But can we say we are always right? Admitting the fixity of the laws of nature, we cannot say that we are always on the safe side of this question. When we turn our eyes toward the forests, and view the stately oaks therein; when we cast our glances down the valleys and view the beautiful flowers, we hesitate for the moment in meditation, and reflect that he mighty oak, like the flowers, were at one time small and each had their beginning alike, and in the same sphere. Likewise individuals have their beginning and the fact should not be lost sight of, that from without the small emanate the larger things, and that no great and lasting achievement is possible at a single bound, but it is through the appreciation and better usage of every opportunity that makes it possible for man to mount the steps to success. To such persons as have not spent their time and means in the proper channel during the present year, the opportunity to recover such waste has been utterly lost, and no matter how good their intentions, nor however bright their ideas for another year, this year has been lost and cannot be lived over again. Lost! Lost opportunity! How sad, how painful! The person who makes the largest batch of resolutions at the New Year, is by no means the most successful, but the one who says they are going to take the world as it comes, who says they will handle things barehanded and do his best, are the ones that avail themselves of every opportunity at their command, and the ones who have generally scored at the end of the year. And so it is in all the walks of life; there is not enough concern about living up to our opportunities, and while there are many who see they do not realize their error until too late. It is our duty to God and ourselves to so spend our time and energy, that it may redound to the good of Christian civilization, and to the betterment of society generally. We were not placed in creation to spend our time in idleness; time is golden, and each fleeting moment brings to us something to be done. If not by labor of the hand, it is through the exercise of the mental faculties, and this we find ourselves in a continual state of occupation. Some have asked "Must there be no time for play?" There should not be in the light that many view it. The human system needs so much rest, but not play. There must needs be some pleasure, from whence comes the clear mind and the cheerful heart, which is necessary to a healthy body, and a pleasant disposition, which stirs our am- PIANO, VOICE AND VIOLIN December 15, 1919, to January 15, 1920.

In starting this | plan, care should be exercised in pay- | ing the Colored operatives a rate be- low that formerly paid for their class of work, since paying the new em- ‘ployees less might abuse the idea in the minds of the old employees that it augured ill for them in the future. The exact methods used, would, of course, vary for each locality and in- dustry. This is something that can be best judged by the employment manager. It is almost needless to state, that the particular type of work given to this class of labor would need to be given eareful con- sideration. This is attacking the so- ‘called Negro problem from a differ- ent angle, and will result favorably for the employer and the public at Jarge. By this means, many firms have been able to supply their needs from the community, without import- ing any labor from afar, and with- out friction or dissatisfaction on the part of their old employees. Success depends lagely upon the tact, judg- ment and knowledge of human nature possessed by the employment man- ager. Colored Men as Mechanics. Colored men have long been used in many foundries as molders, labor- ers and at other sundry employment, but at present more are being em- ployed than ever before. They have also been used as carpenters, machin- ists and blacksmiths in small num- bers. In fact, the openings in more lucrative lines has in many places caused a shortage of Colored labor for purely unskilled work. There are many things that can be done by Ne- gro labor in the average manufac- ‘turing plant. Among punch press operators, drill press operators, semi- automatic machine operations, clean- | ing castings, chipping and filing cast- ings, rough grinding operations, buff- ing and polishing articles to be plat- ed, trasporting material. Colored Women in Industry. For the operation of light semi- automatic machines, light _punch presses or drill presses, Colored | women can be used to advantage. In the garment making industries and for the weighing and packing of com- | modities industrial managers would | be fortunate in employing them and | would get a very desirable type of | employee. Married women in many cases would be glad of this employ- | ment, since it would give them an op- portunity to supplement the earnings of thefr husbands without making it necessary for them to be away from home during the evening meal hour. Especially would this be so where the working day is eight hours. Where the work is not of a heavy nature, Colored women have been employed as janitresses with very satisfactory results. An interesting case where they have been employed at a new task, is by the Yellow Cab Company of Chicago, where they are car washers and renovators. Speak- ing of the results obtained, the night manager says they are 100 per cent more efficient than men. “They waste no time, they are quick and accurate, and they turn out a clean car every three minutes. The business of car washing has been systematized, each woman washing a particular’ part. When a car has run the gauntlet, it is clean as a whistle.” In using this new labor, it shoule |be remembered that the department |heads and foremen can influence for ,| success or failure.

Dunham Company, Marshall- ‘town, TA: Tt has been said that “The solution of the conflict between capital and tbor awaits the recognition of the sw of equal reaction by both stock- folders and employees.” This law is, That every act of ours reacts to our advantage or disadvantage according to whether it helps or harms all par- es affected.” The present war has brought sbout a shortage of labor in this country. And while it is necessary ‘hat ail of the available men of mili- tary age and ability be used by the zevernment to the required number, yet the industries must be kept in operation, In fact, in many cases production must be above normal. In he face of such cricumstances, it is not surprising that the employer has heen at his wit's end to supply the abor necessary to produce the re- <uired quantity of commodities. As a means of supplying the nec- essary labor, we have seen many ases of women supplanting men at arious occupations, However, the jure of clerical work, a broadening field now opening up to women, will limit the supply for certain other classes of work. In other eases, too, aid men are doing the work of boys. n spacking of the performance of ese men it was said: These men were all from modern industry's dis- sard. They had been unable to keep pace, but when they were set at the boy's work, they showed many de- irable qualities that the boys had lacked. The fimr feels that these old men are well worth the larger com- pensation which it had to pay to get them.” This is attacking the prob- Jem of old age insurance from a dif- ferent angle, and will work out to the mutual advantage of both parties. Despite the above mentioned expedi- ents, for certain classes of unskilled and semi-skilled Inbor, employers are confronted with labor shortage. Social Needs and Business Needs, In solving his labor problems the employer, who considers from all an- gles, is only exercising the foresight that is essential to future success in the conduct of his business. ‘The old men are a big social problem, and the elimination of the old-age problem is highly desirable from a civie stand- point. And, after all, the solution of most civic problems devolve on the industries of a community. Hence, ‘the advisability of an employer real- izing the relationship of civie quos- tions to business. ‘There are other civic problems respecting employ- ment, that employers can now take steps to eliminate while at the same time supplying themselves with steady, reliable employees.
