I Cor. 9:24-27.
(BY WILLIAM T. ELL 18.)
M il) Sunday on** day outlined to
me anew sermon, which he meant
to call hl« "Joky II and Hyde »**r
t »rr*n." and he traced for me the
f.rowth through the fumous fiction of
thlt> Idea of the dual personality.
“And it all goes back," he concluded.
"t( what Paul aaid about the two
natures which he found In himself."
rills'topic carries ua straight to that
subject Every one of Is Is two.
We are all of us pcratnhulatlug bat
t infields. The war above all other
, wars Is that raging within the con-
kciousnens of men and women, be
pveen the higher and the lower na
ture Character and destiny are both
determined by which one of these
two-fold elements wears the laurel
of victory When spirit keeps body
In subjection, then all the graces of
the Christian life are possible; but
4 when body Is on top when appetite
drives conscience and Ind ilgenre
spurns Intelligence then all the
woes of Indulged sin lie in wait

"Shadow boxing' Is a fad In ath
letic circles nowadays Rut Paul
would ha*e none of It. In our lea
sou. with Its forceful figure from the
boxing arena, he cries. "So lox I.
as not beating thr air but I bruise
my bodv and bring It into bondage ".
All of which Is only one way of say
ing that the supremacy of the spirit
Is so Important that If Is worth suf
fering for A price must he puid for
emancipation from the thralldom of
♦he flesh. Spirituality comes not by
mere lsoiratlnn. nor piety t> pin
ing, stem work Is needed. Self-de
nial Is the route to soul supremacy.

There must be vigorous and sustain

ing of the higher forms of literature,

use of prayer, and meditation upon
spiritual themes, then of a surety

Jackson is the leading Negro
lawyer In Virginia, and at one time
was prominently Identified with the
political life of Richmond. He was
a friend of President McKinley, who
commissioned him as a colonel to
takr* part in the Inaugural parade in
1901. In 19or> Jackson was placed
In command of the third civic *li
vision In the Roosevelt Inaugural
parade at Washington, and Mr.
Roosevelt, when h*- visited Rich

office, and from In front of it nd

picture of Gen. IT. S Grant and

Elncoln. besides pictures of all the
oth’r presidents from Washington

Jackson has a vivid recollection
of Gen. Grant, whom he saw thr**-
times, twice as a prisoner of wnr.
During the war Jackson followed his
master, Col. Charles \\\ Dickinson,
of Fitz l.eo's cavalry, as body ser
vant. When lie was captured by
th * union troops In Caroline county
lie asked to be taken before Gen.
Grant There lie begged to be al
lowed to return through the lines
to his master, who. he said. !i * had
left wounded upon the battle field.
G**n. Grant granted him permission
and gave him a pass.
Jarkson says he asked to he al
lowed to lenvr* the federal lines at
night so that he could guide him
self on his Journey by th** stars.
This was allowed Gen. Grant cau
tioned hint, however, that he might
be shot by a picket, and told him
If he was halt'd to stop at once and
give the password, which was,
"Friend of the union."
He started out In the darkness
and soon experienced some nervous
ness, whereupon ho recalled the ad
