Qhio ■1 ■ Watch Your Steps We have very often heard the saying “Watrh Your Steps”. There is much in tho saying “Watch Your Steps". Some times we stumble, by not watching sometimes we fall, sometimes we drown sometimes w'e ass burned, and at times we are bind-’d. The saying “Watch' Your Steps”, implies using precaution in our daily activities and In our con versation with our fellowman. If we ^ do not watch our steps we will find ourselves fac'd with unfortunate situ ations. There are those of us who have good jobs v and make good money at time? and because we fail to watch our st p; i- , we ipend it as we make it We do no1 |r: __ ' ■ SUPREME COURT DECISION ► 1 (Continued from page one) I The Court continues: ‘ The crucial que-t.on in the ca»; i is whether the very substant al dif- i ferential between th ■ wh te and col- 1 ored teachers of Anne Arundel County is due to discrimination on , account of race or color. I find as a fact from th; testimony I it is.” The court does not undertake tc specify the^ amount of the salaries to be paid to white or colored teach;rs but the Court enjoins the board of educa *”tion of Anne Arundel County “from 'discrimination in salaries on account of roce or color.” In ffun f 1910, the Fourth Circuit Court of ’Wfcifell at Asheville, N.

We think that when the dollars are being made we must eat all the candy, drink all the soda-water and joy-ride in all the cars and as soon as our money gives out, we stop eating, drinking and riding and then we find ourselves hun gry and walking barefooted and naked Money is plentiful at this particular time and everybody who wants a jot can have a job. Everybody who want' money, can have some if not much we had better watch our steps. Ere long we may be begging.

The Plan Of The Lesson Subject: How a child of God ought tc live in a world which is in the powei of the evil one, and in which he will be face to face with great temptation; and w.th those who would deceive him regarding the truth. 1 John 3:13. Marvel not, brethren, ii j the world hateth you. | 14. We know that we have passer 'out of d-ath into life, beuause we lovi th» brethren. He that loveth not abid eth in death. 15. Whosoev r hateth his brother ii a murderer: and ye know that no mur defer hath eternal life abiding in him 16. Hereby know we love, b-Caure hr laid down his life for us; and we ough to lay down our lives for the brethren 17. But who hath the wor d’s goods and beholdeth his broth T in need, and shutteth up his compassion from hire how doth the love of God abide in him7 18. My little children, let us not love in words neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. 1 d, hn 4:7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love of God; and ev-ry one that loveth is begotten of God, for God is Love. 8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is Love. 9. Herein was th_- love man.fesfed1 re us, that God hath sent His only begot ten Son into the world that we migh live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God. but that He loved us, and serel | ills Son to be the propitation for om sins. 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, wc also ought to love one another. 12. No man hath beheld God at any time: if we ove one another, GOD abideth in me, and his iov ‘ is perfected in u„; .... 13. Hereby we know that we abide in li m and he in me, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14. Ai d we have beh Id and bear witness that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the worid, 15. Whosoever sirs 1 confess that Je sus is the Son of God, God abideth in him. 16. And we know ctrid have believed the love which God hath in u£. God is love; and he that abid-*th in love a bideth in God, and God abideth in him 17. Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in th day of judgement; because he is; even so are we in this world. 18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casleth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he tha1 fecreth is not made perfect in love. 19. We love, because he first love ua 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for- he that lo> th not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love Go-1 who® he hath not seen. 21.

I - * H' ;n. ‘* (Music Features & Photo Syndicate) rHE sales counters of the music business derive their chief sus lenance from Beethoven and other - cld masters. Be lieve it or not, the classics out distance jazz at the cash register. In fact, there are those who state authorita tively that the old masters keep ' the music busi , ness alive. It is i almost like say ing that the sale Louis Reid of caviar is keep fog the grocery business alive, or that U. S. Steel has touched zero, or that Congress had passed a law igainst crooning. It comes under the i Beading of “incredible.” i t Nevertheless, the depression which has affected the sale of pop liar music, has made scarcely a •tnt in the sale of classical com panions. Topping all demands at counters are the works of Beet hoven, with his “Minuet in G” the 'aader. You know how it goes— “tta da DA da dadela da 1*.” Oh well, play it yourself. But not'far behind the “finuet" are Chopin’s W.’altz in D flat major," tehumann’s “Merry I peasant Returning from His Work,” Bach’s i ••Bourree” from his sec on/i violin sonata and 60 Years a Best sener v The life of the most popular dance tunes is limited in this era ot mer ciless radio repetition to three months, but Beethoven has sold well I ft for sixty years.
