BRIGHTNESS OF LIFE.
f
^ thought that is winded from a j
friend to a friend
Doesn't seem such a wonderful I
thing;
Yet it carries the prayer of a joy j
without end,
x\nd it throbs with a big, friendly
ring.
I
r. mere word of cheer fn the shadow i
of night,
When discouragement darkens the
way, |
"Will illumine our hearts with the j
glorious light
Of a hopeful and sun-brightened
day.
When failure confronts us and darkens
our goals.
How we long for the clasp of a
hand!
It is then that we cry from the
depths of our souls
For a friend who can just understand.
A bright, cheery smile often gives
us the strength
That we lack in the vortex of strife, j
For it lightens our load as we travel!
x the length
n-f rorA-ladpn nath we call Life.'
Eo we find, after all, that the things j
we thought small
Loom colossal above ail the host;
That the best of God's gifts are the
friends we can cail
To our side when we need them
the most.

The Many Negro Preachers.
From a negro periodical this paragraph
is taken:
"Of the thirty-one college graau-;
ates of Lincoln University, this year,
thirteen will enter the ministry,
seven will study medicine, five will
teach, four will take law, one will
become a farmer and one an engineer/'
The .white churches complain of a j
dearth of young men willing to j
enter the ministry-, but for the ed-i
ucated negro the ministry- continues
the most inviting profession. Why ?
Because the religious emotion is
stronger in a race young in mental I
and social development or because
" - 4-U?
