We are not writing about Joe

~| Louis, the ~heavyweight champion

of ~the world, the ~greatest tighter
of ali. times, We cdtiid write plen
about this physical, moral
e: or but We are
~to write about the man and

{mind behind his. physical power.

Joe Louis is no ordinary: man; he
has made his profession, and has
set Up an outstanding example for
men of all. professions. to follow in
rising: from the bottom to the top
He ~has set a telling *exaimple for
~all times to.come, that ought to be
a living evabiation for the youth
of his race. It matters not whether
their chosen field is in the pulpit,
ischoolroom, medicine or law; he
has taught mankind that a man
can reach the top of his profession
without a scandal and live after he
reacbes the top, a clean and moral
life, as Christ did when He was on
earth and lived in the flesh as all
men do. -

EXAMPLE FOR ALL:

We are not comparing ~Joe's ~life
with that of the Son of God, but
are trying to illustrate by the life
that Joe lives that other professional men can reach the top and
enjoy the confidence and respect
of mankind witheut regard to color
or race without a scandal... His life
is a living example for the preacher, teacher, doctor, lewyer of
