Altruism is an honored word.
Otberism is only recently coined, and has not ~yet become
widely current.in good. speech.
We need, however, a word that
has more inward depth than
altruism usually carries, and
perhaps otberism will eventually take that vacant place.

lived. The problems which he
had to deal with, the conceptions which govern his thoughts
when he lived~~all these must
be understobd before we can
get any estimate of the man
himself. The same sort of imagination is needed to judge the
person who lives next door. We
dare not pounée upon him until
we know all that he has to face.
If we could once feel his quivering spirit and see his inward
struggles, we would not set,
up. our Gold individual judgment: upon him. The real rém(yedy for this hard critical. spirit
{which breaks society up into
independent units is the spirit
of love, the spirit of otberism.

the; ~personality of others immediately creates a new world.
The trouble too often is that
we see all of ithe defects in
sek. and forget our own. We
want to take the mote out of
another person~s eyes while all
the time their is a whole fence
rail in ~our own.: Christ~s rule
is to make oneself perfect before ~one goes to correcting others. ~Let him without sin casi

There is another situation also which should be remedied
if we learn to put ourselves in
the other person~s place, if~ we
have the spirit of ~otberism.~
Christ sums it up.in the proverb about ~casting pearl before swine,~ i.e., giving what is
a misfit. Many of our well| meaning charities are of this
sort? We blunder in our efforts
to help poor needy people, because their point of view has
never been gotten. We do not
live our way into their lives.
There is no fit between.our
gift and their need. They get a
stone for bread.

The. same thing
much of our public speaking.

Many persons have the _ barbarious habit of never imagining the listener~s point of view.
They go on. speaking to us un} conscious of the condition confronting them as the hose pipe
is when the water is turned

_ The Constitution of the United States of America was
adopted. July 2, 1788. It became
effective March 4, 1789,, one
year later. The Constitution of
the ~United

~ the articles of

efirst form of

~The people,
the highest authority known
to our system~,
said President Monroe, ~from
whom all our institutions spring
and on whom they depend,
form it~, It is significant to
note that the preamble of the
Constitution begins with, - 1
quote: ~We the people of the
United States, in order to form)~

a more perfect Union, establish justice,. insure domestic.

published in St. Louis, Mo.

J. G. Taylor Spink, publisher
~of the paper, said Robinson won
the coveted title on merit, and
added that ~the fact that Robinson overcame racial. barriers

Robinson, first Negro to enter the major leagues, began
the season at first base, a position he had never played. before.. Despite this unfamiliarity
with the bag, he developed into
one of the outstanding | first
basemen of the season:

hits and * ' sacrificed successfully
28 times. *. +. ~!

On the basis of averages ur
to Monday, Jackie was hitting,
over.300; had struck 10 home
runs; blasted out 26: doubles and!
five triples. His ~defensive ~play
around first base has shown
remarkable improvement.

Let~s examine the preamble!
of the Constitution closely and
all what it means to the ordinary layman, What does it.
mean to our Presidents? What.
does it mean to our Senate?
What does it mean to the House
of Representatives? It would
seem that to the majority of
these individuals seeking office
to be only a group of flowery
words. Words which: are used
at the appropriate time in campaign speeches and to sooth the
people when it is necessary.
The beauty of. a flower soon
fades. The beauty of oratory is
soon forgotten.

Yet if we were to scrutinize
the Constitution closely, ~ we
would find immediately that it
is the law of the land. Beginning with ~we, the péople of
the United States,~ which simply means all races, creeds, anc
colors. There is.no ~privileged
class, and there should be nc
white supremacy. A more perfect union in this country car
never be tangible until the
people of this country live by
it letter for letter and thes,
must live by all of its princi.

Justice is the quality. of being just, with our fellow. man

a democracy, can only be prac.
