BIBLE THOUGHT
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, if any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and
follow me. * * * For whosoever will save his life shall lose
it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find
it. * * * For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?—St. Matthew 16 chap; verses
24,25, 26.
Charlotte ia on its way for a new Up*Town Auditorium, The city conn*
ctl has approved, and with CoL Kirkpatrick steampoweriug the protect, it
looks like we are on oar way.
One of the finest Mayors in tke World; aggressive, ever alert to the in
terests of Charlotte, a good companion pic<<« for Clarence Knee ter—Mayor
hen Douglas. Publicity and resalts galore.
Keely Grice seems to be in line for tke postmasterahip now—after tke
Washington trip with Colonel Younts, bat this is last Tuesday, and no man
knows what a day will bring. [And he got it.]
“Nine Killed in Week-End Auto Accidents," says headline, four of them
in our bailiwick, which leaves the balance ef the state five. Charlotte and
Mecklenburg are always leaders. “Watch Charlotte Grow.**
Something to be proud of: “W. Rkett Harley, Labor Commissioner of
South Carolina, last Saturday stated that he was proud of the fact that
“there isn’t a single labor dispute or strike ia 8outh Carolina at this time."
Ground Hog: Did he or didn’t he? Same old question; some say he did
and some he did not; sad the good Lord and the weather man will pus
out to us what they see fit, with the Lord having tke bast of the argu

WHAT IS LIFE TO YOU?
T° the preacher, life’s a sermon; to the joker, Ufa'* a jest;
To the miser, life is money; to the loafer, life is rent.
To the lawyer, life's a trial; to the poet, life’s a sons.
To the doctor, life s a patient that needs troatnMnt right along;
Ta the soldier, Itfe’s a battle; to the teacher, life’s a sehooL
Life’s a good thing to the gfarter; it’s a failure to the fooL
To the man upon the engine, life’s a long and heavy grade;
It s a gamble to the gambler: to the merchant life is trade.
Life is but a long vacation to the maw that loves his work.
Life’s an everlasting effort to shun duty, to the shirk;
To the earnest Christian worker, life’s a story ever new;
Life is what we try to make it—brother, what is life to you?
UNION LABELS
Let's make 1941 a Union year. Let’s call far LABELS

else) where a Union Label is not obtainable, buy from « mer
