Arab Says “Needle’s Eye” of
Bible Refers To Wall Gate
PITTSBURG, Kan., Nov. 13. (£>)—
The "needle’s eye” referred to in the
New Testiment is a small gate in
the Wall of Jerusalem, not a sewing
needle, at least in the opinion of
Job Negeim, 23-year-old Arab guide
in the Holy Land, who is studying
music at the Pittsburg State College.
The Biblical passae to which this
modern Job has adduced a new
meaning is in Mark 10-25, wherein
Jesus chided those who ‘‘trust in
riches,” saying: “It is easier for a
needle, than for a rich man to en
ter the kingdom of heaven.”
“The needle’s eye,” says Negeim,
“commonly misunderstood as tiie eye
of a sewing needle, is known to
Jerusalem as a small gate within a
4 larger gate in the city walls. It is
for the use of pedestrians after the
larger gate is closed for the night
for protection. The gate is so low
that an average-sized man must
stoop low to go thru it.”

Minister Says Secret of
Care-Free Life Is In God
CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 13. (/P)—'The
secret of a carefree life is to put it
in line with God’s purposes, declared
Dr. Henry Howard of Melbourne, Au
stralia, in an address on “Don’t
Worry,” opening the nineteenth sea
son of the Sunday Evening Club.
“Christ’s cure for a worried life is
explained in His words: ‘Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness and all these things
(what you eat and drink and wear)
shall be added to you’,” Dr. How
ard said. “Everyone who has stood
up to life has felt its worry, stress
and strain. But the way out from
worry does not lie along the line of
escape from wrork.
“The birds and flowers to which
Christ referred as carefree, are
among the busiest of God’s creatures.
The work translated ‘toil’ does not
mean ‘work,’ but work plus worry.
First of all stand right with Him.
This -will swing life into harmony
by putting it on the rails of God’s
permanent w'ay, and everything life
needs will come along the lines of
fulfilled relations to Him as Mas
ter and Lord.
J. W. Moody, 86 has been retired af

Fine Home-made Movies
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. (JP)—An in

JACK STRUTS STUFF
IN FAR-OFF MEXICO
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. (jP)—Jack
Dempsey is sure strutting his stuff
down in Mexico. Jack is a great
student of human nature and it now
appears that he knows the Latin na
ture as well as any other
Friends of Jack who think he has
gone off his conk with all this “I”
stuff of his, have got to realize that
this is what the greasers want.
If he had gone into Mexico with an
air of becoming modesty, it is dollars
to doughnuts not only that he could
not have a corporal’s guard to see him
go through the motions of fighting
against his sparring partners, but that
some three cent Mexican would have
taken a wallop at him. Those guys
down there have to be kept in their
places.
Suppose he had gone soft on the
chesty stuff? Why, when he offered
to let some Mexican pull and twist his
nose as if it was real flesh and gristle
and not wax, some one would have
taken him at his word, and spoiled
Jack for the movies—save as a comi
cal character, a sort of nasal Ben
Turpin. Let Jack alone—he is mak
ing money.
