I that the peace which surpasses our understanding now may jeign in Sit I he world, is beautifully expressed by- I Dr. Henry Van I>yke when he says: "Are you willing to forget what I you have done fon^other people, and J to" remember what other people have | taen are jujst as real as yoa are, and to try fr> look behind their faces and their hearts,.hungry for joy; to vmt that probably the only good reason for your existance is not what you are go ling. to get out of fife, but what you jure going to give to fife; to close your book of compalints against the man agement of the universe, and iookl around you for a place where yo- can I sow a few seeds of happines -are] you willing to do these thingi even for a day?

Jliis was not I in the way of controversy or heresy, but was merely emphasizing what was I already taught in every important theological school of importance in the United States. I. Schollars have been pointing out that there was a progression of dSe- l trine in the Bible, the God of the Testament not having the ideals pre sented in the new.

Lindbergh today saw not only one, bat two bull fights, despite some sixty protests from individuals and humane societies in the United Spates against his thus giving countenance to the Mexican national sport The finest that Mexico can produce in the way of huH fighthog, horseman ship, lassoing, cowboy stunts, native dances and labor parades were mar shelled for the delectation of the popu lar idol. Rodolf Gaona, considered by Mexi cans the greatest bull fighter ever lived, returned to the ring after two years' retirement especially to fight a bull for Lindbergh. He per formed at a "Charro," or lassoing and riding exhibition, in the morning. In the afternoon tbeffier attended one of the regular STuhday afternoon bull fights which always draw great ? crowds, but which broke a record to day by attracting more than 20,000 fans, packing the grandstands to ut most capacity. * Sandwiched in between these, two i-. performances was review of more than 100,000 worfanen who paraded ' ar &e central section of the Mexican capital to "show their affection and admiration for the flying colonel. The Regional Federation odpLabor, Mexi- ^ co's foremost labor organization, which was created and is still dominat ? ed by Moronea. The parade was one of the largest labor demonstrations ever seen in Mexico and the only one ever given fbr any foreigner. "In regard to his attendance t} the ; J boll fight, CoL Lindbergh said that it was impossible for him, while a nation al guest of Mexico, to decline an in vitation to sga?ohe of the country's favorite sports, even though thaj; in vitation was nob part of luV official program. The Mexicans carefully-had kept the bull fight invitation from the official program in order to avoid placing him in an embarrassing posi tion, but had left the time open so J that he might accept the bull ring - management's invitation if he chose/ Ambassador Morrow, who also rc-* cevid a number of protests against / I Lindbergh's acceptance, took the position^thgt it was Lindbergh's per sonal affair and not to be contsrued I asr either approval of disapproval I at bull fitting, but as courteous s conduct on-the part of the nations I ' guest.
