Fortunately for Passenger
Vo Utiles Were Broken
As the west-bound express train
thundered through the way6ide
station, u door burst open and a
passenger fell out. Fortunately,
ho landed on a heap of sand, so,
though badly shaken up, he wasn't
hurt much.
The train shrieked to a stop and
the conductor hurried to the side
of the victim.
"Hurt bad?" he inquired.
"No, I guess not," replied the
man. "but what'll I do now?"
"I.et me see your ticket," said
the representative of the railroad.
When it was produced he exam
ined it closely, then:
"It's all right," he said. "This,
ticket allows for a break in the
journey."
The Dark Ages
Most historians place the period'
of the Dark ages between the time
tbe western Roman empire fell in
475 A. D. and the discovery o! the
pandects ? a systematically ar
ranged collection of Roman laws?
at Amalfl, Italy, in 1150, or a pe
riod 01 about sever, ccnturics. The
discovery of these laws led to a
general study of Roman and
Greek literature which overcame
much of the intellectual darkness
which had come with the barbari
ans who had spread over the con
tinent from northern Europe.

ing room we always

ry his output of
thorns. He isn't 100

Passing through
El Paso, Texas, re
cently, the famous
Arizona novelist
asked me to name
the qualities a
champion needs be
GranUand Rice y"n,d?re P^'0"1
ability to do things
?to do things physically better than
others who may still move on beyond
him in other walks of lile.
True champions are not carved
from brawn and bone?not even
from speed and stamina. They
must have something more.
Many competitors may be bigger,
faster and stronger than the field
they face?and yet not quite arrive
at the top, while others with less
to work with may carry the banner
nt stardom well beyond their set
barriers.
"Of course," remarked Mr. Kel
land, "he must have ability. But
ability?plus what else?"
The Top Ingredients
First of all I should say there
must be a love of the game he plays
?the love of the thing he is doing.
The star football player must love
football as a game beyond any other
reward. This goes for baseball,
golf, and every other sport.
It must bring to him the ambition
to excel?through practice, through
hard work, through condition,
through greater concentration.
Davey O'Brien at 150 pounds and
Charlie O'Rourke of Boston college
were far better football players than
most entries who range from 200 to
250, end who are just as fast. Frank
Hinkey, "the disembodied ghost" at
150 pounds, is still a football tradi
tion.
The next two features are natural
knack and mental poise. These are
born in the athlete, not acquired.
All the scientists and all the chem
istry in the world can't supply knack
and mental poise from the outside.
They might wreck nations, but
they can't give man those two
thines.
For example, Bobby Jones hap
pened to be born with the knack
for great golf. He was also born
with the ability to concentrate, and
later he forced himself to taike a
harder beating, on the mental and
psychological side, than anyone else
in his game. He was willing to suf
fer more in order to win.
As Don Marquis once wrote, "You
must suffer to be strong."
There is no easy road to the top
of the hill of fame in sport. There
are no paved boulevards of indolence
and pleasant dreams. Those who
arrive must earn the ascent by hard
work.
And there is no substitute for hard
work. The genius can have his on
and off day. But Tommy Har
mon, for example, was out there
taking aim for 55 or 60 minutes of
every game. And don't forget Tom
my Harmon, always the marked
man, took more than his share of
punishment. But he was in shape
to carry this burden. Condition is
one of the great words from any
dictionary.
Color and Spirit
"What about two other major fac
tors?" Mr. Kelland asked. "I mean
color and spirit."
"What is color?" I asked the
bronzed son of Arizona.
"Color," replied Mr. Kelland, "is
that peculiar and intangible qual
ity that catches the public imagi
nation?the fancy of the mob. I
mean the thing possessed by Babe
Ruth, Bobby Jones and Jack Demp
sey? the three most colorful ath
letes of all time.
"Color is something no one can
explain. But the crowd knows it.
It is never the same in two people. .
But it always has the same result.
And the crowd finds it first of all.
The crowd knows that they like it, !
but they don't know what it is.
"It is something with a direct hu
man appeal. It doesn't mean speed,
it doesn't mean power, it doesn't
mean skill or stamina. It is some
thing that goes even farther than
charm."
"What about spirit?" I asked my
tormentor from 10,000 yesterdays.
"Spirit," remarked Mr. Kelland,
"is the cold fire of competition on
the day you deliver the goods. It
is a combination of enthusiasm and
determination, plus confidence." .

Becoming Frock
Changes a Chair
By KUTH WYETH SPEARS
IF A CHAIR is all legs, angles
and curves in the wrong
places, a slip cover may do as
much for it as a becoming frock
wili do for an awkward girl. The
right color, a dash of style, fabric
cut to bring out graceful lines
and cover defects, and presto?
a new personality for the ugly
duckling!
That was the treatment given a
set of old chairs like the one shown
i here. A two-piece frock was
planned to repeat tones in the wall
paper of the room in which the
chairs were to be used. The bold
stripes nf the putty tan, green and
wine red material gave just the
right contrast with the flowered
pattern on the wall. Narrow green
fringe was used for edging and
the skeleli shows how the two
pieces of the slip cover were
made.

GOLDEN TEXT ? Abstain from every
form of evil.?1 Thassatonlan* 5:22. R. V.
"Responsible for the drunkards of
my community? Not me; I am
against the use of intoxicating liq
uors." Such is the answer Christian
men and women would probably
make if faced with that accusation.
But wait I Responsibility means
more than just refraining oneself or
speaking against "booze" in a
church meeting. Before we finish
the study of our lesson, we may
find ourselves guilty of the charge,
and needing to ask forgiveness, and
see the need of bringing forth works
meet unto repentance. We hear
God's Word telling us:
I. Do Not Tempt Your Neighbor
(Hab. 2:15).
God is very severe in judgment
upon those who tempt others. Of
course He condemns the one who
gives another a drink of liquor.
Nothing could be more despicable
than thus to start a man or woman
on the way to a drunkard's grave.
There can be no question about the
guilt of the one who makes the stuff
and the one who sells it. But be
yond that, those are guilty who
share in the profits from such a busi
ness, who rent their buildings for
the manufacture or sale of liquor,
who vote to legalize its sale or sup
port politicians who do such things;
in fact, everyone who encourages,
condones, or in any way profits,
whether directly or indirectly, from
"the traffic." Are you still "not
guilty"?
II. Do Not Fail Your Brother
(Gen. 4:9-12).
Everyone who says, "Am I my
brother's keeper?" classes himself
with the murderer Cain. Certainly I
I am my brother's keeper. This is '
the positive side of the matter. It
is not enough that I do not tempt
my brother. The question is: "Have
I neglected to do anything that I
could and should have done to save i
him?"
That makes it my positive busi
ness to eliminate every possible
temptation. It means that the
Christian is vitally concerned about
the taverns, road houses, dance
halls, and what not, which entrap
and destroy our young people. It
is not enough to passively lament
their presence; we must actively
seek their removal. It can be done,
and is being done all over the land.
III. Do Not Offend Children (Mark
9:42).
The Lord holds His followers to
a high measure of responsibility re
garding the children whose lives
they touch, whether they be in their
own family, or in the community in
which they live.
Children are innocent until their
elders make th^m otherwise. In
their innocency they are trustful and
ready to learn. Their knowledge of
the right way to live is received
from their parents and other grown
ups, and (mark it well!) they learn
more from what we do than from
what we say.
Here is the question each one of
us should honestly face right now:
"How does my daily walk influence
the children who see me?" Let us
answer that in the light of verse 42.
IV. Abstain From Evil?Judgment
io rominf fMark 9:43-48; I Thess.
5:22).
The Christian is called to abstain
from "all appearance of evil" or, as j
the Revised Version puts it, "every
form of evil"' (I Thess. 5:22). That
may call for the sternest kind of
self-denial (Mark 9:43-47), but why
not? We do not follow a Christ who
sought for Himself the way of ease
or comfort. He gave Himself in
complete and willing sacrifice, going
even to the death of Calvary's tree
for us. Do we then falter and seek
the easy way?
The fact that there is a day of
judgment to come is something to
remember, but may we not stress
the other side of the truth. "The
very sternness of our Lord's stric
tures regarding the importance of
self-denial only serves to enhance
the value of the privilege we enjoy '
in being citizens of the kingdom of
God. If it is worth the loss of a
hand, a foot, or an eye to gain that
life, then, in view of the great value
we place on these members of our
bodies, how great must be our di
vine privilege." (Dr. John W. Brad
bury).

Migrating Ilirtln
According to the bureau of bio*
logical survey, few migrating
birds fly higher than 3,000 feet and
only occasionally do they reach
5.000 feet. Most birds like to fly
beneath the clouds, und the ma
jority of the species migrate at a
height below 1,000 feet. In bad
weather they may fly much lower,
so low that at times they striko
buildings. Pirds have, of course,
been seen at much higher alti
tudes, but these records were es
tablished in mountainous countries
where the birds fly a comparative
ly short distance above the land.
The bureau explains that migrat
ing birds fly at low rather than
high altitudes by the fact that the
lessened buoyancy of air at great
heights makes flying diflicult.
