Riverside to Start Season
Ethel Pritchett Will Make Parachute Leap. THE first balloon ascension of the summer will take place at Riverside amusement park Sunday afternoon. and Ethel Pritchett, local girl, will attempt a series of parachute leaps from the sky. Just how many of the tiny chutes will be carried aloft can not be determined until just before the monster hot air bag is cut loose and soars skyward, as the air currents are dangerous to balloons at this season of the year. Riverside will be open tonight and every other night for the remainder of the summer, it is announced, work having been rushed on all the new concessions until they now are ready for the enjoyment of park visitors. One of the new features for the comfort of patrons at the park this season is an immense pavilion, which- has been built right in the picnic grove.
Sunday School Lesson
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for May 4. Christ's Standard of Greatness. Matt. 20:17-28. BY WM. E. GILROY. D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist THE essence of the teaching of Jesus was in his revelation of human values, and this revelation of human values was itself associated with the eternal. Human values had their meaning because of the divine Fatherhood. Man’s capacities spoke of man’s origin, and man’s origin, throi gh the creative power of a Father of Love, determined the highest values of his early life. The teaching of Jesus would probably be much less easily perceived nd applied if Jesus had not enforced it by striking examples, some of which have been recorded for us in the New Testament in the narrated incidents nd parables. A Contrast in Standards Here in our lesson we have a graphic and dramatic contrast between the standard of greatness that Jes*us had and that force of personal ambition which is more in harmony with the standards that have prevailed in the world. Among the disciples whom Jesus called were two brothers, James and John. We do not know a great deal about them in detail, but we know a great deal concerning their general characteristics and the determining influences in their lives. We have a clue to their character and temperament in the nickname that Jesus gave to them. Boanerges, or Suns of Thunder. Evidently it was a playful reference to their intense and rather stormy nature. We know that they were the sons of Zebedee. but even more important than this is the fact that it is their mother, rather than Zebedee, that stands most conspicuously in the record. Probably if we could look into the history of all great men, we should find that the outstanding hereditary and dominating factors often came from the mother rather than from the father. Our patriarchal type of society has tended largely to neglect the powerful factor of the mother’s influence, for apart even from the element of heredity the mother more than the father has constituted the determining environment of the child. She has guided its early years. Here in the incident of our les-

IT is all in fun and my thoughts about “Sky-High,” the annual Indiana {Democratic Club show, are just in fun. Can you imagine a Heidelberg chorus lifting steins in a Democratic show just before the primary? And just as the curtain decides to go down on the first act, the master of ceremonies calmly announces that he is sure that ‘‘the Democrats will win in the primary next Tuesday.”
In the first act that I am telling you about, the name of Judge Collins was mentioned more than any other name and got more applause. As somebody said in the lobby during intermission,” Judge Collins must be a good Democrat.” "Sky-High” has a big cast and a lot of singing. Comedians, so announced, crack wise in a burlesque way about candidates and then on comes a singer backed by a chorus. I could tell you more about the names in the first part of "SkyHigh” if I had a program. The programs were passed after the first act. Fhrobably meaning that the primary for the Democrats will be held Wednesday. It is to laugh.

son we have a striking presentation of the mother of James and John. So passionate was her ambi - tion for her sons that in the kingdom which she believed Jesus had come to establish on earth, and in which she herself strongly believed, she aspired to see these sons in the cief places of preferment, one or the right hand of Jsus and the other on the left. One might have supposed that Jesus would have rebuked the woman for her ambition and that he would have given the two disciples a lecture upon their false ideals. The other ten disciples we are told were moved with indignation, and we can imagine some-

But Jesus had called men to the inner circle of discipleship not for their perfection but because of their capabilities. He had chosen for the responsible task of supporting him and carrying on his work in the world not men who were free from blemish and whose qualities were mainly negative but men of strong and positive convictions. One could not build much upon the foundation of a weak and indifferent man, but if one found a man of natural strength of character, that character might be transformed and directed under the impulses of love and grace. Thus it was that instead of rebaking the mother of Zebedee’s children and her two sons, Jesus gave them a challenge to something even greater and better than sitting on either side of an earthly throne. “Are ye able to drink of the £up that I shall drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am haptized?” Their response was unflinching, they were ready for any emergency. But the emergency that came to them in the ultimate founding of Christianity was so different from anything that even they or their mother perceived. In deep measure it was given to them to share the cup of the Master. Concerning one we have no clear or definite knowledge. It was supposed that he suffered an early martyrdom. Concerning the other we have

the tradition of his mighty love, that this man who had drunk in ambition and the passion to dominate with his mother’s milk became so filled with love of his fellowrnen that he could express the supreme experience of anew religion in its power to save in no larger and more effective way than by saying, "We know that we have passed from death unto life because we love the brethren.” The two standards become one standard under the dominance of Christ. That is what out to happen in all our lives and with all our standards of success. What we need above all else Is so to learn about Christ that our ideals or success will be transformed into ideals that make our lives worthy not only in the sight of men but worthy in the sight of God. It is not enough to be good and to be strong, but we must be good for something, and we must be strong for the highest things of life.

Tom Mix to Appear Here With Circus Sells-Floto to Be First Big Show of Present Season. TN seasons past it has been a happy task to laugh at the grotesque and hilarious antics of fifty Sells-Floto circus clowns, but this year, when the great show is seen in Indianapolis Friday, May 9, we will be called upon to roar, chuckle, grin, smile and snort with joy at the capers of no less than seventy Sells-Floto Joeys. The cream of the clown world, princes of cap and bell, kings of harlequinade, have been gathered to furnish the long Sells-Floto program this season. Among them are many whose names are famous in the circus world and popular with show lovers. They include Jimmie Davison, F*aul Jerome, Chester Barnet, Walter Godenough, Grover Nitchman, Mai Bates. Jack King, Bill Ash, Tom Howard and dozens of others whose antics • have delighted thousands of circus fans throughout the country for many seasons past. Each Merry Andrew devises his ow’ii individual laugh-raisers, and each tried to vie with the others in originality and humorous novelty. The result is a long program of sidesplitting feats and funny surprises, no two alike, with the result that when a Sells-Floto patron is about recovering from one fit of gasping laughter he has but time to regain his breath when he is assailed with a fresh and even funnier comedy onslaught. The children love the clowns no less than their more reserved elders. The Joeys in rousing laughter disregard ages. And. of course, Sells-Floto have the greatest of all attractions, Tom Mix and Tony, who appear at each and every performance this season. Over two hundred circus acts, many new to American audiences, fill the three rings and two stages with thrills and sensational stunts.
