; Not many boys have tlie chance of traveling with g circus iike I have for the last couple of months—and having somebody like “Wally Beery, Who knows all about circuses, elephants and tigers to tell you all about them. I mnever thought I woulr ICMH ‘better time than I 4id in “Treasire Island” with Wally, but “O’Shaughness’s Boy” has besn the most fun I have ever had. ~ Best of all, T started to work at the circus a' week after schoo! let out. And Mr. “Boley”, as' everyhody calls Director Richard Boleslawski, said I could have my gang out every day, if T wanted to.

Walley was swell. You know he was a circug elephant -trainer ‘'ong before I was born and took care of 26 elephants when he was with the Ringling Bros. circus. Wall; is the finest pal a boy could have--and the bravest. He handled the big elephants just like their trainer. and even got intp the cages with tigers and lions. ;

My gang sure wag thrilled when Wally invited them out to see him wrestle with the tiger—a real live one from Bengal. T had the most fun when Wally let me have a “bull hook” and taught me how to make Anna May—that wag our best elephant—do tricks. She would get down on her knees for us and raise up on her hind legs, just like she would for Wally.

_ Christian Sclence Services: ...Is the Universe, including Man, Evolved by Atomic Forece?’ is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of <Christ, Scientist on Sunday December 22. The Golden Text is: “Every house ig builded by some man; but he that built al lthings is God” (Hebrews g4y, Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath tanght him? Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things that bringeth out their host by number” (Isaiah 40: 13, 26). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science #extbook, *Seience and Health with Key t{o the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy. “Whatever reflects Mind, Life, Truth, and Love, is spiiritually conceived ang brought forth; but the statement that man is conceived and evolved both spiritually and materially, or by both God and man, con tradicts this eternal truth. All the vanity of the ages can never make both these contraries true” (p. 303). L e e ———— 5
