What the Carpenters
Son is doing for the

No one seems able to tell me wheth.
er the light streak In the heavens
known as the Milky Way is like a
one side. II may be two rivers of
stars uniting to form a main body
which runs to an ocean.
Where the two arms join the larger
part 1t is known as the bifurcation Of
the Milky Way. At this point Is a
fixed star known as the sun. Around
the sun many big balls revolve and
one of these is called the earth. The
surface of the earth consists of land
and water, and for convenience in
studying it there are imaginary lines
drawn around 1t In two directions.
The land is divided into continents,
one of them being named North Amer
lea, near the center of which are five
bodies of water known as lakes. One
of these lakes is called Erie, and some
parallels. At the junction of the south
shore Of Lake Erie and the forty-sec-
ond parallel is peculiar piece Of land
known as the Triangle.
In this Triangle two churches united
