WATERBURY, Conn, July 27.-
Rev. Theophile Van Dyke, Protest.
tant missionary just returned from
Africa, tells of what he considers the
most significant religious enterprise
he encountered in three years ex-
perience.
An earnest Catholic missionary
priest, Pierre Gatheron, stationed at
Sonkaras, North Africa, where the
fight for church existence is active.
said Mr.. Van Dyke, rather than give
up his station resorted to capturing
and raising for exhibition purposes
young lions. He takes the cubs from
the mothers at the peril of his life and
pets them, and finally gets fancy
prices for them for exhibition pur-
poses.
Besides his church, which the lions
keep going, the jealous clergyman
keeps a pharmacy in operation, which
is real godsend there.

strikes the dominant note. And in
deed the average American. looking
at himself in a mirror, as it were,
would probably swell his chest an
inch or two and admit that since
he was given to looking on the sum

an optimist. The sentiment behind
