What is it al about-this talk
about Victory Boys and Girls? 1t

set aside definite part of the re-
quired quota for the boys and girls

A Walk .uith Johnny

Ann takes her little brother
Johnny out for a walk, Johnny
walks web for such a small boy,
but he tries to walk a little too
fast, and has hard fall. He is
more scared than hurt, but he feels
duty-bound to cry. He sits up on
the ground, and bawls loud and
long.
A bird sits on post and looks at
him as much as to say, What can
be the matter with that little boy?"
Ann shows him a jumping jack,
which pleases him very much, and
in spite of himself, the little rogue
son has to laugh through his tears.
Then Ann takes him into the house,
and gives him her doll to play with,
then with the doll in his arms, she
takes him out to see the rabbits.
Johnny is as happy as lark now;
he has forgotten all his sOrrows.

A Fairy Story

Once upon a time there were
three little children, two girls and
a boy. Their mother was poor,
their father was dead. So one day
their mother told them to go out in
the woods to gather wood for the
fire. They wandered far out in the
woods and got lost. So they sat
down and sried. A fairy stepped
beside them and asked them why
they were crying. They told her
that they were lost. So the fairy
took them home and told their
mother to come with her and bring
the children. She took the child
rem and mother into the woods UNI
til they came to a tree. Then the
fairy took out a little gold key
and put it into a little hole and
turned it and all of sudden a
little door opened.
Then she told them to follow her
and she took them up to the top
of the tree. And what do you sup
pose they saw? A whole lot OF
fairies dancing. So she took them
in a little room all furnished in
gold. She told them they could
sleep in that room. So she gave
them some pretty clothes to wear.
Every day she would come and take
them to dinner. The table was al
ways spread with good things to
eat.
Then she would take the children
out in the yard and let them play
with the little fairies. They were
glad to play with them. While the
children were out playing their
mother helped the good fairy clean
the house.
The fairy gave the mother room
full of gold and the children one
too; and they lived happy ever af-

China's Great Wall
Is World Wonder


The Great Wall of China is one
Of the architectural wonders of the
world. 1t is supposed to be a bar
rier for China, to defend her from
enemies. 1t is from Is to 30, or
even so feet high, and is Is feet
wide at the top. The base is Is
feet thick.
It is built of an earthen core,
faced with immense bricks that
weigh from forty to sixty pounds
each. These bricks are built upon
stone foundation, and in many
places the wall is faced with gran
ite. The earth-filled core has a
pavement Of bricks, laid in line on
the top, that make fine roadway.
The wall today is 10000 miles in
length, but it originally was much
longer, stretching more than $1,000
miles, over mountains and down
valleys of China. It's fortifi-
cations consist Of parapets and
fortress towers at frequent inter-
walls. There are about $4,000 tow
ers and about 10000 of these are in
fine repair after twenty centuries.
This shows the thought and care
full work that was put into the
great undertaking, and 1t symbol
ICES to all the people of today the
desirable qualities in ones charac-
tire of strength, perseverance, unity
and true protection for man and
beast.
Once seen, the Wall Of China
can never be forgotten. 1t is one
of the best Sermons in Stone"
ever demonstrated. If you stand at
Old North Gate, which is on the
peak in this picture, you can see
the cloud capped towers, extending
on both sides, east and west, until
the miles ard miles of wall dwindle
away into a minute point, and you
stop to remember that for twenty
centuries people have stood where
you stand and have seen the same
perspective view that you now see.
Then you feel so small bit of the
Great Plan of Creation, and think
to yourself, What can l ever &C.
complish in view Of this stupen-
dous work." All, this is the re-
ply:
you, with the same Mind and
Gifts from the Almighty, can work
out wonderful things just as this
Great Wall was thought and
planned and manifested to last in
definitely. So don't belittle your
self, but remember you, too, are
capable of great works, If you but
handle the 'potter's clay with the
ability Of an intelligent worker"
This awe-inspiring legacy of
China's past greatness. proves to
us how fleeting are fame and great
ness of the world. When this wall
was built it was said that no power
could ever reach the fortified and
protected people back of it. And
yet 1t was but short span of years
before an enemy found way to at
tack the Chinese.
The Prince OF Tsun, hrst EN-
peror Of China, built the wall in the
Third Century B. c., but the work
was directed by a military officer
named Ming Tien.-Brooklyn
