"a ROTARY CLUB OF Lee County, Iowa, offer
"a ed what they termed a Rotary cup OF
achievement. which was won by a little gill who
started tnywith SIS. borrowed capital, and wound
mp with. a team OF horses, a SOW with a number Of
pigs; and a small bank account: Of her own beside.
There was no question about the cup, for this child

do credit to any adult. Her accomplishment COW

A cup OF. achievement" would be IN inspiration
IN any county. 1t would not only be an iasplra-
ton. but It would bring TO light an astonishing
number OF personal struggles for success that are
going 90 all about us. Many Of our neighbors are
fighting battles TO success that, go unregarded and
unnpplauded. There Is. Of course, always that
success which carries With 1t The. sound Of trumpets
and the rutfle OF drums, the g%littering success that
demands and receives its %laureis. but there have
been achieved all about US successes that meant
more to the future OF the community. and the lives
OF its residents than any big turn ~oyer''of money.

In the one instance,o of this little girl who worked
and planned for five years toward a goal OF ac-

Great Need Of

God and Saviour. The State &C.
knowledged the established "ortho.

power in the hands of the clergy.
The peasants were devout In their
simple faith, in religious observ.
apces and IN obedience to their
priests. Tho higher officials were.
however, corrupted by selfish ambt-
ton and intolerance, and the peas,
ants were uneducated In the Bible
and in their religious responsible.

Today, as a result Of the over.

establishment OF ntheistic rulers,
Russia Is "a heather" land-one
whose rulers do not acknowledge
God as revealed in.Christ, nor His
laws as made known In the Bible.
Russia therefore, needs Bibles and
Christian missionaries.
