In the first act that 1 am telling
you about, the name of Judge Col
Inns was mentioned more than any
other name and got more applause.
AS somebody said in the lobby
during intermission," Judge Collins

"Sky-High" has big cast and a
lot of singing. Comedians, so an

way about candidates and then on
comes a singer backed by chorus.
I could tell you more about the
names in the first part of "Sky-

act. Probably meaning that the

Editor of The Congregs tiOnalist
TINE essence of the teaching Of
Il Jesus was in his revelation OF
human values, and this revelation
of human values was itself aSso-
ciated with the eternal.
Human values had their meaning
because of the divine Fatherhoo1
Mans capacities spoke of mG.n's
origin, and mans origin, through
the creative power of Father of
Love, determined the highest values
of his early life.
The teaching Of Jesus would
probably be much less easily per-
ceived nd applied if Jesus had not
enforced it by striking examples,
some of which have been recorded
for us in the New Testament in
the narrated incidents nd parallels.
A Contrast in Standards
Here in our lesson we have a
graphic and dramatic contrast be-
tween the standard of greatness
that Jesus had and that force Of
personal ambition which is more in
harmony with the standards that
have prevailed in the world. Among
the disciples whom Jesus called
we're two brothers, James and John.
We do not know great deal about
them in detail, but we know a
great deal concerning their general
characteristics and the determining
influences in their lives.
We have a clue to their character
and temperament in the nickname
that Jesus gave to them, BoanergeS,
or Suns of Thunder. Evidently it
was a playful reference to their in
tense and rather stormy nature. We
know that they we're the sons Of
Zebedee, but even more important
than this is the fact that it is their
mother, rather than Zebedee, that
stands most conspicuously in the
record.
Probably if we could look into
the history of all great men, we
should find that the outstanding
hereditary and dominating factors
often came from the mother rather
than from the father. Our patri-
archal type of society has tended
largely to neglect the powerful fac
tor of the mothers influence, for
apart even from the element Of
heredity the mother more than the
father has constituted the deter
mining environment of the child.
She has guided its early years.

Tom Mix to
Appear Here
With Circus
SeIIS-FIoto to Be First Big
Show of Present
Season.

IN seasons past it has been a
u happy task to laugh at the gro
teSque and hilarious antics of fifty
Sells-Floto circus clowns, but this
year, when the great show is seen
in indianapolis Friday, May 8, we
will be called upon to roar, chuckle,
grin, smile and snort with joy at
the capers of no less than seventy
Sells-Floto Joeys.
The cream of the clown world.
princes of cap and bell, kings OF
harlequinade, have been gathered
to furnish the long Sells-Floto pro-
gram this season.
Among them are many whose
names are famous in the circus
world and popular with show lovers.
They include Jimmie Dawson,
Paul Jerome, Chester Barnet, Wal
ter Godenough, Grover Nitchman,
Nal Bates, Jack King, Bill Ash,
Tom Howard and dozens of others
whose antics have delighted thou
sands of circus fans throughout the
country for many seasons past.
Each Merry Andrew devises his
own individual laugh-raisers, and
each tried to vie with the others in
originality and humorous novelty.
The result is a long program of
sideSplitting feats and funny sur
priSeS, no two alike, with the result
that when a Sells-Floto patron is
about recovering from one fit of
gaSping laughter he has but time
to regain his breath when he is
aSSailed with fresh and even fun
nier comedy onslaught. The children
love the clowns no less than their
more reserved elders. The Joeys in
rousing laughter disregard ages.
And, of course, Sells-Floto have
the greatest of all attractions, Tom
Mix and Tony, who appear at each
and every performance this season.
Over two hundred circus acts,
many new to American audiences,
fill the three rings and two stages
with thrills and sensational stunts.

thing of the discord which the in
cident created.
But Jesus had called men to the
inner circle of discipleship not for
their perfection but because of
their capabilities. He had chosen
for the responsible task of support
ing him and carrying on his work
in the world not men who were
free from blemiSh and whose quail
ties were mainly negative but men
Of strong and positive convictions.
One could not build much upon the
foundation of a weak and indiffer-
ent man, but if one found a man
of natural strength of character,
that character might be trans
formed and directed under the i'm
pulses of love and grace.
Thus it was that instead of re-
baking the mother OF Zebedee S
children and her two sons, Jesus
gave them a challenge to something
even greater and better than sitting
On either side of an earthly throne.
"Are We able to drink of the cup
that 1 shall drink, and be baptized
with the baptism that I am hap
tized?" Their response was I'M
fnching, they were ready for any
emergency.
But the emergency that came to
them in the ultimate founding of
Christianity was so different from
anything that even they or their
mother perceived. In deep measure
it was given to them to share the
cup of the Master. Concerning one
we have no clear or definite knowl-
edge. 1t was supposed that he suf-
fered an early martyrdom.

dom which she believed Jesus had
come to establish on earth, and in
which she herself strongly believed,
she aspired to see these sons in the
chef places of preferment, one or
the right hand of JSus and the
other on the left.
One might have supposed that
Jesus would have rebuked the
woman for her ambition and that
he would have given the two dis

ideals. The other ten disciples We

A Moment of Heroism

An automobile stalled on a railroad grade crossing
n Louisiana recently. Down the track came a fast
train. The engineer. Leon Ford. saw the stalled auto
and knew that he would not be able to stop in time.
So he did some very quick and unselfish thinking.
When a locomotive, travelling at high speed, has to
be stoned in a hurry. the brakes must not be APP
piled too suddenly. If they are. the engine Is apt TO
leave the rails entirely and turn over.
Ford. as a veteran engineer. knew this perfectly.
50. without hesitation. he iammed on his brakes.
The thing worked lust as he had expected. His To-
connective jumped the tracks and careened over on its
side. Ford was killed. But the motorist escaped
alive.
1t is probable that almost any engineer would have
done the same thing. Railroad engineers are mem
bers Of that select band Of men who have led the
public to expect them to be ready TO sacrifice their
own lives to save others. But you won't understand
just how much credit this bit Of heroism reflects on
Leon Ford until you try to figure out whether you,
yourself, would have acted that way in his place.
Probably most Of us would like to tell ourselves that
We would have been equally heroic. Bun the chances
are that we are only kidding ourselves. We would
have meant well: we would have taken a grip on our
nerves and done our very best to steel ourselves for
the sacrifice. But-and here is the point-by the time
we could have made up our minds it would have been
too late.
Ford had to make his decision in the t~winkling Of
an eye. In fact, he had to make it automatically. 1t
had TO come out OF him without the necessity OF stop
ping to think it over. He had, in short. to be the
kind Of man, right down to the bottom, to whom an
action Of self-sacrifice was instructive in a sudden
crisis.
That is the sort Of stuff that heroism really is. It
isn't anything that flowers unexpectedly, without a
background. The engineer who dies to prevent a
wreck, the fireman who loses his life in a blazing
building trying to get some doomed inmate out, the
policeman who coolly shoots it out with a gunman
and goes down with a bullet in his ~heart-these men
do not suddenly become heroes. There we're heroes.
all the while. The moment Of crisis simply brought
It out.
And that. in turn. IS why our instinct to pay high
honors to these men Is a sound one. The quick mo-
ment Of bravery and ~selfless courage-that Is Moth
inEine. The disciplined, steadfast life that made that
moments bravery inevitable-that is everything.
