 The first quarters lessons have dealt with the greatest story in history. and the greatest experi- ence in history.
 The greatest story in history is the story of Jesus of Nazareth. In simplicity, in literary beauty, in moral and spiritual content, it stands supreme in all literature. It the story of those whom Jesus reached and touched with the power and beauty of his message.
 Here we have the greatest ex- periences in history; not experi- ences that stand alon Or that are opposed to all other moral and spiritual experience, but that, in their record of what came into human life through new vision and new power of action, are su- premely significant of all that can

At National

Broadway's leading comedy hit
of the current season, Sailor Be-

Charles Robinson will be the
sixth attraction Of the National
Players opening Monday night,
June 4th.
This is the first performance
in stock of a riotous farce which
is still running in New York
after opening last November.
Sailor Beware" was sold to the
movies by Producer Courtney Burr
at what is announced was a rec
ord high price for a 1933-34 play.
The story Of Sailor Beware" Is
frank, rowdy and sometimes
bawdy. The authors daringly call
a spade a hydraulic steam shovel.

two such antagonists meet, all
the men-of.war and all the lights

to lay wagers on the outcome.
The theme might sound familiar,
but like spring it is ever new.
The solution is a triumph for
the old-time champion-Love.
Written to be acted with a
thumb to the nose, Sailor Be

most highly relished entertain

season.

There is this much to life.
One sleeps when one is tired.
One eats when one is hungry.
One kisses when one is in love.
One wears heavy clothes when
one is cold-light clothes when
one is warm. One drinks when
one is thirsty, washes when one
is dirty. 1t is to be hoped one
has a bed to sleep upon, food to
eat, a girl to love, clothes to
wear, water to drink and to wash
with. There is God for those Of
us who believe-there is hope for
those of us who have faith. ..
there is death as the final goal
