Claude Conard, chief auditor

month trip through Europe, In
dia. China, Japan and the East
Indies, where he inspected work
being carried on by the denomin-
alton and checked books at the
larger of the denominational
headquarters in the territories he
visited.
OF all Of the countries of the
Far East in which the AdventiStS
are endeavoring to promote re-
ligiouS and health work, China
seems to be the most promising,
Mr.. Conard said. Several hospi-
tails having been opened in diff
ferent sections of China in the
past year and many more are be-
ing erected.
India and Japan seem to be the
hardest field for the AdventiStS
as for other religious denomina-
tions, he said, no doubt because Of
the ancient religious and caste
systems prevailing there.

into yacht racing, as no after

ed with Professor Fay, and was
quickly followed by Professor
Bliss ON the Rainbow"
It might be suggested that
the "Weetamoe," the third cup
boat. owned by Fred trlnt :,
would make a better showing
than she hitherto has, if she
also followed suit. However,
the unfortunate "Weetamoe"
is given little consideration, as
she has won only one race this
season.
She was built in 1880 as q
cup defender, and although she
made q very good showing then.
the Enterprise was chosen in

has a lovely course that he built
three years ago. He has been
waiting to get the course in good
grass before using it. Every
one who has seen this course
says it is superb. All race meet
riders and those who follow this
sport are looking forward to this
first meeting of the season on
Mr.. Dupont'S new course.
Richard Mellon also has built
a lovely new course and is
having his first race-meeting
at Rolling Rock, Pa, October
9. I heard a long conversa-
ton between Dick Mellon and
Jock Whitney the other day,
in which they were trying to
"get together" and arrange not
to have their race-meetings so
close together. The Llangollen
Races on Mr.. Whitney'S place
are scheduled earlier this sea-
son than usual, the date being
October II. AS the Llangollen
date already had been set and
arrangements made some time
ago, and Mr.. Mellon could only
have his meeting on october 9,
there seemed nothing they
could do but have those inter-
ested in both events to hurry
from Rolling Rock, Pa, to
Llangollen, Va, so they can
see both of these thrilling days
of racing-even though the
two dates may be too close
together to have the same
horses run in both.

but, as I. said before. you'd
never know it, for she always
uses seeing words.
What a lovely dress you had
on yesterday" she cries. Il
liked that circular flounce and
that shade of blue Is so be-
coming, Elsie"
With her eyes, Dolly will
never see that dress. But
using another's eyes, anothers
words, she has seen it with
her spirit. And by opening her
spirit, she has achieved some
thing that the one who wore
the dress and the one vino saw
1t has never achieved.
It is so much more exciting
to FEEL beauty than it is to
merely own it or wear it.
And Dolly FELT that lovely,
sweeping blueness.
She made it's beauty part Of
herself. She had an adventure
in beauty. While I, who own It,
only have a dress.
IT saw such wonderful
sunrise yesterday morning"
says Dolly, smoothing cream
over a face that feels as if all

we saw it coming up-all coral

Suddenly, through Dolly's

And, in a bright flash, you
understand the miracle of Faith.
"NOW FAITH IS THE SUB

Out of her darkness, Dolly
"hopes for" Beauty. And finds
it! That nerve which records

destroyed. But a more sensitive
organ has taken its place-the
organ of Faith. And so, though
she misses the outer film of
things, she has the precious sub
stance-the shining evidence.
We too, you and I, are blinded
by a darkness the darkness of
our own ignorance and fear.
Blindly we turn our desperate
faces to life, seeking those
things we hope for" that
proof of love and justice and
honor which will make all the
pain worth while. And zee only

nobody knows for, from the
first. she refused to act blind.
young as she was, she per;
ceived that she could set
boundaries on her blindness II
she wished. She need not be
completely unlike other little
girls. She could not see as
they did, but she need not
think nor talk blind.
It must have taken incredl'
BILE courage to chose seeing
gestures, seeing words. She had
to put aside so much more
than eye darkness. She had
to put aside darkness of the
spirit - discouragement, SELF
pity, even sympathy. For
though she was only a child.
she saw the danger OF these
things.
It would have been so easy
for her to use her blindness to
attract attention and to duck
responsibility. other blind peo.
pie did. And no one blamed
them. But a darkness like that
was more terrible than any
sickness of the eyes.
So Dolly chose to keep q
seeing heart. If she couldn't
see with her eyes, she could
see with her mind and spirit.
And perhaps, if she was al
ways reaching out, she might
break through to a soul sight
which even those who were
sound Of eye did not always
discover.
She was still only a child.
Naturally. she did not put her
struggle to herself in those
words. But that was the thing
she felt, beneath all the terror
and despair. And that was the
thing she did. Against the in
credulous surprise and urgent
warnings of her friends she
decided to take-of all things!

The Washington times., 1934-08-08

The "Endeavor," the English
challenger for Americas Cup,
has arrived in American waters.
Two Of the crew were reported
to have been taken on board the
Vitee, the accompanying steam
yacht, in midocean during a gale.
r. o. M. Sopwith, "Endeavor'S"
owner, has already arrived and
was entertained by Mr.. Junius
Morgan, commodore Of the New
York Yacht Club, on Saturday,
at Glen Cove, Long Island.
Among those present, were: Mr..
George Cormack, Gen. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Sop
with, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Nor
gan, and Mr.. Gerard Lambert,
whose Sloop "Vanitie" may be
used as a trial horse for the Eng
lish boat in tuning her up after
she has had her mast stepped
and has been put in condition.
So far it is still a question
which American boat will be
chosen. The Yankee has made
an excellent showing against the
newer boat, Rainbow" and it is
very possible that the Boston
boat, Yankee" may be chosen.
Her skipper, Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, former Secretary Of the
Navy, has had a great deal Of
experience in sailing cup boats,
and is considered by many the
best amateur sailor in America.
He sailed the "Resolute" to vic
tory in the Americas Cup in
1920, is q very ardent sailor in
the races off Marblehead, and
may be seen in anything from
the Brutal Beast Glass (Small
boats Of II feet) to the cup
boats.
The "Rainbow's" skipper,
Harold Vanderbilt, is also
among the best, having won
the race against Shamrock v
in 1880 with the Enterprise"
He has worked hard to get the
best results out of the new
boat. It was the first boat in
the water this spring. and
nothing has been left undone
to make her as fast as possible.
However, the observation races
which start around the 10th of
August will prove which is the
better boat.
Both boats are expected to
60 on the New York Yacht
Club cruise, which starts Thurs.
day from New London, and if
the "Vanitie'' is not used to
tune up the "Endeavor" it will
be the last time the 20-year-old
defender will be seen this year
In the water.
It will be very interesting to
see the methods Mr.. Sopwith
will use in sailing his boat, as
the sailing conditions are so
different in this country.
Mr.. Sopwith has the added
handicap of a green crew, as
his trained crew struck for
higher wages before leaving
England, and he was compelled
to take on another crew, while
American boats have beauti-
