iupon some occult power the officer possessed in his sowing. The Doms came out and made start on their portions of land, conditioned upon his keeping his promise as to the sowing. From that time onward ap- plications have come in to him from the non-criminal tribe villagers all around that he would perform sim- liar service for them. He has earned chiefly a reputation for the miracu- lousl
 Now and for some time, to quote the officer, his people fare crazy" to take up cultivation. They are on their own and will not stop. The weaving has to be confined to chil- dren who have no parents with land.
 Today the assistants and some of the Doms own highly cultivated gardens adjoining their houses. These houses are well built of bricks and tiles.
 No Outside Complaints
 There are practically no cases of bad behavior on the settlement and no complaints from outside. This is remarkable to all who know the Dom and what he was. But here the desire to prosper, to be respect able and at peace seems to have taken the place of former propen- sites. The racial bump of asquisi- tiveness has been shown a more convenient way of development.
 There is a great moral, material and spiritual development among these "Crims". There is the fine typical example in the governess of the younger children's class at the day school. She is a Dom girl in her teens. A pure product of the settlement, who has prospercd in appearance and mental and spiritual equipment, whilst her parents have been hard at 1t pros- pering materially.
 The problem of making the set- tiers self-supporting was one of the most serious that faced us when the army commenced this work, seeing that few of them had ever done an honest days labor, while all objected to hard work, and few knew any handicraft, or had any inclination for agriculture. The rapidity with which this change has taken place has sur- prised the most experienced gov- ernment officials, who were well &C., uuainted with their thriftless hab- it's, and their propensity to drunk enness and gambling, as well as robbery.
 Were it possible to make accur- ate comparisons of direct and in- direct losses of earlier days with the direct and indirect gains of today, and to separate them from the interplay of all kinds of ele- ments and conditions that go to make up the economic life of 1n- dia. it could be demonstrated arith- medically that valuable constructive, nation-building work is being per- formed among the Criminal Tribes.
 Schools Established
 Schools and clinics are now estab- lished at the various colony centers. From an evangelical standpoint the Criminal Tribes have been 8 most fruitful field. Flourishing Salvation Army corps can be shown with their bands and singing companies.

We have studied Abraham as a man of faith. Faith and prayer go together, thougfh prayer is more instinctive than faith. A man who has little faith will pray in an emgency, and men who profess to disbelieve in God have instinctively called upon Him when they have been confronted by danger or trag- edy. Prayer in its deepest aspect is

Weekly Sunday School Lesson - ABRAHAM A MAN OF PRAYER
Text: Genesis 1S:l7-32

that outreach of the soul toward some power or strength that is needed.
 But prayer in its truest aspect is much more than that. It is as- sociated with the reality of faith, with spiritual vision, and with the commitment of the soul in defi- nite ways.
 The man who cries to a God in whom he does not believe is, after all, making something of a mockery of prayer: but where Q man has yielded himself to the divine will and the divine control, and his whole being is attuned to truth and right eousness, prayer is of 8 different quality. It was concerning such prayer that the ancient writer said that "the prayer of 8 righteous man availeth much"
 It is constructive and interesting to study this lesson in the light of these things. Abraham was making a prayer for Sodom and Gomorrah, that they might not be destroyer because of their sin.
 What we have in this prayer is a conception of mercy and grace, so far in advance of conceptions of God that are more definitely re- lated to the New Testament that one marvelS to find such an ex- precision in the Book of Genesis, which goes so far back in the his- tory of the race.
 "Wilt thou consume the righteous with the wicked2" asks Abraham. It is more than a prayer-it is a questioning; it is reasoning; it is in 8 sense, a trial of the God in whom Abraham believes. It is a striking and penetrative question. Are not the good and the inno- cent, even If they be few, to be considered as well as the guilty? Suppose there are 50 righteous" :" said he, suppose there are only i've"
 Compare the spirit of this ap- peal of Abraham with what has happened in history, and with what is happening even in our modern, supposedly scientific, enlightened, and humanitarian age. We have seen within our own day civilian peoples destroyed in war, women and children bombed with products of modern scientific destructive ness, with no regard for mercy or tenderness or justice.
 The spirit of Abraham's prayer rebukes our modern day, and re- minds us that if we really had the spirit of prayer, we would under stand that there is grace and mercy with the Almighty, even as the nar- rative records the answer to the prayer.

 Jumping John Shaw put three nice games together last week and rolled $50.
 The boys after bowling last week got together and while the talk was mostly on bowling 1t did change to other points of interest Someone asked Ducky Richmond how he liked throwing the small ball years ago and he answered saying that years ago the htings he got a big kick out of was to get all dressed up in his new Sunday suit and listen to Q band concert, h said he always thought that you'd eventually dis- card the small ball and use the large one that Dick says he helped him to roll those fine games he is noted fer.

.CARNERA MADE
 POOR COMEBACK
Primo Slower Than Ever Before French, Italian
 Officials

Paris, Nov. 19.--(UP)-Primo Car4 nera, former heavyweight champion of the world, was debating today whether to continue his comeback attempt after dropping e l0-round decision to Tony Di Meglio.
 The question however may not be one for "Ol Satch' to decide. Off, ficials of both French and Italian Boxing Federations watched him last night ot determine his fitness for a new license.
 There was no recurrence of the left leg paralysis which occurred during Cameras fight with Leroy Haynes in New York in May, 1938. But "Da Preem" looked slower than ever, and he seemed to have lost whatever ability he ever had to punch. It was all showing and haul ing with neither landing any real punches. Di Meglio, one of Frances three best heavyweights, popped the Italian giant at times, but did little damage.
 Camera weighed 255; Di Meglio, l99.

There is no telling where an acting career will take you, once you have embarked on it." laughs Bert Lytell, well known stage and screen actor who is heard in the serial drama, Alias Jimmy Valen- tine" over WYNN every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 7:30 to 7:46 p. m. "On the stage, in moving pictures, and now on the radio I've been repeatedly cast outside the law. I've been breaking into bank vaults and impoverishing widows and orphans for the best--perhaps I should say worst--part of my act- ing career" Having played the lead in "Alias Jimmy Valentine" long on the stage, in motion pictures, and on the air, Lytell finds himself pe- culiarly Identified with that role in the mind of the public. Because Jimmy Valentine was an "ex-con" who managed to win his fight and go straight after his release from the penitentiary a number of pris- oners think of Lytell as a kindered spirit and upon regaining their free- dom as many as half a dozen month come to him for advice, help in finding jobs, and the inevitable stake.
