Snow gave an interesting talk to the
high school pupils, on the League of
Nations, about which she is we'll in
formed. This is the third time Mrs.
Snow has been here and each time her
talk seems more convincing than be-
fore. She reviewd the origin of the
League, where and when it meets, and
some of the important disputes it has
handled. She stressed the fact that if
the United States joined the League
of Nations the turmoil and strife
which is now going on in Europe
would clear up in two weeks and also
that is is impossible to have sue
cessful League without the United
States. Mrs. Snow gave several points
which were helpful to the Seniors in
their debate April 81.

MARYLAND'S QUOTA
TO CONVENTION IS
OVER A HUNDRED

Maryland has a quota of 165, Della
ware So, who are expected to attend
the International Convention of Re
ligious Education to be held at Column
bus, Ohio, June 28-July 8, 1888. Each
county has been assigned a suggested
quota. Worcester county quota is 2.
We are all called-to Convention!
The official call to the International
Convention has been issued. 1t is a
strong and challenging statement. 1t
is addressed to the friends of Christ
ian Education everywhere.
1--WE live today in world of tur-
MOL and change. The church has a
duty to declare the Christian message
as a challenge to the world itself. It
has right to expect persons and
groups courageously to try the Christ
ian way of life. Therefore the theme
chosen for the convention is The
Christian Challenge to the Modern
World"
The call summons to the convention
forward looking ministers; teachers
and officers in the Church schools;
leaders of children and youth; young
people themselves; the host of women
who teach and serve in our churches;
laymen to teach and plan and give of
their means to this cause; educators
in public schools and colleges; and
leaders of clubs on the farms and in
the cities and of many other activities
dealing with the character of growing
persons.
There are many ways by which
your county can promote attendance
For example, in one city, plans are
underway for each church to send at
least one delegate and in addition to
pay the enrolment fee and at least
part of the travel expense for the
pastor or the superintendent from
each school. From another direction
comes word of large school that has
appropriated $25 to pay for delegate
to represent it. Still another church
has offered to pay the registration
fee for all delegates from that church.
They expect to have at least an auto
load. From city in a far different
section of the country comes the news
that the matter has been taken up in
the Parent-Teachers' Association with
much interest. Denominational boards
state and city councils, the Religious
Education Council Of Canada, and CO.

bird seemed content on its perch.
Then one day as he was hosing the
floor of the cage. the eagle shot down.
struck him squarely on the chest and
knocked him of his feet. In split
second he found himself lying on the
floor of the cage with the eagle firmly
grasping him, one claw dug into his
thigh, another grasping his ankle.
Fortunately, as he fell, he retained
hold on the hose - it lay along his leg
80 that both claws encircled it before
they touched him. Consequently the
claws could not sink in deeply.
But he was in a precarious position.
He dared not struggle, for fear the
eagle would shift its feet and rip into
him with firmer hold He lay per-
fectly still, with the squirting hose
drenching his face.
He estimates that he lay there for
five minutes, never moving muscle.
1t was early in the morning and no
visitors we're around to report his
plight. Then, as suddenly as it had
attacked him, the eagle relaxed its

Here was a bird weighing ten to
twelve pounds, able to knock down
l4O-pound man by hurting itself from
a distance of few feet. 1t is easy to
believe that by a swoop from great
height, at terrific speed, the bird might
well knock down and stun small
animal such as lamb. 1t is possible
that under exceptional circumstances
it might, without greatly checking the
force of its swoop, carry the ami
NAL off. But the circumstances would
certainly have to be exceptional.
