A RADIANT CROSS

One, long ago. on a bare bleak
hill
At a place called Calvary
A rude cross stood. 1t spoke of
death
And pain and agony
But the sacrifice and matchless
love
Offered there that day
Have made the way of the
cross
A glorious, shining way,
Because He loved; because He
gave;
That cross of anguished pain
Became a cross of %wonderous
Light,
Of high, triumphant gain.
Today, a cross with a double
bar
Beckons to you and me
To join hands in bringing gifts
To help make mankind free
From the scourge we call the
Great White Plague
BY holding a Torch of Light
And helping those battle death
To fight a winning fight.
All honor to the radiant Crossl
Let's keep its symbol true
How far it throws its beam of
light
Depends on neon you.

Frozen Horses

Frozen Horses
Anothtr very interesting &C
count has been reproduced in the
"signs of the Times" magazine.
The writer reproduces a report
about ten large horscs that were
foun4 far out in the cold wastes
Of Siberia. Their bodies were
found in perfect shape. They were
saddled for thsir riders and
hitched in the stalls.
The scientifoc fact was that: A
flood had covered the emit re re-
gion and washed sand and other
matter about the ara. Then a
blizzard had set in and froze all
life. The eyes of these horses
were open and their stomachs
contained partly d'gested food.
How lcng they had been there
o. who their owners are is not
yet known. But scientists have
calculated 10000 years as a fair
linit for the exist.nce of these
FOSSILS, We are not able to prove
that human measurements of
pas ages are Invaluable. But
whether the world is 5000 years
old or thousands more, we
CHRISTIANS believe that this find
ing proves two things:
u T. substantiate our belief
that the flood of Noah's time
actually happened.
(2) That hors.s looked much
the same 10000 years ago as
they do now; thus weakening the
belief in the evolution of one
animal INFO another, Other than
evolution as confirm by God, this
proves that the Bible is true.

club from dummy when he won the lead, what penalty could the opponents exact?
 Solution to Bridge Quiz
 l. South should open the bid- ding with one no trump. AS he has no trump type playing hand, to bid one club might get a no trump response from his partner, and it would be difficult to find a second bid. The bid of one no trump also shows a good hand and justifies North in keeping the bidding open on less than the one club bid would allow. North should bid two no trump and South three no trump.
 2. West should open his fourth best heart. Whenever partner does not enter the bidding, and nothing in the bidding indicates a short suit opening, your best attack against no trump contract is your longest and strongest suit.
 3. South must play his king ot hearts on the ace. He can win only one heart trick at best, and it is wiser to allow dudmmy to win the heart trick in order to create a much needed entry. This AS the only way the declarer can fi- nesse the club suit.
 4. The opponents could allow the lead to stand, or simply say to the declarer, "The lead is in your hand in which case the declarer would be forced to play club from his own hand. Copyright, 1889. NEA Service, Incl
