here means "steadfastness," "hdel- ity", loyalty. One suggested trans. lation Is Let us run with unflinch" ing purpose" If only Christians in general, and you in particular, could be persuaded to run with unfailing, unfiinching purpose! The contrast between the good competitor at the track meet who gives his last ounce of nerve and will to win the rac0 and the average Christian who takes his own time on the road Of life and is turned aside from the straight and narrow path by the simplest. the most ridiculous of temptations, Is nothing less than appalling. How many people do you know whose zeal to live the Christian life IS as startling and as inspiring as un. bounded determination of teh miler: who burn up the cinder track?
 The phrase that stands out from this verse is run with patience. It is the two words, run" and "pa. tience" taken together that gives this whole verse its unusual quality. It Is one thing to say, "sit with pa. tience," or accept with patience: 1t is quite another to say run with patience" We have been accustomed most of us, ct least, to think of pa- tience in terms of the passive Vir- tues. The writer to the Hebrews gives new breadth and meaning tc the word. He thinks of patience iIl terms of the active voice. He thinks of patience in terms of all out of. fort, in terms of grim determination in terms of burning conviction, ir terms of unlimited sacrifice. He thinks of the Christian not as one sitting with folded hands taking life as 1t comes but as 6 strenuous conn petitor, one who gives everything hl has for Christ'S cause.

CHILD RADIO 5TAR5LEARN
 TO BE FUNNY
AP FEATURE SERVICE

PHILADELPHIA of American children are learning how to be funny on the air because of the efforts of young Philadelphia matron, Mrs Alice Clements.
 Ten thousand children have won additions with her in little more than a decade. And 90000 more asked for additions she couldn't give.
 Her children's hour has been the starting place of many of today's stars of radio, screen and stage.
 Giving the children chance is the best part of my program she declared in the pleasing voice which is never heard when the "on the air" sign is up.
 She never has fewer than 30 children learning the rules of ra- dio for her program.
 Can't Always Be Good
 "A child cant start out being SOOQ CNCly lllllC. SilC ShEldiAio.
 Her formula for developing child comedians; Mimicry for innings sake. Development of different type of entertaining to fit the child's personality And finally, ex- perimenting with various teams un- til she hits on a combination of talents.
 One of her rules for radio suc- cess with children is to put the audience on the studio stage and the children down where an au- dience usually sits. That gives the children a better place to run about while waiting to perform and thereby lessens the chances of their being nervous.
 A second rule is to have one baby on the program. A baby is always a good show, she says.
 A third is her insistence that each child have something hard enough to learn for each appear ance to demand the hour-a day homework which she considers essential.
 Proud of Star Pupils
 She is very proud of such star pupils as Ezra Stone, the Moylan Sisters, Olivio Santoro, the Nich- olas Brothers, Al Bernie and the Junior G-Men - Kenneth Lundy Charlie Peck and Harris Berger = Blackie Shackner, Paul Bartels and Dorothea Eller.
 She would like to find a way tc prove to parents that some children are one-time performers. Sometimes a child has rehearsed one act long and diligently and in it is suc- cess. Then he may not have the time or desire to put so much ef- fort into subsequent appearances.
 Parents should let him enjoJ the one success and go on his merry way with other interests | Mrs. Clements says.
