Joseph Harris. at tAs ge Il :
reluctantly started violin lessons
He preferred to play baseball t.
practicing but his mother made
sure he practiced bowling before
he practiced batting. While at
Rindge Tech he was more inter-
ested in sports than music.
Mr.. Harris also was a student
at the South End Music School
for eleven years. He attended
Northeastern for two years but
the Army interrupted that phase
Of his education, although Mr..
Harris feels the Army life was
an education within itself.
Upon discharge from service he
was undecided about the future.
Like many returning soldiers he
was bitter and his outlook on
life had changed. During his
tour of duty in the service he be-
came a victim of polio. Because
of this he could no longer be
active in sporss. He decided to
divert his energies to music and
met a person most helpful to
him.
Mr.. Harris feels II ever he Is
successful in music the singular
force contrasting most to that
success Is Mr.. George Fourel, a

Our last two democratice presidents de-
serve critical evaluaton and comparison
as to their motives, and worth. Both Of
them great men, believe Truman to be the
greater of the two.
Roosevelt, the great and sincere statesman,
friend to the poor and far-sighted planner,
would compromise the issue at times. He
possessed high ideals, and he fought for fair
treatment toward all people. But he did not
stick out his neck as has our great President
Truman.
President Truman makes no compromise.
He pulls no punches. In spite of all criticism,
he launched his Civil Rights Bill and is stick.
ing to it, He did not change from his plat.
form, even though the Civil Rights Bill split
the convention. He has never veered one
iota from his ideals and his attitude concero-
ing Civil Rights. 'T.
And nothing will deter him from his tena-
cious desire for equal rights for all Ameri
cans. He7has bull dog tenacity that refuses,
to compromise the issue, no matter how much.
pressure is applied by the enemies of free
mind. There is a definite trend toward great
er liberality toward all people in America to-
day.
These are exciting times and this liberal
trend can be noticed even in such phases of
life as the movies, the drama, the amuse-
ment field and in writing and art. 1t is also
noticeable in politics and in all Of the gov
ernmental policies.
When we have two such public spirited,
fair mindd presidents as Roosevelt and .Tru-
man who are following the: democratic tradi-
ton set by Abraham Lincoln and 'other great
men, the American scene is bound to change
Of the two presidents Truman is the great
est because Of his strength, his reserve, and
his uncompromising willpower in the face OF
obstacles.
Truman has been auded as healthy presi-
dent in a world of sick statesme. Perhaps
this perfect health of his, accounts for his
happy attitude. A physical ailment will often
wreck an individuals personality and mind
Certainly, perfect health makes for better
ability to cope with problems. Therefore, il
comparison, Roosevelt's fral health ma
have had little to do with his tendency, t
occasionally compromise. Then too, his: po
sition with the moneyed men Of the worl'
may have affected his attitudes. Ghandi wa
once a wealthy man, for example, but he re
nounced his riches, as did Tolstoi, and aie

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

The subject of the Lesson Sermon
IN all Churches of Christ, Scientist,
IN Sunday, December IS, will be:
rs THE UNIVERSE, INCLUD.
ING MAN, EVOLVED BY
ATOMIC FORCE?"
The Golden Text is:
"Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast
made the heaven and the earth
by thy great power and stretched
out arm, and there is nothing
too hard for thee" der. 80: 10.
Among the citations which COM
prise the Lesson Sermon, the fol-
owing are from the Bible:
GIN the beginning God created
the heaven and the earth |. !.
And God said, Let US make man
in our image, after our likeness:
-. So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female
created he them . y. And God
saw everything that he had
made, and behold, it was very
good" (Gen. 1: l, rs, ~, 81.
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
a he following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
snce and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Man is the family name for all
ideas,-the sons and daughters of
God. All that God imparts moves
in accord with Him, rejecting
goodness and power ;. The SUBJ
stance, Life, intelligence, Truth
and Love, which constitute Deity,
are reflected by His creation;
and swhen we subordinate the
false testimony Of the corporeal
senses to the facts Of Science, we
shall see this true likeness and
reflection everywhere" Opp. 515,
516).
