Few children went to school
during the Middle Ages. These
were fortunate, in sense, but
many of them suffered harsh
treatment from their teachers.
They were whipped when they
failed to learn their lessons.
For hundreds of years it was
the custom in Southern and
Western Europe to teach pupils
to read and write in the Latin
language, instead of their own.
A French boy, for example,
would learn to write in Latin,
but might never know how to
write two dozen French words.
The same plan was followed in
England.
All over England it was the
custom to have schools for boys,
but perhaps only three or four
boys in a hundred would go to
them. AS to girls. they were ex-
pected to stay at home and at
tAnd to their household work.

Famous French castle at

It was a rare woman who knew
the art of writing during the
Middle Ages.
There was constant drill in
Latin at the schools. The boys
usually wrote at least one Latin
composition q week.
After learning Latin. some Of
the pupils dropped out Of school.

Contract Bridge

himself that if he ever got out

5 hearts All Pass
AS it happened, the final re-
suit was something less than a
catastrophe, as Mr.. Meek made
five hearts by a nice play.
The king of diamonds was
opened and he won with
dummy's ace. He saw that he
could win IL tricks if Mrs.
Keen had both king and queen
of spades or if she held the ten
OF spades and one higher honor.
It then occurred to him that
II the outstanding trumps were
divided 2-2 he could make his
contract. even if both the king
and queen of spades were in
Mr.. Abel'S hand provided the
ten wasn't there. too). He
planned to do this by the simple
expedient of having the enemy
lead spades for him.
But there was some impor-
tant preliminary work to be
done. At trick two Mr.. Meek
led low heart to the ace. He
then led a club and cashed
dummy's ace and king. He led
back small club and ruffed
it with the ten of hearts.
Next came a low heart to
dummy's king and both oppo-
nents followed suit. Dummy's
last club was ruffed in the closed
hand and it was now time to
give the defenders their dia-
n1ond trick.
Mrs. Keen won the diamond
lead with the ten. She looked
for a safe return but there was
none. If she led another dia-
mond Mr.. Meek would discard
the eight of spades from the
board and ruff in his hand, thus
helding his spade losers to one.
Mrs. Keen decided to return
the trey of spades. But this was
no good either. Mr.. Meek played
small from the board and Mr..
Abel won with the queen. The
defense was now dead. AS be-
fore, a diamond lead would give
Mr.. Meek a stuff and ruff. A
spade return would go, into
dummy'S ace-jack.
There are a thousand varia-
tons of this situation. The point.
to remember, of course, is that
when you have a dangerous key
suit, try to avoid leading it your
self. Let the enemy lead it. It
will almost always cost them a
trick.

know that Christ is risen should
have the courage to expect new
power to break through every
human barrier.
8. It is not enough that
Christians should seek peace for
themselves. They must seek
justice for others. Great masses
Of people in many parts of the
world are hungry for bread, and
are compelled to live in condi-
tons which. mock their human
worth. Does your church speak
and act against such injustice?
Millions Of men and women are
suffering segregation and dis
elimination on the ground Of
race. Is your church willing to

declared, that this is contrary
to the will of God, and to act
on that declaration? Do you
pray. regularly for those who
suffer unjust discrimination on
grounds of race, religion or
political convictions?
World Wide Fellowship.
10. The church of Christ Is
today a worldwide fellowship,
yet there are countless people to
whom He is unknown. How
much do you care about this?
Does your congregation live for
itself, or for the world around it
and beyond it? Does its COM
mon life, and does the daily work
of it's members in the world, af-
firm the lordship of Christ or
deny it?
IL. God does not leave any of
us to stand alone. In every place
He has gathered us together to
be His family, in which His gifts
and His forgiveness are received.
Do you forgive one another as
Christ fergave you? Is your con-
gregation a true family of God,
where every man can find a
home and know that God loves
him without limit?
II. We are not sufficient for
these things. But Christ is suffi-
cient. We do not know what is
coming to us. But we know Who
is coming. It is He who meets
us every day and Who will meet
us at the end-Jesus Christ our
Lord.
IS. Therefore we say to you:
Rejoice in hope.

s. Now we would speak
through our member churches
directly to each congregation.
Six years ago our churches

this council, and affirmed their
intention to stay together. We
thank God for His blessing on
our work and fellowship during
these six years. We enter now
upon a second stage. To stay
together is not enough. We

| EVANSTON. H., Aug. 81
| FOLLOWING is the tert OF the
general message approved last
night By the second assembly
OF the World Council OF
| Churches:
l. To all our fellow Christians,
and to our fellowmen everywhere,
we send greetings in the name of
Jesus Christ. We affirm our
! faith in Jesus Christ as the hope
of the world, and desire to share
that faith with all men. May
God forgive us that by our sin
we have often hidden this hope
from the world.
2. In the ferment of our time
there are both hopes and fears.
1t is indeed good to hope for free
dom, justice and peace, and it is
Gods will that we should have
these things. But He has made
us for higher end. He has
made us for Himself, that we
might know and love Him. wor-
ship and serve Him. Nothing
other than God can ever satisfy
the heart of man. Forgetting
this, man becomes his own en-
envy. He seeks justice but
creates oppression. He wants
peace but drifts towards war.
His very mastery of nature
threatens him with ruin. Whether
he acknowledges it or not, he
stands under the judgment of
God and under the shadow of
death.
Hope of Every Age.
3. Here where we stand, Jesus
Christ stood with us. He came
to us true God and true Man
to seek and to save. Though we
were the enemies of God, He
died for us. We crucified Him,
but God raised Him from the
dead. He is risen. He has over
come the powers of sin and
death. A new life has begun.
And in His risen and assembled
power He has sent forth into the
world new community bound
together by His spirit, sharing
His divine life, and commission
ed to make Him known through
out the world. He will come
again as Judge and King to
bring all things to their con-
summation. Then we shall see
Him as He is and know as we
are known. Together with the
whole creation we wait for this
with eager hope, knowing that
God is faithful and that even
now He holds all things in His
hands.
4. This is the hope of Gods
people in every age, and we COM
mend it afresh today to all who
will listen. To accept it is to
turn from our ways to Gods
way. It is to live as forgiven
sinners, as children growing in
His love. It is to have our citi-
zenship in that kingdom which
all mans sin is impotent to
destroy, that realm of love and
joy and peace which lies about
all men, through unseen. 1t is
to enter with Christ into the
suffering and despair of men,
sharing with them the great
secret Of that kingdom which
they do not expect. It is to
know that whatever men may
do. Jesus reigns and shall reign.
S. With this assurance we can
