Sermon ...
(Continued Prom First Page)
tiated by evidence that would car-
ry any court cue today.
No wonder Simon Oreenleaf,
the greatest authority on legal
evidence, was a firm believer in
the New Testament. No wonder
other prominent lawyers, schooled
in the science of studying evidence,
have been convinced by their study
of the records.
Mr. Irwin H. Linton, a distin-
guished lawyer still living in Wash-
ington, D. C. , has said that for
thirty-five years he has questioned
innumerable lawyers atout their
faith in the Bible. Never, he says,
has he met one who has studied
the evidence without accepting it.
The records of the New Testa-
ment were written by eyewitnesses
whose reliability is beyond dispute.
John the apostle writes: "That . . .
which we have heard, which we
have seen with our eyes . . . and
our hands have handled" (1 John
1:1). Hearing sight, touch—what
other evidence is there? They are
the only evidence a court of law
will accept.
In concluding his Gospel record
of Jesus' life John writes: "These
are written that ye might believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God: and that believing ye
might have life through his name"
(John 20:31). He invites careful
scrutiny of the record. "Read what
I've written," he says. "Don't be-
lieve blindly, but examine the evi-
dence on which true faith rests."
That invitation still stands. Don't
swallow blindly. Read the record
and believe it. Why try to escape?
Jesus Christ offers forgiveness for
sin . . . peace with God . . . pur-
pose for living. You want them.
Can you find them elsewhere?

RULER OF THE PLAINS
Although there are some speci-
mens remaining in zoos and parks,
most Americans have never seen
a Bison, except on a "buffalo"
nickel. Yet less than a hundred
years ago some 20 millions of the
great shaggy beasts roamed at
will over a broad area of the
United States.
Scientists class the bison as a
specie of wild oxen. Some speci-
mens stood six feet high at the
shoulder, wenghed almost a ton.
and measured ten to eleven feet
from nose to tip of tail. The bison's
thick horns sometimes reached a
length of two feet and its large
l;ody was covered with shaggy hair
growing thick on its humped
shoulders.
The full-grown buffalo had little
to fear from the other animals
in its region. Now and then a
hungry mountain lion might ven-
ture to attack an old buffalo, and
it sometinmes happened that a
grizzly bear might chance an en-
counter. Wolf packs preyed on
buffalo calves, but seldom risked
attacking a grown bison. It re-
mained for men with guns to ex-
terminate almost completely the
great herds that once dominated
the Western Plains.
Selfredge Field, Michigan, is
named for the first American army
officer killed In an airplane crash.
This happened in 1908.
In the 10-year period from 1930
to 1939, Inclusive, the Green Bay
Packers won the national profes-
ional football championship four
times, twice as often as any other
team.
Parts of the states of Kansas,
Nebraska, New Mexico and Utah
went to make up the new territory
'^f Colorado in 1861. It was ad-
mitted to the Union as a state in
1870, and Colorado has the most
regular boundry lines of any of
the 48 states.
Brazil was settled in 1731 by
colonists from Portugal and its
national language is still Portu-
guese. In 1815 the colony was
declared a kingdom and was ruled
by an emperor until 1891, when
the regning sovereign was deposed
and the nation was declared a
republic under the title "United
States of Brazil,"

OTTOMAN
That decorative and comfortable
thing on which your feet are rest-
ing was named by the French,
but the word goes straight back
to a gent named Othoman, a
sulton who took over the govern-
ment of Turkey at the turn of the
14th century. Ottoman means ot
or pertaining to the Turks. The
French, centuries after Othoman's
reign, developed a stuffel seat
with no back and called it an
"Ottomane" because the . Turks
used that sort of furniture. We
got the word (and probably the
furniture) from the French.
Superman & Palooka
Are Going To School
Denton, Tex., July 10—Joe Pa-
looka and Superman are going to
school.
And they aren't hidden behind
history texts or unfler Johnny's
English book, either. For comic
books are now taking their place
on the shelves of elementary schools
throughout the nation as important
instruments in progressive educa-
tion, according to Dr. Lavada Rat-
liff of the North Texas State Col-
lege education faculty. A study in
the use of comics in the class-
room Is being made this summer
by students in Dr. Ratllff's educa-
tion class.
Since children bring "Funnies"
into their classrooms anyway, teach-
ers decided to make comics work
for, instead of against, education,
Dr. Ratllff says. Now clever in-
structors are going to make Li'l
Abner and Terry and the Pirates
and their associates help teach

A modern counterpart of fairy
tales, the comic strip supplies drama
and action to classroom work. For
instance, a comic-strip character
may venture to the Amazon. After
allowing students to enjoy the ad-
venture of the story, a teacher
may help point out the geographic
position of the Amazon, it's size
and surroundings. Historic asso-
ciations may be introduced in the
discussion, and students will re-
member more and have a better
perspective than they would have
attained from reading the same
data from a textbook.
