And this is Ray.” The two doctors shook hands solemnly with Ray and Joe “We have something in com- }mon that I'll bet you haven't | thought of,” the latter said with a twinkle as he shook hands with Ray. “I was born in 1925. You must have been born about the same year, considering your ap- parent age and the fact that you skipped half a century of time.” “That’s the year of my birth!” Ray exclaimed, startled. “Well, I’ll be darned.

We operate and bring out the nerve ends that are to do the controlling, and at- tach them to devices that do something harmless—like operat- ing a light switch or ringing a bell. Something tangible but harmless. Then you have a period of learning to do what you intend to do, until we’re sure you won't get confused.

RAY Seldom do we realize to the full just how important a role the church plays in the moral and spiritual fabric of the town. We ‘know that church spires reach toward heaven, beckoning man- ykind to stop, look and listen through the rush of the day's monotonous routines. Yet, man- kind is not aware of the churches’ worth to the subconscious work- ing upon the character. Speaking of the worth and impact of the churches upon man-ind‘s thought and direction, I am reminded of @ newspaper's account of a ter- tible cyclone. It read: “We are pleased to announce that the cyclone which recently blew over the Baptist Church did no real damage to the town.” Poor sen- te itructure to be sure; but hidden in it we may find the truth.
