- ' ALMOST SUPERHUMAN ( STRENGT IS EXHIBITED BY "HERCULES" POLO Star In Thrilling Universal Serial, "The Lure of the Circus" Flings Men About as Though They v Were Children. n An exhibition of strength that will make motion picture patrons gasp in n g amazement is given by Eddie Polo, star of "The Lure of the Circus," the sensational serial of circus life and big business which will be shown at the Opera House on Tuesday. Few of the many thousands of adSi mirers of the co-star with Marie . Walcamp in "Liberty", and "The I Bull's Eye", well known universal serials, realize that the daring actor ^ is known to the melical profession as "the perfect man", and that physically he measures up to the standards set by anatomists for male physique. In "The Lure of the Circus," the intrepid actor, who is a stranger to fear, performs some of.the most marvelous feats of strength ever witnessed. Vi ' Among the many tests of his su- ^ perhuman strength that will bfr-fea- ^ tares of the production will be the . lifting of ten of his companions in the circus on a plank suspendedfrom ^ Polo's shoulders. - -- ^ \ tJ Two heavy draft horses will be al- ^ lowed to see-saw on a plank across g Polo's chest, and in another scene two Shetland ponies will be lifted clear of the ground and suspended in ^ midair by the actor, who is acknowledged to be the strongest man of the ^ age. v 0 For many years Polo was an ae- ^ rial artist with many of the largest n circus organizations, and his early training and constant practice since 4 entering the moving picture field ^ has kept him in the pink of condition.

Upon receipt of the news of the marvelous deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians Jethro went out to meet Moses. 2. The object (w. 2-4). It was to bring to Moses fail's wife and children. When Qod called him to go to Egypt to deliver his people Moses did not desm It wise to take with him Lis, wife and children, therefore Ifft jh#* with his father-in-law. Now that Qod mad wrought so wonderfully It was deemed wlje for his family to join him. " 8. The place (w. 5, 61. it Mt Sinai, where the Israelites wore encamped. J I. Nnn' to J thro (18: 7-12). l&ees bonered him not only as bis fatber-ln-law, bat u the priest of MidIan. Jethro, though outside of the covenant people, evidently retained traditions ef 0>e true God, as Melchlsedek before him did. It seems to have bees a case of mutual affection and esteem. Moses rehearsed to Jethro the venders which God had wroufht through him, and Jethro. (1) '<Rejolced for all tile goodness which the Lord had dene ante Pharaoh sod the Egyptians for Israel's sake" (v. 9). (2) Blessed the Lord (v. 10). (8) Confessed the suyremaey of the Lord (v. U). (4) Offersd sacrifices to God (v. iy. III. Jethro's Counsel (18:13-26). 1. The occasion thereof (w. 13-18), The day after Jethro came to Mosea he Observed how completely Moses" time was taken in judging Israel. When he saw the greatness of the task be inquired as to why he was doing the work all slone. . Jethro was a shrewd man?he saw that a wise administration of affairs would make a division of labor. Moses explained to him that his task was not merely a matter of judging, but of teaching the statutes and laws of God to the people. Jethro recognised Moses' motive, but Insisted that the method was not a good one, as it would result In the wasting away of his strength. Many times one wastes his strength in doing that whlrh nthara could do so that he Is unable to 4o the more Important things. 2. Jetbro*s plan (tv. 19-23). <1) Moses to be unto the people Godward ,?to bring tbelr causes onto God and teach them the ordinances and laws, to show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work which they must do. (2) Suitable men should be provided as rotors over thousands hundreds, fifties and tena (v. 21). All great matters should be disposed ot by Moses and all subsidiary matters -should be adjusted by these judges. 3. Qualifications of these subordinate judges (v. 21). (1) "Able men," that Is, men of strength. They most be men of such intellectual power as would enable them to understand the problems presented, and of such will power as to execnte the, judgments rendered. A strong man Is one who knows his own mt&4 and Is faithful to It. (2) "Such as fear God.M This la the basis of true strength. Only those are fit to judge sad rule men who. recognise the rule of <God over their lives. The true statesman is the man who gives God the rightful place Id his life. The one who really trusts and (ears God can be trusted to administrate the affairs of men. (8) "Men of troth." The one who really trusts and fears God must himself be a loves of the truth. He must be willing to follow after the truth at any cost His nature must be open to the truth. (4) "Hating covetousness." He must be a hater of unjust gain. The man who Is to be a ruler of the people must be free from hla rirnfaa. IUC Buoyiuvu ?X AVTA ivnui| uto y4v*v? slon because of personal gala.

This common sense advice met a response in Moses* heart He recognized that God was speaking through Jethro. After all, the knowledge and fear of .God was wider than the chosen people. According to Deuteronomy 1:9-18 the people selected the jodxes and Moses appointed them. Like a Stream. All events are like a stream of water flowing past, a stream without color and without form.
