Their twelve-year-old Tommy has been selected to play Tom Sawyer in the Selznick-Intemational film of the Ma^rk Twain classic. Such an opportunity for a young ster would be a dramatic thunder bolt in any family, but for the Kellys it was the first good break in years. Papa Kelly has been on the relief rolls for two years, his jobs as jani tor in a school and life-guard at a beach having dwindled to nothing. Mama Kelly has been to the movies only three times in her 23 years of marriage. Tommy and his father are in Hollywood now, and Michael gets a day's extra work every now and then while his son is being groomed for stardom. When you see Claudette Colbert in *T Met Him in Paris" you will find it the gayest, most utterly delightful film in many months.

G RUYERES dons festive et- tire on August first. It is the Swiss Fourth of July, and colorful ceremonies ere the order of the day. At dusk bells begin pealing joy ously as you climb the steep path to the town. As you listen to the melodious tones you consider how much these bells mean in the lives of the peo ple. They toll for funerals and na tional tragedies, clang out the time, summon to church, proudly ring out the glad tidings of victory, political or military, and sing hymns and old airs at the whim of the caril- lonneur. Each call has a distinctive tone. Bells have spoken thus for centuries. But this excited paean means on ly that some great event is about to take place It inspires in you as you burry along with the stream of laughing, tinging country folk, that same expectant thrill that you felt aa a boy whan you rhaoad the a cyw> Is. gray bnrran way la re**! new snow, end tiny skullcaps like those of college freshmen, only made of straw. Every Man Hat Bis Big Pipe. Some of these men come down from the high pastures to attend the fete. Each has his inevitable pipe, huge and cumbersome, with n lid to keep the sparks from flying on a windy day. Behind their lords gaily march the maids and matrons, full-scale models of the infanta. Broad- brimmed hats with black velvet streamers set off the good looks ot these blond Swiss demoiselles and their brilliant dresses. You turn to your Swiss friend, who has brought you here to his favorite village and knows his na tive land like a book. "I always understood that costumes were nev er worn any more In Switzerland.

How much that ia like life. But, thanks be to God, no one need stay in bondage. The way to liberty is open and free. The Lord Jesus Christ opened it at Calvary’s tree and anyone who is still the bond slave of Satan may make this a great and glorious Independence day by now declaring hia faith in the deliverer of our souls! We begin today a series of les sons in the book of Exodus which reveal the high and mighty hand of God working on behalf of his people.

TVs peal of the bells ceases, the ; echoes die away In the mountains From afar the faint notes of aa ap proaching band coma through the hush. The music ia that stirring song. "La Rant des Vaches " Tradition says King Louis XIV for bade hia bands to play it, for the lilting tune made his Swiss mer cenaries so homesick that they would weep and desert the colors when they heard It. Even today, when a Swiss is far from home, th# refrain brings tears to his eyes. It produces that same ' tingling along the spine that a United States Naval academy man feels when “Anchors Aweigh," is played. Soon you see emerging from be neath the arch a file of tots, gay in Gruyerien costumes. At once a chatter begins in the audience, as mothers and fathers recognize their offspring. A vivacious little bride and handsome young bridegroom lead the parade. So small and neat do they seem that they might have been animated dolls paddling along —a Swiss edition of the Chauve Souris. Each “doll” looks searchingly at the spectators. Every now and then one breaks into a blushing smile and shyly turns away; perhaps a parent had been glimpsed in the throng.

A whirling cartwheel, on a post above the fountain, ia the mad cli max to tha fireworks spectacle. While a sea ef shouting, happy youngsters watch, a daredevil climbs up gingerly and steals tha still red-hot frame aa a souvenir. You go into the hostelry for dinner. Entering, you pass the large kitchen with cooks and kitchen maids scurrying around with their array of shining copper pots and pans. The delicious aromas that come from that spotless kitchen are tan talizing appetizers. Your charming hostess, matronly in her colorful costume with a dainty Swiss lace shawl thrown over her shoulders, insists that you come out on her terrace for a moment. You go rather reluctantly, for it is nine o’clock and you are hungry. You are astounded by the view, as you step out onto the gravelly balcony, perched on the brink of a precipice. A ring of jeweled lights, sparkling from the mountains, en circles you. “What are they?’’ You ask your hostess. “Huge bonfires built by the herds men to celebrate August the First.** “You mean all of those twinkling lights, some down low in the valley and others high on the mountains, are specially built fires?

Does God really know when his people suffer? Does he really care? Yes, he does. “They cried," and •‘God heard" and “remembered." That’s all we need to know. The groanings of hia people had al ready stirred God’s gracious and tender heart. But he waited to hear their cry before he answered. Such is the law of prayer. May we not forget it. Far too often we turn to everyone and everything else, and finally, in desperation, to God. Why not turn to him first? As we opened this lesson with an appeal for all who knew not Christ as Saviour to make this the day of their Declaration of Independence, so we close by appealing to all God’s children to let him make their ears as sensitive as hia to the cry of the oppressed, that this national holiday may find every' Christian citizen tender in heart and liberal in deed toward the oppressed.
