1L 1H7 GQ Ducky A certain rather exclusive club had replaced its familiar black- coated staff with young and, in some cases, pretty waitresses. One day a member who hac been strongly opposed to the change arrived at the club for lunch. “How’s the chicken?” he asked an attractive waitress rather gruffly. v “Oh, I’m fine,” she repliec perkily. “And how’s the old pel ican himself feeling?” Magistrate (to talkative prison er)—Will you stop talking and al low me to get in a short sentence?

But Ike would have given a couple, of million dollars to have been left out of the cast. First we go back to the early days of moving pictures—1915 to be exact—when Ike was employed as a technician at the Universal studios in Hollywood. Animal pictures were going great In those dgys and there was a complete zoo on the lot. The king of that collection of beasts was Char lie, an elephant bought from a circus. Charlie was a good actor, but no body could handle him except Curley, his personal trainer. Well, Dee stepped into the dramatic part of the picture when Direc tor Smalley began staging the wedding procession of an Indian prince It was comedy, and, for the parts of the Indian prince and his bride two actors, weighing nearly 400 pounds each, were cast Ike’s job wai to build a huge canopied chair in which the prince and princess were tc ride in state on the back of Charhe, the elephant. Charlie Didn’t Like Ike. Ike finished the royal howdah. Workmen tried to budge it and found that it weighed nearly 2,000 pounds. Twelve men heaved and strug gled to saddle CharUe with the gorgeous structure. Then, 700 pounds of prince and princess went up the ladder. That’s where Charlie took a dislike to Ike. And then, when the direc tor caUed for more ornaments, Ike put a stepladder against Charlie’s side and climbed up. There was Charlie’s chance. He whipped his trunk around, seised Dee by the leg, trumpeted In anger and lifted him for a dash to the ground. Curley, the trainer, sank his curved elephant hook into Charlie’s fore head and Ike limped away. That was his first round with his monstrous enemy. The trainer knew elephants. He knew what to expect in the future, so he warned Ike. “Charlie’s going bad,” he said. “He’D kill you the first chance he gets.” Ike did watch out. But one night a wild chimpanzee cleverly opened his cage and almost killed a keeper. Ike hurried over to devise a lock that the chimp couldn’t open. Charlie’s big stall was next door. He sensed Ike’s presence and went berserk. He lifted his iron water tub Charlie Reduced Jerusalem to a Wreck. and beat at his chains and bars around his enclosure. The whole zoo trem bled from the elephant’s fury. Curley, the trainer, again rushed to the rescue. “For God’s sake, Ike, leave this studio if you value your life,” Curley said. “CharUe’s turned killer. He’s out for you. Lucky for you his chains held.” Ike took no more chances. He gave Charlie a wide berth. But one day, when his work called him to a remote part of the movie lot, he founded a hill and ran smack into Charlie, tethered to an anchor of poles and railroad iron, driven into the ground. The Elephant Really “Went Bad.” Ike had no time to turn back. The bull elephant, ears flattened against his head, eyes blazing and his trumpeting echoing from the hills, charged. Rosen was trapped. His only chance was to dive for a shallow gully that separated the movie lot from an Indian village. He flung himself into the gully and flattened himself against the side. The earth was vibrating under those plunging feet. Ike only hoped for a quick death. Then, there was a clank of chains—the groanings of the heavy anchor poles set deep in the ground. Charlie had reached the end of his chain. His head was jerked down. He stumbled, plowed the earth. The maddened beast was halted only a few feet from Ike’s hiding place. Rosen could see those bloodshot eyes gleaming with hatred—a lust to kill. The long trunk slashed out in fury. Ike felt a thud on the side of his head as Charlie’s trunk grazed him and snatched off his cap. For a moment big Charlie paused to hurl his enemy’s cap beneath his feet and trample it to ribbons. That pause saved Rosen. He was on his feet, running, limp and ripping with cold sweat. But Charlie bided his time. For days he worked quietly. And then, during the making of a spectacular film in a setting of Old Jerusalem,- Ike crossed the set and came face to face with his old foe. Once more Charlie charged in an insane desire to crush the man who had tortured him with that huge, 2,000-pound saddle in the earlier pic ture. But this time Ike was in the clear. He ducked to safety. The jaffled elephant, once more cheated of his vengeance, turned upon the set. Jerusalem, with all its splendor—thousands of dollars worth of costly settings—crashed into a heap of dust and splinters. This time Charlie did not quiet down. He was ready to kill anything In sight. Men with long, spiked poles, ripped his hide and jabbed him into helpless submission—but only for a moment. How the Killer Was Killed. A few days later he saw Ike in the distance and went into another frenzy. Rosen scurried out of sight, but Charlie, thirsting for a kill, seized his trainer, Curley, lifted him high into the air, dashed him to earth and then, with his massive forehead, ground him into the dust. Curley was killed instantly. “Killer elephant!” The words set Hollywood trembling. It was no longer, ia single foe. It was the life of any humau being. Charlie must die, studio officials ruled. But how? Poison and dyna mite were rejected as not sure enough. Ike Rosen’s technical skill was enlisted. Despite his narrow escape, he hated to be Charlie’s executioner, mt many lives were at stake. A heavy wire cable was rigged over pulleys, looped around Charlie’s neck and lashed to two heavy trucks, headed in opposite directions. The trucks started. The loop tightened. Cables sang with the strain. CharUe ooked sorrowfuUy and inquiringly at the men around him. His knees suckled, his head sank. His great bulk rolled over—dead from strangu lation. ©—WNU Service. The Inns of England The inns of England have their I'oundations in the depths of the Mid dle ages. Some of them have seen the almost prehistoric changes from crude earthen floors to stone floors and from stone floors to mats of rushes. They have sheltered kings and pilgrims, merchants and all kinds of travelers, and between the occasions of more spectacular hos- ?itality they havt gathered about hem all the richness of the social ife of the neighborhood, for it is at the inn that men have always met and expanded a personal and polit ical philosophy. The United States Constitntion The United States Constitution is the basis of government in this country and is the highest and most permanent law. It was adopted Sep tember 17, 1787, by the federal con vention and ratified the foUowing year. It may be amended by a vote of two-thirds In congress, followed by the approval of three-quarters of the state legislatures or state con ventions. It specifies how congress and the President are elected, the powers and duties of President, con gress and the judiciary and the rela tion between state and federal gov ernments.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- C—The Christian Minister in the Mod- rn World. “The Christian Minister”—there s no greater calling among men, mt non* Is more often the target or misiepresentation and abuse by hose outside, and all too often the ictim of the carelessness, weakness, ■nd sin of those within its own clr- le. On the other hand it has had, tnd continues to nave to this day* vithin its ranks such a noble army if faithful and sacrificial men as vould probably be impossible to du- ilicate in any other calling. The study of today's lesson should irouse in the hearts of Christian oeople a high regard for the minis try as a calling, and a kindly pur pose to aid their minister to live up to its glorious possibilities. Every true minister who studies it will And his spirit humbled before God in thanksgiving for the privilege of service, and in prayer that he may be forgiven for his failures and em powered for the work of the future. The need for such a study is indi cated in the verses just preceding our lesson, namely, I Timothy 4:15, where we read of the express warn ing of the Spirit of God that in the latter times there should be teach ing and preaching which departed from the faith, substituting men’s wisdom for God’s Word. One who looks around him cannot but feel that we have fallen upon that evil day. We do well to give heed to the clear teaching of our lesson re garding the ministry. I. What to Preach (I Tim. 4:6-9). The “good minister of Jesus Christ” preaches the words of God. To do this he must himself be “nourished” by them. Spare your preacher the necessity of running errands, serving on boards and committees, and encourage him to study his Bible. Preacher, are you studying God’s Book, learning and teaching “good doctrine”? If so you will have no interest in or time for ’’profane and old wives fables.” II. How to Preach (I Tim. 4:10- 12). 1. Sacriflcially (v. 10). The man who regards the ministry as a nice, easy, respectable occupation is not in the same calling as was the apos tle Paul. In fact, there is nothing to indicate that he is in the Chris tian ministry at all, for in that call ing there is labor and suffering of reproach. This i* not something to be borne in a spirit of resigned sub mission. The minister knows and “trusts in the living God,” and gladly bears every responsibility with which God may entrust him. 2. Authoritatively (v. 11). The minister of Christ speaks for God. In doing so he teaches with assur ance and is to “command” men in the Lord’s name. All too often the servants of the Lord feel and act like “grasshoppers” (see Numbers 13:33), and everybody else regards them as feeble and impotent, when they should be “strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (II Tim. 2:1). 3. Actively (v. 12). Whether young or old, the minister is to be an ex ample, a pattern in his active daily life. Ndte how discriminating is the scripture. He is to be a pattern for others in speech, manner of living, in love, in spirit, in faith, and In purity of life. * III. Who Is to Preach (I Tim. 4:13-16). 1. The man who is divinely called (v. 14). God called Timothy; men recognized that c^U and ordained him to give his life to the exercise of his God-presented gift. This is the right order for our day. 2. The man who is properly pre pared (vv. 13, 15-16). The ministry calls for the best preparation that a man can possibly obtain. He must know how to read God’s Word, both publicly and privately. He is to be skilled in exhortation, and in teach ing Christian doctrine. In conclusion, let us consider the portion from II Timothy 2 which properly presents the work of the minister as that of a soldier at war against the world, the flesh, and the devil. He must be prepared to bear hardness, and he must not yield ti the temptation to get into "side lines,” no matter how dignifled ani. profitable they may be. His sole business is to serve and to please God. Paul's overflowing heart pours oui upon Timothy, and upon true Chris tian soldiers of awaiting centuries, a flood of heartening counsel prom ises of grace sufficienf to meet all certain afflictions and persecutions The age of subtle persecution of vi tal and faithful Christians is nol past, therefore the promises that pertained to Timothy are for true believers of the present day.
