Fred Snite Jr., left, 28-year-old Chicago youth, an infantile paralysis victim whose life for the past three
years has depended on an “iron lung,” was recently placed on board ship for the first lap of his journey
to the Grotto of Miracles in Lourdes, France, where he will seek strengthening of his religious philosophy.
Bight: Prvid Van Wallace, 32, bed-ridden for 15 years because of a broken neck, will visit the Grotto of Mira-
eles some time in July. The Notre Dame club of Detroit, Mich., heard of Wallace’s desire to visit Lourdes,
and took steps to insure the journey.

Who’ll Get the Call for 1940?
It May Be One of These Men
T ODAY* a host of Presidential aspirants crowd the political
scene, but their numbers will be sifted down to one Democrat
and one Republican before another year is out, leading to the
1940 election. President Roosevelt lias yet to decline a third term
offer. Provided he does not run, astute observers say they’re posi
tive one of the following men will occupy the White House seat
from 1941 to 1944. Picture Parade “thumbnails” their careers,
reviews their private and political histories and recites the quali
fications which—according to their sponsors—should make them
contenders for America’s No. 1 elective position.
Although 600 years have passed since they died together, the legend of Romeo and Juliet, immortalized
by Shakespeare, still attracts more than 100,000 visitors yearly to picturesque Verone, on the banks of the
Po river in northern Italy. Today’s legend is that if a girl in love pays a visit to Juliet’s tomb, the course
of her true love will be as smooth as Juliet’s was stormy. Left: The famed balcony, where Juliet sig
naled her lover, still stands. Center: A hopeful maiden prays at Juliet’s crypt in a stone-lined, dimly lighted
room. Right: The girl drops a message into a box marked “MaU for Juliet.” The girl was alone as it is
considered bad luck for an engaged couple to visit the tomb together.

“They say. What do they say?
Let them say!” So reads the in
scription over a doorway of one of
the great schools of England. What
does it mean? It bespeaks the con
fidence of a life lived so nobly that
the barbs flung out by wicked and
slanderous tongues may be faced
without fear, in fact, ignored.
The best defense against the at
tacks of men is the testimony of a
good life. Paul had lived such a
life, and consequently when the
hour came for him to speak in his
own defense, he needed but to point
to the record. It is significant that
his enemies did not deny the facts.
They could only , cry out, throw off
their garments and throw dust in
the air while they shouted, “Away
with such a fellow from the earth!”
(Acts 22:22-24). They did, indeed,
manufacture accusations against
him, but even the heathen officials
knew enough to throw these out of
court. The impotent rage shown
by wicked men when they run up
against the consistent testimony of
a true Christian life is one of the
strongest of testimonies to the gen
uineness of faith.
At first glance the portions as
signed for our lesson seem some
what unrelated though taken from
the same general narrative. A little
study reveals a surprising unity.
I. A Matter of Conviction (21:40—
22:4).
Many men • and women have no
real convictions. They are Repub
licans or Democrats because their
fathers were, and often they have
not the remotest idea of what it all
means. They are members of a cer
tain denomination because they
were brought up in it, and have little
knowledge of its teachings and no
definite convictions relative to them.
Paul was a Christian because of
strong personal convictions of the
deepest kind. He was reared in a
tradition which made him a bitter
persecutor of the followers of Christ,
and it was a personal experience
of the regenerating grace of God in
Jesus Christ whi'> made him into
the bond slave Ox the One he had
persecuted. We need more of that
kind of know-so and say-so type of
faith. Joining a church as one
might join a social club means noth
ing—but following Christ in full and
free devotion is everything.
II. A Matter of Authority (24:14-
16).
Just as Paul’s life was built on
faith which was inward, based on
personal convictions, it was also a
faith that was Godward, based on
the authority of His Word. The
Jews might call it heresy, but Paul
stood on “all things which are writ
ten” (v. 14); he had a “hope toward
God” (v. 15), and “a conscience
void of offence toward God” (v. 16).
Those who ridicule Christianity
would have it that faith is really
credulity. They say we believe
things which we do not know to be
true, while hoping that they may
somehow prove to be so. A man
who reads these notes in his home
town newspaper recently wrote to
ask me if I was fool enough to be
lieve the things I wrote. The fact is
that we, even as did Paul, have the
strongest of all foundations for our
faith, namely the Word of God.
Men act in faith on the word of their
fellow men—their very existence is
all bound up in that faith in men
whom they hardly know. They be
lieve them, but they will not believe
God. I suggested to my correspond
ent that he read I Corinthians 1:18-
25 and 2:14.
Christian faith calls for a personal
belief, but that belief is not in any
word of man, but in the Word of
God, which abideth forever.
III. A Matter of Witness (26:19-
23).
Inward, Godward, and now out
ward in witness—these are the three
relationships of Paul’s good life. He
could plead in his own defense the
record of his life, for he had not
selfishly cherished a fellowship with
God which had lighted and warmed
his own soul and then left his fellow
man to sit in the chilling darkness
of sin. He was obedient to the
heavenly vision (v. 19), and
preached repentance, faith, and
good works to both Jew and Gentile
(v. 20), continuing to do so with
God’s help even in the face of severe
persecution.
Some people are just so good that
they are “good for nothing.” Such
men do not reflect the goodness of
God. Every attribute of God is an
active one. He is love and He does
love. He not only is good, but He
does good. His children should be
like Him. They are not saved only
that they may escape hell and enjoy
the peace of God. They are saved
to serve in the winning of others to
Christ. Let us covet such a good
life as that which Paul lived. Our
bewildered age needs the sanctify
ing and stabilizing influence of such
lives!
