Last week 10,000 delegates gathered in Paris to mark the 100th anniversary of the World's Alliance of Young Men's Christian Associations. As Delegate Franklin told his story, the football seemed an appropriate symbol of the Y.M.C.A.'s rugged, straightforward and successful type of Christianity...

Christy got on the floor at Dr. Collis' new clinic alongside infants and children, and painstakingly practiced the most elementary muscle-training exercises. Dr. Collis, an amateur playwright, also coached Christy in his writing. He learned a simple, straightforward style which helps him to convey a deep understanding of the problems of the cerebral palsied. Now he can talk to strangers and walk across a room. As reward for long forbearance, Christy is allowed to use his left foot for such special tasks as creative writing (his autobiography was written entirely in this...
