Between Fighting in Solomons
What wise man, two years
ago, would have predicted that
the lonely Solomon islands,
strewn in the path of the route
to Australia, would today be a
show-down battleground of the
United States and Japanese
forces?
i
U. S. marines took a vital air
field from the Japs on August
7-8, on Guadalcanal island, in
the Solomons. Since that time
the Japs have spent lots of
money, men and ships trying
to take it back. To keep it has
cost Uncle Sam much in money,
men and ships. But Old Glory
? is firmly planted on Guadal
canal, and on other islands of
the Solomon group.
These pictures give you in
timate close-ups of life as it
goes for our boys in these em
battled islands.

Snow White Furs to Fit Every
Purse Fill Winter Style Picture
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
CNOW white furs whether costly i
" or of the surprisingly inexpen
sive types are writing a fascinating I
chapter into the current winter fash- i
ion story. Style-alert college girls, 1
'teen-agers, careerists, ladies of i
more leisure, all are clamoring for i
the new white furs so outstanding i
in the fashion parade these days.
The younger set's preference is for 1
"sportsy," casual types like the cape 1
of white lambskin or the coat styled '
in boxy lines, or the lumber jacket
versions that are part of fur and
part of red or green wool. These
young moderns, having discovered
how adorable these white furs look
with their white jersey or white cor
duroy date dresses, are setting up
a hue and cry for "any kind of fur,
just so it's white."
The opera throngs pay homage to
exquisite ermine which all goes to
show that enthusiasm is running
high for white peltry whether it be
surprisingly inexpensive or of the
costly patrician type that costs a
"pretty penny."
For out and out flattery it's the
lovely snow white furs shown this
season that will give it to you. Wear
a snow white neck-piece (one of the
smart new stole types). Or, if it is
a coat, jacket or cape, or a com
plete ensemble including hat and
muff that you choose, be assured its
white magic will make you look
your prettiest wherever you go.
All dressed far skiing, sleighing
or skating is the merry-faced maid
en above to the left in the illustra
tion. Hers is typically a sports
outfit. The jacket is for the most
part of white fur, with just enough
bright wool fabric to stress color
contrast. The gloves and the hat of
white fur complete the ensemble.
Capes like the hooded white lamb
skin type centered at the top in the
above picture are going over big with
the college crowd. This sort of cape
is one of those treasurable posses
sions that can be worn over one's
suit in the daytime or over one's
winter sports outfit. And for eve
ning it makes the perfect wrap with
one's party frock. You'll love the
flattery of its face-framing hood,
and the fact that it is a reversible
type lined with Breton blue water
repellent poplin makes it perfect
for all-purpose wear. So, you see,
being made to "weather" the weath
er this cape not only ranks high in
flattery but is ever so practical as
well.
Trending to the somewhat shore
formal is the smart white coat to
the right. The fur is white South
American lamb. Here is a style
right coat that can go everywhere
and be in perfect taste.
The portrait in the inset shows
how exquisitely white ermine is at
tuned to jewels, to a smart formal
hairdo and to the environs of for
mal functions. Note the designful
detailing of the neckline. At many
dinner parties the long, sleek black
dinner gown worn with pearl jewel
ry, and topped with a tiny white
ermine dinner hat, with a dainty
white fur muff carried for effect,
constitutes the perfect formal cos
tume. With daytime suits little white
fur hats are worn, for fashion is
placing emphasis on white millinery
this season. Add white gloves, white
fur neckpiece and a muff for the en
semble de luxe. Often the hat is of
black velvet or felt with a bow or
swatch of white fur.

'Cover-Up' Style
Here you see the type o 1 dinner
gown for which best-dressed women
are expressing a decided preference
this winter. It has the slim lines,
the very swank "cover-up" look
which is so importantly stressed for
formal gowns. The bodice is smooth- i
ly molded to accent figure perfec
tion and, as you will observe, the
narrow skirt has a slit hemline that
gives an exotic air to the entire cos
tume picture. The decorative pock- i
ets dime in glistening beaded i
embroidery add the final touch of '
loveliness to this superb dinner 1
gown. i
Necessity Revives
Home Sewers' Art
Now that everyone must conserve
in every direction as a wartime vic
tory measure, women are turning to
home sewing as a means of making
the most of what they have. Espe
cially is the art of home sewing due
for a revival now that traveling and
motoring restrictions lead to more
stay-at-home days and long after
dark hours.
This new interest in the "make
your own" idea has so impressed
merchants there is a movement
throughout fashion centers to offer
sewing lessons in the larger stores.
The reaction to this movement has
been most encouraging and the urge
to sew is becoming widespread, so
much so that it is considered the
smart thing to be knitting, crochet
ing, doing fine needlework, and many
women are so ambitious they are
undertaking the family sewing.
Lace-Over-Print Idea
May Start a New Style
A very interesting and refreshingly !
new fashion was recently launched |
by a leading designer when a charm
ing two-piece was shown in an ad
vance collection.
The twosome consists of a print
dress complete in itself for general
wear. For dressier occasions it is
designed to serve as a slip under
an exquisitely sheer black lace dress
which is made to complete the en
semble. The print dress was also
shown topped with a lace redingote.
There is every reason to believe that
this lace-over-print idea will develop
Into an important vogue.

Lesson for January 3
Lauoa subject* and Scripture texts se

Council at Religious Education; used by
permission.
THE GLORY OF THE SON
OF GOD
LESSON TEXT?John 1:1-14. v
GOLDEN TEXT?And the Word wu made
fleah, and dwelt among ua (and we beheld
hla fiery, the fiery aa at the only befotten
of the rather), full of fTace and truth.
John 1:14.
A New Year! It brings a thrill
to our hearts, for even in this year
of our Lord 1943 we may look for
ward with expectancy to God's
blessing upon us and be hopeful that
better things are ahead. Yet we do
so with a sense of sadness as we
realize that our world is so far
from God, and with a deep feeling
of responsibility for our life and tes
timony in the coming months.
There could be no better way to
begin any year?and certainly not
this year?than by the study of
God's Word. This should be done
in the home and in the church, but
may we suggest that this is an espe
cially good time to enter into the
fellowship of your local Sunday
school.
Were we to select a Scripture por
tion with which to start the year we
could not find a finer one than the
Gospel according to John.
The purpose of the Gospel is stat
ed in 20:31 as being "that ye might
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God; and that believing ye
might have life through His name."
This first lesson of the series re
veals the glory of Christ.
I. In the Beginning?the Living
Word (w. 1-3).
God reveals Himself to man. As
the word is the express image of
the thought, so in an infinitely great
er sense Christ, the Living Word, is
the express image of God (see Heb.
1:1-3).
In "the beginning," spoken of in
Genesis 1:1, Jesus Christ already
"was" (v. 1); and He not only "was
with God," but He Himself "was
God." He, the Living Word, the com
plete and final revelation of God as
both Creator and Redeemer, was
the infinite and eternal God. He
came to bring to man the reassur
ing message of God's redeeming
love.
The profound depth of these
verses is beyond the deepest think
er, but their glorious message of
redemption is simple enough for the
understanding of the youngest child.
We may receive truth which we can
not fully understand and be blessed
by it.
n. In the World?the True Light
(w. 4-11).
He is both the life and the light
of men. In fact. His life was the
light that shined (yes, and still
shines) in the darkness of this
world, revealing God's love.
But the world did not receive the
light. His own world knew Him not
(v. 10). How tragic! Yet even deep
er is the hurt of verse 11?His own
people received Him not.
And it is so today. Nations re
fuse His light upon world problems
and try to fight them out. Class
hatred; capital against labor; the
"have" against the "have not"; yes,
even the bitter fightings between
professed Christians, all bespeak the
fact that the shining of the "true
light which lighteth every man" has
not been permitted to penetrate very
far into this dark world.
However, it has reached, by God's
grace, into the hearts of believers,
and there it has brought forth glori
ous results.
ill. in me eeuever?rower ana
Glory (w. 12-14).
Those who receive Christ are born
again. It is not a matter of "blood,"
that is, of family or heredity. Nor
is it "by the will of the flesh," that
is, by natural instinct or develop
ment of an inherent divine spark.
And it is not by "the will of man,"
for it does not come by human will
power.
It is "of God," a divine rebirth
which gives power in the Hfe, and
authority to declare one's self to
be the child of God (v. 12). This is
all so clear and so altogether de
sirable for both time and eternity
that one wonders why all do not at
once turn to Christ as Saviour. Have
you?
The believer also sees in the Word
which "was made flesh and dwelt
among us," the glory of "the only
begotten of the Father." All that
such an expression means we shall
not know until we reach eternity,
but that does not prevent the believ
er from beholding, by the eye of
faith, his glorious Saviour, the One
who is "full of grace and truth."
John, the "man sent from God"
(v. 6), was a witness to the Light to
the intent that men "might believe."
We, too, are to be witnesses, and
that includes every one of us who
knows Jesus Christ as Redeemer
and Lord.
If we will all thus fulfill the re
sponsibility and privilege which is
ours, we may see in 1M3 a real re
vival of spiritual life and power. No
need is greater than that, and we
could raider God and our fellow
men no greater service. This New
Tear's Sunday is the right time to
make a start Shall we do it?
