PAGE TWO God Hears a People’s Cry THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Isaiah 65:24—"Before they call, I will answer, and while they ara yet speaking, I will hear." * By DR. ALVIN E. BELL (The International Uniform Lesson jon the above topic for July 4, the first in a three months’ course on “God in She Making of a Nation,” is Exodus 1:1-22; 2:22-25, the Golden Text being Isaiah 65:24, “Before they call, I will ■answer, and while they are yet speak ing, I will hear,” Since this quarter’s 'Studies are chiefly in the Book of ,Exodus we quote here the chapter •covering this book in the author’s ■Bible Studies, “The Gist of the Bible *Book by Book,” published by Dr. .Alvin E. Bell, Toledo, O.) i THE MESSAGE of Exodus is evi dent in its name. It relates the “Go ing Out” of a nation of slaves from Ihe land of Egypt, where they and ..their ancestors had been in bondage dor more than four centuries. As Klenesis ended with the picture of Joseph’s coffin in Egypt, Exodus re bates the national history incident to •carrying that coffin back to the land •of Joseph’s fathers. Exodus differs "from Genesis in that its message con cerns a nation rather than outstand ing individuals. <* The Message of Exodus £ Its message may be summed up in .three great words our own national “history, viz, “Slavery, Emancipation, or, speaking in .terms of geography, the three words •are “Egypt, Red Sea, Sinai,” and these three other terms, “The Ten rPlagues, the Fassover, the Ten Com -mandments.” Moses the Hero of Exodus. The great character of Exodus is .Moses. The book relates the history »-of Israel during the 40 years of his preparation in the palace of Pharaoh and the 40 years of further prepara tion as shepherd in the very wilder ness in which his 40 years of active national service were to be spent in reconstructing a horde of slaves into 3a conquering nation. 5; A Theocratic Nation. / This nation’s ruler was to be Je hovah; its constitution was the Law ;given on Mt.

PRESS ASSOCIATION CHAPTER 33 GARRETT lost no time. He never had met anyone like Marcia before, and he resolved to waste no precious days of her friend ship. With a somewhat shame faced grin, he stopped in the club florist’s on the way to his office. ! “You have 'nother banquet, maybe so?” queried Nobu, the lit tle Japanese girl who helped him on the infrequent occasions when he came to buy flowers. “No. Something for a lady,” he answered rather quickly to cover his embarrassment, then began to search busily among the bright flowers on display. “Is she orchid lady, or maybe gardenia?” she asked tentatively. “No. This girl is different, Nobu. Sort of a crinoline —” “Gen-u-ine?” the tiny clerk said slowly, trying to catch the un familiar term. “That’s it. That’s it —genuine!” Garrett was immensely pleased over the little incident. Convinced that Nobu had second sight or un common intuition, he urged, “Now you help me find something for her?” With a quick nod the girl van ished into the cool dark interior of the shop, and soon returned with some tiny pink rose buds, with lilies of the valley. * * % "You like?” she smiled expan sively, sure of his approval. When he nodded in relief, she bobbed a quick curtsy and then brought Jiim a card. With a great show of in difference, Garrett went to the jdesk, and devoted himself to the unaccustomed task of penning a romantic note to a lady. Suddenly, it seemed that he never had had such an important ior such a difficult note to write. ;If Nobu had been an American, she would have smiled at his in tense concentration. Being an impassive Oriental, she merely waited patiently till he handed her the folded card and hastily left the shop. He was back in a moment, full lof embarrassment. ! “I forgot to tell you,” he apolo ;gized. “Send the flowers to Miss ; Marcia Madden, 827 South Multem drive. And rush them.” Marcia was just leaving her apartment in mid-morning when the messenger called. Soft color flooded her cheeks when the boy handed her the elaborate box, and she thought tenderly of Sandy. How sweet cf him to remember her on a busy Monday! ’ She unwrapped the box quickly, then lifted y the, card from then quaint little bouquet. Disappoint ment, then surprised pleasure were reflected on her face as she read Garrett’s laborious note: “To the Crinoline Lady—Hoops for you, and whoops for me now that I’ve met you. May I see you tonight on a matter* of great importance? Remember me ? I*m—G arr e 11 Warren.” After the first disappointment that the flowers /were not from HENDERSON. (N. C.) C.)

Despite herself, she felt that she could like Garrett Warren tremendously and the idea of combining personalities with business disturbed her. She remembered vividly the real inter est Garrett had evidenced in her during their brief acquaintance. Hesitantly, she walked back into the apartment and dialed the pub lishing house that bore Garrett’s name. She received an immediate connection to his office ... an al most unheard of accomplishment. If she had known how difficult it was to reach this busy executive, she would have realized that Gar rett had anticipated her call and instructed the operator to put her through without any of the usual inquiries. Garrett greeted her exuberantly, and explained rather guiltily that he wanted to see her on a matter of business, suggesting that she call at his office about 5. “Then we could have a spot of dinner, and possibly a theater,” he concluded rather lamely. Marcia was inclined to plead a previous engagement, but She felt that she owed him the courtesy of accompanying him. Surely she could guide their friendship into calm, safe channels. She wore a jaunty little gray suit and a pull-down hat that barely hid her bright hair. Gar rett looked her over appraisingly. “What’s the matter? Did you expect me to wear those beautiful flowers right in the middle of the day? You should know I don’t wear my crinolines when I go to work.” Catching the disappointment he evidenced, she hastened to assure him, “But I love your flowers! It was so—so different of you to se lect such a charming bouquet. Thank you, Garrett.” The man smiled, then waived her to a chair. In a few brusque words he outlined the work he pro posed to give her as a test, and his manner was reassuringly busi ness-like. She thrilled to the promise of real opportunity in the assignments Garrett mentioned, and saw a changing vista of work —a leisurely inspirational path that was to lack some of the hus tle and scramble of the agency. Even the office had a more re fined “genteel” look. Heavily car peted, a stained glass window with rich burgundy-toned drapes, and a massive carved desk were the highlights of this sanctum-sanc torum. T One wall was lined with book cases, and even from where she sat Marcia could sense the beauty of these volumes. As an artist, she was entranced by the real charm of her surroundings. “And now let’s go to dinner," Garrett jumped up suddenly, and shed his formality like a flash. Since college days he had been so seriously engrossed in his profes sion that he had found little time to squire the ladies. No girl had Seemed worth the effort until he met Marcia.

With characteristic seriousness, he planned a method ical siege of this girl’s heart. “Let’s try Luigi’s?” he sug gested. “Let’s,” she agreed. At the same time she thought how queer it was that Garrett seemed to de mand and get her attention m completely. .■*-*- Dinner was a hearty, satisfying affair —a genuine “stomach stretcher” as Sandy would say. The Italian restaurant was filled with little round tables, each cov ered with gleaming white cloth* that touched the floor, and sur mounted by candles in colored glasses. In the dim light, Garrett studied his table companion. His conver sation revealed to Marcia that he was indeed the idealist he had de scribed himself to be, and his un disguised interest in her again aroused her defenses. She real ized the consequences of too seri ous a friendship, and with an at tempt at gay banter, she turned the conversation. “Do you think we’d better go to a theater after this dinner?” “You’re not ill?” Garrett asked witlf quick solicitude. “No. But as the little colored girl said, ‘I don’t smell so good.* Garlic, you know, is a fragrant lit tle flower that is particularly ab horred by theatergoers.” “Sorry. I’m a stupid sort of a fellow; I didn’t think. What would you suggest?” Marcia was amused and flat tered, too, by his solicitous atti tude. Sandy’s take-it-or-leave-it love making had none of these super niceties. When she hesi tated in her answer, he took the initiative with: “Maybe we’d better take a drivej How about Lookout mountain?” As he mentioned the favorite rendezvous of romantic couples, Marcia took quick stock of the situation. Instinctively she knew Garrett was not the type to force his attentions, yet she mistrusted that inspirational setting: a wind swept mountain top, drenched in moonlight, with Hollywood and all Los Angeles spread out in a rich ‘blaze of glory right at its foot. Gary could not resist this invita tion to romance! • “I think,” she said with an air of great deliberation, “that an ounce of cure is worth a pound of something or other. What about peppermints, some cigarets, and i gum ? ■ ’ I’d Tealiy enjoy a show, and if we’re well > When Garrett agreed, Marcia breathed a sigh of relief. With much gaiety they left the restau rant, made a great eVJnt of their shopping, and finally reached the theater laughing heartily at their foolishness. As they entered the brilliantly lighted foyer, Marcia looked al most apprehensively -at the sign which seemed to flash a personal warning for her: “TROUBLE AHEAD —Coming Soon;” *'*- u <To Be Continued) Moses’ sister, Miriam, a- girl of about fourteen years of age, stood afar off to guard the precious ark hidden among the bulrushes, and to give her baby brother . any attention that he might need.

Marcia had been working with Garrett War ren for almosUtwo months —days which had been profitably spent from a professional point of view at least. Her technique had im proved tremendously, and while it was still too early to tell how popular her work was to become, still she had won the confidence of the executives of Garrett’s firm.' After the revealing interview ah the radio audition, Marcia had re signed herself to accepting more and more of Garrett’s attentions. Some days she worked until late in his office, then allowed him to take her to dinner or a theater afterwards. j Garrett was sensitive enough to realize something under the sur face had upset Marcia. Since that same night when he had joined her at the audition, he had noticed that she seemed to throw herself even more desperately into her work—and to accept him person ally upon a different basis. He re membered their first talk on the beach at Malibu when Marcia’s veiled talk of crinolines and men had revealed some underneath struggle between love and her work. ; After they’d finished working that night, he took her gently by the hand. “You mustn’t overdo it, my dear,” he told her. “You’ve been working like a demon these last few days. Look as pale and frail as a lily.” < “You forget. Lilies toil not, neither do they spin. And I seem to do nothing else,” she said, wear ily pushing her hair back from her. forehead. Summer had come early that year, and the blistering hot day had left her enervated. Her starched blue blouse had wilted, and the white linen suit she'd chosen for coolness was a mass of wrinkles. Garrett’s eyes smiled in sympathy at the crumpled piCtlire she presented. “You know, you needn’t work so hard. In fact I forbid it,” sudden ly his emotions burst the dams he 'had so carefully built. “Oh, Mar cia—can’t you sed how I love you, want you? Working with you all day and playing through these long evenings, I’ve known for a, long time that you were the only woman for me. I didn’t want to speak, for I felt that there was someone else/ But now—” ! “Now there’s no one,” she said ! with bitter finality. “I let the man I cared for slip through my Angers while t stretched them up to snatch falling stars,” she said dra matically. “Gary, I was afraid of this, afraid you might misinterpret 6ur friendship.

Remember once I told you I was destined to be an old dog Tray? Well, you’ll see. Just don’t be afraid of my bark!” He took her home directly from the office, fearing to trust himself With her any longer that night. Although he refused to be discour aged by her reaction, he regretted his impetuous haste in revealing his love. After he hud left, Marcia busied herself in the kitchen. She had been too hod and tired to enjoy tier lunch that'day, and she was des perately hungry. Raiding the ice box she found fruits for a salad, and despite the warmth of the evening, she brewed a fragrant pot of tea. Remembering the axioms of “Live Alone and Like It”, she put on her most attractive Chi nese tea robe and took her tray in to the window seat. There she found it pleasant to eat, and as she relaxed she began to regain her equilibrium. She had been startled, though not surprised, by Gary’s proposal. With woman’s intuition, she had felt the man was nearing a decla ration of some kind, and tried to forestall it. If only Sandy could have been saying those words to her! Viciously, she thought of Paula and wished she had her slim white throat between her own capable hands. • •• If Marcia dould have seen Paula at that moment, she would have had even more cause to fume, for the young artist was still working under the electric lights of Sandy’s Office, and Sandy himself was checking budgets just a few feet away. While he was totally uncon scious of her presence, she was Vitally aware of his every move. When She saw him jump up and start pacing the "floor anxiously, she came to the door. “Why don't you relax, Sandy?” she asked solicitously. “Can’t. I'm trying io see where the results justify spending all that money on advertising in that particular magazine. I'Ve checked and double checked, and it seems a foolish expenditure to me—yet Ralston insists on including it in his budget.” “Well, he’s boss, and you still get ydur 15 per cent,” she said with 1 a shrug that shifted the re sponsibility to Ralston. “I think it’s about-time We closed up shop; I’m desperately tired tonight.” 1 Sandy lodked at his watch and whistled. "“Whew! Nine o’clock, ahd you haven’t'had your dinner. I should be shot." With some cortcdWi he looked at the childish fade off Paula, now even paler than usual. !iJ While he did not consciously ad mire her chic little dress, he ad mitted to himself that she seemed a more wholesome Specimen than when Sh6 r d first come to his office. Absently he thought she must have a' new heart interest. “It seems tor work 1 that Way with everybody but Marcia and me,” he thought, wondering how much The daughter of Pharaoh, the ruler, with some of her maids, came to the river to bathe, found the baby and de cided to adopt it.

He purposely had refrained from seeing her much of late, hoping that she would get things straight in her own heart and mind. Sandy had started to patronize Paula as a promising young artist, then had conceived the idea of playing upon Marcia’s jealousy by being even more attentive. To night he asked her tentatively to have dinner with him, and was startled by the vehemence of her reply. “Sandy! Do you really mean it? Why I’d love to, really would!” With a hasty apology she hurried to the dressing room to make her self presentable, and then came eagerly to his side. “Will I do?” she said confidentially. Still Sandy did not sense the impending climax. They had din ner in one of the drive-in cases which catered to people while they sat in their cars. With the radio playing, they enjoyed the informal meal. Sandy was grateful for any companionship that would take his mind off Marcia. And Paula was grateful for Sandy. “Mister,” she said teasingly, “before you take me home, would you drive me to the beach? It’s such a heavenly night, and I’m too tired to go right home.” She wriggled in excitement when the man agreed, and soon they were speeding down the familiar boule vard to the sea. Once there at the Palisades, where tall palms pa raded majestically, they left the car. Suddenly, as they leaned over the railing and looked down the steep incline toward the sparkling sea, Paula looked intently at Sandy. “Do you know,” she said solemn ly, “if I really thought there Was no chance of your ever loving me —really loving, I mean—l’d jump over this cliff right now!” Sandy jumped as if he had been shot, then grabbed her slim shoul ders desperately. ”You crazy lit tle fool, don’t every think of doing such a thing! This is Poison Point—one drop would kill you,” he said, then, trying to make light of the whole incident. But Paula was not to be deterred. Having finally spoken her mind, she was not the one to leave things up in the air. “I mean it, Sandy,” she said tremulously. “You don’t love Mar cia Madden, you never have. Her wishy-washy kind of love isn’t good enough for you. She only wants you if she can have you on her own selfish terms. Me, why I’d come to you on any kind of terms you could mention —any kind! Nothing means so much to me as your love!” Paula was trembling with the intensity of her desires, and she searched Sandy’s puzzled face for an answer. For a long time he was silent, the swaying palms casting disturbing shadows upon his features. He still retained a tight hold on, the girl lest she wou’d make good her threat to steg overboard. She needed his firm grasp when she heard what he had to say. “By the Lord Harry, Paula, I believe you’ve got something!” he exclaimed joyfully, but not at all in the tone Paula had expected.
