ALVIN E. BELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Dec. 12 is I John 1:1-7 and Revelation 21:1-7, the Golden Text being I John 1:3, “Oui fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.”) AT THE creation of man Jehovah his Creator said, “It is not good that the man should ce alone; I will make him a helpmeet for him.” Having been made in the image and likeness of God he was like God in that his nature called for fellowship through which he might express his love. Jesus and Fellowship. Our Lord Jesus recognized this need of fellowship when he “sent his dis ciples by two and two.” The early church recognized the same in send ing forth Barnabas and Saul, Paul and Silas, Baranabas and Mark, Peter and John, etc. This “knitting of the soul of Jonathon with the soul of David” is an expression of one of the most deep-seated and universal char acteristics of human nature. And our Lord was so thoroughly human that he shared this trait with us. So we hear him saying to his disciples, “with desire I have desired to eat this pass over with you before I suffer”; and again, “my soul is exceeding sorrow ful, even unto death: abide ye here and watch with me.” As Son of God he enjoyed fellowship with his Father from eternity. John says, “That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which he have seen with our eyes, that which we be held, and our hands handled of the word of life. And the life was mani fested. and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal life, whicu was with the r Wtats Doha Churches FIRST METHODIST EPISCOPAL. Rev. Robert E.

Our Lord’s eternal fellowship with his Father, which he extended to in clude his first disciples is still fur her broadened to include all who wi- 1 accept it through faith :n him: “Thai ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with i.hf Father, and with his Son .Tesu: Christ.” The privilege of such a fel lowship should move us to want to fi< ourselves for it by bringing our lives into harmony with the Divine: “In him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him an.i walk in the darkness, we lie. and dc not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light.' we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Continual striving after holiness must result from our desire for fellowship with God. to be with him is to be like him. Fellowship be gets likeness. Light has an affinity for light and darkness for darkness. Fellowship with the good will streng then the good within us. So Christ established his church for the streng thening effect of its fellowship upon his disciples. Together the coals burn with light and warmth, while scat tered to themselves the fire goes out. Death dees not destroy this fellow ship. It persists beyond the grave In the church triumphant: “He shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God; and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: the first things are passed away.

ADVERTISING. . .Mark Twain had a letter from one of the subscribers to a paper he edited saying he had found a spider in his paper and he wanted to know whether it was a sign of good luck or bad. Mark Twain replied: “Finding a spider in your paper was neither good luck nor bad- luck for you. The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which merchant is not adver tising, so that he could go to that store, spin his web across the door, and live a life of undisturbed peace afterwards.” Do you advertise your church? — Tell people of its virtues and its achievements? Try it. Be a good church member as others are good business men—advertise. HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY jufSPATCH SATURDAY.

Congress Fearful Off FDR’s Policies (Continued from T*age One.) can depend on him. Does He Know Channel? In short, the national pilot, in Con gress’ opinion, is trying to steer a course of which he is none too sure. The old-time Mississippi river helmsman kept himself pretty well in formed as to the channel ahead. He knew of impending snags and bars and swung his wheel cleverly around them. But if he had no notion what was coming, he was likely to pile up on one of these obstructions; at least to miss them only by a bee’s-ltnee, keeping all on board constantly in a twitter. The administration’s congressional crew surmimes that Pilot Roosevelt is unfamiliar with his channel —briefly, that he hasn’t a clean-cut govern ment philosophy, but everlastingly is guessing. Politicians Frightened. Indeed, he has said so; has declared for a policy of experimentation. Few politicians like this, as a re gular .thing. First the leftist bunch are gratified at each leftward twirl of the wheel, but the rightists arc terrified. Then there is a twist to the right and the leftists holler. Finally both groups decide that the whole thing is wobbly and mutually are scared. Politico-economists are not experi mentalists; they are one way or the other. All that Pilot Roosevelt has back of him is a little crew of do-or-die New Dealers —and even they are scary. Wouldn’t it give anyone a tooth ache?

And as beauti ful. ! I made my way through the crowd. The Queen had been crowned, and in a few moments there would be dancing. I wanted to get as soon as possible to Mimi. x had been promised a dance. ! Mrs. Le Brun sat with a group of matrons, many of whom like j herself had been former Queens. •I spoke to her, and to my surprise ‘she rose and drew me away from the others. "I want to talk to iyou a bit, Jerry—” she was spark ling, secure, dangerous, “about jMimi.” I I was at once on guard; but I ■ isaid with an effect of composure, i “Not any of them could hold a ■ candle to her, could they? She J should have been Queen.” ( “She might have been had her j grandfather lived.” j “She should have been anyhow.” . She did not continue the theme. , She had other things on her mind. ' Her voice was clear, incisive, as she said, “Jerry—you mustn’t fall in love with her.” • “I have already fallen in love.” “You know of course that she can’t marry you.” “I know that whether I marry . her or not, my life is at her feet.” She laughed, lightly, “Surely you don’t believe that any man is at any woman’s feet for life.” “I don’t know about other men. I know myself.” She stopped and we stood there with that careless crowd surging about us. Yet we might have been marooned on an island in an empty sea for all that anyone else mat tered. “It isn’t quite fair to Mimi, Jerry, for you to talk high ro mance when you can’t talk mar riage.” “I would talk marriage if she would listen.” “But you haven’t anything to marry on.” “I have my allowance from my Uncle Jerry, and I am his heir.” I flung the statement at her as I had flung it at Lionel in college. I felt that it might modify her attitude. And in a sense it did. “Is he very rich?” she de manded. “He hasn’t millions, if you mean that,” I admitted. “But there would be enough.” “Enough for what? Not for Mimi’s future. And anyhow •it may be years before you inherit. Don’t you see how impossible it is, Jerry? Poverty is dreadful. I won’t have Mimi poor.” There was an almost hysterical fierceness in her way of saying it, 1 In his old age as an exile on the Isle of Patmos, St. John was given a vision of the continuance of this fellowship in "a new heaven and a new earth.” '"EXPECT THE FIRST MORROW.

Buescher CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION yet she kept her voice to a low key. “If my father had not mar ried again, we should have lived in his house, have had everything. He thought he was in love,” she swept the possibility away with a scornful gesture. “And you think you are in love. Men are like that . . . They want what they want. But you aren’t thinking of Mimi’s happiness. Only of your own. Don’t you call that a bit selfish, Jerry?” > Well, it was natural for a moth er to fight for her young. She was like a sleek and shining cat de fending her kitten. “I won’t have her winter spoiled by you, Jerry. It is the most im portant winter of her life. Yet you’ve caught her fancy. Such things never last with her. You are something new different. That’s all there is to it.” “There is more to it than that,” I said, “there is Fate and our faith in ourselves.” The words were an echo of the things my father had often said to me. Only he would have put it “Faith in God and in ourselves.” But in neither case would Mrs. Le Brun have understood. She simply stared and said in a level voice, “People who live in the clouds, Jerry, are sure to get hurt . . . I’m sorry ...” The music was sweeping in great waves over us. The dancing had begun. A distinguished and gray-haired man came tc claim Mrs. Le Brun. She did not present me to him. She left me high and dry on the shores of her dis pleasure! The next morning I had a letter from Mimi. She sent it by mes senger and I opened it with a pre monition of disaster. “Mother has made me promise not to see so much of you, Jerry. She says it can’t come to any thing, and that it is simply un settling me. And perhaps she is right. I don’t know. Anyhow she came into my room last night and begged me to give you up. I wouldn’t promise that I wouldn’t see you at all. But I agreed not to ask you to come here, and not to make engage ments with you. I shall miss our walks together, Jerry, and our talks. But perhaps I am not all the wonderful things you say I am. If I were really the woman of your dreams, I would think the world well lost, wouldn’t I? And I don’t. So you are not to think of me as Juliet on a balcony, or that I’d cut myself up in little stars . . . I am like the young women in the nursery rhyme . . . just ‘ribbons and laces’ and my face is my fortune, Jerry. “This isn’t the kind of letter mother expects me to write. But it is the best I can do. I am not the heroine of a play. I am not the heroine of any thing. I am awfully human, though you won’t believe it. “It has been wohderful to have you for a friend. It will always be wonderful to remem ber. And of course this isn’t ‘Goodby, forever’—like Tosti’s song. Only you mustn’t hope any more, and I mustn’t dream —and that’s all there is to it. It won’t be the same but it will be something.” I spoiled many sheets of paper before I answered her. So I can By the Rev. Alvin E. Bell 1 And Alfred J.

I filed it away with her note, and the yellow pages seem even now to flame with a living fire. “You are Juliet on a balcony. You are the Blessed Damosel bending down. You are Bea trice to be worshiped. You are Rachel to be waited for. If I do not see you, you will still be in my heart. Remember that, Mimi. There has nevei been any other in my life, there will never be. If the play succeeds, I shall have something to offer you. But whether it succeeds or not, I shall work for you, wait for the perfect moment when I can call you mine.” High-flown. Well, call it that if you wish. But I was sincere. As a boy I had thought in terms of chivalry. I had been fed on King Arthur, and his Round Table Knights. I had copied in my note book such things as this: “A glorious company, the flower of men, To serve as model for the mighty world, And be the fair beginning of a time . . . g t i To love one maid only, cleave to her, And worship her by years of noble deeds, Until they won her . . .” I had read my Bible, and of Jacob and his seven years; I had read Ruskin, and his challenge to the youth of his day to serve like Jacob. You see, my ideals of woman hood had been formed by my father, and they had been modi fied very little even by my adora tion of Uncle Jerry and his swashbuckling methods, or by contact with my mates at college, who refused to put femininity on a pedestal and who held that the girls with whom they danced and flirted and to whom they made love had as many human faults and frailties as themselves. So in a passion of devotion I dispatched my letter, and it was not until several days had passed without a glimpse of Mimi that I began to feel the reaction. I had a sort of boyish dignity, of pride if you will, which made me refuse to put myself in her way when she had forbidden it. But I was filleo with an intolerable ache for her. For the first time in my life * could not square my optimism with the thing which had happened to me. In desperate despair I turned to my work. I shut myself up m my room and wrote. I refused in* vitations. It seemed to me that if I saw Mimi I should fall on xrif knees and beg her to give m« hope. Yet I would not ask again for what she would not give Ana always I waited for the moment when the acceptance of the play would make it possible for me t* lay my laurels at my lady’s feet- Then, suddenly, like a crash * thunder from a clear sky, or tn« sickening swing of an earthquane on a golden day, a cams from our agent.
