"It's setter uus way. You'll see." A week went by and for Erich they were days of thinking about Pat and evenings of boating or sing- iug or waiting inrougn tne park with her. Then one day she tele phoned him. Someone had given her two tickets for the opera and Erich must act as her escort. There was a roway hour of dressing that night as Roster and Lens pinned, uea ana squeesea mm into an old fashioned dress-suit "You'll be all right If you doat dance, Lens said, "whatever you do. dent trv thaf -Sitting In the nightclub with Pat after the- nenfonnanea.

"Breti- Ws very fond of that young Frau- hd noinnann. aim irs been a lucky , thing for her too. , These fallen arlstoorats havent much aanee these days. ' He's a man of Influence, you know.

Breuer voice had a nasty edge to it "Too haven't known her as long as X have. Pat dances until dawn." Erioh started, as Pat put her arm through his. "Ton promised this dance to me," she said and they moved to the floor. Cautiously, Erich circled about A drunken dancer behind him laughed- bois terously and Jerked at his float tails. Desperately, Erich struggled to recover. His coat opened at the I Bretter voice jang out Tve iust placed that coat My grand father was buried in it" . . The place was n ow roaring with laughter" and suddenly. Erich dropped his band away from her.

There was a small, indis tinct sound and a flash of gleam ing silver. He knelt down. "Pat Pat What are you doing here? Tou're shiver ing." His arms were around her and he crushed her close. She stirred in his embrace. "I believe I've been asleep." Her eyes blinked drowsily.

It tookt and you ran away and left Be and I don't want yeu ever to run away and leave me. I'm much warmer now and this Is a lovely time of day." Erich looked at the dawn and knew it was the most beautiful time In all creation. "It's the edge of eternity," ne wnisperea, -Dotween day and night" She rubbed her cheek against Ma "Let's stay right here forever. It's what we were born Into. It's where belong." His lips found hers and held them a long, long time. Then she smiled and held his face In her hands and the sliver dress wu reflected In her eyes. Suddenly she gave a stifled little cough and burled her need in els shoulder. "Tou're cold." Erich cried. "Let me take you noma" She looked at him again with that special radiance. "Take me home? But how? I am home." His breath caught Then, with out a word, be swung her up In his arms and opened the door . . . Swing budded into flower and burst upon an enchanted world in a not or color and fragrance. Pat was sitting In the repair shop one night waiting for Erich who was out with the taxi. She sank back into the chair, tier eyes misty. Out of all tbe nuWrnm thai had beset a troubled world she and Erich had managed to snatch soma Joy. It didn't matter whether it would last or not. That was the way of love. Once it happened, it could go on forever. If only aa a memory. It was like immortal musla never to be fongotten.; -Koster looked nn Asm a tajAaA fender he was fixing. "Pat" he laid ebruptlsv "Jet me Jt you back." A cry bunt from her. "Otto, don't let me marry him. Erich would want a happiness that could last A home, children not a fu ture that might vanish any day." Roster grasped her elbows. "Live, Pat Take the gamble. Stake your life against a love like yours and Erich's every time. Tou can only win." She whispered, Td have to tell him He shook her. "No. That's part of it Don't make him afraid. Just make him happy. Play to the limit Aim at the stars." And so it happened that just a week later, Alfona' bar was closed to visitors for the afternoon. The shades had been drawn, the tables and chairs set back against the walls. Standing before the Burgomaster with Pat Erich was sure that there had never been a finer place for a wedding. His heart thudded rapidly as the ceremony began. "Dearly beloved,. . ." Alfona wiping his eyes. Roster and Lens wearing sUS smiles. The phonograph play ing softly. Joined hands. Now the ring. . Trembling, he gathered Pat Into bis arms and took the sweet Bess of her lips. . The Burgomaster was whisper ing aggrievedly, "wait a minute. mow. I pronounce you man and wife." Then everyone laughed and chat tered a great deal to cover up the sentimental tears and finally, with the wedding luncheon eaten and the wedding wine drunk it was time to leave for their honeymoon des tination.. . At the door Koster topped Erich for a moment. "Remember the hajy.life you war going to coma CROSSROADS hotel, "Oh,, it cant be. lost like tBe BoateamW He twisted around to kiss her. Tea glad, v I wouldn't be able to bear ail this if it were real." But if not reality, then the hetta to dream. ; Dream in the cool green water, dream under the moon and stare, dream beneath the biasing sun. Erich had thought he knew his world. But that had another place. Now, each day, ha made a new and glorious diamverv. About Pat About himself. They were lying on th h. late one evening and Erich said happily, "that Burgomaster had such a nice way of putting things. For better or worse' wan am n his phrases. In whatsia and what. sis, in sickness and health, till death do US Dart" She turnaul atm, from him and emptiness leaped into his heart "There, you see? I wae afraid of that Tou're bored." She was facing him Instantly. "Darling, I'm not Let's talk," His face shadowed. 1 don't know anything about books or about music." She tweaked his ear. Til teach you. It's time you went to school." A, sudden savage fury came over him for that year he had lost He could, show her a few things, how to keep-a machine gun from jam ming and prove why its better to shoot a man in the stomach than the head. Then her smoky blue eyes were full upon him and it seemed as if a clean wind had come up and blown all ugly things away. "Oh Pat 111 teach you things too. How to swim and drive and climb mountains and and play tennis." Her laugh caressed him. "Tou see how much you know?" He rolled over and looked down into her face. "But I never knew I did until now. I thought I be longed to What's dead and stnrtt, T suddenly know I'm alive, Pat. With you, -m anve." "We're alive darlirur. Am) Vm glad." She cupped his face in her hands and said tlnily, "but maybe I can't learn all those things. Maybe you're In love with a fragment" He drew her close. "A lovely fragment If ever there was one. "Oh Erich, I love you so," she whispered and gave him a kiss that was all fire and flame. Afterwards, he looked around dazedly and said, "I've lust been kissed. Would you mind telling me which way is east and west?" Then he rose and began brushing off the sand. "Think of it Pat Some day we'll have a silver anniversary. Let's try to imagine the scene. Our handsome son and heir has left college and refused to go to war. Thrown Into Jail for the rest of his life " "Lift me up, Erich." He stooped and caught her so that she hung by her arms. "No darling, turn your wrists the other way." A lancing pain shot through her cheet as she struggled to put her self erect Her face twisted and suddenly she coughed. Weakly. Just once. Dropping to the ground she landed In a peculiar sprawl, resembling a runner's crouch. Erich burst into teasing laughter. "The Idea Is to go up, not down. All right 111 race you to the hotel. Go ahead Pat" But even as he spoke she coughed again, put her hand to her mouth and pitched for ward. "Pat! What's the matter?" Then the heavens seemed to split asunder and all the mighty gods of destruction descended. "Pat! Pat!" he cried, springing to her side. He gased in horror. She was still and pale and there on the fine, white sand, spilled the very life blood from her throat in an ever widening pooL Tragedy ha suddenly dark ened Erich's idyUio happiness.

WARD Clerk to Board is i i i 0 0 0 FACING THE SUPREME TEST OF SERVICE International Sunday School Lesson for June 12. 1938 Golden Text: "Not what I will, but what thou wilt." Mark 14:36 Lesson Text: Mark 14:32-48 We come now to the last few hours in the earthly life of Jesus. Earlier he had sent Peter and John into Jerusalem to make arrangements for his final supper with the twelve. Knowing that Judas was plotting with his enemies, Jesus did not let him know in advance where they would gather in the evening. Following this last meal together, during which Judas made his depar ture, Jesus went with his disciples toward the Garden of Gethsemane, where he often went to pray. Leav ing his disciples, with the advice that they pray against temptation, Jesus took Peter, James and John and went a little further into the Garden. Knowing full well the events about to transpire, Jesus told the three to abide and watch while he went a stone's throw from them and, falling on the ground, preyed to his Father, asking that if it were possible, the approaching cup might be averted. Nothing so much proves the human ity of Jesus than does his experience here in the Garden. First of all, he was "sore amazed," and "greatly troubled". We are of ten inclined to the belief that Jesus was never perplexed about what he was going to do or what his Father's will for him was, but it gives us a sort of closer kinship with him to realize that he too was at times per plexed and troubled at the turn of events. Then, too, Jesus was "ex ceeding sorrowful." It is natural to assume that Jesus loved life, loved his friends and loved his disciples and the thought of parting .from them was a cause of deep sorrow to him. However, probably the main cause of his being "exceeding sorrow ful" was the thought that through his assumption of the sin of the world, he would be separated, if only temporarily, from his Heavenly Father. This explains the meaning of his later utterance on the cross, asking God why He had forsaken him. At length, reconciled to his mis sion and submissive to the will of God, Jesus was ready to meet his fate, declaring, "Sobeit, not what I J. C. Leary and Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Welch, Sr. They were accompanied home by Mrs. Welch and daughter, who had been visiting relatives for a week. Mrs. Lena Ashley and children vis ited Mr. and Mrs. Tom Asbell Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Dan Privott, who was sick last week, is now able to be out. Mrs. Ed Byrum and Miss Mamie Byrum are confined to their homes by illness. Mrs. Tom Byrum, of Center Hill, is nursing them. Miss Sallie Elliott, who has been will but what thou wilt." Ralph S. Sockman says, "Petition must be coupled with submission." "To pray is to desirebut to desire what God would have us desire." Fenelon truly said, "Thy will be done is the keynote to which every prayer must be tuned." Jesus so lived with God that he was ready for his Gethsem ane. We, on the other hand, live without God until we get into our Gethsemane, and then we grope frantically for him. On returning to his three disciples, Jesus found them sleeping instead of watching as he had requested them to do. Even Simon Peter, who had been so confident of his loyalty a few short hours 'before, was unable to stay awake. A second and a third time Jesus went away to pray and returned, each time to find the dis ciples sleeping. Disappointed, per haps, but gently, Jesus looked at his sleeping disciples and watched over them while they slept. However, the time for sleeping was suddenly cut short by Judas and the servants of the chief priests, the scribes and the elders. Judas, of course, led the procession, made his way to Jesus and gave him the "be traying kiss," at the same time call ing him, "Rabbi," or "Master." Those who had come to take Jesus 'Maid their hands on him and took him." Peter, as impulsive as ever, drew his sword, but at the command of Jesus, it went back into its scabbard. Jesus knew his hour had come and, accept ing it as the Father's will, he knew there would be no turning back. "What does it mean to submit one's will to the will of God?" asks Wm. H. Genne. "Do we gain our greatest freedom by becoming a slave of God's will? ... If he is all-wise and all powerful, why doesn't he just compel the best thing to be done? . . . God knows that at its very depth, true service rests on voluntary commit ment, and he seems content to let men choose to become servants of his will. Herein seems to be the great challenge of God's will . . . He calls to us, and, if we stop long enough to listen, he tells us about the things he would like to see done, things which must be done before we have a Chris tian world, the peace and justice which must be created in all areas of our personal and social living. Here are his challenges, but their accom plishment will try our every fibre to see if it has the flow of selfishness or pride or hypocrisy or laziness. We shall be tested in the depths of our being. Shall we be able to say, 'Not what I will, but what thou wilt?'" visiting Mrs. W. H. Winborne, is now with her sister, Mrs. W. W. Bunch. Mr. and Mrs. W. A.
