Sff INTERNATIONA^ SUNDAYSCHOOL LESSON (Continued From Pace FomrJ of this point of view. wo. too. bell??se it to be divinely Inspired. Man and woman were created to share this wholesome and natural companionship. When man Is alone for Ions:, he grows self-centered, abnormal. He ! likely to lower his standards. In company with another he Is alert In mind, kindled In ambition, and concerned with the raising of social standards. All this was Involved in the creation of man and his helpmeet. To discover In the story of creation the grounds for false distinctions between the capacities of men and women Is the last resort of misguided minds. Yet it has sometimes been argued that-roan was :created first and Is therefore the lord of all creation. Woman was an afterthought and therefore secondary In Importance and capacity. The ancient Hebrew attitude toward woman grew out of this assumption of her Inferiority. The words of .Tesus changed all this. He gave woman her rightful place of equality beside man. In the Christian point'of view they are two halves of a perfect whole, united in a covenant and sharing equal responsibilities and privileges. , The Christian marriage of two voum? nprRona consummates the pat tern. Through this Intimate and vital union "they are no more two but one flesh." The physical side of the union ineans| nothing unless It is fortified and supplemented by the spiritual bonds of love and companionship. There can be no incompalability between those who are joined in this way. .Times of disagreement and misunderstanding may come, for we cannot always think exactly alike; but underneath any superficial disturbance is a deep boml of spiritual - unity, which will hold through stress and strain. Leave oat this element and yon reduce mar. riage to a physical relationship. Spirit with spirit must and does meet where there is a true Christian marriage. / When we read of the marriage disasters that occur about us, we can come to one of two conclusions: Either the union of spirit did not take place, or there has been a wilful violation of the pattern of companionship. And these two ways are really one. When one willfully sets out to ^reak this pattern,-he not only 7 " cuts across Boclal custom but also violates the -will and the plan of God. were meant to live In companJoSftojP Th? standard of that companionship is high, requiring mutual loyalty, respect nnd confidence. I-et either party to the marriage covenant neglect or disregard this standard and be breaks asunder that which God has joined together. The lenlait laws of some' stales encourage disregard of marriage own.

It is possible that hi* views of married life are similar to those expressed by the absent-minded Justice who was performing a marriage ceremony. The Justice turned to the woman and asked. "Will you have this man for betters or worse? Turning to the man, he absentmindedly asked. "Have you anything to say hs to why sentence should not be passed upon you?" When h~youug woman decides against marriage, it is usually for a good reason. She may have family iobligations. She may desire a business or professional career. If may be that Prince Charming has not come along. The first thing to be said about marriage Is that it Is a divine institution. The Church recognizes the sacrednes8 of this Institution. The minister says to the wedding guests: Dearly beloved, we ore gathered together here. In the sight of God ... to Join this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is an honorable estate. Instituted by God. Being a divlDe institution, marriage should take place at the altar of the church, and quite properly, a minister should perform the ceremony. The second thing to be said about marriage Is that It Is for. life. "Wilt thou forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her so long tut ye both shall live?" asks the minister. Two passages in the Hospels net forth Jesus' views on divorce. He says to the Pharisees iu Matthew 10:1-31: Hence a man shall leave his father and mother And cleave to his wife. And the pair shall l>e <>ne flesh What flod hath Joined, then man must not separate. ... I tell you, whoever' divorces his wife except for unchastity and | marries another woman commits adultery; and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery " . .; Strangely enough. Mark 10:1-2 the exception is omitted. According to Mark,-Jesus made no provision at-all for divorce. It is likely true that tbV statement In Mark's Cnspcl comes closer to the mind of Jeans with reference to divorce than does the one In Matthew. Jesus' standard Is no divorce at all. When two persons are married, according to the standard of Jesus that union is made end sealed In heaven, and lite seal must never he broken. The third thing to be said is that plan. '. j It la all right for the husband to Joke about being the, head of the house, but 'actually to think that he la la unfortunate. 1 here heard of a man who Itonsted In the pre*'nee of hla wife that he whh Ihe head of the house. Not to he outdone, she replied, f "Jou may l?e the head of the house If you pleune; hut. If .so, then I am J the neck, and the neck always turns c the head." . , . a '.No .

It is n well knowu fact that Ellington's best records hove beep impromptu. They, the omnipotent they, aay that an Ellington composition goes something like this: Duke sit8 down at the piano, coaxes out a tune with a finger or two, the drummer gets the rhythem, begins to pick It up, Duke slides Into It with both hands, dreaming at the keys till he hes something, nods to the trombone to pick It op, tosses It to the mx nud the band Is off. They name it afterwards. Duke himself tells about just such an arrangement of '"Tiger Rag." It was on his first trip to London when the manager of the Palladium asked that the band play "Tiger Rag" because the king and queen were to be on baud and liked the number, thinking It typically American. The Britisher got off a crack about "the American tiger saluting the British lion" which he seemed to think was pretty good. Ellington1 grinned Hnd got his hand together, told' them they were going to give the Rrltlsh "Tiger ltag" all right but it would be a,refined tiger. Waiting for curtain cull they dished up a new arrangement, all muted brasses, dulcet trombones and rippling saxes, which they 'called "Whispering Tiger." The British were surprised but they clapepd their hands off when they got their breHth.
