and see him off.
He came for her the next day a lit

she felt a shock and forgot to chide

'Oh," cried Alix, Pm sorry. I'm

heart into those few words.
Collingeford drew out his pocket
book and took from it soiled sheet
of paper-a leaf torn from field note

WORRY CALLED A SIN

mo more fatal habit ever attacked
the human family than worry" said
Rt. Rev. Bishop Charles K. Woodcock
during a recent sermon, according to
the Minneapolis Journal 81 can think
of no more deadly drug, can think OF
no suicide more real, and, perhaps.
when we consider it's effects, there are
very few sins which are greater"
Bishop Woodcock gave vivid word
picture of the uselessness and evil eff
fects of worry, diagnosing it as dis
ease and concluding by prescribing
remedy. The remedy he found in his
text, Casting all your care upon him.
for he careth for thee" He spoke in
part as follows:
Some people continually get their
life out of focus. They bother them
selves almost to death about ephemer~
al things. They put their troubles be-
tween God and themselves, instead OF
putting God between themselves and
their troubles.
mot only is worry a SHIT is a
disease. The sufferer worries about
anything and everything until he wor-
ries because he has nothing to worry
about. There is no personal weak
ness which is greater than the consti-
tutional habit of worrying. There is
a great distinction between worry and
care and proper anxiety. Worry is
something that you add to care and
anxiety until you haven't time to do
anything else. People who really are
doing something haven't time to wor-
ry.
Worry poisons the blood, hardens
the arteries, impairs digestion and de-
stroys health. 1t poisons every bless
ing, assassinates every hope, dims
every splendor and profanes every
bright prospect. No one ever heard of
a single thing that worry ever helped.
1t never inspired single hope or ere.
ated single success. 1t is populating
our Warehouses; and our sanatoriums
for the nervously broken down.
Most worries are by anticipation.
1t is a sin because it means a waste
OF life. 1t IS just as controllaDle as
the drink and drug habit. 1t has the
same effect on life and character that
dissipation has. 1t is no more sinful
to drink yourself into the gutter than
to worry yourself into the grave. You
won't be asked how you wasted your
life, but why you wasted your life.
There is a cure for worry, and the
remedy is absolutely sure and simple.
It is this Every day has it's cares
from below and its help from above.
You join the care from below with the
help from above and there is nothing
in human history that you cannot take
up and bear and fulfill. Reach up to
meet your helper and get up above
yourself and your cares. Cast your
care upon him, for he cares for you"

Bodsky. You said yesterday that Bod
sky used naked language. You were
right. Bodsky undressed things. Just
as some people see red and some blue,
Bodsky saw things naked. He could
look through a black robe of rumor
spangled with lies and see truth naked.
He was naked himself-Gakeda and I'M
ashamed. It's hard for me to make
you see because you did not know him.
Bodsky was one of those men who
could have accomplished anything
only he didn't. He sifted life through
a big mesh. All the nonessentials-
the trivialities-fell through. An act
with Bodsky was a volition, measured,
weighed. and then hurled. That's why
if you knew him you knew that in his
hands a crime was not crime. That's
why know that he is dead. He new
er used a stale cartridge-his gun new
er missed fire."

accomplish anything and doesn't seems
wrong-a waste"

view. You must turn around Bod
sky used to say that all humanity had
a soul, but it took tragedy to make
a man. His tragedy was that life cut
him out from the herd. He wasn't a
creator, he was a creation. Genera

left him standing like a SCARED crag-

understand. Have you ever sat in the
desert on a moonlit night and looked
at the Sphinx? 1t holds you-it holds
yours eyes in a vice. You wonder
why. I'll tell you. 1t knows. That's
the way it was with Bodsky. He only
towered-knew-un II that
is nothing, Bodsky was nothing"
They were silent Presently Col
lingeford helped her out and together
they passed through the rich foyer, the
latticed palm room, and up the steps
into the latest cry in dining rooms. A
little table in the far corner had been
reserved for them. AS they crossed
the crowded room hush fell over the
tables. Some looked and were silent
because Alix was beautiful and dam
tily gowned and Collingeford all that a
man should be, but those who knew
looked because Alix was Alix and Col
lingeford was Collingeford. These soon
fell to whispering, predicting match.
Alix bowed abstractedly here and
there as she followed the head waiter
to her seat.
They sat down. each half facing the
room. Alix caught her breath. Whit
fling the old air?'' asked Collingeford.
NO" answered Alix. only sigh
ing. 1 feel so out of it and that al
ways makes one sigh whether ohe
wants to be in it or not"
Aix paused. Go on" said Collinge-
ford.
There are only a few men in the
room, but almost all of these women
have husbands. The husbands are in
two tenses-past and future. There
must be present but it is nebulous. l
didn't know before but l know now
that in time these women will go back
or forward to their husbands. Some
day they will get dizzy and fall and
the shock will wake them up"
You see, you understand, you are
prophetic" said Collingeford, smiling.
"But 1 do not tower like your Bod
sky" said AliX and then bit her tongue
at the slip.
A shadow seemed to fall on them.
The rooms high, delicate paneling and
the painted oval of the ceiling seemed
to hover over a suddenly darkened
emptiness. The hum and chatter of
the throng became little ana far away.
CoIfingeford and AliX felt as though
they sat alone and yet not alone. Col
lingeford nodded as though Alix had
spoken. YES" he said, 'Bodsky has
come back to us. Don't regret it. l
don't know how it is with you but |
feel that we two are alone with him
and that it's worth while. Hes come

There. there" said Alix, playfully,
but her eyes were soft. 1--WE must go

There is a pale. Behind it lies Red

lies Nance, the faithfullest, most trust

And now you. You lie behind it and

Alix sprang to her feet and laid
strong, nervous hands on Alan's Shout
ders. She shook him and turned him
so that he faced the light. Alan did
not laugh. There was fire in Alix'
eyes. You little thing" she said
tensely, mot to see that the bars are
down.
He turned under her hands and she
let him 60 He stood looking out OF
the window at the bare trees. Allx
watched him. "Alan, you can come 20
