Very different were the haggard
features upon the pillow from the
ruddy face which had aroused my as
constituent and regret for weeks.
Once more / beheld the man that |
loved. There was something subtly
fine about him, something of what l
had adored when he made me his
bride.
If only Bob never would do any
thing to make me think hard things
about him again! | wanted him t.
be fine and high forever, l wanted
to live with the best of his multiple
selves. l wanted him to live above
the worthless emotions of life-and
to be bored, not amused, by the pitter
patter of a senseless girl like Kath-
crime.
From this train of futile, thought
and hopeless wishing, which brought
me close to a passion of tears, l came
to with a start. Without warning,
Bob's tall figure snapped into a sit
ting posture, hand made a beckon-
ing gesture, and with a thrill in his
voice that startled us, he WHISPERED:
Come, buddyl Forward-N0Wp
/ heard Daddy sob as he muttered
in my ear:
"The by is back in the warm

The nurse hurried forward, but
pushed her away. Desperately and
forgetting all prudence, seized my
husband in my arms, held him tight
against my breast, pressed my lips
upon his forehead, and defied the
nurse-defied fate-and death itself
to take him from me.

But that day! He was perfectly
dreadful. he acted so smart, and the
others, although not so mean them

the way it was that day in Meadow

 Above all, we wish to appeal to the parents of the Methodists of the land to rally to the cause and patronize their own schools more than they have in the past. Education without spiritual development is most dangerous thing It is for this reason that the church has organized it's forces, and is making every effort to give it's young men and women religious inspiration, that the day may not be far distant when the teachers of the country may be people of spiritual conviction who are awake to the possibility of their influence upon the students entrusted to their care. Athens College has long been a vital instrument of the church in this respect. She is church school in the spirit of her organization as we'll as in name.

ORIENTAL WOMEN BUSY
Eastern Peoples Want Then to Be
 Active in Public Affairs
By Associated Press


 London. October 2S.-The Congress of Eastern Peoples, which was held at Baku in September, decided to undertake a campaign of agitation and propaganda among the Mohammedan women of the east, says wireless dispatch from Mos COW quoting the Russian newspaper Pravda. Women delegates to that con- gress are declared to have urged a con vention of another congress to be com posed exclusively of women of the east. Soviet Russia would be represented in such a congress by delegates from As- trakhan, Turilestan,f Daghtestan and Azerbaidjan.
 The purpose of the proposed campaign. as defined by the newspaper, would be to induce eastern women to take their places in the ranks of the strugglers for the liberation of the east"
 To attain that object the Congress Of Eastern Peoples decided to organize womens guilds so as to carry on agit3- ton among them and induce them to be- come associated with public life and to draw them away from the narrow inter- ests of domestic life. The congress decided also to ask clubs and schools to give wide scope to the agitation and propaganda among Moslci:i women.
 'It must be clear that the east has awakened, once eastern women have re- moved the veil," says the Pravda.
