LIGHT MY WAY
By REV. JOHN R. GUM.
The Ready Man.

IT am ready Tim. i've.
There are three recorded occasions
on which Paul used these words, II
am ready"
When called upon to go to Rome, al
though he foresaw all the hazards the
journey would involve, he said, IT am
ready"
When he planned to go to Jerusalem,
though warned that he would be bound
and imprisoned by his enemies, he said,
II am ready"
When he saw that the time of his
departure was at hand, he looked death
in the face without fear or dread, and
said, II am ready"
n. The Romans 99n,,rH ;, had q motto. semper
describes Paul. His readiness for every
emergency and opportunity was his
most conspicuous trait.
There was q King of France called
Charles the Unready. That nickname
alone Is enough to make it clear that
he never achieved anything worth while.
It is only the ready man VINO accom-
plishes worthwhile things. If we
would live to any great purpose, we
must not waste our time or fritter
away our powers, but so bear ourselves
that when any great task is set before
us we shall be ready for it.
An old general of Troy said, "The
secret Of victory in any battle is in
getting good ready" That is true,
whether in the battles of war or the
battles of life.
This quality of readiness is the one
quality that is absolutely essential to
success, no matter what trade, pro-
fession or business one may choose to
follow. 1t is the quality that more than
anything else has marked the men and
women who have done great things in
the world
The best opportunities go to the ready
man.

EMBASSY THEATER

Three separate love stories are unfolded in the picture, "The Of- flee Wife" today at the Embassy theater.
 The three main characters in the story are the husband played by Lewis Stone; the wife. played by Natalie Moorhead, and the secre- tary, played by Dorothy Mackaill. The secretary is in love with her en- ployer, while a reporter is in love with her. The husband is in love with his wife, but his wife is in love with another man. This com plicated situation adjusts itself when finally the wife runs off with her lover, the secretary breaks her en- gagement to the reporter, and the husband realizes at last that he loves his secretary and that she loves him. This is not the ordinary suited story of the abused wife whose husband prefers the pretty secretary to her. In this case. it is the wife who IS the flirt. The secretary has become invaluable to the husband as com panion and as a co-worker.
 The rest of the distinguished cast includes Hobart Bosworth, Blanche Friderici, Joan Blondell, Brooks Benedict, Dale Fuller and Walter Merrill. Warner Bros, the pro- ducers of this Vitaphone picture, chose Lloyd Bacon as the director.

Reasurred Delegates After Nom-

Delegates to the republican pro- bate convention last night rendered to Attorney General B. w. filling the nomination for judge of probate and were his guests at dinner follow ing his brief acceptance speech.
 The entire delegation of four New Britain representatives and four from Berlin voted for Judge filling. He was called to the convention room and formally notified of the fact by George P. Spear, chairman of the republican probate conven- tions for the past quarter of cen- tury, after which he said:
 Tt was reported some time ago that I had a shock and that my health was endangered. That is un- true. The true fact is that I had only a slight cerebral hemorrhage as the result of a fall, and now I have recovered completely. And I want to say to you that I am in ex- cellent health and if had any doubt about my health I would not accept this nomination. But l do accept,
  and gratefully"
 Spear Praises filling
 In his notification speech, Chair man Spear spoke words of praise on the fitness of Judge filling to fill the position. He commented on the nominees judicial experience and mentioned characteristics of the candidate which, in his expressed opinion. ideally fit him for the of fee of judge of probate. Mir. Spear also praised Judge Bernard F. Calf ney. democratic incumbent for whom he had cast vote at nearly dozen biennial conventions.
 Delegates individually expressed their congratulations to Judge filling and assured him of their willingness to cooperate with him in his cam- paign against Judge W. F. Mangan, the democratic nominee.
