OPINIONS OF A CHRISTIAN
BY Mrs. c. A. Willis

Dear Editor:
Please allow me space through the
columns Of the Weekly Echo to eX-
prees the opinion of a Christian for the
Lord.
We as Christians with judgement in
our minds and all who know that they
are truly converted, should know that
there is a right and wrong to any thing.
If we buy piece of material and 1t
looks the same on either side, when
it is made into garment it has
right and wrong side. So as Christians,
we should know the right road to
heaven. There are so many tempta-
tions in this world and so many snares
to keep us from the right way to hea-
ven Yet, we should have grace en-
ough to overcome them by doing as
the Lord has commanded us to obey
his law. There are so many so-called
Christians to encourage sinner men and
women to play all kinds of games on
Sunday. I think that every Christian
should express himself.
Now concerning the ball games on
Sunday I will say it is wrong. You
don't have to play on Sunday. Should
a man rob God. He asked all the
world to remember the Sabbath anc
keep it holy. The Lord has done great
things for us and we are so narrow
toward Him We took the day He ap-
pointed for His for sport 1t should be
an easy matter to settle up Sunday
base ball. If it is not a violation to the
state of man it is in violation to the
laws of God.
There are men and women who are
able to study plans to lead the young
people to destruction. No man can
serve two masters. God made this
world for us to live in and praise Him
and to be happy here and hope for
eternal JOY and happiness. Oh, how
unthankful are We to God.
We call the doctor on Sunday be-
cause we are in need for those medi-
cal attention All Christians should be
grieved over this condition because
Gods law is grievious.
don't mean to say that the baseball
games are the only games in my judge
ment that are played on Sunday in
violation to Gods laws.

STYLES OF LUST
BY Hayward Myers

How long Lord will man continue
in sin. As long as women dress in
clothes of lust; man will continue to
look on her with lust. Our first parents,
Adam and Eve, sinned and caused the
world to be punished Jesus vailed
himself in humanity and atone for our
sins.
The woman that dresses in clothes
Of Temptation to drag man to her,
must burn in hell.
He'll is prepared for those who refuse
to obey the commandments of Jesus.
If you bring strong drinks back freely,
the people are going to destruction.
People are SHINING enough without
strong drinks Everybody must be
sleeping.
Oh, man remember that God is alive
on earth. Let's see if keeping our souls
clean is all we must do. Keeping our
souls clean is not enough. We must
love everyone and wish them well. We
must pray for them that hate you.
Let love stay in our hearts.
CHURCH
Jesus and the Father are one in
heaven, and we are divided on earth
Jesus prayed that we would be one
as He and the Father. The church is
one in hope and doctrine. We can't
make our Lord a stumbling block. His
word shall stand. Jesus is with us and
we do not know Him st. John 1920
Chapter. AS the Father has sent me
even so send / you. 'Lo I will be
with you all ways, even to the end

If the opening lead is a dia-

run to his j. He will lead and
ruff one club, and later dis
card two more clubs on the
two good diamonds in dummy.
He cannot fail to make a small
slam on either a diamond or
a club opening lead.
Suppose West makes an open

Ace will win. Lead a low heart,
winning with declarer's Q. Lead
the j of diamonds. Knowing
that only the of the suit is
missing, and that East may be
able to ruff, will West cover

not know that West holds z
diamonds. If West does not
cover with his @, the declarer
will next lead a low club, dunn

the dummy's J of hearts East'S
last trump will drop. The de-
clarer will have to risk taking

will then trump the last dia-

last heart held by West. Hav-
ing left only the A-Q-J Of clubs

If West will cover the j of

Dummy's j of hearts may be

giving East another club trick.

Fashion Fads and
Fancies

Always welcome is a dress of
fine black tulle. A new evening
gown done in this medium has
shoulder ruffles of the tulle
lined with pink tulle. Pink
tulle roses mark the front Of
the moulded bodice.
You will gasp at the idea Of
velvet bathing suits but they are
being shown at smart shops.
Crushed velvet is used and this
has been so treated that all the
suit needs after using is to be
twisted and wrung out, when it
will return to it's original ap-
pearance. These suits are Of
fered in various colors.
Quite gay are many Of the
new shoes. A smart shoe for
resort wear is in white lizard
with kid tabs on the vamps.
These are outlined by red, white

She went into the dining
room. The table with it's gliSt-
ening silverware and linen was
big enough to seat a dozen.
With the aid of Celeste and the
butler, Leni removed the mid
die section and reduced the size
by half.
She went into the kitchen
and prowled into everything.
Never before had she wanted to
put on an apron and cook.
For years she had been so
lonely and wretched-and now
she was craving a pittance Of
the simple warmth of ordinary
life.
And here, tonight, in this
unfamiliar kitchen of her own,
she felt herself glow and change
into a new kind of woman.
The love which she had enacted
upon the screen-that artificial
and unconvincing pretense-had
m1raculouSly awakened into
reality and flooded her through
with a new and golden form
Of life.
Cavanaugh's arrival was
touched with a curious note of
formality.
The butler met him at the
door, took his name, admitted
him as though he were a casual
visitor and went to announce
his presence to Leni.

Many Suffer From Middle Ear
Disease
Middle ear disease may be
acute or it may be chronic.
And by the middle ear is meant
that part of the hearing ap-
paratus which is situated be-
hind the drum. membrane. This
is an irregular cavity and con-
tainS three tiny bones, loosely
joined together, which assist in
the transmission of sound from
the drum to the inner ear. In
the inner ear connections are
made with the nerves of hear
ing.
Middle ear disease is not an
uncommon affection. An acute
inflammation in this cavity is
often caused by extension from
an ordinary head cold" in the
mou h of nasal passages. What
occurs here is that germs and
inflammatory processes literal
ly travel up the Eustaclian
tube, which runs from the
larynox to The middle ear. This
tube measures about If an
inch in length. It's function is
to maintain an equal air pres
sure between the middle ear
and that of the air outside the
head which presses on the drum
membrane, it's connection with
the mouth cavity allowing this
to be accomplished.
Persons who are in the
habit of shifting salt water up
the nose when the passage is
stopped, have often, by this
method, forced germs into the
Eustachian tube. Something
similar may occur when sea
bathing or swimming and it is
always a wise precaution to
place a little cotton in the ears
and nostrils before diving into
deep water.
Other illnesses may also pro-
duce middle ear disease as a
complication. Among these are
whooping cough, measles, bron-
chitis, pneumonia, scarlet fever,
tuberculosis and meningitis.
Symptoms which should make
suspicious of middle ear trou-
BILE are sensations of fullness
and dullness in the head and

Helpful Hints fol
housewives

Shining brass candlesticks are
always admired, but, oh, the
labor of constant cleaning! Try
a thin coat of white shellac next
time after you have polished
them. It will last indefinitely
if they are not handled too
much.
A vegetable casserole dish
provides an excellent means Of
using up small portions of vege-
tables, gravies, soups and meat.
1t is not necessarily hash, as
each ingredient should keep it's
identity.
Add turpentine to shoe polish
that has hardened and it will
soften it in a short time.
A teaspoon of vinegar added
to lard used for frying prevents
the food from absorbing too
much fat.
Scratches on furniture can be
removed by the application of
equal parts salad oil and vine
gar. Rub we'll into the wood
with a soft cloth until the
scratches S have disappeared.
Then polish.

Marion Davies is blond and
pretty. She is fortunate type,
for she can look we'll in almost
any color. Black is stunning on
such a blond, and at the same
time she can wear brown.
Blonds can usually wear all the
blues, can be lovely in red, in
paStels, and are equally at
tractive in white. The only
colors they have to be par
ticularly careful about are GER
tain greens and yellows. It
seems almost unfair for them
to have such an easy time.
On top of all that, Miss Davies
is slim, with a beautiful figure,
so that gowns of almost any
cut, however extreme, are be-
coming to her.
Good Grooming Counts
Such is the lot of the pretty
blond. But it is not as easy
for every pretty blond as it is
for Miss Davies, for they do
not all keep a perfect, slim fig
ure, and they are not all care
full of their hair, complexion,
and of perfect grooming, which
is even more important on a
