THE SECRET OF
DIVINE POISE
By Rev. C.. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

The poise of Jesus Christ when
surrounded by the most distressing
circumstances has always been a
great inspiration to harrassed
souls.
Recall for instance, the time
when His enemies had Him brought
before the High Priest on charges
that were not only false but that
were sustained by lying witnesses.
In the presence of the malicious
ness and burning hatred of His
enemies, Jesus maintained a GER
tain poise that is astounding.
"Answerest thou nothing ?"
thundered the High Priest. what
is it which these witness against
thee?"
He held His peace and answered
nothing, declares the Gospel rec
ord.
The secret of that marvellous
poise was His decision which He
made in the Garden of Gethsem-
ane. 1t was there, when He sin
cerely prayed, mot my will but
thine be done" that Jesus gained
the victory that carried Him
through.
By an utter unreserved yielding
of ones whole will to the will of
God, there is enlisted in ones be-
half Gods special care and provi-
sion. God will see to it that you
come out victorious.
Jesus Christ could stand quietly
before His false accusers because
He was poised in God.
Although storm may be whirl-
ing about them, yielded men can
quietly stand with a poise like that
of the Rock of GibraItari

Game at SudlersviIle

Monday the girls played Field
Ball at Sudlersville. We were very
anxious to start since Sudlersville
was school which has had Field
Ball as major sport for several
years. In the first quarter, the
ball was in Sudlersville territory
most of the time and finally Sud-
lersville made goal. We started
the second quarter expecting to
make a goal, but the ball went to
Sudlersville goal and they scored
again. The Clayton girls did not
lose spirit, but continued to play
hard, but Sudlersville came in with
another goal; thus ending the half
with a score of so. In the third
Biddle made a goal for
Clayton which was the last goal
made by either side during the
game. The game ended with fin
al score of Sudlersville 6 Clayton 2.
This was our first defeat and we
hope to be better prepared Monday
when they are coming to play the
return game.

TO HOLD CAMPAIGN
Focusing On a New and Novel
Method for Motorists Attention

Advertising and merchandising
authorities in all parts of the coun-
trv were focusing their attention
today upon the new and novel pro-
motion campaign just announced
by the Sun Oil Company. manufac-
turers of Blue Sunoco Motor Fuel.
In this interesting and convincing
demonstration, the Sun Oil Com
pany had the assistance Of over
twelve hundred motorists without
even one of them being suspicious
of the fact that he was being con-
verted into testing laboratory for
Blue Sunoco. In this test, accord
ing to M. H. Lester, sales and ad-
vertising director for the Sunoco
organization, every detail was
handled by the Ross-Federal Re
search Corporation, an entirely in
dependent fact-finding organiza-
ton which conducted the expert
ments in fourteen widely separated
cities and towns. I'm each city,"
Mr.. Lester explained, "a crew of
Ross-Federal investigators solicit
ed the help of approximately one
hundred average motorists in test
ing a mystery gasoline. Those
who agreed, were asked to drive
to a designated point where all the
gasoline which was in their cars
was drained out, and ten free gal
Ions of the mystery gasoline sub
stituted. After that each driver
was asked to compare the un-
known gasoline with the fuel he
had been using. OF course, this
mystery gasoline was Blue Sum
oco-but to make identification inn
possible, we had omitted the blue.
In every other way, however, the
gasoline was regular Blue Sunoco
and an independent testing labora-
tory certified to this fact after
testing samples of the gasoline as
it was shipped by Ross-Federal
people to the various points where
the tests were conducted. After
each motorist had been allowed
three or four days to test the un-
known motor fuel, an investigator
called upon the motorist and OBJ
tanned his unbiased opinion. When
this data had been assembled we
were amozed to learn that Blue
Sunoco had been compared to no
less than fifty-four other gasolnies,
and that ninety-five out of every
hundred motorists agreed that
Blue Sunoco had improved the per-
formance of their cars. Eighty
seven percent said that it gave
them quicker starting than the
gasoline they had been using.
Frankly, we know of no more con-
vincing evidence of the outstand-
ing quality of our one and only
motor fuel than this test which
was conducted by an Independent
research corporation, made by av-
erage motorists and wholly unin-
1uenced by u.s."

tricate salad She managed to spend
three quarters of an hour over her
meal and then settled in divan to
read magazine. Time went by with
maddening slownesS.
Finally it was 8 and Madge knew
that Michael Collins was ringing her
bell and wondering why she did not
answer. He would think all sorts OF
things and he would worry. She
smiled
She went to the window and made
sure that the window of Ruggles
Baton'S shop was duly illumined
The janitor put on the night lights
Just before he left at $3.50.
Madge walked, rode in buses, wait
ed in candy shop, ceaselessly watch
ing the time. Then it was 10 O'Clock
at last. The candy shop was directly
opposite Baton's. She watched from
table near the window, slipping her
third cup of hot chocolate.
THE sturdy form Of Michael Collins
appeared around the corner
Madge recognized him at once; he
was pacing his beat and, of course
staring into store windows. She knew
he would see her hat; recognize it al
once. She had rather distinctive
little silver arrow at the front of il
and he had mentioned that often. He
liked it.
"He-saw it," The swiftness oi
what happened then left her speech
less. Michael saw the beret, stopped
suddenly and then darted into the
side alley which led to the side en-
trance into Baton's. A shot stabbed
the night 1t was followed by the
shrill blast of a police whistle.
Wildly she regretted her acts, her
plan. Michael was rookie, but this
Pardee was professional crook
What if
Michael appeared again. strong and
erect-unharmed. He held man BY
the arm. 1t was Albert Pardee This
was Michaels first arrest. Madge
did not move. She saw the police
wagon come, she thrilled at the sight
when a goldbadged officer grinned al
Michael. She fought hard to remain
where she was. She wanted to rlst
out there and hug Michael in front OF
those cops. But she waited until they
had left and then hurried home.
A half hour later the phone rang
1t was Michael. Where were you 90
night, Madge?" he asked. II saw
your hat in the window and I went
in. Just luck made me catch a crook
red-handed. I'm due for a promotion

say the word"
