Sudlersville, Md.
One Sunday morning as a young
man was walking along the beach at
Brighton, he became conscious of the
voice of God which seemed to say:
"Hundson Taylor, l am going to evan
gelize Inland China, and if you will
walk with Me, l will do it through
YOU"
The youpng man responded to the
divine call. He placed his future into
the hand of God and became the hon
ored founder of the China Inland Mis-
sion.
1t might be that the Lord is saying
within your soul: ambition has paint
ed an alluring future upon the canvas
of your aspirations, but I have a lar
ger purpose for your life which, if
you will walk with me, will work out
for you in the days that are to come"
Many life is spent in some back
waters in utter stagnation, where, like
a twig of dogwood poisoning out so
beautifully in its new spring robe of
purity finally reddens and falls into
the green Shiny surface of the stag
nant pond over which it had so proud
ly swayed. And there it remains I'M

SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS


PLENTIFUL supplies of fish and
sea food at moderate prices are assur-
ed for the first week of Lent. Eggs
too, are abundant and cheap. The
cheese supply seems to vary little and
the price remains fairly constant.
A general firming of meat prices is
noticeable. Beef retails are about the
same as in recent weeks but lamb and
pork is noticeably higher. Stewing
chickens and ducks are good value.
Oranges and lettuce are outstanding
in the perishabe group. Other extra
good values will lbe found in spinach,
tomatoes, lima beans, apples and
grapefruit. Cabbage is somewhat less
expensive. Little change is noticed in
other commonly available fruits and
vegetables.
Seasonable foods make up the fol-
lowing menus:
Low Cost Dinner
Boiled Smoked Shoulder
Sweet Potatoes Dreamed New Cabbage
DICdO cIlQ
Apple Turnovers
Tea or Coffee Milk
Medium Cost Dinner
Chicken Pot Pie
New Potatoes Green Peas
Bread and Butter
Orange & Cocoanut Ambrosia Cookies

a house in Santa Monica. Being
in the middle of picture cJoy
of Lovingly, he had little time to
interview servants so he had the
applicants come to the studio. At
last, he found a housekeeper and
told her to go home and prepare a
dinner for four.
That night, the star showed up
with his cousin, Letisha Fairbanks,
Marlene Dietrich and the Earl of
Warwick.
They found the house dark and
the following note on the door:
This house is too big. I have
left"
The Fairbanks party had their
dinner at a Hollywood restaurant.
Virginia Field has airplaned
east with Vic Orsatti supposed to
follow. The Hollywood gossips see
it as more than a coincidence.
Make a note of the name, Vera
Zorina. She's in the "Goldwyn
Follies" and looks like star mate
rial. The first lavish revue of
1888 is too long in its present
footage, but has the Goldwyn touch
and is another boost for color pic
lures. Most exciting novelty is a
ballet featuring zorina, who is an
artist of the dance but who also
Is an actress of considerable ability
and undeniable glamor.
Charlie Mccarthy and Bergen
make a hit in the film, too, but
some of their gags are pretty stale.
Most frequently heard comment on
the picture: why didn't Goldwyn
make more use of Phil Baker?"
Rudy Vallee amazed the stay-up-
laters at the Cafe Lamaze by bring
ing his own electric cocktail mixer
and his own liquor. He likes a
special kind of frozen daiouiri.
And, for feminine companionship.
he still prefers Gloria Youngblood.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-26

Continued from Page O to the treatment-oxygen forced into his stified lungs and intraven- ous injections to give him nourish- ment.
 A short time earlier Master Sgt. c. c. Shaeffer, the generals per- sonal aide for 10 years, left the group of weary, anxious relatives and attendants at the cottage and went to make a telephone call to the war department in Washington. He wanted the generals old uniform sent here at once, so that in event of his death, the general could be clad in it.
 The blunt, husky sergeant was weeping when he went on the er- rand. For two days he had been passing in and out of the cottage on errands. always red-eyed and de- pressed. Occasionally he called to newsmen: Well boys, I'm going to lose my boss and best friend. It's the last roundup"
 At the time the sergeant called Washington, Gen. Pershing had fallen into a deep stupor from which the doctors could not arouse him. Dr. Davison had said that Oxygen was being given continuously to "re- lieve air hunger" and that his respiration was very irregular. The sergeant stopped to tell reporters that in case the general died, he would be taken at once to Washing ton to rest in the Arlington National cemetery.
 Only doctors entered the sick room. His sister, Miss May Per- shing, kept constant vigil outside the door. Inside, the general lay on the single bed which, in addition to table and two chairs, were the only furnishings. Shades of the two windows were drawn behind the pink curtains, and the doctors used the electric light sparingly.
 In adjoining rooms of the cottage, the doctors and attendants held consultations and the generals only three close relatives-the sister; a son, Francis Warren Pershing; and cousin. Frank Pershing, awaited the outcome. The relatives had taken cottages nearby. and during the generals rallies, they occasion ally retired to them for rest.
 The general was showing amazing vitality but in spite of it, and his occasional rallies, Dr. Davison con- sidered his condition extremely critical.
