Steer Clear OF ''Life

most cases, the law eventually steps

spent his money for worthless stock

There's only one way to steer
clear of these rackets-and that is
to buy insurance in companies OF
known reputation with long rec
ord Of meeting their obligations.
There are hundreds of such life in

Fashions From
New York
BY S. D. BlOeme

It's the men in the fashion
news this week. They've kicked
over the traces of color to bright
en- their suits that have been part
of their habit for the past century
the latest land we mean the
latest!) thing in mems wear is
the velvet tie. These come in all
the new colors of wine, COY blue,
and teal and the old standbys Of
royal blue and black, giving them
that rich look that up 10 now has
been only for the ladies to affect.
That they are news and an incen-
tive in mems wear, can be judged
by the volume of sales the lead
ing haberdasheries are doing with
them. One of these shops told
US they had sold their supply on
hand the very first day in stock.
Shades of Beau Brummel.
Though velvet is the predomin-
ant fabric for madame this winter
what with the Velvet Ball, etc.,
it's chiffon that is the real fabric
news. Surprisingly, chiffon is be-
ing shown more and more in the
fashionable shops, and better still
is being seen in all the fashion
able afterdarkeries. Chiffon has
never been a winter fabric and
very rarely has it been shown as
such as this year the fashion ex-
perts are being naive so with
a shrug of their shoulders and a
slight lifting of eyebrows, they
ask, why not?"
e
Why not indeed The lovely
fragility that clings to the wearer
can be perfectly realized in chif-
fon. And in the new play of var
icolors, there can be little doubt
of its being a hit-even in a Vel

OF course it is proper and fit
ting that only the formal gown is
Of this soft fabric. These make
perfect silhouettes, especially
when girdled by a rhinestone with
seemingly yards of cloth to swirl

BITS of Feathers
6A Gertrude Rathbun

| was sitting by my window one
gloomy, lonesome day:
The dripping boughs were hang
ing low, the skies were dull
and gray,
When out of nowhere to my door,
there flew a tiny bird
To sing the gayest cheeriest song
that l had ever heard.
The solo ended; out he flew into
the mist of rain
And left behind a strong desire
to have him come again.
l spread a tray with crumbs of
bread and tiny bits of wheat.
Then fingered near to see my
guest if he should come to eat.
Ere long he lighted, spied the
tray, but taste the feast? Not
he
Instead he gave his tail flirt,
and flew of to a tree.
Still hopeful, stayed patiently
where I could see the door;
To my delight, he soon returned,
and with him, several more.
They cleaned the tray of every
crumb, nor missed a grain of
wheat;
The only things left on it were
wet tracks of many feet.
My friend thought he had every
right to bring the crowd
along
Provisions were quite ample, and
he'd bought them for a song.

The importance Of the home as
the divinely appointed center Of all
human life has always made it a
special target of Satan. That on
slaught of the power of he'll is APP
parently redoubled in our day.
Books, plays, movies, magazines,
al contribute their filthy efforts to
break down all sense of moral re-
sponsibility. Sex is magnified, and
not in any useful or normal sense,
but rather for the stimulating Of I'M
holy desires and purposes, the
breaking down OF Christian stand
ards of living and the ultimate pros
titution of the most sacred of all
human relationships to a level
of which animals might well be
ashamed.
The lesson of today should be
taught with care and tact, but also
with holy boldness and a plain
ness that viii make it effective for
God and for our homes. We begin
with a word which is little spoken,
while far too often the sin for which
it stands is practiced and tolerated.
l. Adultery "a GrievOus Sin
(Exod. 20:14; Matt. 5:27, 28).
First, let us note that any viola
ton of the divine plan for the mar
riage of one man and one woman,
in loving communion for the found
ing and maintenance of the home,
is direct violation of the law of
God. 1t is also a violation of the
law of man. 1t brings serious re-.
suits in the destruction of the home,
and in the ruin of individual life
physical moral, and spiritual.
The words of Jesus broaden the
Interpretation of the commandment
to cover all sexual iInpurity in
thought, word, or deed. While we
recognize that the outward act Of
immortality carries with it con-
sequences both in the life of the in
dividual and those with and against
whom he sins, which do not follow
upon the thought Of evil without the
act, yet it is true that essentially he
is guilty who had it in his heart to
do the wicked thing even though a
sense of prudence or circumstances
hindered its execution. We need
clean hearts and minds if there are
to be clean lives.
II. Marriage Divine Institution
Mark 1868.
AS the proper background for
discussion of divorce our Lord
makes clear that marriage was or
dained by God, and that it involves
a holy union of two individuals
which makes them one. All those
who look forward to marriage
should realize that it is not a casual
thing, or a merely temporary legal
contract. 1t is a union for ife-be
1t for better or worse, in sickness
or health, in prosperity or adversely.
All who are married should there
fore highly regard their sacred
vows.
III. Divorce Limited and Remar-
rage Forbidden mark 1924, 10
12).
This passage, and other scrip
lures, teach that divorce is not per-
mitted except on the ground of adul-
terry Matt 5:32), and that any re-
marriage involves the parties in the
guilt of adultery Aware as we are
lot the laxness of some branches of
itne church in such matters, and the
almost entire lack of standards in

There can be no question that di-
vorce is a major evil in our day.
The writer has been astonished to
find one family after another in his
own respectable neighborhood
where the children bear one name
and their mothers another, or there
are two "sets" of children in one
family with different surnames be-
cause of divorce and remarriage.

the Home Mark 10:1316).
How relieved we are to leave the
consideration of such sordid, even
though vitality important, matters.
as moral impurity and divorce, and
turn to the beautiful picture of
Christ blessing the little children.
1t would appear that Jesus desired
to turn the thought of His hearers
from the negative thou shalt not
to the positive solution of the home
problem.
Children make the home. They
are Gods benediction upon the
marriage of man and woman. Sad
and disillusioned viii be the men
and women who make themselves
childless, hoping thus for more COM
fort and pleasure. The road to hap
piness does not go that way. The
soft and tender baby hand has led
many couple to full happiness. snd
