is as rich or richer than codliver

to turn up his coat collar and adjust
his scarf against chill. He snored
heavily; and as she drove on she
considered the problem now pre-
scented. This was Johnny's car. II
she took him to Cambridge, she
would have to find a taxi to her
home. If she went directly to her
home, Johnny would have to drive
to Cambridge alone-and for that
he was in no condition.
She decided to try to bring him
back to sobriety again, before they
came to Boston; and she turned off
the main highway down a short spur

shore, and stopped the car and tried

had to check speed for a moment to
allow a car coming from the left to
proceed in front Of them. Professor
Brace caught a glimpse of the man
at the wheel; and as they followed
the other car, Barbara said in quick
surprise:

Dress With Fitted Waistline.
This dress has beautifully ex-
pensive, exclusive look-and it's
so easy to do! Only six steps in

dress.
All-Day-Long House Dress.
Made on modified shirtwaist
lines, this dress is simple enough
to put on first thing in the morn

especially colorful and fiattering.

RADIANT LIVING
The Recognition Of Infinite Love
BY Rev c. NJ. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
Sudlersville, Nd.

When Hagar. lost in the wilder
ness and crazed by the suffering O.
her dying child, saw that well O
water to which God led her, she also
saw much more. She recognized the
fact that God was not unmindful ol
her need.
Driven by his fiery wife, Abram
had sent Hagar and her son forth
into the wilderness to perish. But
God was not to be thus misrepre-
sented by harshness. By disclosing
to her a well of water. He would re-
veal to Hagar His true nature of
compassionate mercy.
The greatest of the wells of
Grace which God reveals to men
perishing in the death valley of sin
is a revelation of His infinite love
so fascinating TO the soul, that a
mans whole life is changed by it.
And so il might be that some
where, in some crisis of a sinners
life, when the world has cursed him,
and the self-righteOus people have
spurned him. leaving him to perish
in encouragement and doubt, that
there has come to him a revelation
of the fact that, as John says. God
is Love!"
Thank God for the marvellous
change that comes to those whose
eyes have been opened to behold the
well of divine love from which the
soul can drink the cleansing waters
of mercy and forgiveness.

We must not forget either that Cd our funda-

been good. The independence of the courts and
of Congress- insofar as direct dominance by the
Executive is concerned, has been maintained.
Now, the move to investigate the English SyS-

progress may eventually be made toward more
orderly and responsible form of collective bar

system of work relief" and the WPA menace
may be reduced in favor of direct relief" and
