Radiant Living
NOT CLOTHES
BUT CLOTHED
BY Rev. G. M. Griffeth
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

Have you ever noticed that
there is practically nothing record
ed in the Scriptures concerning the
clothes that were worn by Jesus of
Nazareth?
Today a considerable amount of
publicity both by picture and in
text is given to the clothes that
are worn by our celebrities. The
material, the design, the color and
the charm of the clothes are de-
scribed in minute detail. The cost
of the clothes is often played up.
We are even reminded of the sheet
that Khandi wears.
But of the clothing of Jesus, the
New Testament is silent-with the
exception of the mention of the
ceamless robe for which the sold
iers who crucified Him gambled.
It was not the clothes but the
man that captured the pens of the
kriters of the New Testament. It
was not His clothes but His spirit
that caught their eyes, that held
their attention, that imprinted it
self indelibly upon their memories.
81 don't remember whether
Jesus was wearing a brown robe
or a white one, nor do remember
the kind of sandals He was wear
ing" 1 can imagine st. John say
ing in those days that followed, Il
don't remember just how He was
dressed, but 1 can never forget
that expression on His face-the
unfathomable depths of His dark
brown eyes, the winsomeness of
His smile, the intriging charm of
His rich mellow voice that captur-
ed me when, lifting His arms to-
ward us in that irresistible appeal;
He invited: Come unto me all ye
that labor and are heavy laden,
and will give you rest"
Clothes may cover ones body,
but there is something else with
out which ones spirit is not yet
clothed

SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY
Told By L. L. Stevenson in
His Own Immical Way
of DOings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

There is many story among the
uniformed men who stand at the
doors of various New York estab-
ishments, night clubs and apart
ment houses. Though their attire is
often glittering. the job is menial
one, bowling and scraping and open
ing and closing doors of imported
cars or mere taxicabs. But in the
ranks at the moment are former
star of the silent screen, former
boxing champion, one-time big
contractor, several members of
Russian nobility as well as men
who have held positions of trust and
responsibility. Then there is Elmer
Szemzo, guardian of the portals of
Zimmerman's Hungaria. He sell
dom plays cards. When he does, it
is never for more than penny a
point. Yet Szemzo, member of
a noble family Of Hungary, is a
doorman because of gambling.
SzemZo's uncle was known
throughout Europe as the man who
played cards with gloves on. Natu-
rally there was reason for such ac-
ton. When a young man, he had
promised his distressed mother that
he would never touch card. The
gloves enabled him to keep that
promise. But luck was against him
and his fortune went over the gam
ing tables. Then there was Sem
zo's father, also a well-known but
more conservative gambler. For
years his lucky streak continued
and finally he became known as
one of the richest men in Hungary.
But the turn came and the fortune
he had amassed went back over
the gaming tables. Now he lives
on the Riviera, his sole income a
small pension which he receives as
a retired Hungarian general.
When the family estate shrank
from $4,000 acres to a small plot
near Budapest, Szemzo came to this
IOAlI1 w oLAAJ d5A4SN4bIlCs 6 A4bSAAA-
ing to cultivate that last bit of land.
But word came that his father had
lost it in card game. So he looked
about for job. AS that was just aft
er the World war, jobs were scarce.
But he finally obtained position
in a restaurant. He worked his
way UP quickly and became man.
ager of that restaurant. He held
other similar positions, then mar
ried a young American girl, a ply
sician. She preferred to practice
in the Midwest and they separated.
Then bad breaks came. When Zim-
norman opened his new restaurant,
Szemzo applied for the doorman's
post. Zimmerman knew his father
in the old country and put him to
work. And he has no taste for gam

were quickly reached, based on a
superior anatomical knowledge,
and he did not hesitate on the ex-
tremist remedies. Whatever may
have been the opinion of the regu-
lar profession, who had an ortho-
dox method of procedure, and re-
garded him as stepping outside it,
he ventured where most of them
dare not tread, and mostly with
decided success. DR.. Green's
greatest enemy was his own frail
constitution, from his cradle to his
grave. The organic troubles of
the nerves and heart were ever in
his way of that laborious routine
of daily duties necessary to profess
sional success. But for this his
life might have passed in very
different sphere. For ten years it
has been a struggle for him to live,
viz: it required the greatest care,
but he carried with him through it
all the same cheerful demeanor.
When in better health twenty and
thirty years ago his reputation
was widely known throughout the
Peninsula and his skill frequently
sought. He maintained through
out his life the warm associations
of his early life; there was no
place that gave him more pleasure
to visit than Smyrna and its vicin-
ity, and thither his remains were
brought for their final resting
place on Sunday and deposited in
Glenwood cemetery.
