Malachi Demands Honesty Toward God
"RRAss TAcKs' ON THE SUNDAY School LESSON

latter visit to Nehemiah that NAL
achi gave his message to the people.
In this message Of Malachi the
style Of the prophecies is changed
to the rabinical method Of question
and answers. A general truth is af-
lirmed, or some ground Of complaint
alleged: the peoples objection is
stated, the objection is refuted, and
warning or promise is pronounced.
In the first chapter of Malachi he
asserted that the Lord loved His peo-
plc-"I have loved you, saith the
Lord" Then he turns to the priests
who were as bad, or worse, than the
people they were supposed to lead
in the way Of Righteousness.
20 priests, that despise My name
And we say. Wherein have we de-
Spised thy name?
I'VE offer polluted bread upon
Mine altar
How the Priests Sinned.
These priests not only offered
polluted bread upon the holy affairs,
but lame and sick animals were Of
fcred as sacrifices, animals that cost
the priests nothing and that made
a shame of the ceremony of sacri-
flee. They also had their minds much
more on the money they would re-
ceive for their services, than on their
duties to the Lord. And finally. they
were weary Of their religious duties
and found no joy in them.
There is lovely passage telling
what the true priest should be-"The
law of truth was in his mouth, and
iniquity was not found in his lips
he walked with Me in peace anc
equity, and did turn many away from
iniquity.
For the priests lips should keer
knowledge, and they should seek the
law at his mouth: for he is the mes
Sengel Of the Lord Of Hosts"
The people were not bringing theil
tithcS to the church as they should
The men were marrying women OF
heather nations and then divorcing
them, and they were committing
many other sins.
I'VE have Wearied the Lord witt
your words" Malachi told them: now
was the time to act and show THEN
loyalty. Return unto Me, and / vii
return unto you, saith the Lord OF
Hosts

Gayle smiled. She loved to watch
Bill take charge. He was never so
happy as when managing" things,
and he was plainly enthusiastic
about presentation OF the new play.
Anyway, Gayle herself had mass
of details to attend to concerning
the social part Of the evening.
A garden party for 1000 people

task. First of all, Gayle had to plan
her own course. She sat until mid
night last evening with pencil and
paper, outlining her duties in de-
tail. She decided that the other six
girls should share the burden with
her, and in this Bill concurred.
Today, therefore, she took the
six and walked carefully about
the great lawn and gardens dis
cussing with them every detail.
The gardeners would direct park

Mr.. Merrifield and Mr.. Weems

firmly steer them through the first
floor of the mansion, out the sun

walk toward the oalI-canopied the

would be presented.

This was only the start of the
planning. They kept at it all day,
until Bill returned from town at
. p. m. He was grinning broadly,
but didn't talk. He just asked
everyone to be on hand early to-

towns columnists, especially Cholly
Harrington on The Chronicle-Post,
who was the most widely read,
spoke almost daily of The Oaks
and its affairs. Cholly rather liked
the Mcrrificld kids" as he called
them. He liked their sincerity. He
liked them because they were a
sharp and pleasing contrast to the
sophisticatcs and the rseudo-sophis-
ticatcs who Cluttered up much of
society's upper crust. OF the lat
ter, this trenchant observer grew
increasingly tired. The Merriiield
kids were a welcome, wholesome
hobby for him.
Cholly especially liked to rub it
in on the high hat crowd that the
first party and play at the Merri-
field mansion had not been "eXclu-
sive." The people present were
largely middle-class youths, friends
of Bill and Gayle and of the six
other girls, plus the carly ones who
bought tickets to the play. Only
400 tickets were available; they
had sold in two days.
On a morning this week, there

THE CARPENTER who haG
been called by Bill Bailey was
standing with Bill now in the great
reception hall Of The Oaks. He held
a folding ruler, and ne was tigur-
ing with pencil on paper pad.
The whole thing can be done
for less than $780," the carpenter
said. You see, it's short parti-
ton, and except for the one sup
porting post in the center, it's hol-
low. 1t can be taken down in a half
day, and put back in slightly more
time. Only new materials needed
will be some molding and paint"
Bill nodded. "Thanks. I'll let you
know. AS soon as L talk to Mr.
Mortified about it."
Later in the day Mr.. Mortified
approved removal of the partition
Making an opening there would, il
effect, double the size of the recen-
ton or ballroom, which already
opened onto the music room. This
in turn could be enlarged by open
ing French doors onto the wide sun
porch. Total result was an eXpansc
of floor something like an audi
forum.
Later, in a huddle with Gayle,
Bill said, "Wc've got enough room
for 800 couples noW!"
"Bill!" Gayle was impressed.

She struck at him, but he evadet
her and ran, laughing when she
pursued. Part of the pleasure OF
working and living here was the
constant teasing and bantering OF
the young folk.
AS a matter of fact, Bill Bailey
really did have some ideas about
"The Wit to Woo" That is, about
the business end of it. A week hac

had announced the Forthcoming
