Radiant Living
HE ASK FOR
so LITTLE
By Rev. c. M. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

AS Jesus sat at the curb of
Jacobs well during the noontime
hour, his disciples having gone into
the nearby village, his meditations
were interrupted by the coming
of woman, carrying a large emp
ty water jar. Without a glance at
him, she mechanically lowered the
jar into the well. Hearing it
splash into the cool water far be-
low, Jesus became aware that he
was thirsty.
will you give me drink ?" he
asked pleasantly, breaking the sill
ence.
The woman turned quickly and
looked at him keenly. She was
startled, surprised, curious.
'tHow is it that you a Jewish
Rabbi have condescended to speak
to me, a woman, and Samaritan
woman at that? ?" she asked.
However, she tipped the heavy
jar toward him that he might sip
drink from it's brim. He was
deeply aware of the ignorance of
the woman and of the absence of
moral excellence from her life.
He pittied her. He longed to en-
tighten her He would cause her
to realize that, not he, but she, was
in reality the thirsty one.
4 He began to converse with her,
and, as you remember, it was not
long before she asked: Sir, give
me this water, that I thirst not. "
Jesus had asked her for so little.
Yet, he, himself, had so much to
give. Not only did he enlighten
her spiritual darkness but he gave
her joyous recognition of his
Messiahship,
What had she refused him that
little sip of water! Would not she
had been the greater loser?
Can it be that you have not re
ceived the enrichment which the
Christ has for you because you
have refused to give Him the little
that He ask Of you?

in accord with Him, rejecting
goodness and power. Man and

Glee Club

The girls glee club this year is
the largest we have had for sever
al years, and has proved to be very
interesting. The music which has
been chosen for presentation to the
public is familiar not only to the
club itself, but to the listeners as
we'll
Thanks to Mrs. Fearon, the club
has done splendid work, and with
her supervision has accomplished a
great deal in their study of music.
AS part of our work, we have
learned various religious numbers,
have brushed up" on our school
songs, and are now preparing for
our annual Spring Concert, to be
held on or about April 4.

Made Supreme Sacrifice

1t is a long time since the echoes
of the first World War rolled away,
but in the voluminous records of
the War Department stories of gal
lantry and self-sacrifice are still be-
ing revealed. In such cases some
appropriate recognition is made,
even though more than a score of
years have passed.
More than twenty-five years ago
u. S. Marines were holding tena-
ciously to the gains they had made
in Belleau Wood, France. An in
tense enemy bombardment of high
explosives and gas shells wounded
or killed many members of the
company.
One badly wounded marine had
his gas mask shot away, yet disre-
garding his own safety and know
ing full well that the effects of the
gas would prove fatal to him, Gun
merry Sergeant Fred w. Stockham
insisted upon giving his gas mask
] to the wounded man.
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1941-03-06

Then with undaunted courage
and valor, Stockham continued to
direct and assist in the evacuation
of the wounded in an area satur-
ated with gas and swept with
artillery fire, until he collapsed
from the effects of the noxious
fumes. His exposure to the gas
caused his death a few days later.
When a review of the War De-
partment records several months
ago revealed the heroism of Stock
ham, he was posthumously award
ed the Congressional Medal of Hon.
or by direction of President Roose-
welt. Rarely have the records
brought to light story more re-
plete with nobility of character,
human interest and self-sacrifice.

Senior Civics

Last week the senior civics class
visited the Legislature and the
Kent County Jail in Dover. Every
one seemed quite interested in the
procedure in which the Legislature
was carried on, and as equally in
terested in the facilities for the
care of prisoners.
The next day the class visited
the State Welfare Home, and was
greatly impressed by the fine work
that was going on.

Here's a stunning variation upon
your favorite SnirtWaiSter theme
a tailored dress that includes hood
that lies fat like a sailor collar, in
stead of punching up and sticking
out-quite the smartest, neatest hood
you ever saw. And il you don't want
q hood of any kind, you can make
your frock plain, with pointed revers
at the open throat. Also, the pat
tern gives you a choice OF long bishop
sleeves or plain, above-the-elbow
sleeves. So you can easily see it
will be fun to work with, providing
ideas not only for several tailored
frocks, but several types of tailored
frocks.
Make up several versions of it
q crisply tailored short-sleeved ver-
sion in striped linen or Sharkskin,
q hooded version in spun rayon or
silk print, with the long, romantic
sleeves. Easy to make, with detailed
