BILE political combination which he

Certainly, that is a reasonable
contention. 1t is not worthwhile
dwelling further on explanations.
Mr.. Churchill is out. A real Labor
government with an ambitious So
ciaistic program and full control
is in. There will be slight change-if
any-in British foreign policy. The
changes will be in the domestic field
and these will be interesting and
important.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Labor party has the ability to i'm
plement its program, and If it has,
how the British people will like it,
There is this also to remember-full
responsibility for all unpleasant and
untoward happenings in the period
of reconversion and reconstruction

whatever goes wrong, its leaders
will be blamed, and a good many
things are bound to go wrong.
They have now inherited all the

cuddle and sprawl and tuck their legs under

secretary to the great Jules Marcosson might
be expected to sit. For Leila was never quite
able to forget that she was Jules Marcosson's
secretary, and that when you said Jules
Marcosson. you said Zenith Pictures
Marcosson was short and fat and domi-

on the ball. And he was power, by reason of
both his bankroll and his brain.
Leila, in small way, was his alter ego
Or so she liked to think. She was cool and i'm
pertmbable, with black hair and cold gray
eyes set in face all peaches and cream. And
she was power too. BY association.
She had held her coveted post for three
years. and as everyone in the Industry knew,
she had the great Marcosson's ear. If she
wasn't the power behind the throne, she was
at least guardian of all the avenues leading
to it. She could damn with faint praise, kill
with kind word, and build or blast a career
with a well-timed gesture or look. Not

that. His name dover" if she caught
it at all, didn't mean thing to her.

he wasn't there, and again as though he was,

ear. 1t terminated in his brain, and lowered

That was power. And it was hers. She knew
it. and everyone at Zenith knew it. And it was
power from which there was no appeal.

had to see Leila first If you were rich or i'm

1888, the FIST service was held in the
new church. Seventeen years after
wards the building was completed
with a large square tower becoming
a Landmark as the only one Of its
kind in the section.
Growth of the congregation made
the church on Fourteenth street too
small and in 1923 the property was

site was purchased In the interim

spoke to him, reafflrming the old

he would become a great nation.
The word applies to us today AS

but The Pharoah under whom Joseph
served was of the best breed He
greeted Joseph's country pumpkin
brothers with ease and graciouSness
and bade them welcome to Egypt
Then came the meeting between

One is struck by the fact that the

blessed Pharoah" - gave him the
full, solemn and impressive bene-
diction which he had learned from

showed Difference to the age of his
