| Mrs. Byrnes
| Is HOnOred

Mrs. James F. Byrnes, wife of the
Secretary of State, was the honor
guest at luncheon yesterday of the
American Newspaper Women's Club.
The party was given in the Chinese
room of the Mayf1ower, as the at
tractive clubhouse at 1904 Twen-
tieth street is too small for such a
large fete. The wives of the other
members of the cabinet also were
guests of the club, the only absen-
tees being Mrs. James v. Forrestal,
wife of the Secretary of the Navy
who is with him at Hot Springs, and
Mrs. Lewis Schwellenbach, wife of
the Secretary of Labor, who was in
disposed.
The large horseshoe shaped table
had low mounds of early autumn
blossoms alternating with lighted
candles, and among the 130 guests
were women prominent in the news
of the day. leading hostesses in
official, diplomatic and residential
circles and women writer's of the
news. Miss Genevieve Reynolds,
president presided and introduced
each of the cabinet hostesses and
explained that time forbade her
presenting all of the distinguished
guests. She did, however, introduce
Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the former
Secretary of State, who has been an
associate member since the early
days of the organization and is one
of the very popular hostesses in
official life here. Mrs. Hull was
obliged to rise the second time to
acknowledge the continued applause.
She stood with Miss Reynolds, Mrs.
Byrnes and others of the cabinet
circle for the informal reception
following the luncheon.

peace there shall be no end"
It needs the Crystal Christ, many
faceted and with a heart of fire of
love, to turn our times into a
Kingdom Of Heaven era. He alone
can make the vile clean, the greedy
and caste conscious humble and
brotherly, the radical tolerant, the
corrupt politician a patriot, the ma
tionalist a world citizen, the ma
terialist a friend Of God. For His
dear sake men will cast of all lesser
allegiances, that they may follow
Him wherever He leads.
Our lesson links Isaiah with Mary
of Nazareth by Luke's beautiful
story of the annunciation. This is
sublime literature, the glimpse OF
Gabriel, sent from high Heaven
bearing the councils Of eternity to
a village maiden; the dazed and
reverent and submissive girl.
The awesome announcement OF
the Virgin Birth of the Saviour, pre-
named Jesus, OF whose kingdom
there would be no end, has troubled
many scholars, even as it troubled
Mary. In truth some preachers have
given more attention to arguments
about the Virgin Birth than to the
mission Of Jesus or to the character
OF Mother Mary herself, the most
highly favored among women. Why
may not we, like her, accept this
first miracle In life that was q
miracle in itself and replete with
later miracles?
