CHURCHES

Over Nineteen Hundred Years
ago, the real growth of Chris
tianity was begun. There was
group of men who thought they
had put stop to this new move
ment by crucifying Christ on FRI
day. but on the first day OF the
week Christ arose both victor
over sin and the grave. Men
were so inspired that they be-
gan to take up their crosses and
march and work for the Kingdom
of God Others have given their
lives for this cause, but TO-DAY
Christ still lives. He lives IN
the hearts of men, women and
children all over the world. Does
He live in your heart? If not
won't you let Him in?

What the devil are you talking

year -" She'd gone on to tell him
about this fellow from the West,
who had come to New York months
ago. She'd been seeing him, and
there had been a sense of Inevitable
ity about the thing from the start.
At last she'd promised to marry
him if he'd wait until she could
have clean break and understand
ing with Phil.
1T HAD been hard to take, but Phil
had to admit things worked out for
the best. They had grinned in stiff
way and even kissed each other
good-by "a formal kiss on the
cheek. They'd shaken hands like
good sports, and Kit had gone off
to marry this Bob -
Phil stopped.
He was midway between Forty
eighth and Forty-seventh. Amaze
ment came into his eyes, and the
pounding in his body became kind
of cannonade.
He turned and started back along
the Avenue, walking so fast that
people stared after him. He had all
he could do to keep from running.
If Kit had gone off the Avenue,
he was lost. He wouldn't know
where to hunt for her. He went
faster and faster, searching the
crowds ahead for that slim figure in
the gray suit. In his heart was des-
peration.
Near Fifty-fourth he saw her,
and he began to run, even disre-
garding red light. Half way along
the block he caught up with her.
He grabbed her arm.
Come along, my lass, we both
need drink" he said. "And talk"

of Kits life. "And you, you bag
gage, invented Tom to let me down
softly - and also to protect your
pride. Isn't that so? Let's kick
Bess and Tom out of our lives and
start from here?"
He could feel Kit trembling. Not
until they were sitting in little
booth and staring at each other did
she break her silence. Then she be-
gan to laugh as he reached across

ACCIDENTAL MEETING
Continued from preceding page

Continued from preceding page
the Germans were kicking the world
around. He couldn't stand the blitz-
ing of England - maybe because
his mother was English and he'd
spent half his boyhood in Devon.
So he'd joined the crowd of Ameri-
cans who'd wangled their way into
the Raj.
Because Kit could see that the
thing had really got into his blood,
she didn't fuss too much about his
going. As it turned out, she was
proud. When they agreed to be mar
ried as soon as he came back. her
eyes shone like brides.
The trouble was that he came
back just before Pearl Harbor, with
his stomach shattered. And he was
haunted by the young British doctor
who'd said, Chances are you won't
be able to live a normal, active life
again" In those days he was sure
he'd never be much good physically.
and it wouldn't do to let Kit martyr
herself by marrying an invalid. She
had the sort of loyalty which would
have forced her to marry any rem
nant of him. So he'd invented the
silly story of the girl in England -
Bess or somebody - whom he want
ed to marry as soon as he could
bring her here.
HE'D expected Kit to be staggered;
even to cry out in protest and per-
haps to weep. But after the first
second or two, she'd bewildered
him. She'd thrown back her head
and laughed. And. putting hand
on his arm, she'd said: That SIM
plifies matters. Phil. l didn't know
how l could let you down. l - was
feeling so guilty and low, but this
