Religion
THE CART BEFORE THE
HORSE
By T. ELLIS

Straight thinking is the first
requisite of good living. Many Of
our religious ideas are foggy and
underlined. A few pertinent cen
fences in a tract catch my eye,
and call for quotation:
1.-THE Gospel is not good advice,
but Good News! 1t does not tell
us what we ought to do for God;
it tells us what God has done for
us. It does not offer us lessons
from the life of Christ; it offers
us life by the death of Christ. . .
There is no gospel of salvation in
what people do for Christ, but only
in what He has done for them
That is a clear call back to first
things. Before any "social gospel
can be effective there must first
be accepted the gospel of personal
salvation. Moody used to say. I'VE
do not work to the cross, but from
the cross" Daily our hearts
should sing, Jesus keep me near
the cross"
As sinners, saved by grace, we
bow before Thee this morning, our
Saviour, and pray for a refresh
ing consciousness that we are
Thine, redeemed by Thy blood.
Amen

speculative I'm glad to know you
can warm up to something, she
said cryptically. You're welcome
to my goldfish. She disappeared,
came back with a teakettle, and
a moment later the goldfish were
sloshlng about inside. Elwood took
the kettle from her extended hand
and backed toward the door.

Elwood said to himself in letters

Miss Devlin said, but how did it

He backed outside before she
could frame another question, went
downstairs in the elevator, ignored
Joe's pop-eyed stare at the tea
kettle, and went around the corner
and made a pet-shop owner pres
ent of kettle and goldfish.
Then he came home and listened
to the sounds of Miss Devln's
packing
The next morning Elwood met
her at the elevator She was sur
rounded by luggage and Elwood
did the gentlemanly thing and car
ried her bags out to the waiting
cab.
Well" Miss Devlin said. good

Eiwood shook her hand. Her
lovely eyes studied him curiously.
What don't you like about me??'
she said abruptly.
Elwood opened and closed his
mouth like one Of the lamented

weakly.

she added.

said. that's really something.

thoughtfully, and then went to his
apartment.

couple who moved about like mice.
Elwood corrected papers at ms
desk, raised his eyes and saw
back cover of magazine. MISS
Devlins long dashed eyes smiled
up at him.
Elwood stared at them for three
quarters Of an hour, then put an
atlas on top of the magazine and
went back to work.
Kind of quiet, amt It! Joe
said the next morning.
Peaceful" Elwood corrected
him. but he looked harried.
A MONTH later, the assistant VINO
was filling in at the university ior
MIR. Blake, announced to the class
that the days lecture would be
based on Mr.. Blake's theory that
like should attract like, that the
basis of happy marriage was a
community of interests. that 70
mantle impulses must be shelved
to make way for thoughtful analy-
SIS and reasoning "Mr. Blake.
the lecturer said, has, as you
know, unaccountably disappeared,
but we hope to hear from him at
any moment"
At the same time, across the
continent, Miss Terry Devlln,
rising young starlet of Glamor
Productions, walked slowly of the
set toward her sumptuous dressing
quarters.
She glanced only briefly at the
odd individual in her path who
kept shifting nervously from one
foot to the other. He wore medieval
armor and a helmet, and carried
spear.
His eyes peered furtively and
anxiously from under the metal
visor.
Hey" a familiar voice issued
from the helmet. Miss Devlin -

"Yes?" she said. and paused.

"toR PHYS sake" Miss Devlin
SAID again, and then became COM
posed. She gave him the flutter-
ing eyelash treatment, and smile
played about the corners of her
mouth. Well" she said, you
could take me to dinner tonight. "
The visor had dropped down,
and she couldn't see his face, but
Elwood didn't look like an expert
on the safe and sane marriage.
Behind the helmet his face wore
instead the fatuous smile of a man

Gift Giving

Gift-giving was well established
among Northern European tribes
before they became converted to
Christianity. It was so much of an
obligation among pagan Germans to
distribute gifts that men actually
left the country during the holiday
season to escape gift-giving.
