Jerry's Downfall from
False Friends.

| valuable or so wealthy that ALL
drey held on to him and wonuld
not let him divorce her. She loved
him because Of their early life,
his kindnesh to her relatives and
his early love for her. She had
learned his pctentiahties for
good and evil early in life, and
she knew the reason for his mis-
treating Of her. 1t lay in his
deep love for her and his sense
OF inferiority because of his
wrong doing. 1t was hard for him
! to believe she had really forgiven
him. His guilty conscience made
him cruel to her..
He wasn't strong enough to
admit his weakness and ask for
forgiveness. His ego wouldn't let
him. And SO, defiant1y, he was
letting his enemies destroy him.
Sal had nothing to lose; publicity
would make her in the glamour
world But Jerry was losing Sc
cial prestige, political power and
everything through his behavior
and his associates. All he had to
On his knees and give himself to
do was to renounce all this, get
God. But the devil presented such
beautiful picture-passion,
fine cadillac fine clothes andgla-
mour. He saw the good people
suffering. He had been poor once
and he was afraid Of it. He could
not see that real friends, love and
the simple things were important.
There is nothing wrong with
having this worlds goods if you
know what to do with hem. But
Jerry just didn't. He used them
for power and lust.
Audrey held on to Jerry be-
cause she felt he would be wreck
ed if she let him go, Intact, his
enemies said divorce him and
! sec how fast he will 60 to the
dogs" Others said "can't we find
Some women who will make him
come out more in the open-lose
all his self respect"
All or most Of he women sent
by a rival firm who knew his
weakness. Audrey didn't feel like
! being pushed around, after years
of devotion to our playboy- She
wasn't the kind who takes things
/ lying down. She had wasted val
liable years Of her life. Jerry had
affected her health, her chances
/! for security, her looks and her
chances to get coed husband
while she was young. She had
been faithful TO him even when
he mistreated her.
If the difficulty had lay within
herself she would have crawled
to ask for forgiveness. But Jerry
knew that he had dcublecrossed
her continually. And all he would
say was. I'm just no good; you
should have gocten a good hus-
band-you deserved one.'
She knew Jerry loved her I'M
derneath, but he was weak afraid
of poverty he allowed her friends
and business associates who were
jealous Of her to keep them apart
He had SO much ego that he
felt he did not need her. Once.
when he was in line for power
tul political job, those in power
told him he must straighte out
MS domestic situation first. At
that point, all he needed to do
was to ask Audrey for forgive
ness, But he sent one Of his false
friend who wanted to use hime
and did not want him to get a
big job And this friend pretended
to try to get them together and
/ all the time he was using every
method t. keep them apart. He
went to live with these people
