Baptist Church who won the
city titles last week. The Sem
ior Shiloh 1851 champions, hard
pressed in retaining their title,
defeated Trinity in 2 out Of 3
game play-off at the Hobbs
School April 3rd, a Thursday
night. Then on Friday night,
April 4th, the Shiloh Juniors
clinched a play-off with Hillside
in packed Lincoln Jr- H. S.
Gym by a thrilling 1928 score
which gave the Juniors their
first hard won championship and
two trophies for Shiloh. This
means that at the coming Church
League Banquet, Shiloh's two
basketball teams will occupy a
sizeable share of the seats. And
hard-working Chester Works, the
former MIIS 600-yd. star, de-
serves a special trophy for
coaching two teams to a title
this year and one last year. Be-
cause Shiloh has only been in
the League two years and all
ready has won three out of four
titles. The Shiloh team over
come many obstacles. 1t has no
home gym. It needs uniforms
and jackets, befitting champions.
The boys provided their own
present uniforms and Coach
Works has provided much of his
own finances and his car to keep
the squads together. The play
ers had all sorts of offers to
join other teams. But they re-
mained loyal to Shiloh The
Senior Squad includes Bubber
Smith, Rocky Chisoln, Babe

NEW YORK SPRING
NEWSLETTER What's new
for Spring? Here are tips on
what's in the market (and has
been for the past three months)
to satisfy your intense desire for
the new, the different for a new,
different Spring.
IN SHOES: Low heels have
been so fancifully gotten up this
year, that you're just going to
fall in love with more than one
pair of them. They are soft as
butter with fluid lines and ex-
ceedingly graceful especially in
the midling heel. These are just
so feminine with bows, and
stitching and in rainbow Of
colors, that you will be walking
on air for Spring. Now when it
comes to the dressy numbers,
where heels are must, then it's
the barest of sandals this Spring.
These are just straps assembled
in every kind of manner but
showing off as much of your
bare feet as possible. And if you
have pretty feet plus good in
step - this is your chance.
IN WAISTLINES: Anywhere
YOU please - that's the status of
the fluctuating waistline. Paris
has set this style and so Ameri-
can copies are flooding the mar
ket The wandering waistline can
go to the hips in a pleated over
blouse costume or it can wander
high in a dress featuring the
wrapped belt. Take your choice.
However we prefer to think this
is a fad and will be very dated
next Spring.
IN COLORS: All this is inn
portant. Besides navy - the old
standby - brilliant red is being
given a big play. The Spanish
designers have sent over some
stunning. cape outfits in thrilling
red. So if your brown can take
it, by all means wear it. Also
high up on this Springs color
list, are the beiges to cinnamon
brown. This is a family of colors
we must especially be careful of.
So many of us have to steer
away from certain browns. Fresh
greens, we can use literally and
blend well with most brown
colorings.
Hemlines for the so Spring
continue as is showing as
much calf as you desire and as
your legs can take The men
will still be pleased with the
reasonably short skirt Hem
lines for evening wear are quite
new. They swirl at the ankle -. {.
/ Meanwhile, the overall picture
for Easter skirts - Simmer than
last year - not quite so full.
FABRICS: Almost goes as long
as it is in good taste There's
renewed emphasis on fine cot
tons and silks. Novelty will be
your pride and joy. There are
stripes, silks, taffetas and surahs
! galore for your Easter dress. The
silks are softer and smoother

WEST MEDFORD

Easter Sunday will crowd
many churches, including Shiloh
which was filled to capacity last
week, as Pastor Phillips preached
on "The Shadow Of The Cross"
Easter Baptisms will include Mr..
Edward jackson and Mr.. Rob-
ert Furey. Jr. The Sunday School
will feature the annual Easter
programs and the youth group
will present the annual Pageant.
~ Easter UpIift -
Television fans were pleasant
" surprised last Sunday to see
Mrs. Dugger, the Massachusetts,
Mother of the Year, on the WBZ
Highway Safety program panel
along with Gov. Paul A. Dever,
Registrar Rudolph F. King. and
other distinguished guests. Which
brings us to an inspiring Easter
story. Two Medford widows,
Mrs. Hannah Phillips, who was
chosen American War Mother,
with five sons in the service, all
officers; and Mrs. Dugger, Mass.
Mother of the Year who has
aided all her six children through
college, have not only brought
fame to our city, but they also
had much in common to teach
all mothers. Both women, in
spite Of hardships and sacrifices,
kept faith in God. They re-
mained faithful to large families,
and kept the home fires burn
ing. They both remain refresh
ingly modest and continue to
help others. Medford is much
finer city because we have such
fine people. And that includes
all the rest Of you good folks,
too. Which should make us all
quite happy this Eastertime.

How Can You Tell?

Another question: How do we
know you are teaching the TRUTH
How can we tell you from false
prophet? Jesus gives a simple an
swer: You can tell tree from its
fruits. People who criticize Chris
tianity should keep this point in
mind There is a great deal in
Christianendom' which is not
good. But Christendom is not
Christianity, Not even the church
is Christianity Anything in the
church that ought not to be there,
we must set down against the ac-
count of the church, not against
Christ. II the church is weak and
sinful it is because and so far as
she has failed to follow Jesus, not
because she has followed him. The
fruits Of Christ, of his heart, his
spirit, his teachings-these are
good fruit. And If any one is dis
posed to doubt that, let him fairly
answer this question Where would
you rather live, in community
in which the citizens were strange
ly like Jesus. or one in which they
were Just the opposite?

Bible i'm a Nutshell

Some one might ask; can | you
make your teaching simpler and
palmer? Could you put the whole
thing in a nutshell?' SO Jesus gives
the Golden Rule t7:l9, a single
sentence that has embarrassed the
ologlan and plain Christian alike
Jesus offers this as kind of sum
mary of the Bible, for in his time
the Bible he had tour "Old fiesta
ment'D was customarily called
1.-THE Law and the Prophets. . TINS
bothers the theologian because II
always seandalizes a scholar TO

accustomed to finding great deal
more in the Old Testament than
the Golden Rule. 1t Lothers the

cause when he looks at this SEN

Will 1t Work?

One more question: Your teach
ing sounds interesting and is ideal
istic and all that. but is it meant
for this world? win it work? Jesus
quite emphatically claims for his
teachings an absolutely practical
value. They are not for some New
er-never Land, they are not for
some other time, some other life.
They are not some radical upside
down topsy-turvy mess Of peculiar
notions. They are the bedrock of
life that will endure through
storms. Do you want TO find out
whether these teachings and ideals
Of Jesus will work. He invites one
and all to build their house of life
upon them. He does not promise
at any time that those who live by
his teachings will be free from
trouble, sorrow, opposition, trag.
edy. Storms come to all houses
alike. What he does promise is that
the life built here shall not fall.

Is Not Faith Enough?

Another question: Isn't a single
act of faith enough? II l believe
what / ought to believe, and if /
honor Christ as Lord, isn't that
enough to make nae a Christian?
Jesus offers a test Of faith, as if
in answer to some such question.
1t isn't just believing; it isn't pay
ing honor to the name of Christ
it isn't preaching in his name, it is
not even performing miracles. The
question that will be asked at the
Day of judgment is: Did you do
the will of God?
