Men gossip, too. ladies, so you
can just stop needing me about
1t in the scented mail.
AS a matter of fact, men are,
in many ways, worse gossips than
women. Their motives are more
vicious and the results more
devastating for their victims.
Except when women get of
on the sex theme. their gossip
about other women usually is
something the victim can COM
bat with simple dignity. The abb
sent club member might, If she
had dictaphone concealed be-
hind a picture on the wall, near
that she is a poor housekeeper,
lets her children run wild, has
atrocious taste In clothes and
makes her poor, dear husband
get his own meals while she
traipses around.
Maybe the going will get
tougher and she will be accused
Of being a secret drinker or, at
her age. trying to act like a
fllley in the presence of attrac-
tive men.
Words Won't Harm
Sticks and stones may break a
woman's bones, but words will
never harm her unless she gives
the ladies reason to suspect she
isn't all she ought to be, morally
Just let her be seen lunching
With a man other than her hus-
band and the girls will be of
10 the races. even though the
ruth is innocuous enough,
Within week, the original story
can become as juicy as an article
IN an expose magazine.
1t is then that the victim dis
covers who her real friends are
because not all women, by any
means, are feline and cruel
She can still hold up her head.
With men. gossip takes diff
ferent tack. 1t is rooted, for the
most part, in the competition for

"Warren's parents do not have

money for the necessities of life
but when Warren sees how my
parents live, I think he gets a
little jealous and goes out to

parents have often said that he
is OVERRIDING the generosity.
Warren also overlooks the
fact my parents gave us Sc

When I buy a gift for my

as much as my husband-as he

have some Injuries, so it is often
hard to find something that will

Sermon

Fellowship is a great Christian
word. Our churches should be
the means of fellowship for US,
for we all need this basic provi-
sion for happy living. The
Christian religion is never a
two-way relationship between
God and the individual. It is a
three-way relationship between
God and me and my fellowmen.
Jesus taught us to love God with
all our hearts and our neighborS
as ourselves. If we are to be
right with God, we must be right
with our neighborS. Jesus once
said a person goink up to wor-
ship God who rembereded that
he had wronged his neighbor
should first go get the matter
right with his ncighbor then GO
TO worship God. He did not

The script. which dealt
with q Lincoln scholars
plan to burn an original
draft Of the Gettysbufe adj
dress on TV to convince
Americans Of the real mean
ing Of the speech, lacked
proper motivation through
out. It plodded along from
the beginning and simpered
to an embarrassing halt.
The idea Of the play itself,
however, it seems. was en-
tirely legitimate. All one has
to do Is glance at the letters
to the editor in the adaily
paper to see that we get in
censed at far less than the
burning Of an original docu-
ment.
But the righteous indig-
nation the actors should
have been able to put across
was inconvincing, mainly be-
cause none of them seemed
to give q hoot. Either that,
or more likely what they said
simply sounded too phony
to register.
Perhaps if the authors
could have paid more atten-
ton to the substance Of the
Lincoln speech. it would have
been a more rewarding ses-
sion. Nonetheless. it was a
