IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Filet Crochet Set for the 'Forgotten' Chair UNDAY I CHOOL Lesson S The Passing of Thalberg. OLLYWOOD,CALIF — Big an industry as the moving picture industry is, the death of one slender, shy, frail man has stunned it. The old guard of this business has lost its little corporal and the second generation of pro ducing talent is left with a yawn ing gap where yesterday there loomed a leader who was both a pioneer and a progressive. Irving Thalberg was an authentic genius of the films — a master showman, a deft in terpreter of that tricky art which finds i t s medium through story and camera and screen. It will be long be fore they breed an other Thalberg out here. For men of his brain, his ener- gy, his pathflnding instincts don’t come in sets, don’t often Irvin S. Cobb come singly. The name Napoleon has been overworked to describe ability with in some small body, but here, to the limits of his own craft, was not only a Napoleon but a Daniel Boone and a Balzac all polled in one. Payroll Patriots. COME low industrial royalist has • been checking up on the sisters and the cousins and the aunts of New Dealers who are on the federal payroll. We call that nepotism when the opposition does it, or fam ily love when one of our own crowd is guilty. ‘Twould seem Dixieland leads in this display of domestic affection. The champion is Senator Smith of South Carolina. There were all sorts of delegates at the Demo cratic national convention, but he was the only walking delegate — walked out twice, and each time walked right back again. He has five relatives drawing salaries from Uncle Sam. Even Uncle Jack Gar ner, the sphinx of Texas, has three. This looks like an improvement on the old southern system, when kinfolks dropped in for a week-end and stayed the rest of their lives. • • • Summer Annoyances. F VEN in sun - kicked California, — summer is on its last legs. This one will go down in history as the summer which produced handies, knock-knocks; the dust storm and the campaign speech, these two be ing interchangeable terms in most cases; likewise the seventeen-year locust and the gentleman who was in active charge of our Olympic team’s trip to Berlin. People were seriously annoyed in other ways, too. • • « Political Geysers. (‘AN it be we made a mistake — by plowing under cotton instead of orators? That famous phenomenon of na ture in Yellowstone park, which spouts at such frequent intervals ought to be getting uneasy. Any moment it may lose its name of old faithful and become known as the Junior John Hamilton geyser. And Secretary Ickes certainly is qualifying as the minute-man of the new revolution — or oftener than that, if there's an audience. Colonel Knox isn’t doing so badly, either. In the modern version of “the spirit of ’76,” he’s the one who’s beating so hard on the eardrum. Still, it's a grand thing — but surprising — to find a newspaper editor who talks forcibly on his feet instead of writ ing feebly on his seat. On the other hand, Uncle Jack Garner continues to be the ideal back-seat driver — the one who hasn’t said a single word during the entire trip. • • • Dictators and Shirt Tails. T ET’S see. Among others, we — now have the blue shirts in Ireland, the brown shirts in Ger many, the red shirts in Russia, and, of course, the black shirts in Italy, which seems the most practical of all because you don’t need to wash a black shirt for months and months. So maybe we’re too quick. The alarmists among us are predicting an early dictatorship here. At the rate all the standard shares are being snapped up, we’ll have to think up a new color in shirts, and, unless we hurry, there may not be any new colors to think up, and you can't have a dictatorship with out a shirt to match — that's the rule. Lavender hasn’t been taken yet by anybody, but lavender seems kind of sissy, and, while, a gravy colored shirt might suit the careless eater, it lacks zing, don't you think? In any event, our shirt ought to have a good long tail to it, be cause, by that time, the American taxpayer probably will have lost his pants. IRVIN 8. COBB © Western Newspaper Union. By REV. HAROLD L LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for October 4 THE MACEDONIAN CALL LESSON TEXT — Acts 1» 4 - t5; Romans 15:18-21. GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.—Matthew 28:19. PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul'» Wonderful Dream. JUNIOR TOPIC—God a Call to a New Continent. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—A Cry for Help. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The World's Need of Christ. The roots of American life, cul tural and religious, reach back in to the European soil on which our forefathers dwelt. The lesson be fore us is therefore of peculiar in terest, for it relates the first step in the carrying of the gospel into Europe, and ultimately to America. Paul, the missionary with a pas tor’s heart, felt constrained to go and visit the centers where he had ministered on his first journey. As he proceeded he was providentially hindered and led by the Holy Spirit to Troas. Here his next “step” seemed for a time to be a “stop,” but soon God in a vision called him into Macedonia—and the gos pel had come to Europe. It is of interest to note that Paul, as he thus began his second mis sionary journey, was I. Obedient to the Spirit (Acts 16:6-12). He had certain plans in mind. He set out with a purpose, but he was willing to have his own itinerary changed as the Holy Spirit led. It is significant that the guidance was negative as well as positive. The stops as well as “the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord” (Ps. 37:23). Chris tians will do well to remember that providential hindering circum stances may be as much the lead ing of God as the heavenly vision. We are to be obedient to any guid ance He gives but we are not to be merely passive, but actively submissive to His will. Paul was about the Father’s business, not idly waiting for the speaking of a voice from heaven. It is to such a man or woman that the Mace donian call comes even in our day, only now it comes from China, India, South America, or Africa, II. Faithful in Testimony (vv. 13, 14). Paul, with his companion Silas, Timothy who had joined them at Lystra, and Luke (note that the “they” of V. 8 becomes “we” in V. 10) came to Philippi in Mace donia, but they found no Mace donian man waiting for them. Had they been mistaken in their vision and call? True missionaries are not thus easily discouraged. They had come to be fishers of men. The fisher man does not expect the fish to come to him. He goes after them. Paul soon discovered that there was a place of prayer at the river, evidently a gathering place of de vout Jews for worship. There he met the man of Macedonia who turned out to be a woman. For some reason the men were absent from the place of prayer on that all - important Sabbath morning. Lydia was a woman of distinc tion, business ability, and of high moral character. But Paul knew that even good people need to be saved. He spoke the truth of God. She accepted the message as God opened her heart, and at once she entered into III. Fellowship in Service (v.15). Lydia proved herself to be one of that noble succession of women who have served Christ and the church. She and her household shared in the ministry of Paul by their Christian hospitality, thus helping forward the missionaries. Observe carefully that she was not saved by her works, but that her works followed naturally after her salvation. Turning now to one of the epis tles of Paul we look at his exposi tion of certain IV. Fundamental Missionary Principles (Rom. 19:18-21). Those things which Christ had wrought (Paul took no glory to himself) through him Paul had consistently directed into fields where no one else had preached the gospel. The spirit of the missionary of the cross is that of the pioneer, pressing ever onward, taking new land, not duplicating the work of others, not jealous of their suc cess, not seeking comfort or glory. Men need the gospel; they are lost without it. Let us press on into the yet unoccupied territory. Sorrow and Enjoyment We are sent here, in one sense, to bear and to suffer; but, in another, to do and to enjoy. The active day has its evening of repose; even pa tient sufferance has its alleviations, when there is a consolatory sense of duty discharged__ Scott. “Length” Li Horse Racing In horse racing the measure of Undermine the Character a “length” is the distane from Fear and gain are great pervert- the tip of the nose to the base of the tail.

Fresh Milk In many countries in which goat’s milk is used extensively, most house-wives are so skeptical of its freshness that the goatherds drive their herds from door to door and milk the animals in the customer’s presence. Women liv ing in apartment houses also insist upon this kind of assurance, even when they are too indolent to go down to the street, so the goat has to scramble up several flights of stairs to be milked in the kitchen. —Collier’s Weekly.
