SYNOPSIS
Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, ar­
rives home in Corinth from school and is met
by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to
the Marsh home where her widowed mother,
Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and
understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezia’s sis­
ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the
care of three children, is at lunch with them.
Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous
engagement. On the way back to his job at
the steel plant founded by one of his fore­
bears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller, a boyhood
friend whom he no longer sees frequently be­
cause of Dorrie's antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh
wakens the next morning from a dream about
her late husband. Jim, whose unstable char­
acter she fears Kezia has inherited.
Soon
Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artis­
tically inclined girl who is a distant niece of
Fluvanna's and a favorite of Hugh’s. She hap­
pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged
to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father
and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not ap­
prove the match. Hugh and Dorrie go out to
the Freeland Farms to dance with their
friends. Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who
has been out of work, announces that he has
landed a new position. They see Ellen Pendle­
ton and Jerry Purdue.
CHAPTER II—Continued
“Art?" said Cun. "I see. Cuckoo
—but beautiful.”
Dorrie moved in her chair slight-
ly.
“Dance?” asked Cun, his eyes
on Dorrie.
They went off together.
Hugh stood up. “Joan?”
As they swung into step he said,
“Well, Jonny, the troubles are all
over. I’m ever so glad that Cun
has work. You’ve been a brick,
but I could see it was hard on you.”
Joan gave a smothered exclama­
tion and did not reply. He looked
down. Joan’s eyes were filled with
tears.
“What did I say? . . . Hurt
you? . . . Awfully sorry.” He
was dismayed.
“Come on; we’ll
go outside.” He led her through
the screened door to the long
veranda.
They sat in a swing. "Overlook
it, Hugh. Nerves, I think.” She
dabbed her eyes with his handker­
chief. “And relief from the strain.
A man has to work to fill up his
time . . . Cun has to be busy
more than most men—he’s built
that way. Then you spoke to me
so sweetly and sympathetically and
I went to pieces.”
Hugh sat beside her feeling
touched and bewildered. It was
plain she had some worry on her
mind about Cun.
Presently Joan rose, saying:
“Steer me around through the hall
to the dressing-room and I’ll wash
up ... I must be all streaky.
Hugh, I'm sorry I pulled this scene
for you. You don’t know how
abased I feel.”
“Forget it. Glad you did, if you
want to know. We skim the sur­
face of conventionalities too much
with our friends. We’d be more
understanding if we knew what
was in the other person’s heart."
“Most hearts don’t bear show­
ing.”
“I can't believe that.”
“I suppose we think it good man­
ners,” said Joan dubiously. “And
to live on the surface of things isn’t
a bad way . . . take what comes
today and not worry about tomor­
row; forget you have a heart! I’m
trying to achieve it. I never quite
make it . . . still I try very hard.”
He left her at the dressing-room
door and went back to their table.
Dorrie and Cun were nowhere
about, and Ellen and Jerry had
disappeared. He saw his sister,
Kezia, dancing with Arthur Wil­
liams. He left the sandwiches un­
touched but opened a bottle of
beer, and sat sippin*! it.
Dorrie and Cun approached; she
was animated, laughing. “Where
did you and Joan disappear? We
tried to find you but you had hid­
den yourselves in some secluded
corner. Of course you weren’t
parked in the automobile? . . .
Or were you, Hugh?”
Joan came up just then, her face
freshly powdered and bearing no
trace of emotion. “We were moon­
ing on the veranda,” she said gay-
iy.
Cun drew out her chair. “I’ll
have to look into this,” he threat­
ened.
“Is there a moon? It seemed
terribly dark to me!" Dorrie
teased.
“Explain your absence!” said
Hugh with a smile.
“Never explain!” answered Dor­
rie lightly. “Explanations lead to
nothing and nowhere! Hugh, you
haven’t danced with me.”
At home and in their own room.
Hugh sighed with contented fatigue
as he untied his tie.
Dorrie slipped off her dress and
sat down on the bench before the
dressing-table to cold cream her
nails. "Lovely evening, wasn't it,
darling?”
“Enjoy it?”
“Very much.”
“I did myself after we got start­
ed.
Naturally they wanted to
celebrate after such good news.
It has been a tough winter and
spring for them Especially Joan.”
Dorrie frowned a little as she
bent her head lower. "Why espe­
cially Joan?”
“1 think she felt it more. Fact
is, she cried tonight
. . that was
the reason we left the floor. I
said something about the new job,
and she broke down—hysterical re­
lief, I think. Wept all over the
place when I got her outside.”
Dorrie's lip curled. “‘Silly.’
S
“I thought it was rather natural.
She’s kept up a good front all
along.” He looked at her, trou­
bled; he had expected more sym­
pathy for Joan’s predicament. “Re­
verse the case, Dorrie. Suppose
I had been out of work for almost
a year. Wouldn’t you be a bit
teary with joy when I did land
something?"
"No—I’d have confidence enough
in you to be sure you’d get some­
thing splendid in place of the old
one. Cun is a simply marvelous
salesman. Everyone says so. He
was sure to be placed in a little
while. The future with the Cres­
cent company is much better than
his old place at the Arrow Steel.”
“But even so-- ” He hesitated.
“I gathered something else was
bothering her. She seemed to feel
that Cun might get into difficulties,
not working.”
“Oh!” Dorrie's eyes flew open,
startled. "How odd.”
“Perhaps.”
“No, she didn’t say what she
was afraid of. Drinking—gam­
bling. Cun’s a popular fellow.”
He started for the closet and said
from its depths, "She gave me

"And I suppose when she wept,

He laughed a little. “Yes; lent

The American people are alert to
the forces which threaten the bul­
warks of national life, and are
ready to take intelligent and ef­
fective action against them when
fully aroused to the danger. The
powers of evil know this to be
true and are careful to avoid any­
thing that directs our attention to
what is constantly going on under
cover. The liquor question is one
of our nation’s most serious prob­
lems. The devastating results of
the widespread sale and use of in­
toxicants will only be known as
Christian men and women unmask
this wicked business which poses
under the banner of congenial and
pleasant living, and proudly points
to its recognition by the govern­
ment as a legal enterprise.
The facts are available through
various temperance organizations
and in such books as “Alcohol and
Man," by Dr. Emerson of Colum-
bia university. The Sunday School
lessons for 1937 present four oppor­
tunities to bring the matter square­
ly before the adults and children
who are in our Bible Schools. We
have already (Jan. 31) considered
the economic problem, and will
later deal with intemperance as a
social and moral evil. The lesson
for today affords a special oppor­
tunity to touch on the scientific
side, presenting intoxicants in their
true light as a poison. Look up
the word “intoxicate” in a good
dictionary and you at once have a
picture of what beer, wine, and
whiskey do to the human body.
The Christian approach to any
consideration of the matter is by
recognizing that man is a spiritual
being, dwelling in a physical body.
I. We Live in a World of Moral
Responsibility (Gen. 13:13; 19:23-25).
Life is not a careless drifting
from day to day, from pleasure to
pleasure, into sin or not as one
may choose, with no responsibility
for one’s actions. Man was created
in the likeness and image of God.
He possesses the power of choice.
He knows right from wrong. If
he chooses to do right he has all
the resources of the omnipotent
God to call upon as his strength and
stay. But if he chooses to turn his
back upon God and upon Christ, and
to go into the ways of sin, let
him be sure that there is a day of
judgment to come from which he
shall in no wise escape. The de­
struction of the wicked cities of the
plain, terrible as it was in itself,
is but a prophecy of judgment to
come. See Luke 10:10-12.
II. Men Go Two Different Ways
(Deut. 32:31-33).
Moses contrasts the Rock in
which his people trusted, and the
corrupt standards of their heathen
neighbors by which they were
tempted. One greater than Moses
spoke of the two ways (read Matt.
7:13, 14), and pointed out the sad
fact that there are many that go
down the broad way to destruction,
and few who walk in the narrow
way of life. Let us seek to win
our young men and women away
from the sinful ways of this world.
III. The Liquor Way Is the Wrong
Way (Prov. 23:29-32).
Skillful indeed are the advertis­
ing devices of the liquor interests!
They associate their intoxicants
(poisons) with holiday festivities,
happy family gatherings, social
preferment, and so on. They do not
picture the bleary eye, the babbling
tongue,
the
"wounds
without
cause.” They carefully overlook
the broken-hearted mother, the rag­
ged children, the empty cupboard,
and the devastated home life. They
say nothing of the men who have
lost their characters and their jobs,
and of the women who have lowered
themselves beyond description be­
cause of their love for liquor. Let
us in tenderness and heart-broken
humility present to our Sunday
School classes that picture, which
is a disgrace to our nation. The
wine may look red, and it may
even go “smoothly down the throat”
(a possible translation of the words
“when it moveth aright," v. 31),
but it still has the bite of a serpent
and the sting of an adder (v. 32).
Aims and Duties
What are the aims which are at
the same time duties?—they are the
perfecting of ourselves, and the
happiness of others.

You’re So Gullible
Ellen and Jerry lingered late at
their dinner at the Freeland
Farms. The dancing began at nine
o'clock and the orchestra, a pian­
ist, a saxophone player and a
drummer, were just taking their
places at the far end of the hall.
“They wanted to know whom I
was going out to dinner with again.
When I said you, they looked at
each other—you know parents—and
said that I seemed to be going out
with you a great deal lately . . .
so then I told them.”
Jerry picked at his salad idly,
then laid his fork down. His hair
was dark brown, almost black,
straight, and lay back, sleek and
glistening on his head with the
help of a pomade.
His com­
plexion was a smooth olive and
went well with his eyes, the color
of black coffee. When he smiled
his eyes had sparkling depths, and
his lips a combination of sensitive­
ness and sensuousness.
“And what did they say?”
For an instant Ellen looked
troubled, remembering. Then, the
dimples played over her face as
pride in Jerry reassured her.
“They want to see you—talk to
you. When they do that, it will be
all right."
“Sure?" Jerry was not smiling
now. There was a hint of brood-
ing in his eyes.
“I'm certain of it. I told them
I’d bring you in after dinner."
Jerry gave a faint groan and
looked at his plate.
“Frightened?”
“I feel as if I were to be shot
at sunrise.”
•"Silly! . . . My parents have
never committed a murder so
far!”
“Yes, but it sounds ominous. I’m
to be brought in—tried—executed!
Couldn’t we put it off until tomor­
row night?”
When she did not answer, he
went on: "Look your last on me
as a whole man! I have a feeling
I’ll resemble a sieve in an hour or
so—ahot full of holes. I’ve met
your father several times but he
doesn't speak to me on the street,
and your mother has never been—
friendly! What will they say when
they know I have the audacity to
want to marry you?”

Present Helpers
Give the help you are able to
give now rather than wait for the
greater gift you hope to bestow by
and by. If the poor widow had
waited to cast more into the
treasury when her fortunes im­
proved, she never would have
won that commendation of the
Master which has come down
through the centuries.
There may be far greater need
for that help you can give now
than there will be for your great­
