SYNOPSIS
Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twent 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. Kezias 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.
Ellen
Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically
inclined girl who is a distant niece of Flu
vanna’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
a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance to
gether and then disappear for a while. Danc
ing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in
tears. Apparently she has some secret worry
over her husband, Cun. When Ellen and Jerry
speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par
ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym
pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat
ter is left pending. Unexpectedly Hugh has to
visit a neighboring city on business. Return
ing home to ask Dorrie to accompany him he
finds her telephoning. In confusion she quick
ly hangs up without saying good-by. After
hesitating about Hugh’s invitation, she finally
agrees to accompany him. They spend a de
lightful day and Hugh is happy. At a family
party, Kezia encounters Jerry. Ellen is dis
turbed when Jerry is absorbed by Kezia.
Kezia goes out of her way to charm Jerry.

also liked cards. Late for dinner,
late for engagements; a card
had detained him.
The memories became a n

in flashes, scenes impervious to
the assault of time. Friends, par
ties, the birth of Hugh, financial
pressure, disagreements and the
sweet toll of reconciliation. Jim,
gay, hopeful, magnetic; Jim, mo

the picture with that positive driv

sidered, but a power, nevertheless.
She thought sadly that it was hu
man nature to love those persons
best who had a streak of per
versity in their make-up. Or per
haps one is only more aware of
that love—they test it so.
Several times he had been forced
to borrow from her father to meet
various demands, but was never
able to repay the loans.
After the death of her mother
and his losses in the stock market,
Jim’s habit of drinking increased.
He did not use soft words when he
drank. Some inner demon spoke in
cruel, vindictive phrases. When
she saw him after one of those
nights when he had come in with
stumbling, uncertain steps, his
handsome face puffy, his hand
trembling so he could scarcely hold
the coffee cup, she was amazed at
the conflict of love and hate which
struggled in her. He reminded her
of bleary old Tom Gaveney who
took away the rubbish . . . But it
was really Jim, her husband, to
whom she was bound for life. Their
three children, Margery, Hugh and
Kezia were at school and might
come home any time. No one
must know—no one at all. Draw
the blinds. Send the maid to the
laundry. Telephone the office that
he wasn’t well. Head up; smile at
friends and strangers. The banner
of pride must float bravely while
the craft is sinking.
And then that day.
The freshly ironed shirts and
children’s garments lay on the bed.
Put this pile in Hugh's room; sew
the lace on Margery’s dress; socks
of varying sizes, colors must be
sorted, mended; a stitch Gere, a
button there . . .
She had never been able to put
away freshly - laundered clothes
since without a leaden feeling, for
suddenly she looked up and saw
Jim.
He was standing by the chiffon
ier, one elbow on it, watching her.
“Jim? You home? Have, you
had your lunch?”
He did not answer at once. His
gaze was somber but not unkind.
He sat down in a chair and mo
tioned for her to take one.
A foreboding gripped her. She
watched his hands, lean, restless,
clutching the arm of the chair un
til they were white at the knuck
les. An odd ring on his little finger
—a ring which he had inherited
from his father—was raised into
prominence.
“I’m in a bad way, Fluvanna.”
“Sick?”
He shook his head.
Her glance hardened. “Money
again? I—Jim, you know---- ”
“Yes, I know what you’re going
to say. You’ve done a lot. Helped
me out a dozen times. But this
time—this time”—he struck the
arm of the chair with his fist—
“you must! Must, I say!”
She rose without a word, went
over to the bed, gathered up some
of the garments and put them in
a drawer. She wouldn’t . . . she
wouldn’t. Draining away every
thing she had. She had been too
easy. She had to think of her
children, their education, future-----
“I must have $15,000.”
"Fifteen thousand dollars!” The
sum startled her. For what? . . .
“I haven’t it. You know I haven’t.”
His eyes swept the room, came
back to her. “Sell something Put
a mortgage on the house.”
“I won’t. Nothing can make me.”
“Won’t, eh?” His lips curled in
a hateful smile. “You’d rather see
your husband go to the peniten
tiary, I suppose.”
The penitentiary? His words re-
sounded like the echo of waves, and
the blood seemed to slip quietly
away from her body, leaving only
flesh and nerves. The penitentiary!
“I don’t believe you,” she said
faintly.
He did not reply. Then scarcely
knowing what she was doing, she
went into the adjoining room where
Kezia slept. Kezia had left a leg
less doll on the floor. Mechanically
she picked it up and put it into the
closet.
Then Jim was in the doorway. He
was holding a revolver idly in his
hand. Horror froze in her. Was he
going to kill himself—before her?
. , . But he pointed it at her.
“Jim, you wouldn’t. Don't—try
to be funny,” she gasped.
"I must have it before four
o’clock.”
She smelled the odor of whiskey.
“Stop waving that revolver around!
You know it’s loaded.”
“So it is.”
She backed away from him, out
into the hall. She wanted to call
him a coward and a bully, but she
was too terrified. There was some
thing brooding and insane in his
look.
“You say you won't?”
"I can't. How can you threaten
me this way? What if the children
should see you?”
“You could borrow it on your
steel stock.”

45.
27:41-
•
GOLDEN TEXT—And every men that
striveth for the mastery is temperate in all
things. I Corinthians 9:25.
PRIMARY TOPIC— Twin Brothers.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Twin Brothers Trading.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
Winning by Self-Control.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
Conquering Appetite and Greed.
One of the difficult and at the
same time challenging things about
teaching the Word of God is that its
divine precepts are diametrically
opposed to the current philosophy
of men. In our lesson of last
week we saw that meekness and for
bearance are strong and commend
able qualities in a world which mag-
nifies brute force. Today we are
to study a portion of Scripture
which shows the folly of living for
the flesh, and we are living in a
world where the flesh and its appe-
tities are given full sway.
Professors in many colleges are
openly advocating the free exercise
of every fleshly appetite as a nor
mal expression of life. Morality is
cast off; the flesh rules. Many of
the nations of the earth look upon
boys and girls as merely so many
physical units useful in a future
war. Motherhood has been degrad
ed into an animal-like function, sole
ly for the breeding of more man
power. One nation recently advo-
cated as great an increase as pos
sible in the birth of illegitimate
children to be cared for by the
state as a measure of national se
curity. One shudders to mention
such unspeakable wickedness, but
even so we have only touched the
surface.
Is it true that man is but a beast?
Is there no spirit in man capable
of fellowship with God? Has the
moral law of God been abrogated?
The story of Esau and Jacob is most
pointed and instructive in its an
swer to such questions. Two New
Testament quotations have been
chosen to express the truth of an
Old Testament lesson; namely,
Galatians 5:17, and 6:7.
I. “The Flesh Lusteth Against the
Spirit” (Gen. 25:27-34).
Esau is a type of the man of
the flesh. He was “a cunning hunt
er, a man of the field.” Evidently
he was an athletic, outdoor man of
attractive’ personality, of free and
easy-going spirit. He was a hail-
fellow-well-met. Had he lived in our
day he would have been featured in
the rotogravure, would probably
have been in the movies, would pos
sibly have been a great athlete, and
the good-looking boy who set hearts
a-flutter at the country club dance.
He came from the hunt, and he
had found nothing. He was hungry.
What a type this is of the folly of
seeking satisfaction in the world. It
never satisfies. For all its glitter
and glamour, it is empty and shal
low. He had a birthright—a val
uable possession in any care, but
doubly so as a son of Abraham. But
he was hungry, he would simply
die if he did not eat. His brother
Jacob, inspired by his scheming
mother who was not willing to abide
God’s time for the fulfillment of his
promise, had the savory pottage
ready to tempt him and he sold
his birthright for a “gulp of that red
stuff,” for so might v. 30 be trans
lated.
One is reminded of a clergyman
who attended the Keswick Confer
ence in England. He sent a request
for prayer to the platform and
asked this question: “I have a habit
which is dishonoring to Christ. If
I give it up I will die. What shall
I do?” The wise and complete an
swer was one word—“Die.” Rather
should we lose our body and its de
sires than to lose our soul.
II. “Whatsoever a Man Soweth
That Shall He Also Reap” (Gen.
27:41-45).
Jacob and his mother found that
one lie called for another, and ul
timately their deceit led (as deceit
always does) to the place of reck
oning. The law of sowing and reap
ing is inexorable. Jacob fled from
his angry brother. Rebekah thought
it would be for “a few days” (v. 44),
but it proved to be twenty years,
and she never saw her favorite son
again.
Let us make no mistante about it.
Our sins will always find us out.
Even God’s people must learn to
walk uprightly before Him if they
are to walk in peace.
‘JHY Mollie R” are
