Amos Denounces Self-Indulgence
THE WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

(The International Uniform Les
son on the above topic for Aug.
19 is Amos 6:1-7, 11-14, the Gold
en Text being Amos 8:14, “Seek
good, and not evil, that ye may
live”.-
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL
“Hi fares the land, to hastening ills
a prey, where wealth accumulates and
men decay”. This represents the de
cadent condition against which Amos
pronounced his “Woes" upon the
prosperous inhabitants of Samaria
and the northern kingdom of Israel
in the days of Jeroboam 11. It was
the post-war prosperity that followed
their conquest of Moab, Gilead and
Syria. Like some of us they could not
stand prosperity. Instead of its en
riching their national life, it led «,
dsspaton, enervaton and dssoluton.
“At Ease in Zion”
Though Amos was from the soutn
ern kingdom of Judah, he was no
blind patriot who could not see the
gins of his own nation. For his fi v }
lament was over the spiritual indii
ference of hs own people: “Woe to
th°m that are at ease In Zion!” His
own figople had assumed an “I should
worry” attitude toward the threaten
ing ills to which they wore prey fin-’
and against which generation aftei
generation of prophets had warned,
them. They had lost the power of
being appealed to either by love or
fe«r. Beginning thus with the faults
of his own ohme folk Amos passed
on consistently to mete out condem
nation against the. same ills of their
northern neighbors in Samaria and
Israel: “Woe ... to them that are
secure in the mountains of Samaria,
the notable men of the chief of the
nation?. to whom the house of sracl
come 1 ' 1 Amos was not afraid to di
rect his withering : denunciations
against the upper crust, the notables
and chiefs who set the pace and cre
ated The styles for the lower classe
to ape.
TJhe Reril of Luxury
The peril of making appetite the
master instead of the servant in the
house is indicated m Amos’ denun
c.r.tior. of those “that lie upon bens
of ivory.*and stre c’.-* trrmselvcs upor

of the flock, and the calves out of thi
midst of the stall. . . . That drirk
wine in bowls, and anoint themselves
with the chief oils; but they are not
grieved for the affliction of Joseph”.
What unworthy descendents or Joseph
these people were! They gave full
rein to tire lusts of the flesh. Mod
eration, temperance, self control had
no part or place in their lives. Witn
hlmu th- sky was.the limit.
The Peril of Intemperance
But that was the age of the slow
going cx cart. Ours is the age of tnc
high powered automobile. If intern
peranee had its perils then how have
modern conditions multiplied those
perils for our day and generation!
If judgment fell in severity upon a
people for its abuse of God’s gifts
and its prostitution of life to self
indulgence in that dim distant past,
how shall we escape in this day of
Taller light And richer privilege? Have
we not often “turned justice into gall,

Highway Deaths
Fewer For July
Than Last Year
Diijly l>j.K|»:it«‘h Rnrciiii,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,
Raleigh, Aug. 18.—Highway fatali
ties for July compiled by Captain
Charles D. Farmer, of the highway
patrol, rose to 70, or four above the
slaughter, of June, but they were be
low the mark of July, 1393, which re
corded 74 killings in 854 opportunities
to slay.
It took 323 accidents to produce 70
deaths for July, 1934, and 505 persons
who were hurt survived. To kill 66
persons in June, last, 285 accidents
were required. The 74 killings for
July, 1933, were matched by 370 in
jujries. The accidents increase, but
the fatalities fall off. This circum
stances seems to offer some hope. The
cars are much more powerful and run
vastly faster. But while they hit of
tener the killings are more infrequent
It took only 254 accidents in July, 1933
to kill 74 people. And only 370 were
injured.
The pedestrians slain were 22; the
hurt were 35 for July, 1934. Os these
killings seven were children playing
in the streets and 13 juveniles were
injured. Seven of the fatal accidents
were traced to intoxicated motorists
and 38 accidents were without fatal
accidents.

trol hpoes that its presence on the
roads may tend to weed out that crop
of killers.
A number of deaths and accidents
that did not prove fatal, traceable to
liquor, is disappointing. There has
been something of fondness in the re
flection that the killers are drunkards
or heavy drinkers. The reverse seems
to be true. It seems to be safer in
a new car geared to do an insane 100
miles an hour, and drunk to boot,
than to be an innocent traveler going

SILVER SUPPERS&aai
CHAPTER 00
GILES’ HEAD was high as he
Jlung out his fearless challenge. The
light of the fire showed his clear-cut
features, ruffled hair, his brilliant
scornful glance, and, more than all,
that boyish grace of figure. Faintly
Drew was aware of the thing which
had stirred Joan to exaltation . . .
the king is dead , , . a prince
reigns ...
The thought maddened him, “If I
can’t have her. you shan’t.”
“Just what do you mean to do?”
“Make you keep your promise.”
“1 shall keep it. In a few days she
leaves for a long journey. She will
see many people, many men will fall
in love with her. And how can I
know she will come back to me? I
must take my chance. I am taking
It solely because of my promise to
you. Do you think if it were not for
that. I would let her go?”
He spoke the truth and Drew
knew It. Then, without pause. Giles
went on to say things which seemed
incredible. “Look here. Hallam. we
both love her. A.nd perhaps all this
is harder for you than for me—al
though heaven knows 1 find It hard
enough. Perhaps some other man
will win her and you and' I will have
to stand back and see her marry
him. Well. then, let’s not bring into
it the sordidness of a stupid quar- ■
rel. She’s so sweet ... so dear . . .
you know i f ... as I know it . . .”
A long silence, out of which Drew
said, hoarsely, “You’re right, I love
her.”
“Then make her happy.”
“You mean I shall let her marry
you ?”
* “Yes.”
“You are asking a lot."
“I know.”
Drew’s face was as white as chalk.
“I can’t live without her. I don’t
want to live . . He got to his
feet unsteadily, like a drunken man.
“Where’s your telephone?” be de
manded. “I’ll call her up.”
Giles stood staring at him, “Call
her?"
“Yes. Why not? I’ll make a
grand gesture. Give her to you . . ."
His laugh was wild, “Where’s your
telephone?” he repeated, then saw It
en the table and went toward it.
He asked for long distance, gave
Joan’s number, hung up the receiver
and waited, and Giles on the health
rug waited. Presently the bell rang
and Drew answered it “Joan?
This is Drew Hallam . . . I’m with
Giles Armiger on his island . .
\Ve’re staging a great scene of re
nunciation . . . I’m to release him
frpm his prqmise and let the two of
you b* happy ever after. And I’m
to marry Rose .. .! Will you wish
me happiness . . . happiness, Joan?”
(Hies took a step forward. He felt
as if he must stop that tortured voice
from speaking . . . that wild and tor
tured voice . , .1 But it went on.
“So everything is . . . settled. Wed
ding bells for all of us—Nancy mar
ried, you and Giles married, Rose and

swaying.
Giles went up to him and laid a
band on his shoulder, “My dear fel

“I didn’t think.” said small Pris
cilla, wistfully, “that you’d have a
wedding without us."
“It was a very quiet wedding."
•“Were there any bridesmaids?"
“Not a single one . . . and there
wasn’t any wedding cake . . . and
there wasn’t any wedding gown."
“Oh. I shouldn’t think you could
be married without a wedding gown,
Joan.”
“Well. I was. and there was no
one to see me but Farley. And she
nearly cried her eyes out.”
Young John and Priscilla stared
at her. “Wasn’t it a happy wedding.
Joan?”
“Tt was the happiest weddipg in
the whole wide world, but Farley
cried because she was glad.”
“If you didn’t wear a wedding
gown, what did you wear?”
“A little old violet thing that, the
bridegroom liked.”
“Giles?”
“Yes.”
“And now you're going away with
him. J should think you’d rather
stay with us."
“Darling.” Joan’s arms wept round
the small girl with the shining eyes,
"when a woman marries a man she
goes with him everywhere—fi>r bet
ter. for worse.”
“Shall you like it?”
Joan kissed her. but said nothing.
Like it? When her heart was sing
ing!
She was walking with the children
through the pine woods back of the
house on the bluff. There had been
a farewell feast at Penelope’s, and
presently she and Giles would be
leaving for their long journey. She
had chosen to have a few last mo
ments alone with these little lovers
of hers: "My dears.” she said, as
she finally took leave of them, “you
mustn’t forget me. And when I
come back, you must both visit me
on my island. It is a wonderful
Island like something in a book.”
"A fairy book?” the shining child
whispered.
“Yes.” Joan kissed her again, and
stood watching them and waving un
til they were out of sight.
As she turned to go back she saw
Giles coming toward her. When he
reached her. he tucked his arm in
hers. “Let’s walk a bit.” he said. “I
haven’t had a minute alone with you
since this morning."
There was a golden light in the
wood, snow on the groupd. and the
trunks of the trees made black
stripes against a deep blue sky. As
they stood on the edge of the bluff,
i the sea stretched bgfpre them in a
’ sapphire sheet. Yet the horizon line
i was blurred by an onward moving
i line of mist. The air was mild for
' a winter’s day. and as they de
: scended the hill. Joan unfastened the
> fur about her throat- “How warm
. it is.” she said.
Giles carried her fur for her. “It
. gives me a queer feeling,” he said.
. “looking after your belongings. I’ve
l your purse in one pocket, a pair of
1 gloves in another. and this fur is
like a part of you. with its fra

Her breath was quick, “You see

the sun. "How beautiful It Is,** Joan
said.
"Everything is beautiful.” Giles
lifted her hand to his Ups, “but most
of ail the thought of the year? to
gether."
The years together! Herself and
Giles! Joan eould scarcely believe
it true. There had been the night
when she had been waked by the
telephone. She had slept so soundljr
she was not sure the bell had rung.
She sat up In bed and listened. The
room was illumined only by a tinjr
lighted flower of rosy glass which
glowed in the dimness. It was
snowing heavily outside, and tfrt
world seemed wrapped in a spell of
silence. Then the telephone rang
again, and she rose and went to it- !
Drew’s voice came to her. that
wild, ragged voice ... telling her ha
w f as going to make her happy. That
she was to marry Giles . . . that Hi*
was to marry Rose . . . Would sha
wish him happiness? Happiness?
As he talked she had had a shiv
ering sense of fear. What was Drew
doing there with Giles? And why
had not Giles spoken instead of
Drew 7 ?
Even the knowledge that she waa
free to marry her lover had not r*'-
.ieved the horror of the moment, so
that when Drew rang off. she had
stumbled across the rugs to the dpor
which led to her maid’s room, “Ear
ley . .
The older woman came to her at
once, “My lamb?”
“I—” Joan began to sob upcoijv*
trollably . . . found herself tellihjf
Farley all about it. “I don’t under
stand ... 1 am . . . frightened '. 1.”
Farley soothed her. “He has left
you free to marry your own true
love, my darling . . .**
Yet even this assurance had not
brought serenity, and when she re
turned to her room Joan had been
conscious of things happening far
away from the shelter of lier rose
lighted chamber —things desperate
and desolate and despairing.
And even as she thought of it, an
other call had come for her over the
telephone . . . Giles’ voice . . . “Be
loved . . .”
• • •
And now, leaning on her young
husband’s arm she said with ft
sigh. “Poor Drew."
“Why think of him?”
“If only he could be happy.”
“He’ll find a sort of happiness with
Rose." '
“Will he?”
“Yes. They are two of a kind.
They’ll play the game . . . gallantly,
perhaps . . . who knows?”
As they stood looking out to sef
the fog caught them, drifting at first
in thin veils, then thickening, until
st last they w r ere shut away from
all the w 7 orld.
“Dear heart.” Giles whispered, ”w#
belonged to each other from the be
ginning, you know that?”
“Yes.” Oh, how safe she felt , , .
with Giles. His tenderness . . .
They turned presently and mad*
their way upward through the
spectral mists —mists which showed
here and there a gleam of silver, as
if a knight in armor rode amorij;
them, or a king . . .! But Joaii,
unaware of that wistful escort,
walked on, unconscious and serenb-
Life was before her. The future
