April 28 is Deut 6:4.9; Joshua 1:8-9; II Kings 22:8-20; Neh. 8:1-8; Ps. 19:7-14; Luke 24:25-32; Acts 17-10-12; II Tim. 3:14- 17; Hob 1:1-4, especially Ps. 19:7-14 and II Tim. 3:14.17, the Golden Text being Psalm 119:97, “Oh how love I thy law! iti s my mediation all the day.") By DR. ALVIN E. BELL God gave the Bible to be a daily guide for old and young in the home. He wants it to be an armament no; an ornament in the home, a molding featuie and not a moldering fetish. Accordingly, God, through Moses, commanded concerning his words, Thou shalt teach them diligently un to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and wehn thou rise.st up.’’ The Bible, therefore, is not primarily a. book for church or cloister, but for home and family. [ICYPSY GIRL“7®\I THE STORY OF AN IMPASSIONED W CHAPTER 5T DOUGLAS remarked that Consu elo, if she returned to the gypsy camp would be a trouble-maker. Consuelo did not hear Doug. She looked down again at the jewelry and slowly picked up the square cut ruby necklace which had been one of Stewart’s first gifts to her. “I shall take this. It is good per haps to have something—something fine to show —something which might, make them want me to stay.” She fastened on the necklace and gath ered up the rest of the jewels in her £a..ds. “Take them, Dougalas, they sere not for a gypsy.” She poured them into his coat pockets until they overflowed. She raised her arms then and shook the cheap costume bracelets which, with her gaudy cos tume, she still wore from the the ater. “These for a gypsy. Anklets I shall buy again.” Her eyes fell upon a diamond bracelet caught on the .edge of his podket. “Still, It is a shame to give them, all away —” She took the bracelet and put it on her arm, making a little face up at him “Gosh almighty, what am I going to do with all this stuff?” Doug shoved them further down into his two pockets. “Just ripe for the gangsters.” Fib wiped his brow. “I can already see me lying cold and stiff on the sidewalk—” “Oh, Dougalas, don’t, or I shall take them all back.” He sidestepped her. “In any event 1 see myself in the lap of ease and luxury, no longer a Mey for an old lady wit'h a Pe kingese. Any old clothes, lady, rags, bottles, sacks?” •She kicked, a fur coat contempt uously with her foot. “Bah! Give them back to Stew- Art; he likes them so well.” She •pread the shawl the Dummy had fiven her on the floor and heaped Me motley array of gypsy clothing A'pon it. “These I shall take. Who else could wear them but me?” “Like that? No suitcases? No trunks?” “What would I want with a trunk?” she knotted the corners of the shawl together, the gay clothes leaking out With quick, deft move ments she shoved them in and pulled the knots together. She looked wound. i I—— The Bible also has its place in national life. In the days of Josiah the sacred scriptures had been lost, but were found and read to the king. It taught the king how far astray the nation had gone and how much thev needed a reformation. The Bible in National Life In national life no less than in fa mily life the Bible is to have its place of honor and influence. The great na tional reformations headed by such godly kings as Asa. Jehoshophat, Josah, Hezekiah and Josiah, all grew out of the restoration of God’s word to its proper place as the nation’s guide, book for king and subjects alike To those kings who “observed to do all that is written therein” God fulfilled his promise “thou shalt make thy way prosperous and thou shalt have good success.” When godless kings disre garded the scriptures and made the captivity a necessary punishment tor the nation Ezra of Nehemiah led the way back through reformation foster ed by the restoration of the word. In the nineteenth Psalm the psalm ist first picture nature as a book through whose pages Goer gave a re velation of his glory: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork.” Then he turns to the word of God “On the train Uke that?” “Eh? And why not?” She stopped “Oh, Doug—the train —I had forgot ten. Call—quick, find out when one leaves —get me a ticket—anything— quick—l’d forgotten—” A few moments later Doug’s voice reached her from the other room. “The only one tonight leaves in just 40 minutes; can you make it?” and at her answering “Yes,” he returned to the bedroom. “Snap into it now, baby, otherwise you’ll have to wait for the morning train. We go to the Pennsylvania station. You’ll have to go on to Pittsburgh and then take a bus back to Greensburg. Train fare $15.82 without a berth. Change your clothes if you’re going too; If not, get your coat and we’ll be off.” “Call Ito —oh, no, better a cab — Dougalas, you have goj^money?” “Money, you ask nie if I’ve got money? When did I ever have money? Four dollars and 80 cents, baby, is my total capital at the pres ent moment.” “Oh —” She sat down, half sob bing. “But, Dougalas, I must have some —the train—“-the bus-—food —call Stewart —no —I can’t do that. Oh, damnation! What shall I do?” “Listen, baby, all kidding aside, you mean to sit there and tell me you haven’t got any money? No cash? What about your weekly checks from Goldie? Come, come, you must have some.’’ She shrugged her shoulders. "Stewart’s secretary takes them. My fine fellow tells me I must put them safe in a bank. Now, who ever heard of a gypsy putting rtioney in a bank?” She looked -upj'at IMm “But it’s not money—this paper Stuff with words written on it—gold It is I want —silver dbllkrs—i have not seen a dozen pieces in all of this New York. Always It is Stewart signs something. Always it is he says, ‘What do you need money for? Any thing you want I’ll get you— ’ All I have got is a bank book and what good is that now when I have need of a train ticket?” “For once I'm inclined to agree with you!" Doug scratched the back of his head. "Nearly two o’clock In the morning and train time getting closer and closer —gosh! Now, let’s see—there’s Stewart—only he’s out. Who else—where else—l got it, the apartment house maititg r er &owfe~< as an instrument for the still more perfect revelation of God’s glory: “The law of the Lord is perfect, re storing the soul; the testimony of the« Lord, is sure, making wise the sim ple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the com mandment of the Lord is pure en lightening the eyes.” Then the psalm ist passes from God’s revelation in nature and scripture to that of ex perience. And here for the first time is sounded a discordant note, for man alone is out of tune with God: “Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults.” His cry for harmony of experience with the symphony of nature and revelation is voiced thus: “Let the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.” Christ Opens the Winrd To the twod isciples on the road to Emmaus the risen Christ, appeared and matched the facts of his suffering death and resurrection with the prop hets of scripture of Moses and tht: prophets and psalmist until their “hearts burned within them while he talked with them by the way and opened to them the scriptures.” The relation of Old Testament and New Testament has ibeen stated thus: ' The new is in the old concealed; the old is in the new revealed; the new is in th,e old contained; the old is in the new explained; the new is in the old latent, the old is in the new pa tent.” Christ is the key that unlocks all scripture. We must find him in his grace and ourselves in our sin in every part of holy scripture. The Rev. Mr. I. W. Hughes at the Mission of the Resurrection Sundajy afternoon at 3:30 p. m.

You pay your i-ent, don't you?” Again she shrugged her shoulders. “I mean Stewart keeps up a small item like that, doesn’t he?” He glanced at his watch. “We got to snap out of it. Have you got what you’re going to take? Find that bank book and come along. Put a coat on, you can’t go out in the cold like that. Hurry up—” Consuelo grabbed up the fur coeJt she had kicked so contemptuously and put it on. She handed Doug the heavily packed shawl and breathless ly began to search through the de nuded dresser drawers for the bank book. Doug called a cab. “Never mind, baby, never mind— we’il do it some other way. I’ll find it and send it to you. It’s good for cash, kid. go to any bank and they’l tell you how to get it—” He wee leading her out the door. “Listen, how can I get in touch with you?” “Through Mr. Willowby—you know him —oh, you are the good one to help me. Do you think we can catch it?” “It all depends upon how hard the manager sleeps and —is.” He was ringing the elevator button. “Crlpes, what service. Where the heck is that sleepy dumbbell?” He mopped his brow. “Now, baby, don’t get ex cited. I’ll tend to everything--” The elevator doors opened. “Come on. boy, step on it, we’ro in a hurry.” The boy grinned. “Going somewhere, Miss Con suelo?” “Oh, yes, yes—” Doug kicked her. “Oh, just for a—a walk." . ’ “Sure/ miss, have a good tirjao* The boy’s grin broadened. On impulse Consuelo reached into Doug’s pocket and taking ‘out th\ first thing her fingers rented upon handed it tq the boy. “Gosh, miss, for me?” His eyes popped open as they stared at the lovely star sapphire ring. She nodded. He gulped and held it in his hand. “Gosh gosh thanks and—and have a—a good time—" he stam mered. . ■ Doug groaned, muttering, “Maybe yet the old lady and the Peke.” They were : down.

The association asked continuance of the benefit payments and the farm relief program in general, and asked Secretary Wallace to announce im mediately retention of the 12 cents loan on cotton. The convention also requested the agricultural secretary! to begin an Jtti media,te study of the wisdom of fu ture cotton crops being divided into two lots, one for home consumption, with a guaranteed price, 'and another for exports lunder othe* plans. This was suggested with a view to ward working out a permanent policy for the American cotton crop.
