By Pft- ALVIN E. BELL Timothy wa a native -of Lystsra, whpre Paul was stoned and left for dead on the occasion of his first visit there, at which time Timothy was probably converted. This explains why Paul calls Timothy his “own son in the faith.” Advice to Ministers His two letters to Timothy are the advice of a seasoned veteran to a young recruit in the gospel ministry. The author’s purpose in writing the first epistle is well expressed in the words: “That thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in tbe house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” In immediate connec. tion with this declaration of purpose he declares the message of trutn which iti s the business of the church MARIE BLIZARD— HEAD THIS FIRST: Ob her twenty-fourth birthday Carol Kennedy, coining into a vast fortune, suddenly announces to hei relatives that she is giving up her old home in Connecticut, where she has lived as an orphan, to move to New York to find happiness and freedom. Among those attending Carol s birthday party are her cousin, Kathy Prentice, and her fiance, Dr. Owen Craig, whom she is marrying tor social prestige. Unattractive Carol, who kuows nothing ot parties, pretty clothes and beaux, secretly ad mires Owen. Caroi astounds her old nurse when she tells her of her plan. In New York Carol looks up Isobel Bronson, an old school chum now in the real estate business, to obtain help in finding an apartment. Isobel suggests a cocktail party and eagerly helps Carol purchase proper clothes for the occasion. Carol tastes her first cocktail and meets Gary Cran dall, attractive playboy, who shows an interest in her. He suggests they leave the party. Without disclosing her icealth. Carol enlists Gary's aid in helping to find a job and he also promises to show her hoio she can become a fascinating woman. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORYJ ' CHAPTER 7 CAROL KENNEDY felt that she had stepped Into a world peopled with strange and wonderful things. She who had been so unaware of happiness and gaiety and youth had suddenly come alive. It was as though she had slept I through those years of learning and travel. The sights and sounds qf familiar and strange places alike had sufficed so long as the inner girl had not been touched: What had happened to Carol that suddenly she ' wanted parties and pretty clothes? She had never cared about those things before. Her plainness had never meant anything to her until now. And now a man she had met less than an hour before could stir her to the depths of her being with des perate hope because he said that he knew the way to make her fasci nating. Gary’s face blurred before her vision and when finally she found yyords, she said, “I don’t know what yep mean.’’ “What do you think I mean?" he parried. What could this drab little girl think he meant7 Memories of beautiful women toifched his lips with a smile. No, his interest in Carol wasn’t a romantic one. Carol felt lost. She didn’t know much about men but she had heard of the wolf in sheep’s clothing and why should Gary do anything for her? And besides, how could she ever hope to cope with any sophisti cated situation? It may be a won ferful pew world she had ventured tpto but it was too strange for her. How could she get anywhere in a world where you met a man at five rfclocK and at six he asked you to put yourself In his hands so to ppeak. She’d put on her coat this jninute. Instead she said: “Can you . , • can you really do something for pae?” f **l can, but not if you're going to b© sensitive because I’m going to be loirtytal. I'm going to tell you truths. Let me look at your hands." Obediently she laid her bends in bis." ’ “These will do nicely." he said. HENDERSON, (N. CJ DAILY DISPATCH, SATURDAY.' SEPTEMBER 14,1933 iw 8 ? fy / y i i Timothy’s father was a Greek and never may have become a Christian. But his mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, were Christians. They taught him the scriptures in his childhood and reared him to live a godly lif* dnd its ministry to hold aloft as a light upon a pillar. He calls it “The mystery of godliness,” and thus sum marizes its fundamental points: “God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.’’ The true minister must guard this gospel truth from all false teaching and “old wives’ fables,” and further more adorn it with a godly and pray erful life. He is enjoined to “be an example to them that believe, in word in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity” and to “give heed to reading, to exhortion, to teaching.” Paul’s Last Words The second Epistle to Timothy is undoubtedly the last letter we have from Paul’s pen. It was written from prison shortly before his martyrdom which he was anticipating when he wrote: “I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is some. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.” It was to encourage his son Timothy to like steadfastness in keep ing the faith that he wrote his sec ond letter. As in the first epistle the key thought was the church as the pillar and ground of the truth and the minister’s responsibilitiy for the proclamation of that truth in its “These will do nicely.*® spreading her fingers out and touch ing the nails, “We’ll paint them red.” “Oh. no.” she protested. “Think it’s vulgar?” he questioned. “Yes,” she answered. “I see where I shall have to start further back than I thought, Carol. Let me set you right. You stiffened at the idea of painting your finger nails red. Look here, your hands are Jovely, slim and tapering. They were made to be decorative and no ticed. Bright red at the fingertips will bring out their fragile white ness. . . . Are you beginning to see?” Carol nodded; she was beginning to see. “You have—l think —a good figure but it is difficult to judge with those unshapely clothes you’re wearing." Oh. dear, Carol thought. I figured the sweater and hat would save me and this suit did cost S2OO. “You don’t understand what I mean, do you?" he asked her gently. “I’m afraid I don’t but I’d like to." “Well, let me explain. You have, I presume, a waistline, but looking at you I have no idea where.” A flush rose in her cheek. “Don’t be stuffy, Carol. Look at the whole thing impersonally and you won’t be embarrassed. "Shall I regard you as a big broth er?” she asked timidly. “For goodness’ sake, don’t! You regard me as . . .Well, we’ll talk about that later. “Let's get back to you. You weigh about 110 and you’re tall so that means your figure should be good. Small bones. Good carriage. Nice skin. Dull now but makeup will take care of that.” Carol had an absurd impulse to tell him that her teeth were in good con dition but she kept her silence In utter fascinations at his words. "You'll want clever clothes. Things that cling I Imagine." “Oh," she said eagerly, “I have a purity, so here also in the second epistle the keynote deals \yith the minister’s responsibility in the hand ling of that truth: “.Study to show thyself approved unto God, a work man that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.’’ The peril of the church at Ephesus, of which Timothy was pastor, was false teaching which opened the doros to grant worldliness and utter god lessiless pictured in the words: “Lov ers of self, lovers of money, no lovers of good, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding a form of godliness, but having denied the pow er thereof.” It is a picture of muen that passes before our eyes today as well as in Ephesus nineteen centuries ago. Against this Paul l)eld U P the example of his own teaching and tes. timony, and urged. “Continue thou in the things which thoq hast learned and hast been assured’of knowing of whom thou hast learned them.” It is the dying veteran’s cry to the young recruit, “Carry On!” The equipment which the true min ister will find sufficient for such a ministry is the divinely inspired word of God, of which Paul says, “Every scripture inspired of Gcd is also prof itable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness: that the man ot God may be complete, furnished com pletely unto every good work.” The function of the ministry is to "preach the word, be instant ip sea son, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, wtih all longsuffering and teaching.” With such a ministry the very good dressmaker." “I’m afraid you’re not a walking advertisement of her arts.” “I’m going to buy a new lipstick (she didn’t say her first) tonight and . . ." “Oh. please don't do that, at least not yet. We begin with your hair” —he studied her —“I don’t know whether we should have it cut Off not” Her hand went protectingly to tby heavy knot at the back of her head- He did not notice. “No, I think it should be thinned out, a yard cut off and a soft ar rangement at the back. Yes, that would be queenly-" Queenly. Carol's ears began tc. burn. Fascinating. That such words might ever describe her she never dreamed. “How would you like an aqbprk shade?” Lost in her own thoughts, Carol did not get the meaning of his ques tion at once. Then: “Dye my hair, do you mean!" “My dear, please don’t use such ap unpleasant word. You must learn take a pleasant attitude about aM things and to term them ip their proper words. Suppose we say ’shade’—yes. ’shade’ is the word— your hair to a more becoming hue to give It luster and beauty.” “But I ... I • • •” “No more objections. Tomorrow we’ll have a lark.

As her train sped through Westchester, she tried to sort her memories and make order out of the chaos. She had tried thinking things out the night before, after the cock tail party, and all that followed. In stead she had slept and dreamed. And, strangely enough, her dreams had been filled not with Gary but with Owen Craig. And seeing him now as she had seen him in her dreams, she saw his dark head again. Saw it contrasted with Gary Crandall. Crandall with his sandy hair, his slanting gray eyes and the faintly bemused expression he wore habitually. Gary so perfect ly tailored. Gary with the broad shoulders and tapering hips. The delicacy of his linen. The perfect arrangement of his pocket handker chief. The faint scene of masculine perfume. He was, Carol supposed, a perfect example of the smart man. « Her thoughts flew back to Owen again. To the antiseptic scent that clung to him. She hadn’t seen him often but every line of his dark face, the way his hair grew about his tem ples, she remembered. In her musing, she saw him as be would look at his wedding to the lovely Kathy. How chic Kathy would be as a bride. Carol wondered If Owen would find her attractive if she were the girl Gary had promised to make her. Not that it would make any difference, of course. Carol knew she had no romantic feelings about Owen. Or did she? Rather desperately Carol tore her thoughts away from that. She tried to concentrate on her luncheon date. What would Gary say to her today? For the first time in her life she be came aware of the unattractiveness of her clothes. She wanted to show Gary, and she would! It was only 11 when her train drew Into Grand Central station. She’d have plenty of time to shop. How should she begin ? Isobel. Os course, Isobel would help her. Excitement lent wings to her feet. She turned Into Madison avenue where frocks pud hats she’d never looked at be fore became beautiful In their temp tation. She hurried to Isobel’s office. "Have a good time at the party?” 2sobel greeted her. “WonderfuL However, that’s not why I’m here so bright and early this morning. I want you to take a little while off. Isobel, and help me to buy some clothes.” Carol was waking up at last! “I’m Just the woman you need, darling. But I’m to do the whole job- For once I’d like to outfit you the way Frocks and hats now became beautiful in their temptation. you should be outfitted. I can give you an hour and then I’ll have to dash.” A half hour later, a short distance from Isobel’s office, Carol was writing a check for $750. “It seems an awful lot for one dress and one coat,” Carol said but she didn’t say it remorsefully. “Darling, don’t be stingy with yourself. What’s the use of having a couple of million dollars if you don’t have fun with it,” Isobel an swered. “Isobel,” Carol’s voice was in earnest, “Not many people know I have that money and I’m going to ask you not to ever mention it I have ... I mean ... I’m going to forget I have It You see, I have a plan. Are you on?” “On!" said IsobeL Carol’s attention was on herself 1 once more. Could this slim creature in the mossy black crepe frock that clung to her be herself? Her fingers touched the twin clasps of glittering brilliants that broke the stark sim plicity of its velvety blackness where they held back the high neck. She slipped Into the coat of soft texture and stood motionless while the vendeuse buttoned the cape of silver fox high around her ears. A patch of hat barely covered one side of her head. Still she was not smart. The heavy weight of her drab hair, the dullness of her complexion stared back at her in her beautiful new clothes. She was no Cinderella. Now the shopping was over and she was In a taxi riding back to Isobel’s office. Isobel could contain her curiosity no longer. “Darling, what does the big splurge mean?” “Big splurge?" Carol asked with out interest Isobel tried another line, “What happened at the party after we left?” “Oh,” Carol tried to say it lightly, “Gary Crandall rescued me and took me to the Consular for a cocktail.” How quickly one learns what to say. "Oh!" There was a world of mean ing In that syllable. “Carol," Isobel continued, "Little -Isabel seldom breaks the rule about PAGE THREE church will deserve the title Paul gave her “the pillar and ground of the truth,” or better still, the title Christ gave her, “he light of the world.” C.

For over ten yeats Mr. Bell has been superintendent of the Seaboard dining car department which, under his direction, has become an outstand. ing feature of modern railroad trav el. His formula for the success of this important phase of railroading is to play the part of host to Sea board passengers in the same bounte ous apd courtly manner as that of the old time Southern gentleman of ante bellum days.

She thought Isobel was going to tell her not to see Gary Crandall again. “If you’re close to your cousin, Kathy Prentice, tell her to lay off Gary Crandall.” Carol didn’t know what she meant. “Why, Isobel, my cousin Is engaged to be married to Dr. Craig.” “I know she is,” Isobel answered shortly. “But, my naive child, en gagements and sometimes marriages don’t meant an awful lot to a lady when Gary is in the offing." “But I thought you liked him?” Carol said helplessly. “I do. He's swell. He’s smooth, charming and dangerous.” “But how, Isobel?" “Do you wont me to draw pictures? Or will you understand if I explain that be leaves a trail of broken hearts in back of him. Are you in terested In him that way, Carol?" Carol didn’t answer. She couldn’t find words at that moment Some thing too startling had occurred to her. “You see, darling, It Isn’t what Gary does to the foolish ladies;, It’a a state of mind they get Into and unless the signs are all wrong, Kathy Prentice Is seeing a lot of him” Carol was shocked. After a little pause she said: "Don’t you think Mr. Crandall might have women friends? You know what I mean . . . that he just enjoys their company and . . .’* her voice trailed off weakly. “I do not. Lots of women have tried being friends with him. It Just doesn’t work, my darling.
