the georgetown herald fyedneday april 3rd 1946 a new word by meredith scholl associated nawipnpvra wnu features a propos of nothing except the fact that two young friends of i his had just patched up a minor lov era quarrel al cooper told me this story the other day about alec blake and elinor chase they met al began at a summer resort out in the middle west alec had been out of college two years and was working for the telephone company doing pretty well at it elinor came from peoria and was staying at one of the resort hotels with iher mother she worked as a stenographer in a lawyer s office and this was her annual vacation shedidn t have much of an ances tral background arid she hadn t had the benefit of a college education but even though alec had known it wouldn t have influenced him for ancestral background and college education don t affect a girl s beauty or her sweel disposition alec met her one day when he came up to her hotel to talk with the manager about installing a new phone serv ice she was standing near the desk and the manager introduced them alee went back to the office that morning and told bis boss that if he the boss didnt care he d like to take the first week ef hi annua fortnight vacation then the bota said tharwai o k and alec stepped into a phone booth called elinor chase and asked her how a like to go swimming they spent the rest of the day in the hotel pool and that night alec took elinor and her mother to din net later on he invited the girl to accompany him to a dance alec s friends were all collect folks and congenial they liked eli nor immediately and adopted her juting the remainder of the week she was with them nightly don was a member of alec s crowd he had d an unusu al amount of interest in elinor after the first meeting he did his best to j omote himself in her eyes and d dn t lose hope even when elinor indicated plainly her preference for alec it would seem on the face ofjt that elinor s attitude m the matter should have convinced alec that he was the shining star in the scope of the young lady s vision but when a man is in love and when he knows another man is interested in the girl of his choice he is apt to exer else ms imagination logic informed him that elinor didn t care two hoots in purgatory for donald moore yet don was so persistent with his at tftflmr that alecs mind would have been set more at ease if elinor told the rival that he was through alec schemed to bring this about he waited until the last day of his vacation the crowd with whom he and elinor had been associating all week had planned a picnic at a near jby lake and ajec saw to it that don aid moore had an opportunity to be alone with elinor on several occa ions he wanted don to ask her to go out with him that night wanted to give elinor a chance to refuse even though he alec had expressed no desire to be with her later as suming che attitude of one who took it for granted that they were to be together hed ask her himself surreptitiously watching the pair throughout the afternoon alec felt pretty sure that donald had pre ior rortjon sented a proposl the evening he had planned to ask elinor on that last night to drive with him alone in the country and so when at last they were on their way back to the hotel alec who with elinor and four others were occupying a sedan turned to her dnd said are you going to be avail able tonight my dear for a moment elinor hesitated glancing toward the front seat where sat donald moore then she ismiled and shook her head no alec she said i m not alec knew instantly that those vague doubts which were provoked by don moore s interest in elinor hadn t been real at all up until this very moment he hadn t suspect ed even remotely but what the girl loved him quite as much as he loved her and that no one else mattered alec s lips set rather grimly and be turned away throughout the remainder of the drive he tried to be gay and light hearted but he couldnt and elmor seemed to sense how he felt there was a strange look in her own eyes a sort of pitying 1 the drive ended alee walked up to the hotel door with elinor said foodby briefly and without looking at her turned away it seemed in that moment that he was leaving behind everything in life worth hav tag and living for al cooper paused in the telling of bis tale and chuckled heartily i looked at him frowning so that coded it eh alec never did get over the fact al ceased his chuckling he didnt have to vhe said for later on that night elinor called alec on fhepbone and asked him over you pea sifter ettnof got back

lesson lb9bon mark 10 13 14 zjuke 6 18- 16 8 13 16 12 john 3 12 our series or lessons on a nation in the mavb is ended we turn now to tiie hew testament to a new series whtah will run for tine next three months the general subject title is jesus and his friends this can be a very profitable series if teachers and pupils will strive to moke it so it la more than likely that there will be du ferenoes of opinion but let us re member that a vital friendship with jesus is the important thing hpt our little differences it is jesus christ himself ho is our 2xrd and saviour not our interpretations and opinions or him the series begins with five passages from the gospeleach one of which suggests something about the nature of friendship with jesus each one re veals jesus as being a friend and e friend of all classes of people the first passage shows jesus as e friend of children a friend who it good for them mothers were eager to have his friendship for their child ren and mothers do not as a rule en trust their children to one who is t suanger or to one who is evil and bad for them the attitude of the dlscfcp pies is typically adult and male man with a great work like jesus u perform must surely have more lmpor tant matters to attend to than making friends with jesus they thought but jesus saw that the children are the men and women of tomorrow and that the world of tomorrow depends upon how their lives are moulded and under what influences friendship with jesus is important for our children to day the second passage records the calling of jesus disciples i tsioujd like to suggest that verse 12 of luke 6 be ad ded to this passage lit reads and it came to pass in those days that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to god vense 13 carries on from there and tkhen it was day he called unto him him disciples jesus made no haphazard choice of disciples he spent a whole night in prayer about presumably they were chosen from among men he knew intimately and he reviewed their names and characters carefully in the presence of god for they were being chosen for a very spe clal task they were none of them in the popular sense of the word but the church has called them saints because of their devotion to the masters cause one was a despi sed and hated taxcollector another betrayed him another denied him and all of them misunderstood him and de serted him but they were chosen for their possibilities and most of them finally proved worthy of their calling this passage suggests that friendship with jesus does not depend upon goodness m the moral sense but upon the cautae of jesus christ it sug gests also that friendship with jesus involves not zavourkiam but heavy responstbulty and great tasks for the interests of ooda kingdom it does not meah an knputed respectability from sitting to church twice a sunday jt is not something merited but some thing graciously given three women are mentio in the third passage they suggest different types of people mary magdalene aug gests the type that is low friendship with jesus raised her from degradation and moral and mental confusion jo anna was a woman of high social pool she also tmu impressed wltfa- jesus and he had probably saved her from snobbery susanna and the ma ny others mentioned were obviously women of some means who were de voted to jesus cause and helped him and his disciples by sharing their po ssessions the fourth passage deals with the irreligious publicans and sinners and by far the great majority of the people belonged and belong in this class the friends of publicans and sinners the religious snob called je sub as he sniffed a haughty sniff with a haughty snout it was to these folk that jesus taught the idea that they were as much loved by god as those who posed as righteous some of his best parables such as the lost sheep che lost coin and the prodigal son were used in teaching this class the idea that god yearned over them and was willing to forgive and help ev ery one of these parables teaches that there is help and hope in christ for the common man perhaps more hope than for the righteous the fifth and final passage shows that jesus numbered some pharasees among his friends in spite of his bitter denunciation of them as a class nlc- odemus was a pharasee a ruler of the jews probably a member of the jewish council the sanhedrln ob vtously he was a man with an open mind seeking for truth and earnest in his search although somewhat afraid of being seen openly with jesus for tie came by night although a mas ter of israel a teacher he was dis satisfied with mere outward obser vance of moral law and ritual yet like a good many of us he was unable at first to think of spiritual rebirth as anything else than pure magic how ever he became a fast friend of jesus for he was one who assisted joseph of jaritnathaea to take the body of jesus from the cross and lay it in the tomb some of jesus friends
