m THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C„ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1938 — Margaret Sulla van ! STAR ! | DUST | ★ JMovie • Radio * ★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★ J AMES CAGNEY has patched up his quarrel with Warner Brothers and Margaret Sulla- van has made peace with the Universal company, which is good news to all the admirers who have missed them. Cagney will be rewarded with the very best story Warners own, the great New York stage hit “Boy Meets Girl.” It is a rollicking story about two loony Hollywood scenario writers, and if all of Cag ney’s requests are granted, he will have Pat O’Brien playing his partner in foolish antics. Miss Sullavan will play in “The Road to Reno.” That leaves Jean Arthur the only major at traction who is still feuding with her company, Columbia, and staying off the screen in revolt. However, Ann Sothern has parted company with R K O and Barbara Stanwyck is suspended from the pay roll because they refused to play in a picture called “Distant Fields.” Felix Knight, who sang recently on the Metropolitan auditions, is be ing hailed as the greatest discovery of the year, but Hollywood claims that they discovered him some two years ago. He sang the juvenile lead in “Babes in Toyland,” the Hal Roach film, and has sung in opera in the Hollywood Bowl. Mo tion picture fans will be interested to know that this thrilling young ten or was recently married to the daughter of Alice Joyce. “It’s All Yours,” the new Colum bia film starring Madeleine Carroll and Francis Lederer, turns out to be all Mischa Auer’s. Beauty and romantic interest just cannot com pete with the utter nonsense that this tragic-faced Russian puts over so hilariously. Off screen Mischa Auer is entertaining too, but what most impresses one on meeting him is his deep gratitude to the United States of which he is now a natural ized citizen. —^— V Any one of a dozen voices that you hear on “Grand Central,” “The Goldbergs” or “True Story” or innumerable other radio hours is apt to be a youth named Lawson Zerbe who comes from the Univer sity of California. He is known af fectionately as radio’s one - man stock company. Recently when he was scheduled to play six roles on one dramatic hour, he was delayed at another studio and when he final ly arrived just in the nick of time, the frantic director had sent out for six well - known actors to replace him. John Barrymore had great fun on his vacation in New York. Know ing that he was going to portray an elderly and somewhat acid society reporter in his next Paramount pic ture, “Cafe Society,” he did the fashionable night clubs and watched the jewelled set at play. —V— Joe Penner is the radio favorite of 22,416 boys and girls between the ages of six and six teen.

Leslie Hore-Belisha, British minister for war, peeps down the muzzle of a large-caliber gun during his visit to the Woolwich arsenal recently when he inspected guns and other fighting equipment which England is rushing to completion in its rearmament program. The program costing many billions of dollars includes the strengthening of all branches of Britain’s arms—navy, army and air forces. It includes also the training of civilian population to protect itself against attacks. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for February 6 CHALLENGING THE SOCIAL ORDER LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:13-22. GOLDEN TEXT—I came not to call the righteous, but sinners—Mark 2:17. PRIMARY TOPIC—When Jesus Had Din ner With Matthew. JUNIOR TOPIC—When Jesus Passed By. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Helping by Being Friendly. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Crusading for a Christian Society. “Crusading for a Christian Socie ty,” is,one of the topics assigned for consideration today. Everyone who is right thinking would be glad if the social order of which we are all a part might be made Christian, for it is far from it now. But fore doomed to failure are the attempts to Christianize society by some great program of “social regenera tion." God’s way is to save the in dividual who makes up the social order. When a man is right with God he will be right with his fel low man. The Scripture lesson for today is full of outstanding spiritual princi ples of the greatest practical im port to both Christians and the un converted. It should be studied by the guidance of the Holy Spirit and taught in his power. I. One Sinner Becomes a Servant (vv. 13, 14). Capernaum was so situated that it provided an excellent location for the collection of the Roman taxes which the Jews so hated. There at the "receipt of custom” sat a Jew named Levi, who was no doubt despised by his neighbors because he had joined in this distasteful business. To him came the gra cious Lord with the invitation, “Fol low me.” How different would be the history of the cause of Christ on earth if every other man who thus was called had done likewise. To follow the Master means sacri fice and breaking with the old life, but it also means peace and glory. II. Many Sinners Meet the Lord <v. 15). Levi, who now becomes Matthew, showed his love for the Lord by de siring that his friends might also meet him. So he prepared a din ner for them in his own house, to which he also invited Jesus. It is always dangerous for a Christian to maintain social con tact with his former companions in sin, if he does so fqr his own en joyment or advantage. But to be their friends that one may win them to Christ, that is most desirable. III. Some Righteous Folk Miss the Lord (w. 16, 17). Sin is an unspeakably horrible thing that separates men from God, but it is not an insuperable bar rier, for the moment a man con fesses his sin and calls on the Saviour he is saved. But self- righteousness—that is the impassa ble barrier. God can do nothing for the man who rests his hope of sal vation on his own good character, high morality, and respectable po sition in society. IV. Fasting and Feasting—When and Why (w. 18-20). God established one fast day for Israel. They established many, es pecially the Pharisees. Religion that loses its spiritual life and pow er clings with tenacity to outward observances and symbols. Should one never fast? Yes, to the true follower of Jesus there come times when the urgency of soul concerning the problems of one’s own life, the lives of others, the needs of the world, shuts the door of interest to anything as ordinary as food for the body. Feasting and rejoicing—are these spiritual and uplifting? Christianity is a joyful faith. It is not to be hidden in damp, dark cloisters; it thrives in the sunshine, in the happy laughter of a child, in the cheerful shout of the saint. The Church is the Bride of Christ. If the friends of the bridegroom were to rejoice (v. 19), should not the Bride shout for joy? , V. New Things versus Old Things (w. 21, 22). The Pharisees wanted the gospel of grace to conform to the narrow channels of their interpretation of the law. Was not the law good? Yes. Jesus said he came not to de stroy it, but to fulfill it (Matt. 5:17), He bore the curse of the law that we might be free (Gal. 3:13, 14). But he also brought in the new covenant of assurance and grace. The mixing of grace and law, or the effort to do so, has continued even to our day. Let us be clear on that point—we are saved by grace, not by the works of the law (Eph. 2:8, 9). We work because we are saved, not in order to be saved. Prayer If the eye is fixed on God, thought may roam where it will without ir reverence, for every thought is then converted into a prayer. Need Exercising The only way to restore a weak ened will is by exercising itself in details of duty. Constant Joy “Rejoice evermore,” says the apostle; let your joy be constant and durable CALL RECRUITS IN SYPHILIS WAR Call for “recruits” in the “War Against Syphilis” by Gen. John J. Pershing and Dr. Ray Lyman Wil bur will be heard throughout the country. General Pershing is chair- Gen. John J. Pershing. man and Doctor Wilbur ir vice chairman of the National Anti- Syphilis Committee of the American Social Hygiene association. “Aided by state and city committees in many sectors, we expect to enlist Ray Lyman Wilbur. broader interest in the fight on syphilis and the conditions which favor its spread with a war fund of $500,000 contributed by volun teers,” says Doctor Wilbur, who is also president of the association. Several Colleges Join War to Check Syphilis Stimulated by the national cam paign to control venereal disease, a few colleges and universities are making syphilis tests a part of the routine examinations required of in coming students. Judging from a survey made by the Chicago Trib une, serological diagnosis for syph ilis is not a common regulation among student health services, how ever. Instruction on the sexual and so cial hazards of the disease is far more common. Many universities, in fact, require their freshman men and women to take courses in health or hygiene revealing the character of the disease. Others confine this instruction to medical and socio logical courses beyond the reach of most students. University presidents, deans, and health directors questioned were unanimous in declaring that syph ilis does not constitute a major health problem on American cam puses. Most of them agreed that students found to have syphilis and gonor rhea should be kept in school where they could have adequate treat ment. Prep school leaders, dealing with younger boys, were just as cer tain that all syphilitics should be barred. The University of Chicago, Uni versity of Iowa, and Dartmouth col lege are schools which have elected to give Wasserman or Kahn tests to all newcomers. New York univer sity offers free tests to all students, but does not require them. Testing began on the Midway with the winter quarter this month, tak ing advantage of the Chicago board of health’s program of free and secret examinations, since the uni versity health service lacked funds for this purpose. Dartmouth college began routine Wassermans last fall and found one case of congenital syphilis among 650 incoming students. The University of Iowa started serological testing of freshmen in 1924 and continued until 1930, re ported Dr. M. E- Barnes, head of the department of hygiene. It ceased, he said, because of many objections. The university then con fined its testing to food handlers, employees, and others. “Fid. Def.” on British Coins The title “Fidei Defensor” (De fender of the Faith) was conferred on the English King Henry VIII by Pope Leo X, in 1521. It was his rec- ognitioi of Henry’s reply to Martin Luther. When Henry quarreled with Rome, in 1538, the Pope then in power, Paul HI, deprived him of this title. But in 1544 it was con firmed by the English parliament, and has ever since been borne by all British sovereigns. Now it refers to the Protestant faith, and not, as at first, to the Catholic religion. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT LADIES i for ' wanted. AROUND THE HOUSE To Bake Potatoes.—Potatoes will bake more quickly if cut in halves.
