(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)
CHAPTER V
i,- - sr
Jerry Meets a Geniue.
Jerry's slender band upon the fllmny
banister of the stairway grew sudden
ly tense so that the blue veins stood
out clearly upon the delicate white
ness of her skin.
"Will you tell Mr. Allerton." she
said gently but’ with firmness, “that I
do not care to see him? I—”
“8h. for heaven's sake !'* begged
Mlml. "He'll hear you. I’ll tell him
you're out. Til give him a cup of tea.
If you don't mind, to put him In a
good humor and then—''
"But I'm not out, and I'm not busy,
and I'm not engaged. I’m Just not
interested."
Jerry’s enunciation was perfect, the
hallway narrow, the transom open.
She vent into her room and closed
the door. Theresa In a similar circum
stance would have flammed it furious
ly, but Jerry was not given to furious
alammlngs ss a means of expression.
8he closed It softly.
Mlml, left alone, distracted and be
wildered In her predicament, threw
out both jeweled hands In a reiuon-
atratlv#, anxious gesture.
“Now, what can you do with a girl
like that?" she walled.
The answer came from the farther
doorway. Mlmi'e doorway, where
Duane Allerton stood and laughed,
but ruefully.
"Not much, I’m afraid. Not espe
cially keen about seeing me. Is she?"
With a visible effort. Mlml pulled
herself together, dimpled, used the
long lashes to the best possible effect.
“She's tired, poor thing," she said
sympathetically. "You roust excuse
her. She works so hard, you know."
"Oh, she does! I understood that
did not work at all."
I mean she—er—she’s ilred, any
how. And nervous, she's frightfully
nervous. Don't hold It against her.
Can’t I give you a cup of tea—"
"Oh, ho, thanks. T feel I shouldn't
pollute her atmosphere any longer
than Is absolutely necessary. Aw
fully good of you: thanks very much."
He went downstairs at once, and
let himself out into the narrow street.
And Mlml knocked on Jerry’s door,
opening It herself without waiting for
an answer.
“Jerry," she began plaintively, "you
have hurt his feelings Just terribly,
poor hoy—and so good-looking. Now,
that’s positively not nice."
“Go and cheer him up If yon like,"
•aid Jerry. “He's easily comforted.”
"He wouldn’t wait—I mean— You
might at least have Introduced me.
The heat-looking thing—"
*••••••
Jerry learned afterward that he had
gone to Rhoda for her address, and
two days later he went to her again,
to ask her to Intercede for him, to re-
monstfate with hfer disagreeable prote-
. gee from the Middle West.' He asked
Khbtg If Jerry was a flirt.
*A flirt r echoed Rhoda vaguely.
"Good heavens, I don’t know. What
la a flirt? They used to say In college’
"*», hut they meant it nicely,
was craxy about her. That’s
know. A girl who Is quite
wickedly awful In the Middle Went
mmm like an angel flrom heaven when
they transplanted to Greenwich. Don’t
anything about her. I don’t
She’s'm lovely 'thing, and I
a lot of her.”

It did not remotely occur to Jerry

very proficient In preparing them nice
ly on her little grill. One day Theresa
•deed If she would mind rummaging
through a couple of old boxes for her.
In search of a particular bit of tinsel
she particularly needed for a costume.
Jerry flushed with pleasure, j
“Oh, will yoq let me? May I go
through the drawers, and everything,
and fold things upML’U he very quiet."
Theresa laughed at her. "Go as far
as yon like," she said generously.
"Funny thing about you, Jerry. You
never bother me. Most people nag me
to sixes and sevens over nothing at all.
Mind especially. I feel she Is coming
when she starts up the last flight of
stairs, and I begin to see cross-eyed
right away. You are the nicest kid.” -
After that, Jerry took entire charge
of Theresa's room and Theresa’s be
longings, sorting out soiled bits of silk
for the laundry, things Theresa had
overlooked for months, and wrashlng
out eepecialiy fine pieces tfltir her own
hands.
"Oh, Theresa," she said one day, "I
wish you were my sister."
"Oh, good heavens!"
"Yes, I do. T had a little brother,
but he died. I cannot remember him.
Oh, I do wish you were my sister!
Then 1 should be satisfied Just to live
on this way and take care of you and
do little things for you. I should feel j
I was very Important, Indeed—you 1 do :
point such exquisite things, Theresa— 1
I should be so proud of you. I’d prole 1
ably take all the credit for everything
you do. and brag about the way I
brought you up." r
Jerry laughed gleefully at this pic
ture of herself, but Theresa did not
Join her merriment.
“Funny thing, Jerry, but you are the
first person In the world—the first
woman—who ever wanted me for any
thing—friend, foe, or fellow citizen. I
think I must be quite getting on in
the world, to have somebody craving
me for—anything. I feel quite stuck
up about it.”
She put her brushes down abruptly
and went out of the room without
apology, and Jerry, with that new wis
dom of hers which was only Intuition
and not the least understanding, went
on with the papers she was filing and
psld no attention when she went, nor
when she came again.
*•••••• —
Jerry went about a great deal, some
times with Mlml She was not /ond
of Mlml. but enjoyed her Immensely.
She was a constant source of gay de
light, with- her pretty vanities and
boasted conquests, where Theresa was
like a brooding pain to <her. She
laughed at Mlml. but in her heart she
wept abmd over soul and body-worn
Theresa.
Dunne Allerlon sent her flowers.
Rhoda. In such a case, would h.tve
tossed them from her window In holy
•corn. Theresa would have c-iushed
them to crumpled petals between her
hare hands, tne thorns #f them prick
ing lur skin to crimson. Jerry looked
at them, gave them to Mlml. He wrote
to her. Jerry read the notes, and tore
them up. She never thought of re
turning them to him, unopened, al
though she knew from whom they
came. That would have been too dra
matic, too theatrical, for her. The
waste basket served her purpose well
enough.
One afternoon she sow him. She
was dam-ing at tea at the Hlltmnre
with Mind and two young friends of
hers, boys fresh from college. One
was cubbishly infatuated with Jerry,
and she, in mNchlef, hud set herself
to tantalize him to the limit of her
charm. In the midst of her pretty
coquetry she looked up suddenly, and
saw Duane Allerton at a table across
from them, sitting with a woman, very
lovely, very sophisticated, very youug.
"Francy," Jerry thought at once.
Mlml would have redoubled heratten-
tlons to the young admirer, to whet
Allerton's interest, to stir his jealousy.
Jerry could not do that, she did not
even think of It. She yielded to the
natural hush tlwt swept over her at
seeing him, and sat, a subd&ed and
softened figure. With the others at the
table. She knew his eyes remained
steadily, on her face. She knew he
marveled that she permitted the silly
exaggeration of this ardent boy’s de
votion, and yet repulsed his own more
finjshed advances. Jerry herself did
not know why she did.
\Vhe?l they arose to go, she turned
and looked squarely In his direction.
She could have answered the call of
his sober eyes, gone softly to him,
touched his hand.
“Are you ready?" she said to MlmL
drawing up the folds of her cloak as
the amorous yotith placed it about her
shoulders. '
Duane's eyes followed them as they
passed out. Jerry would not turn her
head, te look sway from him, pretend
she did not see him. She would have
been ashamed of subterfuge. She
looked at him frankly, and did not
know him.
"Jerry, there's your friend," whle*
pered Mlml, "Isn't he the beet-looking
thing yotf ever saw?"
She turned the effective lashes upon
him brightly, and Duane nodded to
her, and smiled. Jerry said nothing.
• • • . • • e •
On the following morning Thereae
went down to Jerry’s room before the
.oenal time for the dally breakfast
trey. This was an occurrence of such
Infrequency that Jerry could not hide
a flutter of flattered pleasure when
she appeared hi the doorway.. But

and brooms than delicate paints and

“Uni, she’s ugly,” said Theresa.
"But that kid's a genius, all the same.
She knows nothing, bus never hud a

what she came here for, without

scraps of paint and canvas, and tell
her little things that help her. Greta
Val may be ugly, she may be green,
but she’s got It, Jerry, and It’ll boil

Jerry was almost childishly pleased.
"Oh, Theresa, get her quick! She
can have all my things—the easel, the
paint, everything! Get her right
away, won't you? I’ll feel so much
better when it's all out of my sight."

enthusiasm, set to work, pulling out
boxes of paint and crayons, canvases,
brushes and books, that all should be

ly anxious for his ‘kinsmen in the
flesh, hut whenever they proved them
selves unworthy, he turned to the Gen
tiles. His own kinsmen flrst should
te the method of every missionary,
but should not stop there. He went
out on the Sabbath day so as to find
them assembled together.
2. His Message (v. .’1).
His message was always and ever
the same, viz., that Jesus is the Christ.
To the Jew the essential thing waa
to be convinced from the Scriptures.
So 1‘nul expounded to them the Scrip
tures. This is the business of all min
isters, to expound the Scriptures, to
prove their positions by the Word.
Concerning the Christ, he set forth
three propositions:
(1) The Scriptures prove that
Christ must be a sufferer (v. 3). ”It
behooved Christ to suffer.” No plain
er reference need be made than Isaiah
53, but it seems that the rabbis of
that time had explained away the fact
of a suffering Messiah so that the
Jewish people were only looking for
a glorious and powerful king to come;
therefore They reject eiTChr I st because
of His lowly appearance. • The same
method of exegesis Is employed by
many Bible teachers and preachers
today. Only the emphasis Is placed
upon the literal suffering of the Meft-
sIhJi. while they spiritualize and al
legorize the teaching of "‘the glorious
coming of the Messiah to Judge His
enemies and to reign upon the earth
(II Sam. 7:8-lfl; Isa. 53; Jer. 23:5-8;
Zech. 9:14; Luke 1:1-13; Acts 15:14-
17).
(2) That Christ .Must Rise Again
From the Dead (v. 3).
| This he proved by the Scriptures.
The resurrection of Christ, and the
bodily resurrection of 1 elievers, needs
sound and practical exposition In our
churches today.
(8) That the Historic Jesus Whom
He Proclaimed Did Suffer and Rise
HE MUST STAND TRIAL

(V. 3).
H. Ths Attitude of th# Jews (w.
4-10n).
Wliile some Jews believed and many
Greeks, the envy of certain Jews was
so aroused at Paul's success that they
gathered together the worthless fel
lows of the town and set on foot s
riot. They assaulted the house of
Jason and dragged him before the
rulers, having failed to get the mis
sionaries. In their Indictment of the
missionaries they uttered unwittingly
some great truths. They said: "These
that have turned the world upside
down.” It Is true that the gospel is
revolutionary, but It Is not treason to
right government. The real truth,
however, Is that the world is now up
side down. Tlie work of the gospel is
to set It right side up. They turned
the preaching of Paul Into a specious
lie. He did preach the kingship of
Jesuk (see verse 7), but not as they
endeavored-to make ft appear. Jesus
is most assuredly coming to reign on
this earth (Ps. 2). Let all men ac
knowledge Him In humble submis
sion.
III. , Paul Preaching in Bsraa (vv.
10b 1,1).
I. His Method (v. 10).
He entered the Jewish synagogue
and preached Jesus unto them.
2. . The Reception pf the.Gospel by
the Bereang (Vv. 11-12).
It waa with gladness of heart. The
message was just as new to thepe
Jews and juqt as counter to their way
of thinking as It was to the Thessa-
Ionian Jews, but they had a more
noble disposition. The success of the
gospel depends altogther on the dis
position of tke bearers. Two things
are said of them:
(1) They received the message
gladly. r
(2) They searched the Scripture#
dally for the truthfulness of the
preaching. For this worthy act Paul
says they were more noble than thoee
all Theesalonica.
