C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1937 Pooches in the Picture Parade T^HERE are “blue bloods’* in the canine world, just as there are blue bloods '*n the human world, and some of the blue bloods among the pups are ju£t as funny-looking as some of the blue bloods that walk erect on two legs. This parade of champions from many scattered dog-shows i® offered in proof. But no matter how he looks, it is true that the dog is man’s best friend, and anyone who has ever owned a dog, whether it be cur or champion, will agree. Some of us may not agree that others choose the type of four-footed friends that we would choose, but aren’t we the same way when it comes to choos ing two-legged companions? A gloomy Gus is this doleful bloodhound,, but he shouldn’t be —he’s a champ: “Brigadier of Reynalton.’’ The ultimate in lap dogs is the chihuahua. Here Champion Cecilee of Etty Haven, who weighs only 1 % pounds and has a sleeping suit and spe cially-built glass house, surveys a few of her laurels. Tiny as they are, the diminutive chihuahuas are always one of the “biggest’’ attractions of the dog show. Pugnacious in appearance, but an old “softie” at heart, is the champion English bull-dog at the left. Even “Thein’s Rio Rita,” the champ chihuahua below, could give him a battle. V < itllii pl§ mm Torn between two loves is this champion poodle, pictured in the “canine •rest room” which brought many laughs at a New York dog show. m mmm __ * It’s hard to imagine what Tom Sawyer would have thought of the champion poodle above or the cham pion Yorkshire terrier at the right. 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 October 3 CHRISTIAN SONSHIP LESSON TEXT—I John 3:1-6, 18-24. GOLDEN TEXT—But as many as re ceived him, to them gave he power to be come the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12. PRIMARY TOPIC—What John Learned from Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—John a Way. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— What Makes Us Children of God? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christian Sonship. What a food bill when these nine Great Dane puppies start to growl “Studies in the Christian Life.” What an attractive title, and what Interesting and instructive studies we are to share during the com ing three months! When setting out on a journey we want to know just where we are going. Just so when we take up a new study we need to define the limits of our subject. We are to study the Christian life—not life in general, not religious life, no, not even life in a Christian land or dur ing the Christian era. It is there fore most appropriate that our first lesson in this series should tell us who the Christian is and how he lives. I. God’s Children—Who They Are (vv. 1-6). 1. They are “Born ones” (v. 1). The Revised Version correctly translates “sons” as “children.” We are sons in our position, but we are children by the new birth. A man may attain the legal relation ship of a son by adoption, but he can be a child only by birth. 2. They are separated ones (v. 1). The world, that is, unregenerate man, does not belong to this family of God. How hard it is for even church people to understand that fact. They do not appreciate and cannot understand God’s children, because they themselves do not know God. 3. They are glorified ones (v. 2). “We shall be like him for we shall see him as he is.” What a glorious hope, realized even now by faith in the hearts and lives of God’s chil dren. The present difference be tween God’s children and the world is to become even greater, for in that day when Christ “shall appear” (for he is coming again!) God’s children shall be like him. Spiritu ally and morally—yes, and even their bodies shall be transformed. 4. They are purified ones (w. 3-6). The standard whereby the Christian measures his life is the purity of Christ. The question is not “How much purer am I than my friends and acquaintances?” No, the norm for the Christian life is far higher, we are to be purified as “he is pure.” All sin is a disregard of God’s law (v. 4). His children do not thus defy Him. They have taken as their Saviour the one “who was manifested to take away sins.” There was no sin in him, and the one who abides in him has victory and does not live in ski. He may fall into some act of sin, but in ut ter misery and repentance he turns from it to his Deliverer. - II. God’s Children—How They Live (w. 18-24). Love is the supreme test of Chris tian profession. “We know we have passed out of death into life, be cause we love the brethren,” says John in v. 14 (R. V.). How far should love go? “We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (v. 16). Such a sacrifice is not often de manded of us, but the writer goes on to say that we may show that spirit in daily service to those in need. * 1. In loving and sacrificial serv ice (v. 18). Words may comfort and strengthen, especially when they are words of love. Love does not stop with words, however, but acts, reflecting the spirit of God, who not only is good, but does good. 2. In the assurance of faith (w. 19-21). Assurance is the blessed privilege of the child of God. Well may we -feel condemned when we measure our lives by his divine tests. But after all, even “if oui heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart.” Salvation does not depend on either our works or our feelings. It is of God. Does this condone sin? God forbid. We are rather so to walk that “our heart condemn "e not.” 3. In unquestioning obedience (w. 22-24). The hallmark of character in a child is obedience. Scripture does not countenance the unfortu nate standards of men on this point. The children of God “keep his com mandments” which are beautifully summed up in v. 23 as believing in Christ and loving one another. Divine Purpose What is it after all which gives men the energy to do things seem ingly impossible? It is, and always has been, the result of the divine purpose. Bond of Perfectness And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. Honesty the Best Policy Unimpaired integrity is an in comparable asset. Plaids Outstanding in Fall Modes By CHERIE NICHOLAS \*'■ ^ fft ^ SSI-•! W&i -■ --j DLAIDS on autumn style program? We hope to tell you! Fact is, the college-faring and the school-going (from kindergarten to i - : ; high school age) girl I. that fails to make a | : : right smart showing of ^ I plaid in her fall ward- L robe simply is not “in it” when it comes ’to swank in dress. There’s no doubt about it, colorful, youthful practical plaids fit into the campus, the office and the great outdoor scheme of things sim ply perfect. All sorts of plaids are on the au tumn fabric list from high-tone dressy plaids of silk velvet and handsome wool weaves down to the most utilitarian, practical, washable types—the kind that go bicycling along dusty roads and then come out “fresh as a daisy” after each tubbing. Bicycling is a fad so important nowadays designers recognize they must create fashions tuned to the sport. The new sturdy washable plaids are proving most likable for outfits of this sort. The girl on the “bike” as shown in the group illus trated is fashionably and sensibly frocked in a dependable completely shrunk washable plaid that gives this rider the look of being keenly style-minded. The schoolgirl centered in the picture is likewise alertly fashion conscious in that she also selects plaid for her voguish blouse, and it’s safe to say she will be getting a lot of wear out of it besides enjoy ing that feeling of confidence it brings to be appropriately clad for *he occasion. Another way to subscribe to the plaid rage that is now featuring in every phase of fashion is to wear a true clan plaid skirt and necker chief with your new fall sweater as shown to the right in the group. • V>. V • •• • . t- V.V.V.-. ■. •. This most commendable outfit is sure to prove an inspiration to the schoolgirl. It was shown at a re cent fall style clinic held in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Viewing the new fall fabrics one becomes fully convinced that plaids as a fashion “must” are definitely here. It is interesting to note that the more classic plaids are labeled each with its clan name. Also the many smart ways to wear plaids makes them all the more intriguing. In enrolling as a plaid enthusiast we suggest that you line your jacket to match your plaid blouse, or wear a plaid dress matched to the lining of your coat, or top a pleated plaid skirt with a bright velveteen jacket, or enliven your fur coat or your fleece coat with a stunning plaid lin ing. They are showing in the stores daring coats in forest green; radiant autumn browns, and the very new deep sapphire blue with bold plaid linings in giddy contrast. Plaid velvet dresses to wear un der fur coats is another outcome of the present craze for plaids. You can also find cunning jackets of plaid velveteen. Some are bolero versions with plaid belts to match. If it is just a touch of plaid you favor, buy a dozen or so of the new plaid composition buttons and let them go marching down the front of your dark velveteen dress or coat. You can get all sorts of plaid accessories. There are en sembles of beret, bag and belt. There are belt and triangle-scarf sets to be had in plaid. © Western Newspaper Union. FASHION STRESSES FABRIC ELEGANCE By CHERIE NICHOLAS Fabrics play a most important part this year, and by their rich ness explain the apparent simplicity of the styles which are the great est challenge to the dressmaker. Velvets, lames, brocades, laces, tulles are all in the picture. Lace becomes a happy medium for day dresses, almost severe in their simplicity. These may be re lieved by rich belts, patent trim mings, etc. Lighter laces in silk or rayon are combined with a colored fabric lining for day dresses or two tones used in combination as Worth has done. Lelong takes a heavy white wool lace for a hip-length top of a dress which ends in a sim ple black velvet skirt, with four rows of the velvet used at the side front from the high waistline to the hip. Patou offers rosepoint collars, cuff or bodice trim with severe dresses—but real rose point. Schiap arelli makes lace of gold cord for three huge medallions on the top per of a two-piece effect black maro- cain. While dresses are simple in effect, fantasy goes into the head- gear. Style Sobriety Stressed for Chic Daytime Costume At the height of the vogue for ro mantic fashions, mutinous mur murs are echoing from the ranks of style leaders who favor simple gar ments for wear before the sun goes down. “Sobriety of the best quality” is the formula advanced by a leading French couturiere as the prime req uisite of daytime chic. “W-sar tailored suits and little sweaters,” she advises, “but have them fitted by a good tailor and made of the finest wool. See that each accessory is equally first grade, for one inappropriate gadget can spoil the entire costume.” BE PENCIL-SLIM By CHERIE NICHOLAS This afternoon frock of purple silk jacquard was worn in a fashion pre view for the silk parade held in New York which presented out standing advance fashions created by the foremost designers of the world.
