B ETTE DAVIS has always
made it very clear that she
had the courage of her convic

one of her pet theories with coin
of the realm right now, and
John Garfield, James Cagney
and Pat O’Brien are ready to

She believes that Hollywood
could be made a theatrical cen-,
ter, since there is all sorts of
talent on the coast, and she and
her partners are prepared to
form ah organization for pro
ducing plays—and also to act in
them. Plays that succeed will
be sent along to Broadway.

getting it.

If you’ve tried to get “Swiss Fam

lately you’ve probably been out of
luck. Translated from the Swiss in
1820, the book is said still to be a

the Bible in gross sales. It had
never been screened until RKO of

Some Ideas for a Party
Shur-r-re an’ in the mer’ry month

we’re thinkin’ of when we pass along
these ideas for a party.
Parties seem to move along more
smoothly after a bit of fun—and fun
it is to find an
Irish Paddy’s Pig
at your place at
the table! Small
Irish potatoes,
scrubbed until
they shine, make
the fat bodies of
the pigs. For the
head, fasten a large round gum drop
to one end of each potato, with a
toothpick. Make the snout from
a small gum drop pinched to the
proper shape, and fasten it to the
head with a toothpick. Insert whole
cloves for “facial features.” Cut
ears and a curly tail from jelly
strings and fasten these in position
with toothpicks too. Small gum
drops, fastened to the body with
toothpicks, make the legs.
Nut cups which look like Paddy’s
clay pipe, can be made from marsh
mallows, green cellophane soda
straws, and a bit of green ribbon.
With a pair of sharp-pointed scis
sors, hollow out the center of the
marshmallow slightly, to form the
bowl of the pipe. Tie a green rib
bon (with a jaunty bow) around the
pipe bowl, and insert a cellophane
soda sipper low in one side, for the

GETHSEMANE: TRIUMPH
THROUGH SURRENDER
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 26:36-40.
GOLDEN TEXT—Not as I will, but •«
thou wilt.—Matthew 26:39.
Surrender brings victory.
The world would say that our
statement is not true; surrender is
the mark of defeat. It is the final
chapter in a story of struggle
against impossible circumstances,
against a stronger power, and final
ly of giving up to accept the bitter
sorrow of subjection and sometimes
destruction. But again we say, the
way of strength is through surren
der, for we speak of the spiritual
realm and of our relationship to
God. Here there is no victory until
there is surrender. In fact, the
measure of victory is the degree of
surrender. Full submission to
Christ means complete triumph for
the Christian. The Lord Jesus does
not ask His disciples to walk a way
which He has not trod Himself. He
went the way of full surrender to
the will of God in the garden of
Gethsemane. We observe five
things about this way of “triumph
through surrender.” It was
I. A Way of Sorrow (w. 37, 38).
He was exceedingly sorrowful
unto death. It was not an easy thing
that the Saviour did as He fulfilled
the will of God the Father in the
garden. We know that no man ever
sorrowed as He did on that day, for
only He bore the sins of the world.
There is, however, a lesson here
for us who are His disciples. If
this is the road the Master trod,
should not His servants tread it still?
The way of victory for us is through
surrender.
II. A Way of Self-Denial (w. 39,
42, 44).
Self-denial does not consist in de
priving one’s self of some little cher
ished luxury. It means the denial
of self, namely, that self-will is
put aside and God’s will is supreme.
It was no “easy thing for Jesus
to carry out the Father’s will and
to go to the cross. He was sub
missive to that will; yet in this hour
of anguish in the garden, when the
unspeakable horror of what lay
ahead almost overwhelmed His soul,
it means much to say, ‘Not as I
will but as thou wilt’ ” (Dr. B. L.
Olmstead). It may be a hard thinff
to do, but by His grace we too
may say, “Thy will be done.”
HI. A Way of Loneliness (w. 38,
37, 40, 41, 43).
There were three disciples with
Him as He entered the garden, and
their very presence reminds us how
very much alone Jesus actually was.
There were twelve with Him in the
upper room, but one went out into
the darkness to betray Him. Eleven
came with Him to the gate of the
garden, but only three came into
the garden with Him. Even they
could not go all the way with Him.
He prayed and agonized alone, and
the three who were near at hand
failed Him and slept through the
dark hour when He most needed
their fellowship in sympathy and
prayer.
Alone? If the Master had to walk
the way of surrender alone, let no
Christian expect that it> will be
otherwise for him. Let us thank
God for every blessing of true fel
lowship, but let us not be surprised
if we are often called to walk alone
—with God.
IV. A Way of Betrayal (w. 45, 46).
“He is at hand who doth betray
me” “into the hands of sinners.”
One feels that the cup of the Master
is already overfull without adding
betrayal by one of His own, but
there it is, a dark and tragic reality.
Note with what peace and assurance
Jesus goes to meet it. The victory
has already been won in prayer,
in communion with the Father, and
in submission to His will.
No one of us will ever know such
a betrayal as that of our Lord, but
we do face similar crises as we go
on in a life of devotion to God’s
will. We do well to remember the
experience of Christ that we be not
overwhelmed by the treachery of
men and that we prepare ourselves
to meet it with the power and grace
of our God.
V. A Way of Divine Fellowship
and Blessing (vv. 39, 42).
The way of surrender is a glorious
and delightful way to go. But,
some one may ask, have we not
been talking of sorrow, self-denial,
loneliness and betrayal? Yes, but
even these things may become the
means of blessing if God is in them.
Though no man stood by our Lord
in His experience in Gethsemane,
the Father was there. Jesus talked
with Him, prayed to Him, trusted
Him, yielded fully to His will, and
the result was peace and blessing.
We read in Luke 22:43 that an angel
also came and strengthened Him.
