THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C- FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1940 IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAY ►CHOOL L esson By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) H ollywood is ail agog over a contest that’s to take place on August 25th at the RKO studios. The participants are Jack Oakie and George Bancroft, and the event is—of all things!—a table-setting con test! It all started when a Los Angeles department store persuaded ten prominent men about town to set tables as each thought they should be set. Oakie and Bancroft saw the exhibit, and the argument was on, each being perfectly sure that he could out-do the other if ever —heaven forbid—he had to set a ta ble. First thing they knew, they’d arranged the contest; the only rules are that they’ll use modern Ameri- By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.

VIVIAN LEIGH can glassware and keep expendi tures down to $40. The loser will set a table and serve dinner for 16 of the winner’s friends. Vivian Leigh and Laurence Oliv ier are to be co-starred in a story based on the romance of Lord Nel son and Lady Hamilton, an Alex ander Korda picture. Remember ing what a superb picture he made of “Henry the Eighth,” it seems certain that his version of the fa mous love story of the famous ad miral will be one of the year’s best pictures. Phyllis Kennedy ought to succeed if anybody should—first she broke her back, and later she accepted ad vice that wasn’t very good and lost a grand opportunity—and now she’s started toward the top again. In 1933 she was dancing with a troupe in Denver, and fell and frac tured her spine. Doctors said she’d never walk again. Two years later she was dancing once more. She was engaged for chorus work in the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and her gift for comedy got her the role of the maid in "Stage Door.” Warner Brothers offered her a contract, but she hesitated, let people tell her what to do, and the chance slipped away. She’s working now in “Honey moon for Three,” and Lloyd Bacon, who’s directing, is helping by build ing up her role. Watch her—she’s bound to get ahead this time! Douglas Fairbanks Jr. may have been something of a playboy some years ago, but now he’s nothing if not a solid citizen. Married happi ly, and the proud father of a three- year-old daughter, he’s not only the star of Columbia’s “Before I Die,” but its co-producer as well. That means being on the set early and late, whether he’s appearing before the cameras or not. The girls of Hollywood are wear ing red, white and blue these days. Penny Singleton appeared at a bene fit in a cotton evening gown hav ing a white skirt and a bodice that was red and blue; Anita Louise, told to wear a novelty necklace in “I’m for Rent,” chose a silver chain from which were suspended miniature Bags of the 23 American countries; Evelyn Keyes has a red, white and bine straw hat, and Frances Robin son’s leather handbag has a flag on either side. Uncle Ezra’s Rosedaie Silver Cor net Band rehearses longer than the actors on that popular radio pro gram, just to achieve those peculiar off-key effects that drive music lov ers mad. The reason the band has to rehearse so long to sound so dis cordant is that each man is an ac complished musician; “We work harder than Toscanini,” declared Director Bruce Kamman, “Just to perfect a musical mistake!” Paramonnt’s going to do right handsomely by Joel McCrea—he’s been assigned to the lead in “Bot any Bay,” a story by James Nor man Hall, one of the authors of ‘Mutiny on the Bounty.” “Bottom Bay” is one of those high ly dramatic tales, laid in the period just after the American Revolution. Jean Hersholt’s dream of years, a Hollywood home for aged and in capacitated film workers, is soon to be a reality. As president of the Motion Picture Relief fund, he and members of the organization’s ex ecutive committee will soon begin looking for a site for the home. They have more than a half million dollars, earned by the stars who do- aated their services to the CBS Screen Guild program so that the money could go into the fund CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS LESSON TEXT—II Samuel 12:13. 14; Psalm 51: .-3. 9-13: 32:5. GOLDEN TEXT—Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.—James 5:16. If the Bible told us only of perfect people, we would recognize it as being not true to life and assuredly of no help to us who know our own sinful natures. The Bible, however, tells us in all truthfulness of the bad as well as the good, the weak as well as the strong, the humble as well as the mighty. It honestly portrays the sins of its greatest characters, revealing the heart of man as “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jer. 17:9). It tells us of a gra cious God (when man repents and forsakes his sin) who invites the sinner to come and be delivered from his sin. The lesson centers around David, the humble shepherd boy who be came king; and in the height of his glory, being tempted of his own evil desires, fell into the lowest of sin, which he then sought to cover by a well-planned murder. He finds no peace until he repents and re turns to God. Three words sum marize the lesson. I. Sin (II Sam. 12:13, 14). That little three lettered word seems to have the hiss of the ser pent in it—sin—the cause of all man’s woes and the heartache of a loving God. David had tried to hide his sin and he said, “My bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me” (Ps. 32: 3, 4). “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Num. 32:23) is just as true today as it was in David’s time. The nature of sin is described in Psalm 51, and if we may anticipate a bit, we note that it is described by three words; “transgression,” meaning a rebellious “stepping over” God’s boundaries; “ : niquity,” from the same root as our word unequal,” meaning crookedness of heart and life; and “sin,” which means missing the mark, a life go ing the wrong way. Note that sin, while it may bring sorrow and trouble to us and those round about us, is “against the Lord” (v. 13 and Ps. 51:4). The sin ner must face and answer to God for his sin. Nathan’s straightforward dealing with David brought him to II. Repentance (Ps. 51:1-3, 9-13). What David expressed to Nathan —“I have sinned against the Lord” ■is more fully expressed in the great psalm of penitence which we know as Psalm 51. Dr. Wilbur M. Smith well says that “probably these verses have brought more comfort, and assurance of forgiveness, and hope for a renewed life after some terrible transgression, to a greater number of God’s children down through the ages than any other sin gle passage in the pages of the Old Testament.” To acknowledge one’s transgres sion before God is to open the flood gates of His mercy, to receive His grace in forgiveness, cleansing, res toration, new joy, and (note it well) renewed usefulness (v. 13). God does not cast His people off because of their sin, nor cut off their use fulness when they repent. Observe, however, that God did not permit David’s sin to go un punished. God is forgiving, but even repentance cannot wipe out the re sults of sin (II Sam. 12:14). God chastised David to declare before the people all of His divine hatred of sin. To sin against God is no light and casual thing. It cuts deep ly into life, and only the grace of God is sufficient to bring a man up out of that pit. But there is HI. Forgiveness (Ps. 32:5). How tender and sweet is that word —forgiveness. It speaks of the re moval of guilt, the breaking down of the barrier which sin has created, and the restoration of fellowship. Where all had been wrong and trou bled, all has become right and at peace. These things are true even in the forgiveness of one man toward an other who has offended, but infinite ly greater when the heart of God meets the repentant sinner. He is so ready to meet such a man that even while he is thinking of con fessing, God sees the attitude of his heart and forgives. "At this mo ment, without sight or sound that mortal ear can detect, or attitude that the eye of man can observe, oven before the thing is said, when I make up my mind to confess, ‘thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin’I Do you wonder that when this man was going to write a psalm about this matter, he had to begin, ‘O the blessings of transgression forgiven, and sin covered’?” (G. Campbell Morgan). Fidelity It is only by fidelity in little things that a true and constant love to God can be distinguished from a passing fervor of spirit. T F YOU have not already been con- j A verted into a suede way of think ing, you will when you see the fasci nating things designers are doing with handsome suede for the com ing fall and winter. In a wide range of colors, never so beautiful, never so exquisitely supple and never be fore so versatile for all purposes, suede has reached the point where it is regarded as a staple medium for the making of smart apparel. No matter from what fashion an gle the approach is made, suede qualifies as the perfect answer. There’s nothing smarter on the boards for fall than a coat or a jack et, a suit or a one-piece dress made of suede. As to accessories of suede the rich colors of suede and its de lightsome yield to deft handling is revealed throughout a whole list of bags and hats, belts, gloves and footwear that add the swank touch to goodlooking costumes. Women of keen fashion-sense like suede because it not only has proved to be dependably wearable and prac tical, but when it comes to color suede is positively glamorous and stands in a class all its own when it comes to interpreting a new high in fashion. Destined to be adored is the little- boy jacket done in suede as shown to the left in the illustration. It is collarless with slightly padded shoul ders. It boasts of three large patch pockets. Helen Wood, glamour girl of 1940 in filmland, chooses this jacket in a gold nugget hue to wear over a moss green suede dress. Any school-faring girl will do well to include in her wardrobe a suede ensemble after the manner of the model shown to the right. Here you see Rosemary De Camp, dramatic cinema actress, in a one-piece dress made of porcelain blue suede. Soft ness is achieved by a fulness gath- Red Corduroy It’s time to give thought to the inevitable easy-to-slip-on jacket that is indispensable when cool breezes announce that autumn days are here. The pick of them all, in the estimation of fashion-wise college girls and their younger school-far ing sisters is the jacket that is made of bright red corduroy. A grand twosome for early fall days on the campus or for general wear when the tang of autumn calls for com fortable wraps is a jacket of stop light red corduroy such as is pic tured here, topped with a matching hat of the identical corduroy. Pompadour Styles Fix Hat Fashions The revival of the pompadour comes to some of us as a surprise, but here it is and no mistake, smug gled in under the guise of a group of flattering curls or some other softly arranged coiffure that is real ly very flattering. If there is one thing more than another that we are learning this season it is that the new hat fashions have to a certain extent been greatly influenced by the return of the pompadour. Toque and Turban Fashions Arriving Coming in are a series of toque and turban fashions that suggest the quaint bonnets worn in the six ties. You wear them back of the pompadour and the inspiring note about these little chapeaux are they are becoming to youth and to the not so young, as well. In fact for the matronly type these turbans and toques solve the pompadour hat problem perfectly. An older woman who could under no circumstances venture to wear a wide brim posed back on the head such as the teen age delights in, finds that the little draped toques are a triumphant so- 'ution. Also there is comfort in the thought that milliners are designing smart hats that are intended to dip over the brow, that tune to the new style demands every whit as smart ly as do the excitingly new pompa dour effects. Gold Jewelry Will Be Worn This Fall In spite of the fact that gold jew elry has been somewhat out of the picture for a brief &pell comes re ports to the effect that it has again come to the fore in ’he style pic ture. However, the new gold jewel ry that will enliven smart black jersey dresses and those of sheer wools, is not of the garish spectacu lar type. There is exquisite refine ment expressed in subtle detail and workmanship in the incoming neck laces, bracelets, pins, clips and la pel ornaments. Fringe and Lacing Decorative Trims Soft fringe and lacing are two decorative trims used together on a pretty pair of white linen shoes shown by a New York designer. The shoe is a very high-heeled pump laced up the toe and down the back of the shank. The throat of the pump is edged with a rim of nar row fringe repeated in a straight band below each crossed lacing on the toe. ered in under the slash pockets on the waist. The only trimming de tail is a thong lacing outlining the neckline and the invisible slide fast ener down the front. You will love this dress in any of the new colors. Part of the glory and romance of the new suede costumes is that hats to match are ever available. You can get a sort of college girl mortar-board type such as crowns the pretty head of the figure stand ing, or if you like the cunning match ing hat inspired by a bellhop cap as you see pictured in the inset below, shops and departments carry both types. Society has taken to vacationing in the far West where picturesque “dude” ranches offer fascinating sport and diversion. Part of the fun is “when you are in Rome do as Romans do,” which is to say in this connection, adopt cowboy costumes. At least this is what fashion is do ing, playing on the theme in a way to dazzle the eye with the novelty and lie of slacks and even dresses, and blouses and jackets made of suede or other fanciful leather. And here's where suede comes into its own in all its glory, in just such attractive outfits as the white leath er Western riding habit centered in the picture. The fringed skirt is ac cented by studs of silver. The boots and fringed bolero are similarly treated. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) npHE phrase “Kentucky rifleman” A is authentic, for I have eaten the venison that followed in the wake of Paul Derringer’s unerring aim on the trail of a deer. in the last few years any number of batters have had a harder time in the wake of his fast ball, curve and control. Paul Derringer has played a lead ing role in the Red drive for the last two years, despite the fact that sev en years ago he was rated all through and on his way over the hill. That was the year that pitch ing for both Cardinals and Reds he won 7 games and lost 27, for the meager average of .206, far below tail-end form. Six years after this dashing deba cle Paul won 25 and lost 7, one of the most startling reversals I know in all sport. Paul Derringer was bom in Springfield, Ky., 34 years ago this PAUL DERRINGER coming October. He is around 6 feet 4, weighing 210 pounds. He began unveiling his right arm in Danville in 1927, 13 years ago. In 1933 St. Louis traded Paul to Cin cinnati for Leo Durocher and others now unknown. Both teams got star men. Mandarin Durocher, now guarding the destinies of the Dodgers, would just as soon that Derringer had been traded to another club, preferably Brooklyn. The Serious Athlete Paul is what you would call a serious athlete. There is no great amount of levity in his nature. Those who don’t know him might call him surly or sulky, but he isn’t. Quiet people are often thrown into this class, when they should be awarded chaplets of laurel or wild apple blossoms. Outside of baseball he likes to hunt and he doesn’t mind being alone. Today Paul Derringer comes close to being the best all-around pitcher in baseball. He is certainly the smartest. Six years after he turned in his .206 average with the Reds he gave the same city a winning average of .781. This upward leap of 575 p>oints is close to the high-jump rec ord of all time. But it still belongs to Paul Derringer. He was on his way over the high hill seven years ago. He had made three World series starts and had lost them all. He had taken more than his share of hammering. But a year ago in his older age he won 25 games and he’ll win 25 or more this season. His main specialty seems to be one and two-hitters. He has been closer to more no-hit games than any pitcher in the trade. Unless some peculirr series of epi sodes takes place, the same Der ringer will be heard from in loud tones in the next World series. Another Entry You can add the name of Freddy Fitzsimmons to this all-star list. Freddy was 39 years old on Sun day. The Dodger star began pitch ing for Muskegon in the Central league just 20 years ago. He stuck with the Giants for 13 years until Bill Terry decided there was no ! longer any winning stuff left in Freddy’s right arm. So Terry traded him to Brooklyn. This season, after 20 years of pitching, Fitzsimmons has already won 10 games for Brooklyn against a lone defeat. He has the highest pitching percentage in baseball. Having packed away 202 major league victories, Fitz is just warm ing up. He has an all-time life aver age around .600, which is nothing to leer at after you have been around since 1920. Fitz is one of the fine characters of baseball. He is one of the main credits to the game that has car ried him along into middle age— middle age as far as active competi tion is concerned. And with 10 out of 11 for 1940 he is now headed for his greatest year. Those Who Come Back The most somber line ever writ ten in sport was this: “They don’t come back.” Nothing was ever farther from the | truth. No other line has ever had a more depressing effect on some stars. 1 The true fact is they keep on com ing back. We have just related the two cases of Derringer and Fitz- simmons.
