Matt was quite changed when he returned. He gripped my hands and said to me,
“1 could kill you now. There’s no moment when l couldn't kill you. But l believe
you’ll come back to me.”
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
T HIS is the story of Angela,
who is now 23, and wants
to be married this spring
to the man who has won her
heart—and not only her heart,
but her mind and soul. He is
nine years older than she, an
army doctor stationed at one of
our midwestern posts. It would
be a fine marriage for Angela,
for he could give her a great
deal in comfort and position
that her earlier life has not had
But there’s a cloud. The cloud is
an old friend named Matt, who was
Angela’s boy friend when she was
in high school.
“When I was 17 and Matt two
years older I thought there was no
body like him,” her letter says. “We
were really crazy about each other.
Matt is a big powerful fellow who
seemed much older than he was,
and there was not a girl in school
who would not have been thrilled to
have him in love with her.
"He talked then about getting
married, but my mother told me
that at our ages no affair could be
serious.
Went to Matt’s Cottage.
“Matt and his brother had a little
two-room cottage on the college
grounds, and when his brother was
away I used to go there sometimes,
we would buy provisions at the
‘Cash-and-Carry,’ cook ourselves lit
tle dinners and have great fun. I
was living part of the time at home
in a town seven miles away and part
of the time with my aunt in town,
so that I could manage a good deal
of spare time without being ques
tioned.
“Eventually, on perhaps six or
seven occasions I stayed overnight
there; I was never happy about this.
I knew it was not right, and I was
always afraid his brother would re
turn unexpectedly and lose his re
spect for me.
“That June Matt left college in his
junior year and went to a lumber
miff ‘to make enough money to get
married.’
“Our correspondence languished;
Matt was sent to Central America;
years went by. I got my teacher’s
degree and enjoyed my work, and
then last year I met Jack. We have
all our plans made for a spring wed
ding. I love Jack romantically, idi
otically, but I hope sensibly, too; I
can.imagine no life more gloriously
satisfying than that of being my
Captain’s wife.
“But the problem is that Matt
has returned to town, and whether
his feeling for me died out or not
it is at the blazing point now. He
insists that I am promised to him,
and that we never ended that en
gagement and that I cannot in honor
marry Jack. '
A Violent Type.
“This would be merely silly if it
were not that he is an angry and
violent type. His brother told me
once that their father killed himself
and Matt’s mother in a jealous rage.
1 sent for Matt and we had a ter
rible interview. He threatened to
disclose everything to Jack, who has
returned to his post. I could tell
him truly that Jack knew of it, and
had said that my foolishness as a
little girl would not affect his love
and respect for me today.
“Then Matt swore that 1 would
never live to be Jack’s wife, that I
had given myself to him, and be
longed to him body and soul, and
that if he could not have me here
he would have me in eternity.
A REAL PROBLEM
It is sometimes considered old-
fashioned to talk of protecting a
woman’s "honor" but the fact
remains that the woman who
sacrifices her honor, or whatever
you choose to call it, will sooner
or later be faced with a problem
she cannot so easily dismiss. For
instance, there is Angela, a girl
of 23, who wants to marry a doc
tor in his early thirties. Angela
is going ahead with her plans for
a spring wedding, but she is
afraid—of a man who has re
turned to claim her. They were
high school sweethearts. Now
Matt feels that Angela has no
right to marry anyone else. What
should she do?
“My father is dead and 1 dare
not frighten my mother with this,
but I am sick with terror for fear
he will keep his word. What can
I do? I am going ahead with wed
ding plans and bridesmaids’ dresses,
but I am in a cold sweat when I
wake up at night, and any little
sound makes my heart stop. Do you
think he will dare do it? I cannot
warn the police because then there
would be publicity; and if he knew
he was being watched, or was
warned, he might grow desperate.
“He :s quite changed from what
he was, or not so much changed as
worse than he was; angrier and
harder. He gripped my hands and
said to me, ‘X would kill you now.
There’s no moment when I couldn’t
kill you. But I believe you’ll come
back to me, and I’ll wait until I’m
sure you are double-crossing me.’ ”
The letter ends with a wild ap
peal: shall she run away? Shall
she hide? Shall she tell Jack of
her danger? What shall she do?
Advised to Move.
My answer went to her by airmail
days ago, and today she writes me
gratefully that she is following my
advice and that she hears that Matt
has left town.
I advised her to move, with her
mother, to the aunt’s home where
her mother was going to move any
way, after the wedding, and by ail
means to notify the police. The
chances are that Matt’s threats
were only threats, only the last
despairing gesture of a man who
sees his girl won by a better man.
But even so it is just as well not
to risk anything.
The aunt’s family consists, be
side herself, of two bachelor sons;
a much harder group to scare than
are two lone women. And more than
that the police instantly checked on
Matt and temporarily placed a
guard inconspicuously in the neigh
borhood of the apartment house.
So the probability is that Angela in
a few weeks will feel herself safe
in her new home with a husband to
protect her.
But when it has involved intima
cies, the exchanging of passionate
notes signed “your adoring hus
band,” “your crazy little loving
wife,” the buying of groceries and
cooking them in a tiny cabin, and
especially when the girl has given
the man the supreme proof of her
love and trust, then there is a bond
that isn’t easily broken.
We hear a good deal in these days,
about the unimportance of a wom
an’s honor. “She doesn’t harm any
one but herself,” the girls argue,
“and it’s nobody’s business but her
A Birthday Cake With Candles—Goody!
(See Recipes Below)
Happy Returns
Birthdays the children have are
the ones which they usually cherish
most even though they may have
bigger cakes and more candles in
later years. So with this in mind,
I’m including a few suggestions.
Cake ’n’ ice cream are tops, and
a bit of candy to sweeten the tooth
dictate the party.
The cake can be
simple, decorated
with a ten-cent
pastry tube. If
you don’t want to
take the time to
spell out the let
ters, you can buy
these for a nominal sum, and have
a professional looking cake right out
of your own kitchen.
Have the children send out their
own invitations, even make them
up if they like—this will be grand
fun for them. Twirling crepe paper
for decorations and getting the
chairs in place will please them no
end, for these, though smaU, will
give them a wonderful sense of "do
ing something.”
For the cake I’ve chosen an in
expensive but fascinatingly red

Lynn Says:
A birthday party’s a real party
with birthday games to play. Let
the children play their favorite
ones, and if they run out of ideas,
try some of these:
Take the words. Greeting and
Birthday, and give each of the
guests paper and pencil. Ask
players to fill in as many words
as possible between each of the
two letters. First words begin
with B and end with G. Second
words begin with R and end with
I. Third words begin with R
and end with E, and so forth.
Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the
game, and give prizes to those
with longest lists.
Have children sit in a circle to
play this game called Birthday
Gifts. First player starts with
letter A, and makes a sentence
giving the name of the place he
is going and the gift he is bring
ing. For example, he might say,
“I am going to Appleton to get
him an Anchovy, or to Bermuda
to get him a Bon Bon,” and so
forth down the alphabet. No
words should be repeated.
Guests can also make a scrap
book together, cutting out maga
zines and papers to make an au
tobiography for the guest of hon
or. Include place of birth, pic
tures of mother and dad, school,
vacation trips, etc.

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for March 22

Council of Religious Education; used by

JESUS THE MESSIAH
FORETELLS HIS DEATH
LESSON TEXT—Mark 8:Z7-37.
GOLDEN TEXT—For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall
lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s,
the same shall save It.—Mark 8:35.
Jesus came into the world as the
Redeemer of men—and that means
He came to die. The prophets who
wrote centuries before His coming
presented Him as both the suffering
and the reigning Messiah. However,
to the minds of the Jewish people
only the idea of His glory and king-
ship was acceptable, not of His suf
fering and death.
Apparently His own disciples had
this same impression and it there
fore became necessary for Jesus as
He came to the last months of His
earthly ministry to speak plainly to
them about these matters.
I. Recognition of Christ by Faith
(vv. 27-30).
As a foundation for right thinking
on any spiritual question there must
be recognition of Christ’s deity. He
drew forth such a confession from
the disciples by asking who men
said that He was. Notice that while
there was difference of opinion, all
had a high opinion of Him, calling
Him John the Baptist, Elijah, or one
of the prophets. They knew that a
great man was in their midst, and
had to admit it, even though they
hated and opposed Him. But it is
not enough to accept Christ as a
great man, as a teacher, a prophet,
or an example. Nor is it enough
to tell what others think of Him.
The question quickly becomes:
“Whom say ye that I am?” Have
you answered that question? What
will you do with Jesus Christ?
Peter relponded with a straight
forward, heaven-bom confession of
Christ as the Son of the living God
(cf. Matt. 16:16-18) upon which Christ
established His church.
II. Rejection and Crucifixion
Prophesied (vv. 31, 32).
The foundation of faith in Him
having been laid, Christ plainly laid
before the disciples the fact of His
coming rejection and death. Notice
the word "must” in verse 31. "There
was an imperative necessity for
these things. But why must He
die? This question is fully answered
elsewhere in the Bible (John 3:14;
Heb. 9:22; Isa. 53:4-6; II Cor. 5:21;
Gal. 3:13; I Pet. 2:24). There could
have been no salvation for any sin
ner if He had not died (Gal. 3:10,
13; II Cor. 5:21; Rom. 3:20-26)”
(John W. Bradbury).
Note also that He “must rise
again” (v. 31). He died for our
sins, but “was raised again for our
justification” (Rom. 4:25).
III. Rebuke of Unbelief (vv. 32,
33).
Peter, quick to accept Jesus as
the Son of God, permitted Satan to
blind his mind to the necessity of
the cross, and thus became a stum
bling block of unbelief, calling forth
a severe rebuke from Jesus.
It is a striking and humbling
thought that the very one who a
moment before spoke such accept
able words cf recognition of Christ’s
deity could by unbelief so quickly
become the tool of Satan. “My soul,
be on thy guard” lest such tempta
tion overtake thee!
May we also learn from this inci
dent that we do well to weigh the
words of even good men lest in a
moment of weakness or unbelief they
say that which may lead us astray.
God’s Word alone is sure!
IV. Requirements of Discipleship
(vv. 34-37).
Following the Christ of Calvary
calls for a willingness to say “no”
to self (literally, to deny any con
nection with self-life) and to follow
through with Him on the path of
shame and crucifixion. No self-will
and no compromise are permissible
to Christ’s disciples.
Foolishly to attempt to hold one’s
life for self is to lose it. That pain
ful loss has left brokenhearted,
wrecked lives all along the path of
man’s history. But why should any
one do it? Equally foolish is the
one who supposes that this world has
anything to satisfy the human soul.
Assuming the possibility of the im--
possible—that is, attaining the whole
world as one’s own possession—to do
so at the cost of one’s soul would be
an indescribably poor bargain.
What then shall we say of those
who barter their eternal souls for a
mess of pottage, a moment of sensu
al satisfaction, or for a few paltry
dollars? “What shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?” It is the
unanswerable question.
