He’d had a yen for Top- ley’s back there on the desert wastes. He craved it as a cat would catnip or a homesick Eskimo, an Iceberg. And now, as he hurried his chunky form up the narrow street, the blue neon above Topley’s win dow blazed welcome in letters two feet high. Spence slid into a seat. He breathed, "Razzberry soda, please. Topley special.” He closed his eyes and envisioned a monument of pink and white. A girl’s voice, clear and soft, reached him. “Ras-bry soda,” she Informed. "Without ras-bries." He raised his head. Her eyes were warm and gray. An amused smile bowed her lips. “Without—” he faltered. Her manner humored his confu sion. But Spence didn’t see that. It struck him she was part of the soda. That the dream also took her in. He watched her scoop out a gob of ice-cream, drop it into a tall glass, squirt in a crimson syrup and heard the harsh gurgle of carbonated wa ter. The glass was placed before him. He placed his lips to the straw and pulled. Coldness luxuriously flowed over his tongue, daubed his palate, trickled down his throat and touched off revelations of delicious ness he’d almost forgotten. It evoked Imagery. Lying face upward in a shallow mountain lake . . . elastic stars shimmering on waters above . . . night Winds whispering of giant pines . . . drifting . . . drifting in a rowboat . . . and a girl beside him . . . gray-eyed and'pretty ... a girl like . . . and he looked up. He felt the impact of her presence. She said, “You enjoyed that?” Enjoyed! He’d known the price lessness ol a cold glass ol water. He grinned. “Hit the spot like a letter from home.” Spence expected a smile, but she merely picked up his empty glass and erased the moist ring beneath with an efficient stroke ol a damp cloth. He lelt he’d missed the tar get, but wide. He rose awkwardly and plunged a hand into his pocket. His coin vibrated on the counter. A frustrated ring. The cash register err-unged dis missal. Spence hall-wheeled to go. In turning, his eye caught the tab, NO SALE! The girl’s hand swept to her blouse pocket. The clink ol metal told him his coin had joined others. It was none ol his concern, yet the act had been so brazen. He heard himsell saying, “Don’t they treat you right, here?” Spence couldn’t make out her ex pression. “They do,” she answered succinctly. “I saw you pocket that money.” “So what?” her coolness Irritated him. “11 the owner caught you—” “There’s nothing he could do about it,” she began to straighten a row ol glasses before her. The ges ture tokened disinterest in his opin ions. More, it infuriated him. "T wouldn’t have believed it,” he managed. Instantly he was sorry for her. He noticed that dark lashes rested on her cheeks. He realized also his heart was thumping and there was a quaver in his voice that he couldn’t control. “Why don’t you ask for a raise?” •T can’t—” “Then quit. Get another job.” A tall man loomed in the door way. He was thick shouldered, and muscles like Idaho potatoes bulged his arms, laden at the moment with two big paper bags. Spence glanced at the girl. Be neath her coolness, he thought he detected an undercurrent ol excite ment. She said courteously, “Did you get everything?” The man shrugged his shoulders and laid the bags on the counter. “Yeah,” he grunted. "Exceptin’ powdered sugar.” His tone was gruff. He tore the bag down the center. Spence stared. There, tucked in between two packages lay a jar ol blouse pocket. “I’ve got two new quarters,” she offered. “Swell,” he glowed with delight. He placed a filty cent piece on the counter. “I just need about six more,” he said as she rang up the money, “and I’ll have enough for the kid’s birthday. Thanks a lot. Miss Topley.” Spence was up. He was past the threshold and Into the street. A de taining hand touched his shoulder. He brushed it off. “Pu-leez,” and a slim figure twist ed around and blocked his passage. "What’s the big idea,” he de manded. “I couldn’t help it. Once you got A tall man loomed in the doorway. He was thick shouldered, and muscles like Idaho potatoes bulged his arms, laden at the moment with two big paper bags. raspberries. Atop the pile glistened another of cherries, bright, red, full, exciting and prophetic of de light. ' Vaguely, he could hear the man counting. Meaningless numbers. He’d have to have a Topley special first, then take care of the girL Spence regarded her expression. In jury dominated her fair face and a pensive smile hovered about her lips. It rebuked him. With sinking heart and forward thrust of lean jaw, Spence gulped and announced: “Sir, I want to talk to you.” “What’s botherin’ you, son?” Spence cleared his throat. “You look like a regular guy,” he began. “Now, supposin’ you had a con scientious employe. You’d want to keep her, huh?” “You said it,” the man nodded vigorously. “Now, If you had a person like that and you felt she was compe tent to take care of the store,” Spence took a deep breath and plunged, “would you give her a raise if she was to ask you. Would you?” “Guess so,” the man acknowl edged. “How much?” “Well,” the man’s thick shoulders heaved. “Maybe ten,” he said at last. “You heard him," Spence turned triumphantly toward the girL “I’m a witness.” She nodded. Her eyes were glow ing. “If you’ll excuse me, son,” the man was saying, “I’m kind of busy. I got a lot of deliveries to make.” He handed a paper to the girL “Here’s the biff,” he remarked. “Thanks. I’ll file it. Oh, yes,” Spence saw her reach Into her started—I couldn’t stop you. How about having a super special—with me?” Spence visioned maraschino cher ries floating on a rose pond above submerged raspberries. He also dis covered lights in her eyes, flashes of radiant promise. He placed her arm in his. The action seemed most naturaL “I’m glad you’ve re formed,” he grinned. They went back into the store. Grace Noll Crowell ,'4 ABOVE the city street a church’s spire Zjl Js climbing its bright ladder to the sky. The steeple's slates glow red, its tip is fire, A single burning finger there, and high Above tint peak a flying white dove swings, A scarlet light upon its lifted wings. These are God's emblems, and they call to men Above the darkening shadows of the street. Beckoning to them, bidding them hope again. Bidding them stay a moment their swift feet, Calling to them to lift their eyes, and there. Seeing that pointing finger, breathe a prayer. And the white bird flying heavenward bids them cease The clamor of their hearts and find His peace. - ?■> ■ N'llld ^ So You Think You Have Moods A young navy lieutenant, not too long out of the service, told me over the luncheon table the other day that he became very much discour aged over himself. I pointed out he hadn't any reason to be. He has a good job. He’s doing it weff. “That’s just the trouble,” he said. “I’m not doing it well. I know I’m not. One day I feel sure that I have everything a man needs to be suc cessful and happy. Then the next day I’m clear down in the dumps. It’s my moods. Isn’t there anything a person can do about moods?” I told him, as I am presently going to tell you, that of course there is something anyone can do about his moods. I told him further more something he never heard of before, that having moods is per fectly normal, perfectly naturaL and a good rather than a bad thing, We know a good deal more about moods now than we did a few years ago, for now we know that at cer tain times we are going to be happy, regardless of how things break for us, while at others we are going to feel depressed, also regard less of how things break. Largely responsible for this In formation is Dr. Rexford Hershey of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the first scientists to study our emotional curves. By his researches Dr. Hershey proved that we all have our ups and downs and these occur with regu larity. We are elated, cheerfuL pleasant, unpleasant, peevish, grouchy. That is one cycle. Then we become elated, cheerful, pleasant, and so forth, again. Our lives are a series of cycles—emotional cycles. These cycles, moreover, appear with almost exact regularity. With some persons they appear every month; with others every two or three months. Highly emotional people go through their emotional cycles often in less than two-weeks’ time, then start all over again; they are always in a dither. But long or short, each of us has his emotional curve. Maybe you are wondering what you can do to control this curve. You can’t control it, but you can disguise it, so that regardless of how you really feel, you put your best foot forward where the rest of the world is concerned. And how do you do that? It’s sim ple. Just remember that we take our emotions from our actions, not our actions from our emotions. In other words, to feel cheerfuL just act cheerfuL The next time you reach the low point of your emo tional curve, try that. Act cheerfuL talk cheerfuL and you will be cheer fuL Homemade Weighing Bin Speeds Work Device Aids Automatic Feed Handling Setup It is an old saying that all farm equipment was first thought of by a farmer. Whether that saying holds true may be questioned. But it is certain that much of it did come into being as the result of ideas which some farmer had concerning ways to improve and speed up the performance of his various chores. A pertinent example of this fact is shown in the accompanying illus tration. It shows a homemade weighing bin, which was conceived by a Midwestern farmer for use with his automatic feed handling setup. It holds several tons of feed and is fixed to the ceiling by a series of heavy springs and turnbuckles, one spring being located at each corner of the bin in the center of two turnbuckles. Tension on the springs moves a pointer across a scale at the bottom of the bin to indicate weight up to 3,200 pounds. A slide gate at the bottom of the bin permits feed to spill out into a cart in desired quantities. The bin Home-made “weighing bin,” built by Midwestern farmer. Is placed below a chute leading from a two-ton mixer in the barn mow. The entire setup pperates as follows: Whole grain is blown into an overhead bin, from which it flows into a blower-equipped hammermill on the first floor. Ground grain is blown back into the mixer and then drops Into the weighing bin. The mixer and grinder are operated by five-horsepower motors, whereas the whole grain is blown into the storage bin by tractor power. Automatic Egg Washer Prof. F. B. Wright demonstrat ing the new egg washing machine developed at Cornell university. The device makes it possible for two persons to wash, dry and pack five cases of eggs an hour, five times as fast as the same jobs could be done by band. As most poultrymen and their wives spend from two to four evenings a week cleaning eggs by hand, this ma chine will result in a big saving in time. Formula Computes Feed Required for One Hen High egg production clearly take, more feed, but just as clearly the feed brings a greater return in terms of eggs than the same amount fed to low-producting hens. Dr. L. E. Card of the Illinois experiment sta tion explains how to compute the total feed required for one hen for a year: Multiply ihe live weight of the bird, in pounds, by 8. Add 25. Divide the total number of eggs the hen lays by 7 (e. g. 105 divided by 7 equals 15) and add this figure to the total obtained by the first two steps. An example: Weight of hen—5 pounds. Five times 8 equals 40; plus 25 equals 65. Hen lays 105 eggs per year. Di vide this figure by 7. Result 15. Total feed required — 80 pounds. (65 plus 15). Plowing Is Major Step In Garden Pest Control It’s smart gardening to double- cross garden insect pests by late faff spading or plowing in prepara tion for spring planting. Plowing Is one of the most important steps in insect control because it interferes with the natural and normal activi ties of the insects for living through the winter. Insects wintering above the ground can stand severe cold but not burying in moist cold soff, and those below cannot live. SCRIPTURE: Acts 20:17-38; Ephesians 5:6-21. DEVOTIONAL READING: Phlflppiani 4:4-9. Christian Character Lesson for March 14, 1948 Dr. Newton W HO is the most valuable person in your community? In many communities it has come to be the custom to select the Man of the Year or the Wom an of the Year, the idea usually being to name the person, through a process of sampling of pub lic opinion, who has rendered the out standing service of the year. Sunday’s lesson is a dramatic scene out of the long ago, picturing a com munity’s tribute to a truly great man, the apostle Paul. Read Acts 20:17-38, and you will have the story. • • • LOVED AND HONORED T HE first impression I get from this story is the fact that these people of Ephesus loved Paul. They loved him enough to lay aside their work and hasten to the near by seaport of Miletus to see him for the last time, and to bow down in his presence and honor him. Why did they thus love Paul? Because he had told them about God. You need but read again the record of Paul’s ministry in that important city of Ephesus to be reminded of how greatly he had served them in the name of Jesus. Loved and honored! What a trib ute to the worth' of Christian char acter! Wouldn’t you appreciate the tribute which they paid Paul as the goal out yonder to which you strive? Boys and girls of today may thus be honored tomorrow, if they will live for Jesus as Paul did. • * 4> THE POWER OF RIGHT LIVING P AUL not only told the Ephesians how to live, but illustrated day by. day in his own life what he preached to them. The most elo quent sermons are not spoken, but lived. “What you are speaks so loud ly I can’t hear what you say.” The boy and man who plays the game straight are putting into practice what the teacher and preacher proclaims on Sunday. The power of right living will win its way today, just as it did in the long ago when Paul witnessed for Jesus in Ephesus. It was not easy to live for Christ In Ephesus, nor is it easy to live for him in Chicago or Los Angeles or Boston or Miami, but it is the one way to ultimately impress the world of the reality of Christianity. • » • PAUL’S CONSUMING PASSION W E ARE what we are becoming. and never was this axiom of life more powerfully illustrated than in the case of Paul. “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward caff of God in Christ Jesus,” Philippians 3:14. And in Ephesians 5:6-21, Paul reviews the qualities of conduct which produce worthwhile character, admonishing all Chris tians to strive for these qualities. “I live, yet not I, Christ liveth in me,” is another of Paul’s watchwords, and still again, *T can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me.” It was the consuming passion of his life to embody the teachings of Christ in his words and in his works. It is conceivable that the people at Ephesus had come to see Christ in the life of Paul, and that his daily ministry in their midst convinced them that God was in Christ recon ciling the world unto himself. • • • • WHAT AM I WORTH? T HE question then emerges, What am I worth to my com munity? When I come to the end ol the journey, will the people who know me best honor and love me for what I have done? I can see the people of Ephesus bowing on the dock at Miletus, kissing this weary old servant of the Lord. It is a beautiful scene. This tribute meant more to Paul than all the gold of Ephesus would have meant. It was compensation of abiding worth to him. And what is vastly more important, it was glory to God which must have evoked the praise of the angels about the great White Throne. * * • (Copyright by the International Cotmtil of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.
