REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Christ Above All.
Lesson for August 15: Colossians
1: 3-6, 9-20.
Golden Text'. Colossians 1: 17.
The apostle first give thanks un
to God for the faith of the Colos
sians and commends them for their
love toward all saints. He also
writes that he had not ceased to
make mention of them in his pray
ers from the time he had received
such good report of them.
Having thus praised them and
having written of his praying for
them, he urges them to continue
in their good course that they might
attain unto all the fullness of Chris
tian living, that they might be filled
with the knowledge of God’s will,
and walk worthy of God, and be
strengthened with all power, and
might give thanks unto the Father,
who had made them “partakers of
the inheritance of the saints in
light.”
Paul then glorifies God for deliv
erance from the power of darkness
through the “Son of his love,” and
writes an exalted picture of Christ.
In it we learn that God worked
through Christ in the creation of
the world, even as John writes in
the first chapter of his gospel
The matter of great import to
ourselves is that Christ is set forth
as the head of the Church. The
Church is not a merely human in
stitution, to be appraised as any
other institution of men, but is the
divinely ordained organization for
spreading the gospel and perfecting
the saints. Let us. then no longer
depend upon our own plans and
schemes for the church, and give
ourselves freely to Christ to be used
in his service.

BY EDNA MILES
P'AMPUS cashmeres veer away
^ from the classic this fall and
get far more styling than they’ve
had previously.
New necklines, fine detailing
and unusual trim mark the new
designs, all of them in colors
ranging from pastels through the
deep and vivid tones.
A definite departure from the
classic cut of other years is a new
square neckline by Hadley. And
the shawl collar« crossed over in
small yoke effect, can be worn
either up or down. There’s also
a turtle-neck sweater with lacy
weave in such new colors as
Stewart green, Crest purple,
burnt orange and cherry red.
For dressy wear, cashmeres
get fine beading, bright embroid
ery and luxury fur collars. Two-
color braid trim appears on a
box jacket to outline the open
front and sleeves. A “baby shirt”
cashmere has hand picot edging
on neckline, front band and
sleeves.
New in this collection for fall
and winter is a lacy pure cash-
mere stole in a choice of colors
for use as an evening wrap, day
time cover-up or at-home wear
This folds small for easy packing
in a suitcase corner.

Ribbing outlines: neck, sleeves
and hem in this cashmere
sweater with a squared-off
neckline.
This campus sweater in cash
mere gets a new shawl-collar
treatment.

Perry Como Show
On Local Radio
Perry Como joins Mutual’s out
standing roster of singing person
alities Monday, Aug. 31 when the
thrice-weekly PERRY COMO
SHQW is aired over the coast-to-
coast MBS facilities. It will be
heard Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays from 7:45 to 8 p.m., EST
over WKDK.
Como, a million-/record pace
setter, will be heard in a variety
musical that will also feature the
Fontane Sisters, the Ray Charles
Chorus and Mitchell Ayres’
orchestra. Guest stars are also
to be heard from time to time.
The ex-barber—this trade was
his standby while training as a
singer—will be hoard on an MBS
schedule that features such other
popular song stylists as Eddie
Fisher, Curt Massey, Martha Til
ton and Lanny Ross.
For Como opportunity knock
ed twice. His first singing as
signment with Freddie Carlone’s
orchestra in Ohio brought him to
Ted Weems’ attention. And he
signed with the nationally famous
leader, his band appearances in
the late ’30’s marking his first
Mutual network broadcasts.
Weems broke up his aggrega
tion in December, 1942. Como,
tired of knocking around, return
ed to his Cannonsburg, Penna.,
home. There this seventh in a
family of 13 children learned bar-
bering and planned that trade as
his vocation. But things just
weren’t meant to be that way for
him.
A large booking agency induced
him to return to New York and
take over a radio show. This op
portunity was the stepping stone
to his current stardom. His
smooth, highly personable presen
tations of sing-hits of the ’40’s
made him a* night club favorite,
then a motion picture star. And
since ‘43 he’s been an entertain
ment headliner. He’s' won so many
honors he’s hard put to remem
ber them all these days. ,
The Fontane Sisters .— Geri’s
the redhead, Margie’s the blonde
and Bea’s the brunette—are also
small town products. They sang
at Milford, N. J., socials, benefits
and musicals before touring tho
country and gaining fame with an
all-girl unit.
Mitchell Ayres, whose orchestra
is featured on THE PERRY COMO
SHOW, is another recording fav
orite with top dises to his credit
over a score of years.
