MR. COE'S COINCIDENCE
By Denny McClung
A S HE LAY listening to the early
morning sounds of the city,
memory of the night before came
flooding back over him.
He had pulled up at Jane’s
home, run up the walk and punched
the belL
“Good evening, Mrs. Lynch. Is
Jane ready?”
“I’m sorry, Jim, but she left
about half an hour ago with a
Mr. Coe.”
“Didn’t she leave any message
for me?”
“No, not a word.”
*T see. And you don’t know who
this Mr. Coe is?”
“No. she didn’t say. But he got
here about twenty minutes after
he called.”
“Well, tell her I was here.**
“I will. Goodnight.”
He was angry. Angry and sur
prised. Angry because Jane had
broken their date, and surprised
that she had. This was the first
date with him that she had ever
broken and he could find no ex
planation.
He parked his car in an all-night
lot and went to a movie.
He left the theater and stopped
at a small juke-joint for pie and
coffee. Ten minutes later he am
bled out of the place and came
to an abrupt halt. He could hardly
believe his eyes when he saw Jane
standing by the window of a small
tobacconist next door.
“Hello, Jane,” he said.
“Oh—oh, Jim. Why, hello,” she
replied, a little too brightly.
“I stopped by for you.”
“You did? Well, you see, Mr.
Coe called, and — well, he asked
me to go to a play with him.”
“I see.”
“Please run along, Jim. I’ll ex
plain later. He just stepped in here
to get some cigarettes. Don’t start
a scene.”
“A scene? Don’t you think I can
do any better than that?”
But it was too late. Mr. Coe
stepped from the shop and there
was nothing for Jane to do but
Introduce them.
“Robert, this is James Garrity;
Jim, Robert Coe.”*
Jim stifled his anger and they
said their hello’s. Then Jim said,
“Well. Mr. Coe. it’s been a pleasure
to meet you, but I really must go.”
“So soon?” asked Mr. Coe, “But
we should become better ac
quainted.”
“I’m sorry, but I have some
work to do before tomorrow—
business.”
The silence of the room was
shattered by the telephone’s shrill
ringing.
“Jim Garrity,” he mumbled in
to the receiver.
“Mr. Garrity.” a strange voice
said, “listen carefully, this is im
portant. It is now 7:30. I will meet
you in exactly thirty minutes on
Pier 8.”
“Who is this?” Garrity asked.
“I can’t say,” the voice answered.
“What if I don’t come?”
"But you must, Mr. Garrity.
This is very important. I’ll be
waiting.” And the line went dead.
Twenty-nine minutes later, Gar
rity jumped from a taxi and
sprinted toward the pier.
“What are you doing here?” a
low, musical voice asked when he
reached the docks.
“I might ask you the same ques
tion,” he answered, as he turned
to where Jane was standing. “But
thirty minutes ago some guy called
and told me to meet him here.
Said it was important.”
“What a coincidence,” Jane said.
“About 7:20, Mr. Coe ’phoned and
asked me to come down—to see
him off.
“I really should have told you
last night, Jim. Mr. Coe is a buyer
visiting our store from England
and the boss asked me to see to
it that he had a good time while
he was in town.”
“You don’t mean . .
“What else?”
“But how did he . .
“After I saw you last night I
must have been rather moody.
“He’s on the boat that just cast
off.”

with the Athletics, has been a base

played with Cleveland, Washington,
Chicago and Philadelphia . . . Ope
sports writer, commenting upon
the big deal, remarked that Amer
ican League teams were certainly
swinging mighty blows in their at
tempt' to break up the Yankee
monopoly on championships and
league power—only trouble being
they were swinging with a “feather
duster.” . . . The Brooklyn Dodgers

Writers of Bible
Illustrate Truths
Through Symbols
QNE thing about the Bible that
many people forget is that it
is an Eastern book.
The daily language and litera
ture of the East has always been
full of figures and symbols very
different from much of our
prosaic, Western liberalism.
The prophets frequently used*
figures of speech and symbols to
express truth.
The parables of Jesus wers
true to life and revealing in the
truth, concerning God and man
that Jesus sought to, impart, but
they did not depend upon the
incidents described having ac
tually happened.
It was “a certain man” who
went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho, and it might have been
any man so far as the truth and
the teaching were concerned.
The parables are stories and
teachings for today, and nut just
stories of something that hap
pened long ago. Their signifi
cance is not as historic inci
dents, but as spiritual tales, or
parables, with universality of
application.
Take, for instance, the account
of how Eve was created from
the rib of Adam. Here is how
one great Biblical teacher in
terprets it. ' *
He suggests that the creation
of woman from man’s side meant
that she was to be his equal and
helpmate; not from the head was
, she created that she should lord
over him, nor from the foot, that
he should dominate her.
This interpretation is in har
mony with the high esteem in
which women were held among
Jews and in contrast with their
inferior position among many
other peoples.
The story of the beginning of
sin symbolizes the subtle and
easy temptation of those made in
the image and likeness of God;
the essence of sin in disobedience
to divine command; the knowl
edge of good and evil as the re
sult of the fall, and the emer
gence of man into moral struggle
and moral responsibility.
Dimes, Friends
Aid 4 in Family
Felled by Polio
A Kansas farmer has discovered
that a good neighbor in time of
need is more valuable than silver
and gold.
Robert Stahl and his family
were saved from heartache and
tragedy by the action of good
neighbors.
Stahl, his wife and four chil
dren were busy on their 127-acre
farm near Wichita, Kans. last
summer—getting set for the fall
harvesting when polio struck.
First, little 3-year-old Troy
came down with the disease. Then
Ronald, who is 10, contracted
polio. A few days later, Charles,
12, and Patsey, 14, also went on
the sick list.
. Finally, Mrs. Stahl herself was
afflicted. 1
The whole family was moved
to St. Francis hospital, Wichita,
leaving Stahl alone on his farm.
For a while, he didn’t know
what to do. The financial burden
had been lifted through March of
Dimes funds but the burden of
work remained.
Then his neighbors volunteered
to take over his farm until the
family was out of danger.
These neighbors pitched in and
Stahl went to town. For days,
he kept a vigil at the bedsides of
his wife and children.
With the continued help of that
other good neighbor, the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly
sis, the family began to improve.
Stahl went back to his farm
comforted by the knowledge that
his family was being cared for.
His neighbors had done a won
derful job of keeping things going
on the farm. So he was able to
carry on.
Today Mrs. Stahl and three of
the children are fully recovered.
Charles, the 12-year-old, still has
one partially paralyzed leg but
Mrs. Stahl hopes he too will soon
be well.
“Then maybe,” she said, “it’ll
all seem like just a bad dream.”
The National Foundation hopes
so, too. That’s why it has launched
a huge polio prevention program
involving gamma globulin and a
trial vaccihe. If the program suc
ceeds, families like the Stahls
may be free of the polio threat
forever.
