Social Service At Its Best Is Found In The Churches Multitude Os Unsalaried Workers Who Toil Tirelessly For Human Welfare —- The Farce Os Worldly Men’s “Approving” Religion —- (jetting Down To Bed Rock.

I By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Condescendingly patting the Lord Almighty on the head la nowadays a favorite gesture of public men. They feel a glow of aelf-righteous pride that their vast influence has been exerted on the side of God. They approve religion—but do not practice it. Deficient in a sense of humor, such men do not perceive the absurdity of their attitude, or its futility. For the Infinite Father must count it presumption and folly and utter dishonesty for a man to speak words of tribute to Him that are not backed by a godly life. Down the ages come thundering the per-1 tinent words of the Prophet Sam-! uel: "Behold, to obey is better than I sacrifice." Great gifts and the com-, mendatory phrases are no substi- 1 tute for Christian discipleship. The only possible way to honor God is | to obey Him. He who sits enthroned in the highest heavens has no need of the insincere praises of men whose lives flout His will. | Getting Down To Bed Rock | During a dizzy era, the Church ! made much of these encomiums. A ' few kind words about religion from a prominent political) or a leader i in business were sure to be quotI ed in many sermons, and in the reI ligious press. Nowadays, however, i a mood of realism has come upon , the world. Praise of the Church I from men who never attend her | services is seen to be hollow mockery. Shallow generalizations about I religion are recognized as meaningless. There is a new accent, in ecclesiastical utterances and by I present day prophets, upon the indispensability of personal loyalty | to Christ as the bed-rock founda- ■ tion of religion and reform. In many denominations, and in I the Christian Endeavor Movement,; the day's watchword is “Back to. Christ,” or “Forward with Christ.” I |lt seems to be newly recognized! I that religion is not a hazy thing, of I | vague sentimentality £ but that the: I essential foundation of Christian ' |ity is Jesus Christ, the Divine Sav-| lour of the world. As Paul writes, in our Lesson text, “For other foun- • dation can no man lay than that 1 which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Only as we return to this basis may we hope to see religion really flourish in the land. Merchandising Piety Once, in Turkey, I met a young missionary who was bewildered and disillusioned because he was expected to do a full day's drudgery in a mission school. He had thought that being a missionary was merely talking piety! His previous experiences, as a coddled “good" young man, had led him to ( believe that nothing much more was expected of him. Needless to say, he has been returned to the homeland as unfit for missionary work. Without seeming unkind or overcritical. may I hot enter a protest against the vogue of trying to turn every outstanding young Christian into a full-time, salaried religious worker? Too often this seems like merchandising piety. Christianity today has too many salaried officers; and not enough men and women who can say, with William Carey, “My business is serving the Lord; 1 cobble shoes to pay expenses.” There is need for missionaries in pagan lands; there is greater need for vital, effective disciples of Jesus in every workshop, home, school and office. Ages ago it was the usage for pious folk to retreat into monasteries and convents; today’s call is for equally devoted Christians to enter heartily into the world's affairs, there to live a sincerely religious life and to do active services for the Master. Our "full time Christian workers” are mostly in demand as self-sustain-ing servants of God in the midst of the sweeping, swirling currents of the life of today. Best "Social Workers” “Social servi.ee” has become a profession during the past, filly years. Before ever this term came into use, there were millions of meu and women who. for the love of Christ, were doing hopeful deeds —caring for the sick and the poor, comforting the sorrowing, serving «♦»»»**** .♦*»*»**♦ ♦ The Sunday School Lesson for November 21 is: "Christian Workers." 1.C0r.3:10-16; Ga1.6:6-10- .»«»»*♦** »»♦•**♦**

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1937.

I neighbors in need, and standing for I law and order and decency. Even i todqpr, despite oi|r multitude of trained social service workers, the ; greater amount of helpfulness com- ! es from the unpaid efforts of women and men tn whose hearts burns ] the love of God. Tarry for a moment to consider the social value of the tireless, I selfless work of the more than two j million Sunday School teachers in : the United States and Canada. Week after week, whatever the weather, and despite the conflicting calls upon their time, they give themselves to the task of in- | structlng and inspiring children I and adults upon life's deepest essi entials. Many of them attend train- ' ing classes and spend money for Lesson helps; and give time to preparation. They visit their pupils in their homes, and are to them true friends in every sort of need. Robert Raikes. the Gloucester, England. newspaper editor who founded the Sunday School, had no other aim than social service to the I I needy children of his city's slums, | and that conception has been filled I and vastly enlarged. Consider all the varied forms of | what we now catalogue as “social service” which are being done by' the women of the Churches for! the needy of their neighborhoods, j of the nation and of the world.: Were these to be dramatized it I would amaze the public. Christian. women have magnificently heeded I the Apostle's injunction, in our I Lesson, “So then, as we have op-1 portunity, let us work that which j is good toward them that are of the household of faith.” It All Comes Back It has often been said that the Lord never lets Himself get into debt to any man. Whoever gives to God, of substance or of service, •always gets baiok more than he | gave. The reflex of Christian work i is seen in the character of the work- | ers. Uncounted myriads of Chyis- ’ tians have come to strength and ! beauty of character because of | their activities. The task shapes | the man as truly as the man shaples the task. Dr. Maltbie D. Babi cock once gave this recipe for growth, in the form of an acrostic: G o R ight O n W orking It is all in our assigned Lesson Scripture. As Paul wrote to the Galatians. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap .... And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. ’ — I SEVEfA SENTENCE SERMONS He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more, but he who loses his courage loses all. —Cervantes. Be virtuous while you are young; and in your age you will be honored. —Dandemis. • • • We see Him as he moved With what sublime repression of Himself Thro’ all this tract of years Wearing the white flower of a blameless life. —Alfred Tennyson. * ♦ * ’ Books are the true Elysian fields where the spirits of the dead converse, and into these fields a mortal may venture unappalled.—Alexander Smith. * * • I will strengthen thee; yea.

CHAPTER XXI The picture was completed but it would be weeks yet before the finished product was previewed and released. Three months had passed since the signing of Lucy Lee’s contract and already rumors were circulating via the grapevine route that Supreme Pictures were not going to take up their option on her services at the expiration of six months. The gossips rolled the gratifying morsel under their avid tongues. Hadn't they predicted that Lucy Lee Carter, like most beauty-prize winners, would never make the grade? “My dear, she may be pretty—although that’s a matter of taste, and personally I don’t care for those dreamy brunettes—but the girl simply hasn’t got anything else! She certainly can’t act. And as for personality ... it takes more than big brown eyes and wavy hair to make the fans sit up and take notice, these days. Why, do you know, I heard they were cutting out most of her stuff in Neville Preston’s picture. They say she’s lousy!” “The face on the cutting room floor, eh?” “Yeah, I heard from a boy friend of mine who’s a cutter over on the Supreme lot that Carter was about washed up. They may give her a chance in Preston’s next picture and they may not. Depends on how loud he squawks for her, I suppose. Do you think he is still that way about the wench?” “After three months? Don’t make me laugh! But did your hear about Adrienne Page?” “You mean that blonde—a kind of a cousin or stepsister or something to the Carter gal?” “Yeah. Looks as if Supreme was gonna sign her up to a contract on I the strength of a bit she played in the Preston opera. They say she’s holding out for more money. Some bird named Ames is handling her and he claims he will boost her salary to four hundred as a start. Not bad, after making only one picture, if they can outsmart Supreme.” After the completion of the picture, Neville Preston went on a flying trip to New York to see a play which had recently opened and was the biggest hit of the season. The studio had bought the play and there | was a possibility that Preston would be given the direction. It all depended ob how his first picture shaped up. Whether or not it was “box-office.” y Now that the picture was finished, Lucy Lee was restless and nervous, missing the constant strain and excitement to which she had grown accustomed during those weeks when the production was progressing. Although no one had told her so, she suspected that the results of her first screen appearance were not entirely pleasing to the studio officials. She found the entire atmosphere on the Supreme lot had changed as far as she was concerned. There was less cordiality even in the greeting of the man at the information desk and people did not hail her in so friendly a fashion as they used to do. Even Don Ames appeared less interested in her career than before. Most of his efforts were devoted to

Pearl’s publicity and each time a story or mention of “Adrienne Page” appeared in print, Pearl’s undisguised exultation caused Lucy Lee to feel for the first time in her life that most devastating of emotions—jealousy. * When she heard them talking about the fat contract they meant to wangle out of Supreme Pictures she wanted to scream. Nobody was worrying about her contract or what happened to her at the end of six months! Sometimes she wondered fleetingly about Clyde. He was no doubt back in Carterton by now, satisfied to live in that sleepy village for the rest of his life. Perhaps she might have been homesick for Clyde and Rosemead, but there was always the thought of Neville Preston to crowd the past out of her mind. Neville, at least, had not changed. Thoughtful and charming as ever, he always made her feel as though she were an important and interesting person. Since his rescue of her, with the subsequent publicity and the hints of romance between them, he had begun to stir her imagination as no one else had ever done. She thought of hiip more often and in a different way. Now that he was out of town she missed him terribly, dreamed of his return. “What’s the matter with you, Lucy Lee?” Pearl demanded one day as they were driving down the Boulevard enroute to join Don Ames at the Brown Derby for lunch. “You’ve been sitting there with that far-away look for blocks and this is the third time I’ve spoken to you without getting an answer. Snap out of it.” Each day Pearl insisted upon lunching or having dinner in some place frequented by the great and the near great of pictures. Today she was byway of being the Derby’s main attraction, for the morning newspapers and the daily trade journals had carried the announcement of her new contract with Supreme Pictures. They were met at the door by Ames, the usual broad grin upon his face and the inevitable sheaf of papers under his arm. The manager, bowing low and greeting them by name, led them to a table near the center of the room. No sooner were they seated than Ames spread the newspapers out and began reading from them in a tone loud enough to be heard by everyone within a radius of fifteen feet. Suddenly Lucy Lee cried out: “Why, my goodness gracious! There comes Clyde ...” she was staring in amazement toward two men who had just stepped into the restaurant. “At least I think it is. Only he looks so different. Yes ... It is Clyde!” “You mean that tall lad with Bruce Loring?” asked Ames. “Who is he? The man, woman or child who lunches with Bruce can swing on my gate any old time.” The men were coming nearer now and Ames gasped in surprise as he recognized Clyde. % “Why, if it isn’t the servicestation chappie from the old home town . . . ankling into the Brown Derby with none other than the great and only Bruce Loring! Well, they say anything can happen in Hollywood—and now I hslieve it!” Pearl, leaning forward, intercepted the newcomers as they were

about to pass the table going toward one of the secluded booths ranged along the sides of the room. Her voice was sweet as honey and her face glowed with heartfelt welcome. “Why Clyde, my dear boy, what a delightful surprise this is! We : thought you had gone back to Carterton. Here's Lucy Lee . . . and we’re both so happy to see you. Aren’t we, dear?” “Why, yes . .of course,” Lucy Lee stammered. So adroit was Pearl’s handling of the unexpected situation that in a moment there had been general introductions and vague explanations, and the two men were seated at the table instead of in a booth. Inside of an hour all Hollywood would • know that Adrienne Page and Lucy Lee Carter had lunched with Bruce Loring, the most sought-after man of the moment in all filmdom. The astonishing rise of Bruce Loring to stardom and a popularity among the fans comparable only to that of the lamented Rudolph Valentino and Wallace Reid bad been an outstanding event in Hollywood annals. It was one of those miracles which occur just often enough to keep the belief in fairy tales alive. After various futile attempts to crash the pictures Loring had been ready to call quits and return to New York. He was an actor who had played with some degree of success on the stage and his complete failure to obtain even a hearing in the studios had brought him to the point of utter disgust.
