LENTEN MEDITATION <Rev. Robert J. Hoevel assistant pastor St Mary's) 1 John IV: 11. "Behold, if Cod has so loved us. we ought to love one another.' God's love is unlimited I- was due to God's love that man was created. And how nobly God did create man. according to His own image and likeness Immediately, man wanted to be God. Because such was man's desire, Adam and Eve sinned. But divine love promised man a Redeemer; it was due to love that Jesus was born as a help! -s infant in the stable at Be'hlehem. Through His private and public life, divine love smiled generously upon the hearts of m»'U. Finally this same abundance of love unfit d Him to th* cross. Jesus could have escaped the mob at Calvary. Rather. He allowed liatu to 4>e an iiistium- ti'al cause of Hi* death, but love inadt It essentially a sacrifice, a redtinp'ive sacrifice. Jesus told us very clearly, "I am th< Vine, you arc the branches." A branch cut off from th< vine ceases to live Since He shares His life. Hi« grace. His bb-sslngs with each human branch, our lives should give evidence of these gifts, we must s'rive to Imltatr Him. Our Divine Model hated no one, envied no one, was jealous of uo one. was never pretentious. He became Man that we could be lik>- unto God. He died that we might live. We hive a Divide Pattern to imitate. If we will return love with love, we will treat our fellow man as a living branch of th* Vine of Divine Love. Jesus is Love

SYNOPSIB A mysterious assassin cut short the gay career of Syria Verne, artists’ model, just as she was answering the telephone in her penthouse apartment to which she had returned soon after midnight fob lowing a quarrel with Pierre Sturgis, art photographer. The police could find no gun. significant fingerprints, nor other evidence of an intruder. The evening of ths mur dar. Syria had met an old friend, Argus Steele, author and former detective, in the Penguin Club where he was dining with Ellen Curtis, a model. Syria left, accompanied by Sturgis. Bill Carstairs, 111. playboy, introduced hit latest blonde, Dorry, to Ellen and Argus. Later, Ellen found Dorry In the ladies’ room, weeping because her Bill “was phoning that awful Syria Verne again.” Ellen noticed a snubnosed revolver in Dorry's open purse. . . . Nest morning, Ellen phoned Argue to tell him that Syria had been murdered. Police Inspector Grsnge visited Steele ae the investigation got under way. Later, Ellen introduced Argus to Roger Flagg, in the latter’s model agency- After discussing the late Syria from severs! angles. Flagg invites Argus to enamine his office files, remarking that *T won some money playing poker last night and I'd like to take you two to lunch.” CHAPTER NINE "I Just ate breakfast," Argus said, “but I could bo talked into a martial." “Before sundown. Argus ? I’m ashamed of you!” exclaimed Ellen “Well, ft's sundown in oom* places on the globe.” drawled I Argus. “It just depends on what time you go by. Personally. I’m on Chinese Eastern Standard." “Oh, I forgot," said Ellen. "I have a 12:30 appointment. Could I take a rata check on that invite tfOBl" "Sura," Flagg agreed. "Any time. But come beck here before you leave." Elton and Argue toft the office. ’ She led the way to a large room , with wide windows. Four girls • were sitting behind one desk. The desk had ten telephones on it ’Tboee are the girls who make the appoimmetts for u«,” Ellen explained. “ Wher. a photographer rails up and asLs for Mia* So-and-ee, ' th* girl* writ* an the model's chart i th* hour at tha appointment and what cloth** she’s to bring.

Ellen looked under the Vs. “No, there it is. Gosh, she had a busy schedule today! She had four appointments. One of them was with Pierre Sturgis. She certainly did a lot of work for him.” Some models drifted in to check up on their nppointmente. Ono of them was a tall, broad-shouldered young man with collar-ad features. "Hello, Tom! How’s tricks ?” was Ellen's greeting. "Okay!" said Tom. "How goes It with you?" Ellen replied with another affirmative clichi and the conversation ended. She returned to Argus. “Ixwks as though I have some real competition there," he said. "That’s a good-looking boy."
