WINDERS MS lEXT OF BIBLE FORHjSSENMON Secretary of Church Federation Talks on ‘Burden of Love, Taking for his text John 3:16 and naming his sermon “The Burden of Love,” Dr. C. H. Winders, executive secretary of the Church Federation, Sunday night spoke at the Brookside Park U. B. Church. "One hesitates to use a text that is so familiar and so wonderfully rich as this one,” Dr. Winders said. “What can be said that will .make more luminous and meaningful such a text? “It is a revelation of God, His love, grace and power; it is a revelation of sin, its debasing and destroying effect; it is a revelation of love, its sacrificial serving and saving qualities. One does not wonder that it is called the golden text of the Bible. “Among other things it suggests to us the subject, ‘The Burden of Love.’ God so loved the world that He gave. He gave the very best he had, His only begotten son. Love always' gives and love always gives the best; it gives all. It does not know the word sacrifice. Its gifts are gifts of love and love is not conscious of haking any sacrifice. “It is not fair to call the load which love carries a burden. It is no burden, it is a joy; and only to those who are looking on does it appear as a burden. “Every new love means anew burden; anew home, a child born into that home —these mean the releasing of new affections and the assuming of new responsibilities. Mansfield, in the ‘Widow of Bye Street,’ gives a wonderful picture of suffering love. “The widow who is compelled to give up her only son, stolen from her by the unholy love of an unworthy woman, says, ‘I know a woman’s portion when she loves.’ “Burden of Love” “Why should one be willing to take up the burden of love? Because there is no other way to life. He who refuses to assume this burden and pay this price lives a poor, meager, starved, diminishing life, while love, with its burden, opens to us all the avenues of human development and fulfillment. It is the way of joy and satisfaction because it is the way of increasing life. “Too many are taking the advice of the worldly wise. They are restraining and suppressing those wholesome affections which, when released, mean responsibility, but also mean joy and satisfaction, and they are seeking pleasure, unrestrained by such burdens as wholesome love provides. Many, *oo, are meeting the problems in a spirit of despair.
Answer to Life’s Problems ‘The only great and comforting answer to life's problems created by love is the answer of Christ. ‘Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.’ It is the answer of faith, faith in God and man; it is the answer of hope based upon this faith in an innitely good and gracious heavenly father; it is the answer of love, a iove that will not let us go, and a love in us that will not let others go. “This answer gives meaning to all things. It makes character the end of all efforts: it makes us workers together with God in the fulfilment of our lives and in the fulfilment of God’s purpose for the world The way of life is for all of us the way of love,” he said. FAULT NOT WITH GOD Only 53 Per Cent of People See Inside Church, Says Major Hites. “The fault is not with God if a person is not saved,” Major Earl F. Hites of the Volunteers of America declared in his sermon on “Decision” at the Volunteers of America Chapel, 13 N. Capitol Ave., Sunday night.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Big: Chris Larson, Alaska cannery 'foreman. and the hard-drinkinff Kerri ittance Man meet in a small Alaskan cove. They join a Yannery launch which puts out to answer a distress fligrnal at sea. The Remittance Man forces his sea jacket upon Biff Chris, and finds solaoe in the possibility of freezing to death when he considers h eeannot return to Dorothy and his home in Georgia because of a tragedy. The launch hits rocks. Dorothy NewhaH. Auffustaa, Ga,, is informed by telegram from Pirate Cove. Alaska, that her husband. Peter New hall, was drowned when a cannery launch hit rocks while going to the aid of a ship in distress. Body was identified by papers in his sea jacket and it was buried there. She permits Ivan Ishmin. Russian violinist to call. Peter, it seems, while drunk, had thrown Ishmin’s secretary into the Savannah River after the secretary had interfered in a quarrel between Peter and Ishmin. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mN a moment Ivan himself was standing at her side, his countenance clouded in sympathy for her. She was ever amazed at this man. He was tall and looked slender; but she knew the iron in those long, easily flowing muscles. There was a darkness, a foreign look In his handsome face that fascinated her even as it estranged her, something Oriental and mysterious that she could not exactly trace or analyze. He had come out of Russia at the beginning of the Revolution, and was hai’ed at once as anew master of the violin. Before that time he was widely known in the theater of Petrograd and the Russian court, but he had not cared to seek laurels abroad. yMy dear girl,” he told her, his thin face lighting. He took her hand, bowed and touched it to his Ups. Then they took seats side by side on the big divan. His voice streamed on, comforting, cheering not only with his carefully chosen though swift-flowing words, but by exquisite modulation of its tones. suppose you'll never forgive me, he said at last in a more quiet hour. “I don't see how I owe you anything but gratitude—” 'You know what I mean. You remember—that morning—after the trouble. You remember that when Peter weakened from his drunken sleep and could not the

light on the deck at all, he wanted to stay and fight the thing through the courts? It was I, you remember —of course with your help—who induced him to flee. And his flight has ended—by that." He pointed tj the telegram. “I don’t see how it can be held against you, in the least degree,” Dorothy assured him earnestly. “You were kind—generous—wonderful all the way through." Her voice dropped a tone. “Besides, this is no worse—better, in fact—that he should die doing a decent thing—going \-> the help of a sinking ship—than to die—in the prison on Elbert Street!” “There would have been some way out! Life imprisonment, at the worst—” “Life imprisonment! No, Ivan — not for Peter. Liberty was always a passion with him—with all his race, for that matter —and he’d rather be dead than in prison. I’ve got that consolation at least.” “How amazed I am that this should come from the North when we both supposed he was in South America.” She looked at him quickly. There was no doubt about the genuineness of this amazement. He saw her look of surprise and turned quickly in explanation. “He took such a chance, Dorothy! I had a perfect course laid out for him—one that no one could have followed—but up there, in Americari territory, he was in hourly risk of ar.rest! It frightens me to think of fthe risk he ran—” “But there Is no risk now!” &ne told him grimly. “He’s past a 1 ? that —” “Yes. Perhaps it's for the best. Try not to mourn too much, little girl.” To turn the current of her thought he took his violin—a marvelous thing of shell-like mahogany—from its case, and standing beside the window, he began to play. He was telling her of his love—a love that would go through fire or water, triumph or disgrace. It was a love that glorified her, but yet it some way appalled her, too. It was not the kind of love that Peter had given her—tender, almost fatherly, a tolerant, protective love and yet strong with that eternal

strength of the Anglo-Saxon. Peter had been bitterly jealous at last, but it had taken many little Indiscretions —harmless, truly, but yet doubtless intolerable from his point of view--to make him so. She would ] not da v e play thus with Ivan! His jealousy would be like a firebrand, ills hate like a dagger blade. / CHAPTER 111 Peter's Rescue. When Peter Newhall was hurled Into that awful sea he had no shadow of a dream but that this was his last conscious instant. There was no battling those mountainous waves and the jagged edges of the cruel rocks would destroy him in a moment. Yet, as always in the last degree of crisis, the instant was one of marvelous clarity of thought.
HE "WAS STAGGERING ON THE SHORE. Not merely the physical body strengthens and gathers reserve cower in a crisis. The mental powers fiib likewise enhanced, encompassing a whole world in one glance, *Bi bx cadth of many years in an instant. “It’s the end,” Peter told himself in or e f -,h of blinding light. In that in ( ant he thought of Dorothy. Her h rage was just as plain, just as vivid in that eerie gray dawn as if he had just left her side. The enchanted hours that he had spent with her passed in instantaneous review before him—those hours before Ivan had ever appeared with his heavenly music, before the world had come to be too much with him and with her, the wife at his side. In that terrible instant his heart cried out to her as it had never done in the fullness of their happiness. She wa his own, hl wlfe ; the woman

that God had given him, and he wanted her beyond any reach of words or thought. There was an abiding quality of strength in him yet—for all these last months of debauchery—and his l;ust impulse was in prayer for her. He wanted her destiny to be serene; his last breath of vivid consciousness before he felt the first shattering impact of his body against the crags was given to her, wholly and without reservation. The first blow against the crags almost knocked him unconsck ■ •; thereafter the struggle in that tempestuous sea was like a gray dream. Instinctively he thrashed about in the water to save the killing impact on his head, but he was only partially able to break the force of the blow. The knife edge of the crag sliced down across his face, goug*ing and tearing as >t went, and through the inner passages to his ears he had heard his jawbone crack apart. Again the waves caught him, lifting him high, and again he was sped forward swift a dolphin dash ing through green water. Half conscious, he waited for the shattering blow that would mean the end. But it did not come. The wave spent itself; then as it rolled back, dropped him on gray, smooth rocks that were lifted above the water. In that dim instant he saw the gray line of the shore not a hundred feet beyond. The waves had carried him, as if my miracle, through a gap in the reefs. Instantly a fighting spirit welled back in him; if he could hold on, keep consciousness a moment more, he might easily be washed ashore. The waves caught him up again, lifted him up, and he fought hard against them to avoid the full power of the shattering blow -when they laid him down. He was fifty f?t nearer now, and as the wave v it out, he struggled ahead to avoid being inundated by the next wave. And almost at once he was staggering on the shore, saved as~ if by miracle, In the Icy brightening dawn. Still In his half-dream he shook the salt from his eyes and looked about him. It did not surprise him that a ship should be lying just without the reefs, tugging at her anchor chain, or that closer view should reveal a stout dory manned with a full crew that had evidently been launched In an attempt to rescue drowning men. At first no reasonable explanation for her presence occurred to him: it was simply part of the miracle that had borne him alive through the reefs. Yet in a moment he had guessed the truth; that this was a wandering trader

who had answered the same appeal for help that had sped the Jupiter to her destruction. The ship they had come te save whs beyond the re-ch of help. She was a small, auxiliary schooner; the dawn showed part of her stern and her broken, floating masts where she had gone done. Os the Jupiter there was nothing whatever to be seen. He did not believe his rescue could be accomplished for some moments at least, so he took the only possible course to keep the blood moving in his veins—he got to his feet and struggled up ad down the shore. The fact that the exercise cau;d a more active flow from his wounds could not Vie taken Into consideration It wa* better to risk death from loss of blood than to die swiftlyfgnd surely from freezing. But already the men In the dory had seen him and were trying to push into the little cove between the reefs. Still he ran back and forth, only half-conscious. Blond, rugged men had gathered abut him and were ministering to him when the last of his dim consciousness departed. When he opened his eyes he was on a clean bunk, and a little group of men — none of whom he could ever remember seeing before —were working about him. One of them, he guessed presently, was acting as ship’s doctor; his hands were scrubbed till the skin was pink, he wore a white apron, and his look was very business-like.

He was talking quietly with two of the ship's officers as he sterilized a set of villainous-looking surgeon’s tools. Their conversation drifted faintly to Peter’s ears. “Dis is quite a fe’der in your cap. Bill,” one of the sailors was saying in the good-hu-mored, subdued voice that is the peculiar characteristic of a certain great breed of seafarers. (Continued in Our Next Issue.)
