This, he seemed to believe, would be swift and inevitable. She w.ould forget his band striking against her, She would even concede that her errors alone were responsible for his violence. She read it, a wild heat in her mind. She whispered: “God! How 1 hate him!” She ground her teeth, holding the page tightly before her, This was the letter: “After your conduct of Saturday night you doubtless fear to return. I am writing this to say that my house is open to you, You may come hack,' You will find the door open and no anger cherished for the reckless manner of your departure. “As your husband I feel it my duty to give you this chance to keep your marriage vows and to remind you that those vows are for life. I wish to safeguard you from the consequences of your defiance and folly, “You probably are In a frame of mind now to appreciate the ease and comfort of the home I have made for you. It is still yours. You need only make up your mind to conduct yourself as a wife should, There will he no quarrel when you do your part, “It is a year now since you have refused all wifely obligations, though you have not hesitated to demand more than wifely privileges. Looking- back, you probably will realize that the benefits of this relationship are on your side, the burdens on mine. You probablv will see that your refusal to accept all guidance, your determination to shirk your manifest duties, are responsible for any and all unpleasantness between ns. I bore with you in the first year of our marriage because of your extreme youth. “I believed that you would learn to appreciate the gravity of the step you had taken: that you would come to realize marriage is a life contraet.

emotional regard, which was great, I wished to found a home. I sought a mother for my children. “From the beginning you have not seemed to understand these aspirations. You seenr-to have entered marriage 'as lightly as you entered flirtations. “But I will remind you that* you can not end it in this casual manner. I have kept sacredly the terms of our contract. 1 require only that you do the sarqe. If you have any lingering thought of a separation dismiss it. You are my wife. I intend to hold you to the promises you made. These promises have a binding power which my principles don’t permit me to ignore. “I would also inform you that the law gives a husband the right to correct his wife when her conduct is unseemly. Any impartial judge will admit that a man may point | out to his wife the dangers of sinokj ing and drinking and advise in matters of propriety. You have, thereI fore, no grounds for running out of | this house as you did last Saturday. I was within my rights and can prove it. “You will gain nothing hut unpleasant notoriety if you make any effort to dispute this. “I am willing to overlook the entire incident, to wipe it out completely. When you return you will find a welcome. I believe you acted on an impulse that you now regret. And I shall overlook the anxiety you caused me and receive you hack. I shall ask no questions." ♦ * * i She twisted the letter .. . rolled jit between her palms—then she ! smoothed it out, phrases leaping at \ her as though written In fire. } The rivht to "‘orrect her! T.. bring ills fist against her cheek! No quarreling if she did her part! Her part was to be his servant; — more obsequious than a dog. Ask for no friends—no liberty—no laughter. She got up and walked to the window, staring at the surf, flinging Its lacy spray against the rocks. It’s not worth thinking about! Go hack to him? She woukl find a welcome! She breathed it? short, flaming gasps. Go back to that house and that sordid relation? No—she wasn’t going back. She wouldn't he starved or beaten into it. She would do as Alice wrote —walk Into the ocean — grimly walk into the ocean first. She fixed her eyes on the waves and fancied herself climbing down the rocks, running along the sands—blindly—reaching the water, hurling herself down. * * * She thought with oppressive quiet: "I could do It!” She remembered the night in Honolulu when she had so nearly drowned —remembered the waters massing against her —breathing the waters, strangling with them —fighting the awful suffocation. She shuddered at the overpowering terror of that sensation. But she repeated, “I could do It.” He meant to hold her for life. But she was gone now. And he would never find her.... never drag her back. She would make sure of this. Suddenly his offer: “I shall ask no questions." came softly into her mind. It made her tremble. She began to laugh, to repeat aloud: “No questions!” She kept laughing. How magnapjmous he fvas!AAbuth —but he thought she had run home that night. Thought she had gone to her mother or to May Arliss. He was sure of her. In his heart positive that she had neither deed nor thought to conceal. He could afford to he generous. Hadn't he married her after a night in a hillside cabin with Timmy! But what if he knew of Ramon? What If he thought she had sped off In the night with another? Sh 4 became quiet—an oppressive heat pulsing outward from her veins. She had left Murillo finally. She had run off here with Ramon. She had no money—not even her clothes. And now? She walked back to the fireplace —impetuously shoving these gnawing thoughts aside. “Now what!” she said, defiantly. “I’m happy! I’m free! I’m gladder than I’ve been in two years! I can get by. Others have—” • • • She picked up the other letters. They were from Ramon —filled with solicitude and eagerness for her happiness. “How T hated leaving you there alone. Were you frightened? But you must rest and don’t worry about anything. Why shouldn’t you he glad, Sandy? What good will it do to regret tho past? None, except to mar the present and the future? Twenty-one is far too early for such a program. Try to forget things that have made you unhappy and take the gladness you can find. There's plenty of it, darling. Nice place, isn’t it? Nice ocean at your feet. I'm hoping to leave on the early train Saturday morning, and, if you invite me, will stay to dinner Saturday night. I love you—love you —you'll make out —" She flushed —read and reread the phrases that seethed her. In the lonely quiet of the room she darnk them up. She saw Ramon as he iiad stacked the dishes, looking at her with a boyish: “I’ve often pictured you here, Sandy. It * seems perfectly natural. Does it to you?” Unthinkingly she pressed the letter against her lips. Immediately this

aroused her. She scoffed, growing more and more fevered. "I'm crazy. It’s so quiet here—so still. But I love him. Oh, you do not! You’re crazy—” She put her hands over her eyes. She was distracted and there was a squeezing and a burning that lay like a claw on her throat . . . that kept digging at her. It was Murillo's letter —one part of It that she tried desperately to Ignore . . . the one true thing he said. It was this: "You seem to have entered marriage as lightly as you entered flirtations. But you cannot end it in this casual manner.” * * * She nodded, her eyes hot and wide fixed on the ceiling. Yes —lightly —breezily—thinking she could get by —what ho! A husband! It was staggering to her now that she had been able 10 think in this manner—that no real effort had ever been made to discipline her. Yes— Isabel had done her best, but she had never realized the complete immaturity of a girl just 19. Sandy appeared grown—appeared rational. And she was, as far as the rationality of a girl of 19 goes— But to herself now, the Sandy of two years ago appeared an appalingly half baked individual. True, she had made promises with no conception of their real solemnity. And these promises were now to ruin the rest of her life?. Murillo could keep her bound. “No. he can’t!” she whispered

Teaching of John's Gospel Explained in This Study
The International Inlform Hujnday School Leaaon for March 28. Review Lennon. By Wm. E. Gilroy, D. I). Editor of The Congregationalist The first great teaching of the Gospel of John Is concerning God and his revelation of himself in human life: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word, was God.” How this Word found expression in the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth Is the theme of the Gospel. It is the purpose of the Gospel to set forth the various elements in the witness and testimony of, and to, Christ; the witness of his own gracious personalty winning disciples to himself and establishing the little circle that became the nucleus of the Christian Church; the witness of various individuals who came under the power of his ministry; the witness of Jesus’ mighty works; and the witness, above all, of his sublime teachings, of ,hls sacrificial death, and his resurrection. The great theme of this Gospel Is the new life. It is manifest in the experience of Andrew and Peter Philip and Nathaniel, whose hearts glow with anew joy as they come under the influence of their divine friend. It is the theme of the conversation of Jesus with Nicodemus. It dominates the story of his great sermon to the woman of Samaria, with its insistence upon the most

fundamental of all truths, that God is spirit and that they worship him must worship him in spirit and In truth. Typical Verse Possibly the most typical vprse to characterize the whole Gospel of John is found in the words of Jesus: "The words that I speak unto you are spirit, they are life.” How significant this statement becomes is seen as we follow the Intimate teachings of Jesus concerning his relationship to men and God. He is the Good Shepherd, laying down his life for his sheep that they may have life and salvation. He Is the way to God, bringing immortality to light and triumph. And the resurrection is but the seal and witness to his teaching and revelation. The theme of the Gospel of John is the divinity cf Christ. But we ought to realize how beautifully this Gospel sets forth his true humanity and the rich intimacy of his relationship with men and women in the ordinary walks and experiences of life. Not only have we the blorioua revelation of the upper room, hut we have the picture of the sympathetic Christ In contact with the home at Bethany. The sublimity of the teaching of the Gospel of John would lose almost all of its meaning and significance were It not for the profound truth that the Gospel emphasizes.

that all this sublimity Is brought near to the lives and homes of men everywhere. He is divine to make us divine, nnd whether or not the words came from the same writer, the comment in John's epistle is a true rendering of the whole spirit and purpose of John's Gospel: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and It doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall he like him; for we shall see him as he is.” Expressing Divinity It is entirely in harmony with the purpose of Christ In coming to the world that his divinity should thus be vitally expressed in human contacts and in terms of human experience. The divinity of our Lord Is not a theoretical. speculative thing, something about which man may engage In controversy nnd quarrel. All the divinity of His life was revealed before men thnt He might show them the way to God. No man truly believes in the divinity of Jesus who is not seeking through close contacts with Jesus to make his own life divine. It is the privilege of Christ’s disciples to become “partakers of the divine nature.” We cannot be too insistent upon the richly human aspects of John’s Gospel. Many have tended to think of Luke's Gospel as pre emlently expressing the hmumanity of Jesus.
