Today’s Pattern

Dy;

There's nothing like a trim, tailored shirtwaist dress to slip on of a busy winter morning. It won't crush and muss under your heavy coat, and it always looks smart and businesslike. ; ‘This design, Pattern 8356, has individual little touches about it that give a refreshingly different flavor

to the classic shirtwaist style. Note that the pockets are notched to match the collar, and that it has the graceful new gored skirt. . Make this in both silk and thin wool—faille, tie silk, flat crepe, flannel or wool crepe—in some bright, pretty color like violet, fern green, Burgundy or teal blue, to contrast with your dark winter coat. The dress will have a finished profesionally tailored look. Pattern 8356 is designed for sizes 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50. Size 34 requires 44 yards of

Text: Exodus 20:17; Luke

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. : Editor of Advance HE 10th Commandment is against covetousness, and here, as in the former lesson, its teaching is emphasized in a story taken from the New Testament and in a very wise homily by St. Paul in his letter to Timothy. g : It would seem obvious, in a primitive society where the conditions affecting all were very much alike, that wherever a man sought to grab more than his fellows to get unusual advantage or when he became eager of possessing what others could not have the whole social structure would be very greatly weakened. If we could see our complex society today with clear vision, we would understand that covetousness is just as deep and deadly a sin today as it ever was, and that it is the destroying force beneath much of our social inequalities and .injustice. : Covetousness is a social sin, but it is equally a personal sin in its effect upon the man who practices it. It is a social sin because it may have serious results upon one’s fellowmen. The man who has an inordinate desire for wealth, or for possessing what other men have, may create all manner of distress and social injustice by his covetousness. What he does not always see is that, even where he gains his ends, he blasts and destroys his own. soul. “#4 8 : OVETOUSNESS may be the un-

‘came to Jesus, asking Him to have

his brother divide the inheritance with him. We do not know all the circumstances or details, but Jesus evidently sensed the fact that this man was poisoning his own life by some false sense of injustice or by some covetous spirit. : So He said: “Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?” It was in this connection that He particularly emphasized the sin of covetousness and the fact that a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things that he possesses. - He proceeded, then to tell the story of the successful farmer, the man who was going to pull down his barns and build greater and take his ease and enjoyment out of the things that he had built up over

COUNCIL DECRIES JAP ARMS SALES

BUFFALO, N. Y,, Dec. 10 (U.P.). —The Federal Council of Churches, closing its biennial convention today, called upon Secretary of State Hull to use his influence to persuade manufacturers to “discontinue voluntarily” the sale of war supplies to Japan. Deploring the “aggression of the armed forces of Japan in China” and the “frequent and widespread outrages against the civilian population,” the council adopted a resolution urging Christians to pray that “the councils of justice and

Death made all his prosperity and the things he had stored up mean nothing to him. But even in death, if he had sought treasure in heaven, there would have been some satisfaction in his life and some real heritage of goodness.
