Ed liked bridge; Barbara liked to read. But Barbara was a this year’s model wife and she eagerly perfected herself in the game until Ed might be proud of her. On odd Thursday nights, however, when Ed went to the meeting of the Exalted Elephants of Englewood (they had started their married life in Englewood a year before) Barbara smeJred cold cream on her face and neck, had tea and toast and jam for dinner and settled down comfortably with the latest detective

When the Progressive Rate Reduction went into effect last January, it cut the cost for the first block of kilowatt-hours to 6 cents. On July Ist, the second reduction in this block was made, reducing it to 5%; cents a kilowatt-hour. The final rate, in effect after December 31, 1939, will be only 5 cents for this first step. The low rate for additional consumption above 30 kilowatthours will be continued.

novel. By to in.the -morning when Ed returned across the city Barbara was usually sitting wideeyed and anxious lest in some way she be a murder victim like the hero or heroine in the tale she had read. “I called you up,” Ed said one Thursday night, or rather Friday morning, “and you didn’t answer the telephone. I thought maybe you’d forgotten your book and had gone to the movies with Stella.” “I just guess not,” Barbara said decidedly. ‘I get only one night a week to read, and I'm not going to waste that chattering over the telephone with anybody.” ‘“You mean to say you deliberate ly didn’t answer the phone?” “That’s just axactly what I mean,” she laughed, dimples dancing in and out of her firm 'checks. “Neither did I answer} the door.” 1

Notre Dame, victorious in its first five starts against strong opposition, apparently is on the road to another great season. The Irish, not as strong defensively as in past years, have a versatile offense
“Bah!” said Ed. “You sound like a Wednesday night book review. Give me people—real, live talking folks—any time rather than a book written at so much a word!” “I’ll give you nothing,” laughed Barbara merrily, ‘“‘nothing except a request for a new fur coat or maybe g new car.” It got so that people would telephone on odd Thursdays just to see whether. or not Babs would answer that telephone., It was useless, though, Within the apartment Babs, grinning at the telephone like the rascally little modern; that she was, sat coldcreamy and blissful with the latest detective thriller in her hands. Then came the Thursday night. Ed opened the front door with his key and stepped inside to find Babs sitting on the floor near the door.
“I guess,” she said unsteadily; “I guess I've killed a man. They’ll probably hang me, Eddie ’dear, unless vou can get me that new fur coat and some spiffy ‘clothes to impress the jury of- my

innocence. = I—l—l've k-k-k--killed a man!” t And Babs was old-fashioned enough to faint at that moment right into Ed’s arms. He saw the man stretched out on their one ‘and only Persian hall runner—an Tugly gash in his chin where Babs had evidently hit him with something or other.
“You see,”” Babs = explained while- they were waiting for the police, ‘‘the telephone kept ringing and ringing and ringing, but I kept on reading my book and didn’t answer it. When I got to the third murder, though, I got kind of a scary feeling and I reached over to the writing desk and picked up that heavy inkstank that Aunt Orinda gave us for a ‘wedding gift. I thought if any one tried to murder me I'd throw that at him.” Here she stopped and shivered as the man on the floor stirred slightly. : ‘“Maybe maybe he’s not dead after all,”” she whispered. “Oh—if I K-Kllled g man—"’ : “Where did the ink-well hit him?”’ asked Ed practically. ‘““Well,” Babs went on, ‘‘after the telephone had rung for a long time the doorbell rang and I didn’t pay any attention at all. Then a key was put info the lock very gently and the first thing I knew the front door opened and this man poked his head in. l— I—I tried to yell, but no yell would come, and so I threw the ink-well as hard as I c¢ould and‘ it hit him right on the side of his chin.” siod
“Um,” murmured Ed in some satisfaction, “He’ll come out of it all right. He probably never knew what hit him.” ’ Eq laughed and cuddled her close to him just as the police patrol clanged up to the lower doorway.
' “It's Slinky Simms!’’ muttered ‘the first officen. “Well, well, well ‘la.dy, you made a right nice haul, iiyt you’ll let me congratulate you ma’am. Rang you up on the telephone, probably before you got home.”
“Oh, I was right here,” Babs said calmly now. “I had a good book, you see, and I didn’t want to be bothered answering the door and the phone.” “Well!"”” gasped the officer. “Well! That’s Slinky Simm’s method. He rings ’em up on the phone and then rings the bell to make sure no one’s home. Lots of folks leave a light burning to throw robbers off the track. Then if no one answers he robs the flat. There’s a standing reward of a thousand dollars for him dead or alive, ma’am. A rich man not far from here was robbed—" | “A thousand dollars,” said Barbara. “A thousand—dollars!” The police had gone, taking Slinky with them. i
“I'm going downtown to get a pile of detective books,” announced Ed, “and I'm going to sit reading without answering the phone or door, ink-well in lap—" ~ “Bah!” giggled Babs. “You sound like g Wednesday night book review!’”

‘“‘Righteousness in the kingldom,” the title of our lesson, properly relates its teaching fo the kingdom of the [Messiah which is to come on the earth, and to the condition which shall then prevail. At the same time we agree with Dr. James M. Gray that “it would. be wrong to press this too far and to say that the Sermon on the Mount has no application whatever to the Christian church or the time in which we live. for God is the same through all dispensations and the wunderlying principles of His government never change.” :

Certainly it is true that if all of the men and all of the nations of the earth were on this Armistice Sunday true followers of Christ and ready to carry out the teachings of this lesson, there would no longer be any possibility- of war. This means that the best peace propaganda is the sending of missionaries and teachers to all the earth to win men to Christ,
~ Our lesson should be studied and taught with great care lest we confuse morality with Christianity and make it appear that men are justified before God by their good works rather than by faith in Christ. I. Christ Fulfills the Law (5:17-20).
The law of God is eternal, never to be abrogated, never set aside. Christ Himself, although we might properly say that He was in rea.utyl the Law-giver and thus had power and authority over the law,,indi-l cated His purpose in coming to be that of giving the law its full meaning, not of destroying it. One j_could wish that those who profess ;to be His servants might have the same measure of regard for God’s ;l'aw. If they did, they obviously ‘would not be so ready to ignore it, so quick to change it or explain it away, and far more ready to accept with their Master every “jot an tittle,” that is, even the imi'mutest detail of His Word.
Recognizing Christ as the fulfillment of the law should prebare one to manifest obedience to every moral precept through His grace and by His strength. Certainly it should not lead anyone to lawlessness or carelessness regarding details of the daily walk. Fellowship with the Saviour should be revealed in consistent living (v. 20). : [ 11. Christ Explains the Law }_(s:3B-45) ’ Look at verses 21 to 37. The spirit of murder is anger (vv. 21 22). A lustful look is adultery (vv. 27-30), and it is better to be blind than to be guilty of it. Divorce is linked very plainly w th adultery (vv, 31, 32). Swearng is forbidden (vv. 33-37). Thus Christ strips outward conformity to the law of its apparent virtue and reveals that with God it is the spirit that gives meaning to the act,
He goes on to make plain that God alone is wise enough to take vengeance, that we ought never to retaliate with evil for evil.
