JEHOSHAPHAT'S
RIGHTEOUS LEADERSHIP

Jehosb.aPhat, the son of good
King ,Asa was also a good king.
He sought the Lord Qed Of his
fathers and walked after His
commandments. Isis heart was
lifted up in the ways of the
Lord. He sent out 'teachers with
the bOOk of the law of the Lord
to instruct the people, He went
further than that, Though a
king he went among the people
from Beer-sheba in the south to
Mt. Ephraim in the north and
brought them back to the Lord
God of their fathers, Of what
Other monarch is there such a
record: King become evange-
list, He set judges in the land.
warning them to act in the fear
of God, to take no bribes and
have no respect of persons.
Jehoshaphat was anxious for
peace with Israel. To assure this
he entered into an alliance with
wicked. King Ahab. His son, Je-
horam, married Athaliah, the
wicked daughter of "Ahab and
Jezebel, with the result that Je-
horam, after his father's death.,
did evil and even brought Baal
worship into the land, thus
overthrowing to a large extent
the religious reforms of his
father Jehoshaphat also made
mistakes in going out to battle
along with Ahab and with
Ahab's son and even in cooper-
ating with Ahaziah in building
ships, which were wrecked, in •
accordance with a prediction of
God.
Jehoshaphat's victory over the.
Moabites shows how God can
help those who trust Him. Je-hoshaphat cried, "0 our God,
wilt thou not judge ;them? for,
we have no might against this
great company that cometh
against us; neither know we
what to do: but our eyes are
upon thee." As he and his men
sang and praised God the enemy
became confused and smote each. other.
Without disparaging xnan's*:%,
atomic weapons we firmly be-
lieve that prayer and righteous-
ness will do more to ensure
peace and prosperity than the'
mad race to accumulate more
deadly weapons. Let us turn
to God. s
USEFUL SUGGESTION
A manufacturer, who must be
nameless, had the horrible habit
of creeping up to his workmen
and watching them. One day
he called his employees togeth-
er. "Whenever I come into the
shop," lie said, "I want to see
every man cheerfully at work.
I am placing a, box here ,and I
want anyone who has any sug-
gestions as to how this may be
brought about more efficiently
to write the idea down and slip
it in."
Next day he opened the box.
Sure enough there was a slip
with a suggestion scribbled on
it. He took it out and read:
"Take the rubber heels off your
shoes,"

In double cropping, we alter-
nate rows Of an early kind with
a later one, for instance, radish
and carrots, or lettuce and
beans, or peas and potatoes. We
also have less space than. nor-
" mal between the rows, if neces-
sary no more than 12 or 15
inches. The early stuff, of
course, comes on quickly and is
used up before the later matur-
ing. vegetables require full room.
Another practice it to follow the
harvesting of the first vege-
tables like the peas, lettuce,
spinach, radish, early onions, etc.,
with another sowing of the
same or something else ,that will
be ready say in August or Sep-
tember. Then there are certain
crops like squash, pumpkins,
that we can plant in the outside
rows and we can have staked
tomatoes along the end of any
vegetable row and cucumbers
along the fence.

Top The -World
For Big Females
In some respects the Empress'
Eugenie was a better judge of
popular tastes than Henry Ford.
Not long after he offered "any
color of car prOVided it was
black" - the public insisted on
color. But the vogue for white
Wedding gowns introduced more
than 100 years ago by the wife
Of Napoleon III is still as
fashionable as ever, Before 1850
brides were any shade that
caught their fancy, including
red, green, purple and brown,
Recently,. brides have been
making a slight concession to the
current rage for color in every-,
thing by wearing pale pastels
under white sheers. When in-,
terpreted in light, airy materials
such as embroidered nylon or-
gandy, tulle or lace, the result is
adelicacy of coloring and fabric
comparable, to Dresden figu-
rines,
The Empress Eugenie is als0
credited with launching lace as
the traditional bridal favorite.
Since the royal wedding gown
cost' the equivalent of $40,000,
she probably would have had
few followers if a machine
hash* been invented to mass
produce the thousands of yards
of lace brides have subsequently
worn each year. For as little as
$60 this spring's bride .can float
up the middle aisle enveloped in
lace. She can manage it On even
less if she selects a combination
of nylon lace and tulle.
Though brides of today are
just as traditional in their choice
of wedding gowns as their
mothers and grandmothers, they
are considerably more practical.
Many insist on designs, with
jackets, boleros, redingotes, de-
tachable ruffles or underskirts
which can be removed for even-
ing or semi-formal wear. The
redingote style is popular this
year because the long jacket
can be worn over a night-gown
as a negligee. Shorter skirts are
gaining over floor-sweeping
lengths since they convert so
readily to party frocks.
Jacques Michel, a Montreal
specialist in bridal designs, likes
to pluck his inspiration directly
from bouquets• of seasonl flow-
ers. He is fond of the soft pastels
of sweet peas, which provided
the color themes for several
weddings. One bride wore em-
broidered white nylon organdy
over palest pink, while her three
attendants were in soft sweet
pea shades of blue, mauve and
pink. All carried matching bou-
quets of sweet peas.
For another wedding, the yel-
low' centres of daisies carried by
the bride, matched the under-
Isirt of her white sheer gown,
while her atendants were in a
deeper tone of yellow. The
couturier recently used navy
organdy liberally' heaped with
white for bridesinaids' dresses.
A shimmering effect was created
by using plain white organdy
over an organdy WhiCh had
beets embroidered in a contrast-
ing color.
Mr. Michel clairris that white
is not always too flattering on
-brides who have passed the mid-
twenties mark unless they are
tall'and still quite slim.' He pre.:
fers to dress older brides in
muted shades like champagne,
which do not magnify the figure. ,
Mothers, he says, usually find
deep blue most flattering be-
cause it sets off their blue-grey
hair Before ordering flowers some
thought s,hould be given to the
way they photograph. For in-
stance, pale colors are preferred
because deeper tones often pho-
tograph too dark.
Those who expect commercial
dyers to turn their white
wedding gowns into evening
dresses should consult an expert
dyer before selecting the style
and fabric. 'Many responsible
firms will refuse to dye attire
unless it is very simple in style
and of a sturdy fabric, - - •,- - 11: Tog 35. Long stick
