Ellen Church, 17 years old, finds Herself alone in the world with her artist mother's last warning ringing in her ears, to "love lightly," Of the world she knew lit- -tie. All her life she had lived alone with her mother in an old brown House in a small rural community Ellen, alone, turned to the only con- tact she knew, an art agent in New York. Posing, years of posing, was her anly. talent so she was introduced to two leading artists, Dick Alven and Sandy Macintosh. I3oth used her as a model and both fell in love with her . but Ellen, trying to follow the warped philosophy of her mother to "love lightly," resists the thought of love. Her circle of friends is small, artists and two or three girl models. Ellen attends a ball with Sandy. 'While dancing a tall young, man claimed her and romance is born. A ride in the park, proposal, the next day marriage to Tony, and wealth. But she' "Love Lightly," Ellen told. herself. _ She would never let him know how desperately she loved him, even though she were his wife. Ellen insists upon living her own life, main- taining her home in her small room, even though Tony is wealthy . . . Jane, of Tony's wealthy set, is disap- pointed in Tony's sudden marriage to Ellen. Jane then makes every effort to win Tony away from Ellen. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "If anything's happened, and I was wiped out in this crazy market, -El- len," he said, "I wonder if you'd let me come and live in your brown house and be a gardener or some- things?" Ellen, all at once, was angry. She didn't know quite why she was angry. "I wouldn't let you come into my garden, Tony!" she said. Because 3 think you'd laugh at it, and the hi forwhichhas awaysstood. things rht it a g I'm afraid you'll always laugh at all the things that seem important to met" Tony wasn't laughing at her now. "Oh, forget it," he said gruffly. "We've been making fools of oursely- es. Ian afraid, and spoiling what might have been a good 'evening!" Ellen wanted. to cry out, "I won't forget it I won't be' put down in' your mind as an unscrupulous little fortune hunter!" Instead she folded her hands in her :shut ..her .mouth tight and lata - cooed g didn't say anything at all. In fact, neither she nor Tony spoke again 'until the car drove up to the door esf Ellen's house. Until Tony, not ev- en touching her hand, to -night, bade her a brief "Good night." Ellen went slowly, draggingly, up the stairs to her room, after she had left Tony, and threw herself, fully dressed, across her bed—as she had, in the afternoon. All through the next day Ellen sat in her room—waiting for Tony to phone her, waiting for his flowers to arrive. There was no reason why she should sit. there. She should have been working. But she didn't want to work, somehow. She just wanted to wait for Tony. Morning lengthened into noon, noon became afternoon, and then twi- light settled. down. But there wasn't any ring at Ellen's doorbell, and her phone was soundless. By gentle stages twilight became evening, and evening became eight o'clock.` And 'stillthere was no call from Tony, and still there was no florist's boy. And then there came a knock at the door and Ellen, open- ing it, saw Gay on the threshold. "Tell me you're glad to see me," was Gay's greeting. "Wall Street's shot, and so am I" Gay flung her hat across and sank into one of Ell chairs. "That's why I'm here, re said. "All joking aside. Som me yon were feeling low, so I'd stop by and see if I: court thing for you. I.'ll bet you ha any dinner . . ." She paused, on with a rush. "Say, Ellen," she asked clean!

Gay's little hand was patting El- len's hand. "That was foolish," she said. "Al- though I shouldn't have thought that it would have mattered, one way or another. Loving him has stuck out all over you ever since the night of the Six Arts Ball. But then," she nodded. savagely, "men are fools, es- pecial ly the young ones!" Ellen was crying very hard, now. "I am in love with Tony," she was sobbing. "I didn't mean what I told him. I want him to know how 1 feel. I don't like'staying here, Gay. I want to be with Tony. I'm more of a fool than he could be, ever." Still Gay was patting Ellen's little hand. "You've got a phone," said Gay. "Call him! He'll be at his office to- night, you can bet your life on that.

With trembling fingers, Ellen --•- before she could change her mind •---• reached for her phone and lifted the receiver off its hook, and gave a num- ber to central, • "Line's busy," she said; and Gay answered, "It would be," All of that evening, with only. afew moments out for the coffee that Gay made and the sandwiches that she brought in, Ellen tried to get Tony on the phone, and always the line was busy. "Most of the lines in that part of the town are busy," she told Ellett: 'Better send a wire!" Still Ellen didn't, understand. She hadn't; understood, the day before when Claire talked' about thestock market—she hadn't known realization the evening before when Tony had spoken vaguely of fortunes crashing. Even Gay's casual remarks had made no impression upon her. Wall Street didn't exist for Ellen, you see, It was around toward 'midnight, when the telephone wire was still busy, that Ellen at last sent a tele- gram, phoning it to Western Unino. "Call the tomorrow, please," she said in the telegram, and signed her name. Surely, she figured, that wire would bring a response from Tony, in the morning. The next day, around noon, Tony telephoned. Ellen had been up at "What do I care how it looks?" • answered Ellen savagely. seven, expecting his call. The hours from seven until noon had seemed unbelievably and brutally long. Again she didn't understand, she couldn't understand! Tony's voice -didn't sound at all lik'e Tony's voice, to Ellen. It sounded like a tired, older man's voice. "You wanted me—" asked Tony. Wanted him! Ellen wished that she mnight.:friave ,crawled into the tele- phone, that she might go to Tony across the wires, she wanted him so badly. "Tony,'rshe said, "I've got to see. you right away. There's something we've got to talk about." Tony's voice was weary. "I can't help wondering," he said, "what it is?" Ellen took a hard prig on her cour- age. "You. said, Tony," she told hies, "the night you asked me to marry you, that you'd give me everything I ever wanted. That 'I could have the biggest apartment on Park Avenue, and live with you in it, Well, Tony, I want to live" with you in it, now. I'm ready to make the advances, I don't want to go on this way, any longer." There was silence for a moment on . the other end of the Phone, And then "Oh, God1" said Tony, and hang' up the; receiver. It was two o'clock when s. special messenger brought a note. Tt was a sharp, curt, little note.. "I'm sorry, Ellen," it began, with - rout any word of greeting, "but you tricked the wrong tine, to: ask for an e ti ushv apartment and all that goes with it.

Ellen was in his artns, crying and laughing, and a button ort the front of Dick's shirt was rubbing gaainst her nose. "Everything's all over, L)ict, she sobbed, "I don't know what I'm go- ing tci do. Tony—" she blurted it out -"Tony's left me! He's through—' "Then," Dick was looking past her out of the window, "then you must have married hini because he was a millionaire. You couldn't have loved him when you, didn't know hits, at all. We"ve all been .rather afraid that you were blinded by the thought of a great deal of money. Only I--" he choked, "I held out for it, that the money didn't matter." Ellen's hands were twisting to-ge- her. "The . whole crowd of you," she Said, "might have known that it was not money, Dick. Else I wouldn't have gone on Iiving in my own house, and working. I'd have had more of the material things to show -for my bargain. It was love, hick—at first sight, Oh," piteously, "please don't laugh at me, Love at first sight does happen! I was crazy about Tony be- fore l even knew his name." Dick ignored the last part of her sentence. "Why," he said,. "loving your hus- band, have you gone on living as you have always lived? You'd better come across with it all, Ellen—else I won't be able to help you." Dick was right. The time for sub- terfuge had passed. "Ellen, dear,"'he said, "I'mdesper- ately sorry for you, but I can't help feeling that there is something to be said on Tdny's side -a great deal to be said! I dont' suppose you realize just what's going on down. in Wall Street, I don't suppose you've seen a paper for days! Tony's firm failed yesterday, in an exceedingly spectac- ularway. And on top of the failure, you called up and asked Tony for things that he probably isn't able to give you any more. Naturally, conn- ing after all you'd said. before—" He Hesitated for long while, and then— "There must be some reason, El- len," Dick said, at last, "why you took such an utterly insane stand." Ellen took a firni grip on her cour- age. She hadn't talked about herself to since the first day of their friend- ship. "It began," she said at last,i4 with my mother. We'd lived together, all alone, for seventeen years, Dick, 'And from the time I was old enough to understand words, she told one that I should love lightly. She'd had a very cruel lesson, Dick. You see, my father It didn't fake such a long while to tell the story—not nearly as long as it had taken to gain courage to tell the story] Strange how futile it seemed at this telling and retelling! Strange how artificialand unreal it all was. "I think," for the first bine Dick's voice was unsteady, and ft was an un- steadiness born of renunciation, "I think that I'd better take you down to Tony's office, I want you to tell him everything, dear—just as you've told it to tne.."

Golden Text: Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I dove Thee. (_John 21r 17c). .There were seven steps in Peter's. restoration. But Peter did not take these seven steps—his Lord and Sav- lour took therm a11. Peter's denial which we stitched last Sunday, was otto of the moist tragic its all Christian history. 1'et it was a type of the denial of Christ that any one of us is liable to snake, and that many of us, in ottt` way or another, have made, What 0 blessing' thal the rectird did not end with Peter's denial.

When any of God's children sin the only Way they can be restored to fellowship with God is by what Christ does for them, not wham they do for Christ. "If any man sine, we have tut advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.' (1 John t:1).

China. seth us from all sin." Peter was go- ing to be restored because the Christ whom he denied was going to die for him. 1. "And Peter"—that was the first of the seven steps taken by Christ in Peter's restoration. The Lord. had been crucified now; and: he had risen from the dead. When the women came "very early in the morning" of that first faster day, to "anoint Him" and found an empty sepulchre, an an- gel gave them a message from the ris- en Lord. "He is risen: He is not here," said the angel. He continued: "Butgo your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see Him." if the angel had said only, "tell His disciples that He goeth before you," Peter might have said bitterly: "That. does not include me; that cannot mean me; for I can no longer be called His disciple." But "and Peter" left the sinning, sorrowing disciple in no doubt. He was included! 2. Christ's resurrection restored Peter—it was one of the steps. When Peter and John heard that the sepul- chre ul- chre was empty, they ran to se for themselves. What they saw convinc- ed there that the Lord Jesus had ris- en from the dead. They found His grave clothes as no human. hands could have unwrapped and left them, but like a collapsed chysalis, the re- surrection body of the Lord having passed -through them. •In the same way He undoubtedly passed out of the tomb before the great stone was rolled away, and later through closed knowest that I love Thee." doors to be with His disciples.. Paul names Peter alone of the disciples, in the great resurrection chapter: "He was seen of Cephas (Peter), then of the twelve" (I. Cor. 15:5). Peter, who very likely had given ,up all hope af- ter his shameful denial, wrote many years later by inspiration: "Blessed be the God and Fatherofour Lord Jesus Christ, which, according to His abundant mercy had begotten us again unto a lively (living) hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (I. Pet. 1:3). 3. Christ worked a miracle to en- able Peter to succeed as a fisherman where he had been making an entire failure. The disciples had gone to Galilee, Peter had said to them, "I go a fishing," they joined him, fished all night, and "they caught nothing." The risen Lord appeared to them and said, "cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find." There followed such a catch that "they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Supernaturaly empowered service was -another step in Peter's restora- tion. 2 TheLor long before, had d, promised Peter, . "Thou shalt catch men." Peter had forfeited this calling by itis denial. The Lord restored it to him,, and gave him a miraculous demonstration of fishing! 4. The restoration continued by. Christ's testing of Peter's love for Him. "Lovest thou Me?" the Lord asked Peter; and the disciple insist- ently declared: "Yea, Lord; Thou But the word the Lord used for "love" was on the highest plane, a. word used for divine love; the word Peter used in his answer stood for a lesser degree of love. The question and answer were re- peated ,the same different words be- ing used. Finally the Lord used. Peter's own. word as He asked again: "Loves€ thou Me?" A third' ,time Peter an- swered with his declaration of lesser- love. esserlove. The disciple apparently had lost: his self-confidence and 'boastfulness.,. and did not dare claim too much for himself. 5. Christ commissioned' Peter to His service again: "Feed My lambs . Feed My sheep." What a wonder- ful restoration, to be entrusted with the privilege of serving Christ. agaialr' 6. And now Christ !prophesied that Peter should die.as a martyr, in faith- ful witn•es to Himself, "signifying by- what death he shold glorify God.' Sorely Peters' restoration was going to be complete and triumphant. '7. Finally came the loving words "Follow Me. Long before, early he His Ministry, the Lord had spoken those same words to Peter and And- rew the brothers who were fisherinen.. "Follow Me, and I will make you fish- ers of Hien," the Lord had said. (Matt. 4:19.) The words must have soundett very wonderful and precious to Peter now. He had sadly failed in his fol- lowing of Christ; but he was to be trusted again to: follow Him. It was the renewed and final call to disciple- ship—and Peter did not fall now.
