The Seaforth News, 1949-01-06, Page 2THE MEM By BLANCHE .ROBERTS SJ 310061B Hersey' Monroe successfully steals the fabulously valuable Sylvester Diamond from the handbag; of a woman in a Los Angelo. department store. Her friend doe, Danburne, professional thief, tries to get It from her butis prevented from doing so when be gets in a fight with the man she loves, Dan Brewster, district attorney. She takes a plane for San Francisco:' but it becomes lost in a tog and lands in the iso Post off shore. She is picked up, the lone survivor, by a Young lawyer, Art Carey, Who lives wttb hie mother near b'. She gives them the name HeneY- Roe, but that afternoon when tine and Art get the newspaper her real name la listed anions the victims.. CHAPTER VII (Continued from last week) "There is a spot near there that I must get to right away. Will you drive me there tonight- Please! It is most urgent. I was going to it when the plane crashed. I don't want to stay, however." She did not lower her eyes as he searched them for a elue to her request. Then he smiled down -at her, "Of course." Together, they went forward to meet Mrs. Riba, a dark and lovely woman much younger than• Art's mother., "This is Art's friend, Mrs, Riba," said Mrs. Carey and her eyes danc- ed with merriment that the neigh- bor did not see. "Miss Roe. She is visiting us for a few days." "How nice to meet a friend of Art's," cooed Mrs. Riba sweetly, her eyes alive with animation, I can see how pleased he is at having you here. There is that love interest in his eyes." Site wagged a teasing finger at Art, Honey felt color creep into her face at the woman's words, but she answered pleasantly: "I am very glad to be here, Mrs. Riba." The woman looked vaguely fa- S I ire l�lN� �upl^'uN�I�iil�ii aw /411 teptIr <'• rl-lt'l it Lt h, 's 'Use your spare time and spare . .pennies to good advantage!

She watched the woman from veiled eyes, wondering where she had seen her before, Or if they had met. "We're driving up to San Fran- cisco, Ma," said Art after a mo- ment. "I think we'll leave now and eat a bite on the way." "Why not take my coat, dear, instead of your light one?" asked Mrs.. Carey pointedly, and gave Honey a quick glance of warning. "It will just about fit you." "If you don't mind, 1 will. Mrs. Carey," responded Honey. In a few minutes they were on ther way. Honey took a nice deep breath, add let it out in a long sigh, She felt like she had just escaped another near disaster. Art grinned in amusement. 'Mrs. Riba is very friendly, but a bit on the curious, snooping side. If you had come out in Ma's coat she would have drawn all kinds of conclusions. The way it is. she probably thinks you didn't know it was so cold out here and neglected to bring a heavy one along. She'll try to get your life's history before she goes home. But Ma will stall her. She is awfully close about her own life, however." e * * "She looks familiar, but 1 am sure I have never seen her before." "If she had seen you, she would remember it." Honey changed the subject by saying: Your mother is very nice, Art. I like her. ,And before I leave I will try to explain about my name and other things. I really hate lying. I have never done it before. But right now I can't talk." Many miles flew by before she said in a very still voice: "I want to go to an old ceme- tery, Art" "The cern-." He closed his lips over the word he was about to re- peat, and Honey, watching him closely, saw him square .his should- ers and lift his chin. "All rigth." The gates of the cemetery were closed, of course, but Honey had expected that. There was no reason why she could not get over the wall with a little aid from Art, and he was willing to assist her. "When I get inside, Art," she said in a hushed voice just before he lifted her to the wall, "you drive around for a while so people will not get suspicious and stop and"ask questions. No one must know that I have been here. No one but you, and I know you will not give me away. Come back in an hour. Oh, wait!" She just remembered some- thing that was vitally important as he swung her to the top of the wall. "Have you a screwdriver or some- thing like that in the car? 1 want to borrow it," e "I have." He wenr back to the parked car and opened the trunk. Silently be gave her what she wanted and then saw her safely into the ceneetery. It was dark and quiet, and the white tombs stood like sentinels guarding those who slept in peace. She felt almost like an intruder. Honey shivered as she heard Art start the motor and drive off, leav- ing her alone in that place.,, Inside the quiet graveyard, Honey turned and walked along the high wall surrounding the burial ground 'to the big entrance gates tc get her bearings. She had never been in the place at night before and she was faced with the difficult task of locating the spot she.wanted to find; especially hard since there was no moon to light the way for her. From the gate she walked carefully but hurriedly, making her way among the graves. (Continued next week.) , C ,."i O S S YW O R PUZZLE ACROSS 6. flaw -boned 1. Incites 6. Work unit 6.

The bdv r elsewhere on this Ilk's 'Dear Santy Claus" -In all parts of Canada pencils have been busy in little hands as youngsters, like this group, wrote to Santa Claus, telling him they'd been SO VERY., VERY GOOD all year, then filling in the rest of the letter with one long sentence that started - "I want : . . &c ✓ J ICLE 1NGER ewq,n.doLfr.e P. Cte D'ke Happy Christmas, Everybody' Isn't that just the loveliest greet- ing? If it conies from the lteart what more could one wish even for one's nearest and dearest? There are , different ways of expressing one's Christmas wishes just as there are different ways of celebrating the Yuletide season, but if it all adds up to "A Happy Christmas" then it covers all that we could possibly wish for one another doesn't it? Several weeks ago a friend asked me this question -"What is your first thought in connection with Christmas?" It was one of several on a questionnaire which site had been asked to have completed. The query intrigued me and I in turn put the question to several of my friends. Now I am asking you - "What is your first thought in con- nection with Christmas?" Give your- self an honest answer and you will know just what Christmas means to you. In the meantime perhaps you would like to know some of the answers that were given to nee. One young fellow said that to him Christmas and carols were synony- mous, Carols ... a lovely thought• it would be hard to think of Christmas without them, wouldn't it? Remember. as children how we loved to sing -"Away in a manger?" That lovely little carol is still the same, isn't it -but now we watch and listen as another generation carries its message in song and story. "Joy to the • world ." another lovely carol. I remember lying in bed, alert and listening, in my little roonii across the Atlantic waiting for twelve o'clock on Christmas Eve. The big clock in the Church on the market square would strike the hour, then almost immediately, away in the distance I -would hear "the Waits" playing well -loved anti' fatitiliar carols. Sometimes it would be the town band, sometimes ° the Salvation Army -then as the last strains frotn the musical instruments faded into the distance, carol singers would carry on, spreading the glad tidings with their joyous and will- ing voices. Once again the chal- lenge would ring out -"O Come all ye faithful 0 •come, let us adore re Him." Another answer to my question this ®time by the father of a grown family. "My first thought in con- nection with Christmas is the get ting together of one's family, and the remembrance of other Christ- mases past and gone. To me Christ- mas. has always been a landmark in my life -I can look back now and recall almost every Christmas - at house with my father and mother; in France during the war; • in hospital; and later with my wife and children around me. Yes, Christmas to me is just that -a family circle as complete as we can make it." - • Possibly that answer will be re- peated many times over by those who read this column. Perhaps it is the simplicity of that Christmas so many years ago -of Joseph and Mary and the Infant Jesus -a com- plete family picture -perhaps it is that which seems to make a family gathering so exactly symbolic to us of what a Christmas ought to be. Looking back through the years, if we can remember Christmas in our !tomes as a happy tine -a time ' of loving apd giving; of considera- tion for the old and understanding for the young; then we can be quite sure the Christmas message of Peace and Goodwill definitely had a grace its our hearts and our homes. If we have such memories then we have much for which to thank our parents. Yes, it is surely a wonderful thing for a grown person to be able to look back to a happy childhood, symbolized by many happy Christ- mases, even though there might not be too much of this world's goods to do with. But if your are young, with most of your life before you, and. with little children in your home, then whatever you do, give them mem- ories , , , memories of Christmas to treasure through the years. If you are in doubt as to whether you are giving your children the right kind of Christmas, ask yourself this question -"When my children are grown up' what will their first thought be in connection with Christmas?" The answer depends on YOU. And so again -"A Happy Christ- mas" is my wish for you -a Christ- mas abounding with carols, good fellowship, fancily gatherings . . . and MEMORIES.

Barclay Warren Apocalyptic Literature in The Bible Rev. 21:1-7; 22:1-5, 17 Golden Text: -The Kingdom of this - world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15. The quarter's lesson appropriately conclude with a study of apocalyp• tic literature. The word apocalypse is derived from a Greek word which means to uncover and refers to an uncovering or disclosure of hidden things, especially with regard to the future. In addition to the Book of Revelation, parte of Zechariah, Dan- id aniel and Ezekiel are apocalyptic. Apocalypses have been called "tracts for bad times." Their main purpose was to encourage the people.of God in times. of stress. Extensive use is made of symbols and imagery of various kinds. Beware of the man who professes to understated all the det nils of each apocalypse. The very reeetery of them ought to incite in us a sense of awe. God's ways and thoughts are above ours. John's vision of the new heaven and the new earth are extremely beautiful. Some passages bring great comfort as, "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, ttor crying, neither shalt there be any more pain . , . There shall be no night there." The de- scription of heaven is followed by an earnest invitation to all, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Colne. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." We too often live as though this world was all. Actually, it is but the place of preparation for our everlasting abode. How important then that we should study the Bible which points the way to heaven. Jesus commanded, "Search the Scriptures," MATTER OF FACT My creed as a scientific worker rests on alt almost religious convic- tion about the goodness of measured facts; that all facts are good; they may be facts about bad things, but if they arc facts they're good and val- uable. I believe that the measured facts of basic science, the observed relations among them, and the ten- tative entative theories based 'on these rela- tions, should be published for every- one to know.
