"I cannot but regret," he preached, "that the Mayor hasn't met criticism from his clerical opponents with such simple words as 'Well, it seems to be your business to condemn sin and to exhort people to virtue, and as far as I can see(you gentlemen aren't particularly successful at it.

I think our future life will be happy and I know I couldn't ask for a better man. He is ten years older than settled in mind and disposition, and a man of some consequence in his own particular field of work. He is a widower with two grown children. We are going to be married on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, an old suitor of mine, a man I once thought I loved, is visiting nearby here on business.

He telephoned me the day he arrived and I had lunch with him. I don't love him any more and I am fullv ovpr the feelinc mi I II 1 had for him, but I still remember that I have never before or since met another man whose company I enjoyed more.

Dr. L. Wendell Fifield asserted yesterday, in a sermon with that title at Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims, is to "cooperate with the inevitable" In "these tragic days' and use our opportunities to alter our attitudes toward material conditions. He took Matthew as his text: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Dr. Fifield said In part: "Jesus here states a fundamental law of life.

It is not what we have nor how much we have but how we use what we do have that really counts. This is the proper attitude for Individuals to take toward the present situation. Many limitations, restrictions and privations have come to all of us, but the real test of what we are and can be will be found in the ways we use the opportunities which we continue to have. In fact, the right use of these opportunities in accordance with Jesus' statement will create further opportunities. "The right use of our opportunities depends primarily upon our point of view.

I suggest three elements in this point of view: First, we must in these days cooperate with the inevitable. Tragic days are here. We must make the most of them, discover their constructive possibilities, find today's silver lining. Second, we must realize that not material but human considerations and values are primary. Challenged by Tragedy "We are challenged by these tragic days to develop a new kindness and a wiser and warmer humanty.

Third, peopie are not crushed by circumstances but rather by the way they deal with circumstances. No situation in itself contains ultimate defeat. Defeat lies in the way we meet a situation, as does also victory. "I should like this morning to make certain practical suggestions as to how we can realize the values of life in these tragic days how we can find the day's silver lining. First, we should rethink our attitude toward material things.

We have an opportunity to realize that we do not own but rather owe the material things of life. We should develop a new sense of stewardship toward the nation and toward God. In thinking of taxes, for example, I suggest that you do not concentrate on what you must give up but rather on what you help by giving up. Second, there should be a general shift In emphasis from getting to giving. To a certain extent, this Is being forced upon us.

Our money, our time, our energies all must be given in these days. A great many will come to value life on a different basis as a result of this. It will be for them a silver lining. In the third place, these days offer an opportunity for the achievement of personal growth. The opportunities for personal growth are one of the silver linings of today.

Silver Linings "Here they are: Growth through a deepening courage, growth through simpler living, growth through a deepening sense of responsibility, growth through a broader fellowship, growth through doing for others, growth through deepening human relationships-results in tolerance, understanding and creates new patterns of comradeship. In these ways we create an assurance for the future as we build a pattern of indestructible living Into our lives." Minister Defines Relevant Religion Realization of the personal nature of God is a key relating religion to everyday experience, the Rev. Joseph Irvine Chapman of Trinity-Baptist Church, maintained in his sermon yesterday. Mr. Chapman said in part: "As long as religion remains for us merely a philosophy of life, or a matter of morals, it will not be relevant to our experience.

"Further, religion that Is merely a matter of creeds and dogma, or that is but a name for the principles at work in our world, will not give to hungry hearts the food of life that will make them to be strong spiritually! A relevant religion includes all of these aspects and adds to them a personal, vital, life changing experience of God as Redeemer, Friend and Guide. It brings to life a faith that Is triumphant, a peace that cannot be shattered by the storms of evil passion, a hope that is steadfast that the spiritual forces and values of life that remain shall be triumphant! "Is your religion relevant Is mine? "The answer depends on how real God Is to us." BUY U. S. WAR BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMPS por form.

This may be a valuable procedure for preventing chilblains or frostbite in Winter dampness of the stockings and shoe lining from excessive sweating is a predisposing factor of freezing. An ointment made of a teaspoon- ful of standard Formaldehyde So lution (37 percent) and two table-spoonfuls of petrolatum (petroleum jelly) well mixed cold, and kept in a tightly closed container, is a good remedy to apply to the palms to control excessive sweating of the hands. A bit the size of a pea is to be applied to palms and fronts of fingers and thumbs each night for a week, and once or twice a week thereafter, as needed. Sometimes application of full strength (37 percent) Formalin three or four times a day to corn, wart, or small mole, will cause the lesion to shrivel up and drop off.

QUESTIONS ANSWERS Fainting Acquaintance had Impression made immediately after last extraction. She fainted when the dentist put the plate in, also when he made the impression.

W. F. Answer The impression should be taken before extraction, the plate or other denture made, then the extraction done and the denture immediately installed before patient leaves the office. This is immediate denture service which only the more progressive dentists as yet are technically qualified to render. Usually the plate or denture requires some adjustments later, but in actual practice this modern dental service is a boon to people who are not content to go toothless for weeks or months.

It might seem that a good fairy must have waved her magic wand to allow him to have all that, but let us take a glimpse of him at the University of Edinburgh. There he was one of the many "poor students," not poor in his studies but poor in the world's goods, A few years later he wrote about such students, saying that three of them "lodged together in a dreary house at the top of a dreary street." He added that the three students had only one bed, and had to take turns sleeping in it. While one student was asleep, the other two could study.

Tomorrow: Success In London, "Tin-horn clerics chasing the Mayor In his cha.se of tin-horn gamblers" and churches which "have encouraged various forms of tin-horn gambling in order to fill their coffers" militate against solution of the city's gambling problem, In the opinion of the Rev. Karl M. Chworowsky, pastor of the Flat-bush Unitarian Church. Preaching yesterday in the church, Beverly Road and E.

19th the pastor said: "If tin-horn clerics were less con cerned about criticizing Mayor LaGuardia's perfectly legitimate attempts at curbing commercialized gambling the chances are that not only tin-horn gamblers but the exponents of 'gold-plate' and sim ilar types of racketeering through games of chance would have the fear of God put into their hearts. Mayor Is Doing His Duty "However much we may disagree with some of the methods employed by our theatrically inclined Mayor, the fact remains that lt is his duty to see that the laws and ordinances against gambling are enforced and that is what he is trying to do." Mr. Chworowsky expressed regret that "the Mayor has not done more about enlisting the support of the churches in his anti-gambling campaign," but added: "Probably he best knows why, for certainly he recalls to what extent even churches have encouraged various forms of tin-horn gambling in order to fill their coffers, and how even today certain Unitarian Speaks Of Jesus' Words And Paul's Dogma The question- of whether Jesus or Paul was the founder of dogmatic Christianity was discussed yesterday by the Rev. Karl M. Chworowsky in the Flatbush Unitarian Church.

Mr. Chworowsky said, In part: "That the Christian Church as we know it today reveals in its official theology and outlook upon life the impact and influence of that cosmopolitan sophisticate, Paul of Tarsus, rather than that of the simple saint and humanitarian, Jesus of Nazareth, should not be difficult to establish. The question as to whether Jesus or Paul is the founder of Christianity as we know-it Is more than a rhetorical question or an idle academic speculation. It becomes a fascinating attempt at historical analysis and evaluation in view of that strange paradox of history that shows the church on the one hand claiming Jesus to be the fountainhead of its inspiration and the central personality of its faith and on the other hand showing how in matters of doctrine and life the church as early as the middle of the first century chose to follow as its most articulate leader and authority the person of Paul of Tarsus. This man, it will be recalled, did not derive his authority and spiritual insight as did the original disciples from a first-hand knowledge of and acquaintance with the Rabbi of Galilee.

On the contrary, for his right to leadership, for his claim to authority to mold and fashion the mores and hopes of the early Church, he looks back upon the strange experience of his "conversion" as recorded in Acts 9. This experience and his so ably demonstrated zeal for the extension of the gospel message gave him and his indirect testimony much more standing in the early Church than was accorded the equal zeal and direct testimony of the original disciples, so that the course of Church history reveals increasingly a growth of Paulinlsm not only at the expense of, shall we say, Petrinlsm or Johannism, but also at the expense of Christism. "The difference between the simple approach to life and religion as found In the words and deeds of Jesus and the lofty but often abstruse speculations found in the writings of Paul must at once appear to the open-minded reader of the Gospels on the one hand and of the letters of Paul on the other. The gospels, especially the first three, are the record of a man who was satisfied to set forth the glories of the Law and the Prophets and to call men with the challenge to duty found in the one and the inspiration and hope found the other. There is not a hint here of those doctrines that are explicitly or implicitly contained in the most famous of Pauline writings.

Jesus is a teacher of religion completely within the tradition of the prophets and the rabbis; the deepening and spiritualizing of the Law of God are his chief concern, that and the hope that all good men may share for the coming ofthe Kingdom through their co-operation with God. Nowhere an indication of His Deity, of the doctrine that Grace has annulled the Law, or that Justification by faith can take the place of salvation hv lov and character.

S. WAR BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMrS Take My Word For It Frank Colby COLUMBUS It's hard to believe, but It's true that the man whose memory we honor today was not named Christopher Columbus. His correct name is Christoforo Colombo, pronounced: kreess A oe roe koe-LOEM-boe The Spaniards who financed his explorations called him Cristobal Colon, pronounced: kreess-TOE-bahl koe-LOEN However, Colombo signed his name thus: Christoferens." There is a curious parallel In the fact that in life the explorer made four voyages, and in death was taken on four journeys, three of them by soa, thus: The funeral ceremonies were held at Vallado-lid, Spain, in May, 1506. Shortly thereafter, his body made its first journey to a monastery at Seville. In 1542 his body was exhumed and taken overseas to San Domingo.

In 1795 his bones were re-exhumed and removed to Havana. In 1898 all that was left of Colombo was sealed In a small metal box and transported to Seville, there to remain undisturbed, at least until today. The ships of his first voyage were the Santa Maria (SAHN-tah mah-REE-ah), the Pinta iPEEN-tah), and the Nina (NEEN-yah). Ironically, America was not named for him, but for a rival explorer, Amerigo Vespucci (ah-may-REE-goe vess-POOT-chee), who claimed discovery of North America. But, says the Encyclopedia Britannica, "The general weight of opinion has been that Vespucci had Jesus Never Fails As a Commander, Mr.

Tiffany Says The need for practical demonstration of rather than intellectual attention to the familiar statement that "Jesus never fails" was stressed by the Rev. Fred Robert Tiffany yesterday in his sermon at the Richmond Hill Baptist Church. Mr. Tiffany said, in part: "Millions of people the world around would attest that statement. But often their testimony Is only academic, theoretical and, quite frequently, Inherited from ancestors.

"The need of this present hour is not for intellectual attestation to that statement, but a practical demonstration in life's hard experiences. What about it with you? Has Jesus failed you? Indeed, have you tried Him at all? "For one thing, Jesus never fails as a companion. He sends us forth Into life's battles but not alone, never alone. He goes with us. More than that, He goes ahead of us to prepare the way, "For another thing, Jesus never fails as a champion in life's battles.

He fought the good fight, He kept the faith, He led the way, a genuine hero all the way. Think of the enterprises that have been championed in His name! Take the name of Christian out of every cause, every welfare project, every missionary movement, every endeavor for world brotherhood, and you would have little left. "For another thing, Jesus never fails as a Commander! If His armies have failed to take the field that is not His fault, it Is the fault of His soldiers, who are afraid to follow Him in difficult battles. He has Issued the call, 'Go into all the As a commander, He goes even alone to the cross, and there as Saviour and Friend and Guide He waits for you!

He had reached the age of 77, and had won great fame. From his title of "Sir," we might suppose he was blessed by fortune at birth, but his family was far from being rich. His father was a weaver in a small town in Scotland, and not much money came into the household.

What money there was had to be spread out thinly, since James was one of ten children. The honor of knighthood was to come many years later, as a reward for Barrie's skill in writing. At the time he was born even his fond mother had no idea that such a title would be won. There was little fortune, in the sense of money, in that Scottish household, but there was samething else of greater value. The father of the family was a kind-hearted man, always ready to do his duty.

The mother was a woman of whom books might be written and Indeed they were! When the son grew up, he told about Margaret Ogilvy time and again. One volume was to bear her name, and others were to show her as a mush-loved character In stories and plays. IO-B Sir James Barrie All through her son's boyhood and youth Mrs. Barrie (whose maiden name was Margaret Ogilvie) gave him her time and love, and he richly gave back her love. There was a rich store of playfulness in the mother, and James entered into the spirit of her play.

Neither of them spent too much time worrying about the hard facts of life. As a member of such a family, it may seem strange that James was able to obtain a very good educa.
