Underground Movies
Two hundred and forty feet be-
low ground the colliers of the
Spruce mine, near Evereth, Minn.,
enjoy regular film shows. The the-
ater is a disused pump-room in the
pit, and there are seats for 200
spectators. At lunch-time, come-
dies, wild west and other short
films are shown, as well as spe-
cial “Safety First” features for in-
structional benefit.
There is no sound apparatus, but
the miners provide incidental mu-
aic with their own accordions, vio-
lins and harmonicas.
Pull the Trigger on
Lazy Bowels, and Also
Pepsin-ize Stomach!
When constipation brings on acid indi-
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer-
tain undigested food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won-
dcrfulstomach comfort, while the Laxative
Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin-
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the 6ame time this medicine
wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin-
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Lax-
ative-Senna with Syrup Pepsin at your
druggist todayl

ISAIAH GIVES GOD’S INVITATION
LESSON TEXT—Isaiah 53:1-11.
. GOLDEN TEXT—Seek ye the Lord while
-a may be found, call ye upon him while he
U near.—Isaiah 53:6.
Thirsty? A thousand signboards
will tell you what to drink to refresh
yourself. Most of the suggestions
are there only to get your money,
and often their proffered lift is a
push downward and their refresh-
ment is only a prelude to destruc-
tion. But they do declare that thirst
is universally present. Throughout
the Bible thirst is used to express
man’s need of and longing for God.
He is a spiritual being made in the
likeness and image of God and in-
tended for fellowship with Him.
Never will he be fully satisfied until
he comes to God and meets his hun-
ger and thirst with that “which is
good."
The invitation of Isaiah is present-
ed under the figure of a purchase,
"Come ye, buy.” In carrying out
that thought we suggest that there
are four steps in buying and using
anything.
I. Listen (v. 1).
“Ho, everyone that thirsteth.”
This is as Spurgeon says "the cry
of a salesman at a fair." Amid the
confusing sounds and disturbing
sights surrounding his customer the
salesman must make himself known
and catch the interest of his cus-
tomer. The latter must listen to the
offer and the recommendation of the
things for sale.
This is an unusual offer. Isaiah
invites the buyer to make his pur-
chase “without money and without
price." Does that mean that the
thing for sale is eheap or worthless?
Far from it, for it is priceless. Sal-
vation is free for the sinner, but it
cost God the price of His only begot-
ten Son. It is because Jesus paid
the price of redemption that we may
have it freely without cost.
II. Compare (vv. 2-5).
A good shopper compares values
lest he make a bad bargain or buy
that for which he has no real need.
What is the situation of the one who
is invited to buy what God offers?
He is a sinner who has been fool-
ishly seeking to satisfy himself with
what the world has to offer. With
money he has tried to buy happi-
ness, contentment, recognition. The
bread of this world will never satisfy
and the water of this world only in-
creases one’s thirst. (See John 4:
13, 14.)
Compare what God has to offer,
“that which is good,” that which
delights the soul (v. 2). Here is
life (v. 3) assured by the promise
of One who made an “everlasting
covenant” with David, assuring him
of His "sure mercies." It results in
ultimate glory (v. 5).
The one who honestly makes such
a comparison is quickly satisfied
that the time has come to
III. Buy (vv. 6-9).
Penniless, the sinner may “buy”
without money. He may call upon
God, for God has already called him.
He may seek God, because He like
Ihe good shepherd has been out seek-
ing the lost sheep (Matt. 18:12).
While man can certainly not save
limself, there are things which God
“xpects the sinner to do. First, he
is to “seek the Lord.” Where?
Right at your side, sinner, for "he
is near” (v. 6). Then when the sin-
ner meets the Lord he is at once
conscious of his sin. What shall
he do with it? Forsake it in both
thought and deed (v. 7) and God
will “abundantly pardon.” Observe
that men may by their sinful rejec-
tion of Him bring themselves to_the
place where they not only do not
listen to God’s call, but actually do
not want to hear it. “Seek ye the
Lord while he may be found” (v. 6).
IV. Enjoy (vv. 10, 11).
Some foolish folk buy things and
put them away where neither they
nor anyone else can enjoy them.
Some worry so much about the price
they paid or are so concerned about
the preciousness of the thing pur-
chased that they find no pleasure in
using it.
Salvation is not a thing to be
hidden or put on a shelf. In fact,
it is not a thing at all, but a life.
It is to grow, to bud, to blossom and
to bear fruit. How? By being ready
to receive God’s Word which comes
down like the rain from the heavens,
refreshing, encouraging, and fructi-
fying the life of the believer.
God’s Word never returns to Him
void. He prospers it to accomplish
His own purpose. But pray tell me,
if we never study it or even read
It, how can it help our lives? We
"grow in grace” only as we grow
"in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ" (II Pet. 3:18).
We grow in knowledge as we study
God’s Word. Thus we come to enjoy
our Christian life.
Healing Powers
There came also a multitude out
of the cities round about unto Jeru-
salem, bringing aick folks, and them
which were vexed with unclean spir-
its and they were healed avery one.
—Acts 1:11.

CENTIMENT for the wedding
^ gown of traditional white satin
seems to prevail among this sea-
son’s brides-to-be. Not that excep-
tions to the rule will be lacking
for fashion continues to introduce
fascinating innovations such as
white silk jersey draped in sculp-
tural lines for the bride’s dress.
For the very youthful bride a lead-
ing designer creates a vision of love-
liness fashioned of 57 yards of fairy-
like diaphanous net for the skirt
and train. Then there is the excit-
ingly new nuptial robe made of
lovely deep old ivory ribbed silk
faille. Even more thrilling is a
beautiful model of brocaded silk
that takes on a touch of color via
a quaint patterning of romantic
floral sprigs and foliage.
For the simple wedding, fashion
declares in favor of the prettiest
sheer dimities fancy might picture,
which is in line with the new trend
to wear smart and lovely cottons
this summef, Along this line of
thought is an entrancing gown de-
signed for the bride who favors
sweet simplicity. Styled of dotted
organdy, there are deep bias-cut
ruffles fluttering here and there on
bodice and skirt. A low-cut round
neckline finished off with flattering
frills accents youth in its every
detail.
However, notwithstanding the lure
of bridal themes that depart from
the conventional and usual, the fact
remains that enthusiasm for a re-
vival of time-honored traditional
white satin is very apparent this
season. Furthermore, there is an
awakened interest in the all white
wedding among prospective brides.
The bride in classic white satin, the
attendants in billowy white net,
white lilacs, white roses with a
plentiful showing of green in foliage
and stems makes a picture of sur-
Big White Quills
passing charm and elegance.
To distinguish the gown of ivory
white satin, superb styling must re-
flect in every detail. The patrician
gown in the illustration bespeaks
that perfect finesse that proclaims
its elegance. This lovely model
boasts a basque bodice with wide
picturesque skirt beginning from
shirring at the hips. Exquisite
Alencon lace inserted in the puffed
sleeves carries an important style
message that accents of precious
lace on white satin is a feature em-
phasized in spring-summer wedding
gowns.
The news about the brides pic-
tured in the insets is that they wear
diamonds instead of regulation
pearls. Not a superfluous display
that offends good taste—not by any
means! A single important piece
is the theme fashion advances, per-
haps an heirloom brooch or pen-
dant. As aristocratic as a princess
is the bride pictured in the top in-
set. The square-cut neckline with
its dainty frill of filmy white tulle
is ever so flattering. Her necklace
sparkles, so does her tiara head-
piece.
“Something old and something
new” is the thought that is ex-
pressed in the charming little quaint
headdress fashioned from the lace
yoke of her mother’s wedding dress
worn by the bride portrayed in the
oval below. The new diamond
cross pendant that lends infinite en-
chantment is the bridegroom’s gift.
Her engagement ring is a marquise
(boat shaped) cut—very new and
very smart in design.
In regard to fabric choices for the
maid of honor and the coterie of
bridesmaids and flower girl that
grace the wedding picture, it is in-
teresting to note the revival of that
old-time favorite, marquisette.

Paris Coats Show
Fullness at Back
The new coats are of various cuts,
fitted and somewhat flared; with
movement in the back only; or
straight. Morning and sports types
again vacillate between the redin-
gote, this spring with plaits in its
back, and the ample coat that hangs
from the neck or from a shallow
yoke.
A newcomer is the coat that is
flat in front and bloused in the back
at the waist. There are a few
capes, mostly rather straight, broad
shouldered, and long enough to
cover the gown.
It’s • white season for millinery.
If the hat is not all white the ac-
cent of tremendously large white
quills will give the proper touch to
a swank navy or black straw hat.
For that matter the very latest is
to trim one’s voguish gray felt
casual hat with a white feather or
flock of little white wings. The
novelty black straw hat pictured
above shows the white feather
advantageously in two enormous
quills.
Organdy Necklace
A smart white lingerie touch is
treated like a piece of jewelry in
a new flower necklace to brighten
a dark colored basic dress. The
flowers are made of atarched white
organdy, each one edged with a fine
line of red and strung on a rolled
«rgar<u> Land.
Dark Twill Coats
Spring’s Favorite
Favorite coat this season is a dark
twill cut on fitted lines, though a
number of loose-backed ones are
also shown. (It’s smart to wear a
loose plaid one over a plain suit.)
Frocks to wear under the new coats
are of printed crepe, jersey and
wool.
Navy blue, black, milk chocolate
brown, gray, cadet blue and sand
beige are outstanding colors in new
clothes.
Newest Silhouette
Shows Slim Skirt
Outstanding news in the new
clothes is s narrower silhouette in
which a alim skirt is grafted to a
bloused top either in coats or frocks.
Otherwise spring skirts art gently
flared below a long torso with an
thusiastic as is everybody who has
tried it!

ing. Pattern No. 1927-B consists
of just three pieces that go to-

cal and comfortable of pinafore
aprons—and it is a pretty thing to
look at, too, slim-waisted and
bright with braid. It buttons on

and sliding. It protects the top as
well as the skirt of your dress.
Three or four aprons like this, in
percale, calico or gingham, will
make your home life much easier
and happier. It’s a nice sugges-
