PAGE SEVEN — Good Taste Today By EMILY POST, Author of “ETIQUETTE,” “THE BLUE BOOK OF SOCIAL USAGE,” etc. ENDURING SENTIMENT HAVE been given permission to print this especially touching letter from a man: “Dear Mrs, Post—I lost my beloved wife a year ago. The tragedy of this separation of two people who for near- ly thirty years were so happy to be to- gether, is just something that only ‘those who are struggling to endure this same aching loneliness can know. Lately 1 have gotten a great deal of comfort in an idea that may, or may not, be, my own; at any rate it was new so far ‘as my’ ever ‘having: ‘heard, i ’ about it was concerned. “My wife and I were married with the double ring ceremony. And when she died her wedding band was never taken off her finger. A few months ago it occurred to me to take her en- ‘gagement ring with my own wedding band to the jeweler and ask him whether he could build up the top of my ring so that he could sink the dia- mond of her ring into it, without chang- ing the under half of my ring or ob- 'literating the engraving of our names. He said he could by melting a little more gold at the top of my band, which he did, and the post-setting looks like a conventional gypsy hoop and is not a clumsy or obvious one. “A friend of mine told me that I was selfish to use the stone, especial- ly as I had the gold brought over the edge to make it look smaller. My friend says it should be given to our son for him to give to his future wife. But he has no present intention of marrying and I am getting a real con- solation in having something that she always wore and held dear, constantly close to me. It is not too late to pass the composite ring on to my son even now, or later, and he can have all the other jewels that his mother had any time he wants them. “Am I just a silly sentimentalist, or do you think that this same plan would give other lonely widowers the real comfort that it gives me? It was not just a diamond to her, and I could not bear to leave it in hiding when I had looked at it for all those years in (its rightful place on her hand. Per- haps if you haven’t heard of the plan, | you might want to print it with your ‘answer for the benefit of some other {sentimental reader—if there might be one.” In answer 1 want to say that of course I can understand how you feel land I think it is a beautiful idea that 'is likely to bring a little warmth of ‘comfort not only to one, but to many, In no possible sense are you selfish. As for sentiment—what is beauty of ‘life without it? ® bye Emily Post.—WNU Service. God In Hebrew History (Review) Golden Text: Psalm 145:13 The International Uniform Sun- Lesson for Sept. 30. * * * ~0D in Hebrew History”’— that’s the significant title of the review of the quarter’s lessons. Though it is difficult to discern His hand and judgments, it is nevertheless true that, not only ic Hebrew but in all nistory, is God present. We are too apt to think of God, as certain Hebrews thought of Him, as a being who is on our side, and who chooses us for his special revelations and mercies, while ignoring the thought of God that the truly devout and prophetic Hebrews had. What the prophet saw was the importance of being on God's side. He knew that God did not make arbitrary choices and arbitrary judgments, that the Almighty was not a being subject to vain and human sentiments, ready to be swayed by man’s show of devotion and by the obsequiousness of his ritualjstic observance. The prophet saw God as a being of righteousness and truth, merci- {ul and just, ready to forgive and receive men who turned to Him from their sinfulness and error, hut nevertheless unyielding in His rightcous demands on those who cwed in reverenee wih irreverent hearts. Those who gave their allegiance to righteousness and truth were the chosen of the Almighty. ¥ 3 ’ day School Thr prophet saw the judgments of God meving in the lives of {ndividuals and nations. Some- times it seemed that these judg- ments were uncertain or deferred. The prophet saw the wicked and the unrighteous flourishing as the green bay tree, while saints suf- fered want and persecution. But things were not as they seemed. Injustice and sinfulness bad within them the seeds of ruin and defeat, where the integrity of righteousness, ne matter wha the condition, was as a sure foundation of blessedness. We see in these lessons a king: dom divided by strife. We see the downfall of tribes unwilling ta vield themselves in righteousness ta God’s guidance.

And God promised Abraham that if ten righteous souls should be found in Sodom He would ed Lot in the city of Sodom. The angels commanded Lot and his family not to look back upon the city. spare the city. Two angels then visit- to flee from the city, enjoining them “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” —Gen. 19: 26. Her figure may be seen at the left of the accompanying picture in which Matthew Merian por- trayed the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. “And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar; and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daugh- ters.”—Gen. 19: 30.
