She questions whether she has the right to her fathers name. Judge Judson Marshbanks and Emma Haskell, housekeeper for wealthy Mrs. porteous Porter in San Francisco, are ber guardians. When Cherry Is twenty Emma gets her a secretarial Job with Mrs Porter, but she goes first to the the Maishbanks mansion, meeting judges young wife and his rich niece, Amv, daughter of his brother, Fred, now dead. Life at Mrs. Porters becomes monotonous and Cherry Is thrilled when Keliv Coates, an artist, sends her a box of candy, and she Is jealous when he brings Fran to a party at Mrs. Porters. Emma tells Cherry that her sister Char lotte was Cherrys mother. Kelly takes Cherry along so Fran can visit his studio, and Cherry senses that he is very much in love with Fran, but soon he tells Che; ry despondently that Fran has promised the judge she will not see him any more. Mrs. Porter dies, leaving Cherry $1,500, and she learns from Marshbanks that Ills brother Fred, who was Amys Of course I dont know what she said, the judge admitted with a father, was also her father.

But in peace times, more shame to us, hungry and idle and shabby lads roam the streets at night and fall into all the mischief that idleness and poverty and cold and hunger and shabbiness encourage. And we punish them for it Love Is Power Behind Good. It is hard to see the light of Gods law through our stupidity and the darkness of our vision. But it lives on; it inspires us in every bandage that we roll, every cookie that we bake, every sweater we knit. Love is the power behind them all, and it is to that love that we must trust. When a sense of helplessness and hopelessness overwhelms you, then remember that stronger than all the leaders put together is the miraculous force of prayer. Remember that no woman, her heart sick with anxiety over the absent sons, her brain bewildered and tired by the problems that loom vaster and vaster above us no woman ever interrupted her dishwashing or her ironing to kneel down and say the old prayer that begins, Our Father, without arising from her knees stronger in courage and refreshed in spirit Every prayer that goes to God is a spark of light in the dark. It finds some bitter need somewhere, on the cold mountains of China, in the crowded huts of India; it eases some suffering, it softens some blow. Send your gift of prayer, if you like, to todays most heartbroken mother; send it, if you like, to the in boy who is lying some base hospital, and have bis nurses wonder why he is suddenly better, why he has fallen at last into a healing sleep? Fantastic to think that we can send prayer abroad, to spread peace and blessing among those whom we never will know, and whose thanks never will reach us? Well, there are many fantastic delusions In this world, such as that money brings happiness, or that a beautiful girl is always a happy girl We fool ourselves about half the things we know, or think we know. But not about prayer. Peace and infinite good are as plentiful as the air we breathe, as close as the air we breathe. In every spare moment enter into the empire of Gods peace, spread this union of prayer all over the world and perhaps, when the war is won, and the days of readjustment come, we will find it stronger than we have ever dreamed, we will find ourselves worthy to formulate the plan that shall bring us a little near- er to the Kingdom.
