Horses and automobiles have been

had their revenge, though 1t was one
that made them work. They were

If minister would reach the people who need a

through good theatrical performance.
The theatrical profession is no worse morally
than any other profession, and it has service to per-
form for humanity as we'll has the church. A min
lister is good and he is expected to be good He ought
to be good because he is surrounded by good in
