Theater and Church.
IRey. M. o. Boynton.i

fteN. NJ. ". DoSlito''.J
There Is nothing in common be-
tween the modern playhouse and the
Christian churches. They stand at the
antipodes. the playhouses catering to
the lower nature of man and the
churches appealing to the noblest ana
best in man. A tree is known by its
fruits. The influence of the modern
theater Is to shallow ones mind, TO
dull ones conscience, to counterfei.
ones emotions and to throw false
perspective into life. Who ever heard
of any charity that was inspired by
the theater? Where are the institu-
tons that have been founded for all
humanity by It's inspiration? Those
who come forth of the playhouse live
on a descending plane.
1T is the shame Of many professed
Christians who are church members
that they are compromised by their
patronage of the ordinary playhouse.
Such members are very sensitive and
holly resent any rebuke They care
more for their own pleasure than for
the glory of God and the success of
Christ's kingdom in the earth. They
try to live In the camp of the world
for the satisfaction Of the flesh and
hold sort of spiritual insurance In
the church for the salvation of their
worthless souls. These double minded,
unstable, self-centered, world-seeking
members constitute the scandal Of the
church In the world and the milestone
about the neck of the church in her en-
deavor to save men.
This Is the blight of the playhouse.
No one worldly institution is leading
more Christians astray. No class Of
essemblages is creating more false
ideas of life; no commercial enterprise
is turning out a baser citizenship than
the playhouses in all Of our great cit
les"

Either foot ball or base ball Is safe

THE PASSION FOR
GENERALIZING

Generalizing from single instances
Is as foolish as IL is universal The
last few months have been developed
to attacks on the rich and the evil
influences OF riches. until there Is
danger OF our forgetting that poverty
has also it's faults. The searchlight
has recently been thrown ON the in
ner workings of many great corpora
tons, and the whole world is aghast
One would think from some OF the
of money had also monopolized wick
edness. Yet read the criminal re-
ports or look about you and you Will
fine that few stones will be cast az
the magnates If only those who are
without sin cast them. The news OF
the day will tell OF preachers caugh'
I'm theft or adultery. OF honest
blacksmiths betting their children
of children killing one another, OF
druggists selling poisoned soda water
of bakers vending unclean bread. of
theological students cheating. Eicn
trede has it's graft; each mind Is
twist; each body its tendency to lis
ease
The fact is that drawing indict-
mcnts against classes is as insane
and illogical as drawing indictments
against nations. There are burglars
WHO are chaste. and parsons whe are
suts; there are rich women who arc
nuns of ascetici5m, and poor women
who are so vilely extravagant as tC

SHORTGE OF CARS.
COAL COMPANIES ALL OVER TIE
COUNTRY ARE AFFECTED
At PRESENT.

Both East and West the question
OF car supply daily is becoming more
urgent with the railroads. Traffic
managers of important systems in
all parts of the country find the de
mand increasing and their ability 10
meet il Is steadily declining. Perhaps
the interests suffering most severely
from tho shortage that exists are
the coal operators.
When the coal strikes occurred ear
lier i'm the year cars usually assign
ed to the hauling of coal were divert
ed to other uses. Now it appears inn
possible to get them back to their
original application.
They have become so widely scat
tered over the various systems that
it is impossible to get them punched
in the manner required for utiliza-
ton in the coal trade again.

AT THE CHURCHES YESTERDAY.

Vacation time suggested to the
Rev. w. L. Cave, pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church, the subject OF
his sermon Sunday morning, Quiet
Resting Places" His text was taken
from the seriptural promise that the
chosen people shall rest in quiet pla-
ces, and with incidental reference to
the manner in which people general
ly spend their vacation time, the
minister mentioned some of the
quiet resting places in life. Among
them are obedience to parents, per-
Torrance Of duty and the honest
meeting of other obligations of life.
These he said give spirit of quietude
to life even in the most strenuous en-
yironments, and form the only ans
wer to the human cry for rest

Day exercises will be observed in the
Presbyterian church. Next week the
