WANTS CHURCHES ATTRACTIVE
Capt. Valiant Will Discuss "Religion
of Future" Tomorrow.

The blazing hades described by many
authors and speakers, with it's leather
skinned imps and sulphurous fumes. will
be denounced as myth by Capt. Theo-
dore Valiant, an evangelist. in sermon
at Luna Park tomorrow evening. The
speaker will take as his subject THE Re-
ligion of the Future" and will advocate
modern church brilliantly electric
lighted, with catching music. 1t is his
opinion that a church conducted along
the lines of Luna Park and other similar
resorts would draw the crowds and win
men and women from wickedness. In
his sermon last Sunday Capt Valiant de-
clared that churches that are mOrgueike
and solemn attract only the morbid few.
Happiness is magnet he mainta ms,
whether it be in evidence at a picnic or a

flowers: Shake of your caterpillars. II
you don't they'll gobble you up"
So the flowers set themselves a-shaking
till the caterpillars were shaken off. In
one of the middle beds there was beau
tiful rose who shook of all but one. and
she said to herself: "Oh, that's a beauty:
will keep that one" The elder over
heard her and called. "One caterpillar Is
rose. Look at his brown and crimson fur.
and his beautiful black eyes. and scores
of little feet. l want 10 keep him. Surely
one won't hurt me"
A few mornings afterward there was
not a whole leaf left on the rose. Her
beauty was gone: she was all but killed,
and had only life enough left TO weep
over her folly. while the tears stood like
dewdrops on the tattered leaves Alas:
l didn't think one caterpillar would ruin
me- said she. She had her desire. but IL
brought ruin instead of satisfaction.
