"Roasts" and Newspaper Makes
Plain Talk.

One San easily sympathize with an
actor manager, and not less. as in a
recent instance, with an actress-man-
agrees, who finds that personal esti.
mates Of the merits Of play are not
Endorsed either by the critics or by
that far more important section OF the
community, the playgoing public. But
the growing practice on the part OF
those who control our theaters of
showing something like petulance, or
worse. when they find they have made
a mistake is full OF awkward possi-
bilities. Gerald du Maurier's outburst
is the latest instance in point Be
cause those whom he invited to ex-
press opinions on his new venture.
"The Dust Of Egypt" told the truth
about It and failed to indulge in
paeans Of praise he writes a porten-
tous letter to ask what Is a critic?"
The best answer we have seen comes
from A. G. Benson; Il suppose that
an expert critic Is a man with natu-
raj faculty Of discrimination which
has been trained by experience" One
ls disposed to believe, after Witnessing
the sorry stun so often put upon the
stage, that a little more exercise Of
a faculty for discrimination trained
by experience would be to the gen.
sral advantage in the enterprise Of the
theater. 1t would spare the critics
many dull hours, the managers much
loss of money, and-where they can
not take their losses in a sporting
spirit--of temper, while the public
opinion Of the stage and all it's works
would be immensely improved.-The

Representative Hamilton Of West

Leader Mann that is gem in its way,
"1he gentleman from Illinois" said
Mr. Hamilton, "only eats on Sundays
and never sleeps at all. II he had
been a marshal under Napoleon at
Waterloo the battle might have re
suited differently, because he would
have discovered the absence of Grou-
chy at the proper time and suggested
the absence of quorum. And. II nee

AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE

1t would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
sore and inflamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. It was awful. He
suffered tortures from It. and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend of mine

Trust and OheY

To disobey Is to distrust always
Those who obey God must trust God
most. and those who trust him most
obey him most. The only man who
has ever trusted God completely and
always. never disobeyed God. II we
set out TO follow a guide who tells
us that the only way in which we can
come safely through to our journeys
end Is by following his every footsten
and We then turn aside at any point
to try our own way. We are showing
our distrust. no matter how vehement.
iy we declare. or even believe. that we
DO trust him. So faith is surrender.
The only terms upon which we can
enjoy full faith IN Christ are uncon.
ditional surrender.
