IMPROVEMENTS WILL
BE MADE AT THE IRIS

The Iris Theater force will be
busy in a few days installing a
new curtain and screen in this pop
ular amusement house. About a
week ago Manager Kurrle made
arrangements with j. E. Mcclure
of the Perrie Syndicate of ST..
Louis, one of the best curtain
painting establishments in the
middle west, to install in his theater
one of what is called the "Newtone
Daylight Screen" and very pretty
front drop curtain, carrying a
beautiful scenic panel in the CEN
ter.
The "Newtone Daylight Screen"
Mr.. Mcclure explains, is the out
come of process of painting, or
mixture of water colors, which
when applied to the screen, will
give an absolute white and black
picture, doing entirely away with
the yellow tint which is hard on
the eyes and has spoiled many
beautiful story on the canvass on
account of the muddy, smurky
effect. The company has guar
anteed that this screen does away
with the glare which is also very
straining on the eyes. Again it is
said that the pictures can be shown
on this screen fully as plain with
all the house lights burning, as in
a dark house. While this will not
be the custom in the Iris, it will
allow the burning of one or two
lights and this will make the room
bright enough for any one to find
suitable seats.

WHAT IS THE COST
OF REFUSING?
EVANGELIST SMITH UNRAVEES
DELuSIoN OF SOME WHO RE-
FUSE TO ACCEPT CHRIST.

In his discussion on phases of enter
ing the Christian life, Evangelist
Smith chose as his subject last even.
ing, The Cost of Not Being a Chris
tian,"H and, as is frequent with him.
he used a number of texts rather than
one.
Mr.. Smith said: zone of the decisions
which confronts the one contemplate
ing entering the Christian life is that
1T costs to much, when the fact is the
cost is on the other side. l am glad
there is a sense in which it does cost
something. ! am glad that l can sur
render something to show God that l
appreciate what He has lone and is
doing for me. AS l said early in the
week, l have no patience with the get
Notwithstanding spirit which
possess many who want to be saved,
but do not want to do anything in re-
turn. But pile up all the cost of your
imagination, and when done | assure
o it costs a whole lot more not to
be a Christian than it does to be one,
and l am now referring to the life
that now is, and not the one which is
to come.
First of all it costs peace with
God not to be a Christian. In proof
note these words: There is no peace
saith my God to the wicked isaiah
57:21.) And Therefore being justified
by faith, we have peace with o
through our Lore Jesus Christ
Romans 5:1.) Peace does not neces-
sarily mean having a good time, for
SHINING is having a good time, or being
worldly is having a good time, and be-
ing either sinful or worldly is not
having peace with God. No! Being
justified through Christ, and being
reconcilled to God through Christ, is
what 1t means to have peace with God.
But some one protests against that
word wicked by saying, I am not a
wicked person 1t is true that you
but you are as far away from Gods
idea of Wickedness as you were con-
corning peace. Any transgression of
Gods law is wickedness, so I can
quote the text, and neither add to
nor take from in this way: There is
no peace, saith my God, to any trans
gressOr of Gods law and YOU will
have it right. 1t costs you peace with

and by the help of God 1 will not.
Sin is not worth that much.

and by the help of God 1 will not.
Sin is not worth that much
In the second place it costs free
dom not to be a Christian. / ask YOU
to note a significant saying of Jesus:
If the Son tChrist) therefore shall
make you free, We shall be free indeed
This is a liberty loving land, and we
are a liberty loving people. We love
to sing and boast of the land of the
free and the home of the brave and
rightly SO. l am casting no slurs
upon liberty and loyalty, but just the
same our ideas Of liberty and those of
Almighty God differ vastly. With
many at least liberty means license
to sin, and sin means bondage. l
spoke to a oun man some time ago,
urging him to be Christian, and he
said: I like my liberty too Well 1
said to him: Young man, you not
only are not at liberty, but are in
bondage And after a little probing,
that young mans besetting sin, to
which he was a slave, came to the
surface, and he saw the point, accepted
Christ, and became free for the first
time in his life. Accepting the Savior
means freedom from the guilt, the
bondage and the burden of sin. T
know some of you deluded ones will
look upon this as a fancy and as fic-
ton. but it is, in spite of it, n of
the greatest and most blessed facts in
the world. 1t costs you real freedom
not to be a Christian. Can you pay
such a price? If so, sin must be Won
derfully attractive to you. God give
you freedom from it.
zone of the most precious things in
this world is answered prayer, and
costs answered prayer not to he a
Christian. Whatsoever We shall ask
the Father, in My name, He will give
it you. And this he said not once,
but many times. To refuse Christ
means that you are rejecting the one
through prayer ascends and the an
sWer descends. Fact is, the Bible is a
great storehouse of treasure, and the
key that unlocks the door is Gods
terms of peace-Christ prayer is but
of the thousand more things which it
costs. Can you pay such a price
for sin, selfishness and wo~rldliness??
Again l say, I cannot and by Gods
grace I will not.
another wonderfully attractive
thing to all mankind is hope. Did you
ever meet a hopeless person? If 50
you met the most unhappy mortal it
was ever your experience to be in
touch with. But | doubt that they
We're really hopeless. No doubt they
thought and felt so, but in Gods sight
there is but one person who is really
hopeless, and that is the non-Chris-
tian. Note these awful words: A
that time We We're without Christ,
having no hope, and without zoe in
world 1t is the one without Christ
who is hopeless, no matter how rich,
or proud OF influential. Can you pay
the price of hope to be a sinner?
"Bue some of you are asking, How
about the money side of his thing?'
In reply, let me say look at it from
