CHURCH DIVIDED BY
STRIFE, PASTOR SAYS
Some Fight One Another More Than
the Devil" Rev. Dr.. Montgomery
Tells Congregation.

That sectarian competition has divided
the church today and that lack CT
knowledge so often engenders bitterness
to the extent that sometimes different
seCts fight one another more than they
do the devil was the declaration OF
Rev DIR. James Shera Montgomery in a
sermon last night ut the Metropolitan
Memorial VI. +. Church.
The divided church front OF today is
as the confusion of tongues was a long
time ago. said Dr. Montgomery. If
we knew each other better. the 'isms'
that cause shameful divisions would soon
fade away.
THE very names of some churches are
Indicative and memorials Of strife and
disputation. The most notable fact about
a church is not its origin. but its ability
this very hour to serve God and to help
man. otherwise it is spent force.
If the kernel Of church competition
was turned t. the strength OF holier
living and doing. the church would be
like a general, with his genius all aglow.
marching his army to sure victory.
There is one power which Is able TO
penetrate all the obstacles which creed
and custom put in the pathway Of the
upward march Of the world. 1t is at once
the simplest and the profoundest truth
Of the ages The love of Christ will
light up the pathway for the pilgrims Of
the night time OF earth's differences and
strifes"

FRANCIS WILSON
REVIVES "ERMINIE"
One Comic Opera that Was So Good
that 1t Would Stand a
Revival.

Ermlnie was an opera that made the
atrical history both in England and IN
these United States, and incidentally
Erminie brought both fame and fortune
TO the door o. Francis Wilson. Erminie
was Originally produced at the Grand
Birmingham. England, Novem-
Der .. 1886. The first American Produc-
ton was ma ie b. Rudolph AronsOn at
the Casino. New York, May 10. 1856.
Erminie logged merrily along at the
famous New York playhouse for 1.2j6
performances and made the composer.
Edward Belville. better known as Jaka-
bowski $12C,COO in royalties. Jakabowski
wrote nine other operas, but never an
other Erminie.
The original New York cast of Erminie
included Pauline Hall, Marie Jansen.
Marion Manola. Jennie Weathersby.
Agnes FOLSOM. Rose Beaudet. William S
Deball. Harry Pepper. Carl Irving. Max
Freeman, w. w. Maflin, Murry Woods
and the Incompatible comedian Francis
Wilson. a new generation has arrived
since Francis Wilson delighted theater
goers with his side-splitting impersona-
tion of "Caddy." a revival of Erminie
with Francis Wilson sounds good and

Real Mushrooms

We Europeans think of America as .
country given somewhat to exaggeration.
when IL comes TO the production OF trees.
fruits and other vegetable growths. says
a dispatch to the Boston Transcript. The
little Austrian Tyre is sometimes given
to exaggeration In this direction too.
In front of our house, which hung over
n blue depth of valley. and clung to the
mountain side like n barnacle to n rock
space WAS dug out so that one could
walk for as much as three yards on the
level Once leave this space and one
either climbed upward, balanced on tho
slant or plunged downward.
Around the house and bordering the
road that led up the mountain were Ttal-
ian chestnut trees, so large that 1t took
from three to five Of us to span tho
trunks of most OF them. Under one of
these one evening | saw crouching what
took TO be a small. dark gray kitten.
STOPPING. l found that II was not a kit
ten, but a mushroom.
Our good peasant neighbor, hurrying
toward me. begged that would not dis
turb it, saying that she depended on this
every year. After n few days OF rain,
what has seemed a kitten now looked a
stately cat. and when It reached the
weight of six pounds 1t was gathered and
eaten.

Melancholy Films

From time to time the melancholy
films come in unwelcome quantities.
The deathbed scenes. the athletics of
the dying villains and heroes, the
beautiful father walloping the
"chee-ild' in the cradle, the ladies and
more or less picturesque suicide, the
last ceremonies of an execution, etc.
etc, are altogether de trop. or, as they
say in Chicago, dee trow."
We have too much of this gloomy
stuff. There are two or three of our
native and foreign producers whom
we are constrained to suspect of cnr-
rying favor with undertakers because
of the frequency of their death scenes
and beautiful" funerals. says the Nov
ing Picture World Only recently a
cf poor cripple who it was claimed
had been driven to suicide by viewing
a succession of gloom dealing films
There are people who love the titilla-
ton of the horrible. but they are in
the minority by q decided majority.
There is no sense In spreading gloom
on the screen.
People go to moving picture thea
tres to escape the glooms of life rath-
cr than to find them. Gloom In its
proper place In the development of a
dramatic story is unavoidable, but
gloom for glooms sake is unpardona-
than the cheerless Tombstones and
cemeteries do not look a bit more
cheerful on the screen than in reality,
and few people want to spend more
time than is required by attendance at
a funeral in places intended for the
burial of the dead. The gloon" film
is entitled to long vacation.
