"QUO VADIS"
"QUO VADIS"

Unparalleled in the world for photo
graphic beauty, human interest,
dramatic power and spectacular grandeur
is George Kleines production of the
Cines photo-drama Quo Vadis" which
is to be the attraction at the Victor
Theatre OIL the night of June 80. Al
though this is a stroug statement to
make, it is fully verified by the remark
able runs this attraction has had i'll the
Astor Theatre, New York City, the
Garrick at Philadelphia, McVicker's in
Chicago, fremont Theatre i'll Boston and
a host of other cities under the most
adverse circumstances and i'll summer
time, too, when every other dramatic
form of entertainment has failed to at
tract the public into theatres. This fact
alone is sufficient substantiation of
almost any assertion that may be made
about this truly wonderful photo-drama.

INLAND WATERWAYS. Louisiana and Texas League Con. yenes at New Orleans.

New Orleans, La., Dec. 4.-Several hundred delegates are now in this city to attend the annual convention of the Interstate Inland Waterway league of Louisiana and Texas, which today opens it's two-day session here.
 This organization, which is about 10 years old, has secured $2,500,000 in government appropriations for cut ting various sections of the interna- tienal canal, but the difficulty in ob- taining right of way has tended to hinder the, progress of the work.
 New Orleans is particularly inter- ested in the Morgan city-New Orleans section of the intercoastal canal. Sec retary of the Navy Daniels has point cd out that such a canal would be of great value in time of war, but the waterways enthusiasts are chiefly concerned with it's industrial and eco- homie importance.

CHAPTER 13


 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no pow CTS but of God: the powers that be are ordanied of God.
 ?. Whosoever therefore resistGth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall re- Ceiva to themselves damnation
 3. For rulers are not a terror to aood works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power to that which is good, and thou shalt have praise or the same:
 4. For he is the minister of God 10 thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid for Il ebear- eth not the sword in vain: fol nc is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
 ,. Wherefore yet must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

 As Described in
 THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

7. Render therefore to all theil dues: tribute to whom tribute is due custom to whom custom; fear t( whom fear; honour to whom honour
 s. Owe no man any thing, but t( love one another: for he that lovetf another hath fulfilled the law.
 9. For this, Thou shalt not com init adultery, Thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt moi Lear false witness, Thou shalt no' covet; and if there ba any other com lnandment, it is briefly comprehendec in this saying, namely, Thou shal1 love thy neighbour as myself.
 10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the full filling of the law.
 Il. And that knowing the time that now it is high time to awake ou1 of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
 12. The night is far spent, the day ia at hand: let us therefore cast oil the wol ks of darkness. and let us pu on the armour of light.
 13. Let us walk honestly, as in tae Gay; not in rioting and drunkenness rot in chambering and Wantolneas not in strife and envying.
 IA. But put ye on the Lord Jesu; Christ, and make not provision fol tLe flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
