AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Three More Quality Acts and Fine
 Photoplays Today.

There is a great variety in the pro- Eramme at the Auditorium the first three days of this week. and the vau- deville and photOplay offerings are the three acts on the bill are capable of filling g headline position, and the standard set by the Auditorium is up- held in every item on the list.
 Egan & DeMarr, who are known as the original Texas Tommy dancers novelty, and this sprightly couple will demonstrate all that is new in the dancing line. A special scenic setting is carried for this act.
 Malumby & Musette have one of those real classy offerings which are always so popular, and it would not surprise the management if this clever pair of refined character harmo ny singers were the hit of the season.
 Joseph Egan has an unusual act, in the fact that he combines two acts in one. Mir. Egan is talented musician who plays several instruments in a way that proves he is an aceom pliShed musician, but he also has some very well trained dogs who are the acme of canine intelligence. This is an act that everyone likes.
 There are no better photoplays made than those under the Universal trade mark. and the tWo-reel 101-Bison fea, ture for today is a real feature. The title is Dolores De Arada, Lady of Sor- row, and it is drama of Mexican life played by Wiifred Lucas and Cleo Madison, two former Biograph stars. Augustus Carney better known as Universal Ike, will offer a cowboy corn edy, Almost a Hero, ard the Powers players present Stolen Glory, story of the stage.
 The management announces the coming in the near future of some very big feature films in addition fo the usual vaudeville programme.
 Flo Lawrence is coming Wednesday in three reel feature that is mas terpiece.

SECRETARY HILL
 OCCUPIED PULPIT.
Gave Inspiring Sermon at Morning Service at Congregational Church. Rev. Josiah Dickerman Preached in the Evening.

General Secretary Edwin Hill of the local Young Mems Christian associa- ton occupied the pulpit at the Taft Vile Congregational church Sunday morning and preached from the topic The Sweet Word Come
 The sermon in partewaS as follows: There are some words in our langua ge which stand out preeminently the sweetest: for instance, the word Home touches tenderly the inmost recesses of our hearts and reminds us of our childhood days, and we find ourselves living in the spirit of those familiar lines, Backward, turn backward, D Time, in thy flight, make me a child again, just for tonight
 Mother is another word with a tre- mendous influence, and doubtless the mention of 1t has turned the footsteps of many a prodigal back into the path which leads to mothers God.
 The word which MT. Hill emphasized was Come, in the relation ito certain scripture passa ges The first mention of it is in Genesis ': l. where God said to Noah after the ark was completed 'Come, thou and all thy house. into the ark"
 Happy Is the man who has learned the secret of finding rest at the hands Of the Christ of God. And then in Revelations. in the last chapter and well nigh the last verse, we find that for-reaching passage containing the words -'.Whosoever will may come"
 This passage in Revelations and the one in Genesis are alike and yet diffe~- ent' alike in that they both invite TO salvation. but vastly different in that the invitation in Genesis is confined to one family while that in Revelations knows no distinction. and has no limit, but it reaches clear down through the ages, even to the vilest creature that ever lived.
 In closing Mir. Hill suggested that f We were trained to understand heav- en's language we might hear the voices ofeour loved ones who have left us as they peer over the walls of the new Jerusalem and as they beckon to us they would say: Come home"
 But sweeter even than the invita- tons of our loved ones will be the voice of Him who is the sweetest among ten thousand" and the one all together lovely as he says to us some day: Come up higher
 Let us all live so that we will be able to accept with joy the gracious invita- ticn to that land where tears are un- known and happiness reigns supreme.
 The evening service was conducted by Rev. Josiah Dickern1an
