Dustin Farnum in Cameo Kirby the new Lasky production which is to be seen at the Arizona theater to-
 night is a romantic drama of New Orleans and the far south in the days before the war. when gentlemen adventurers really lived and the spirit of daring has not become commer- cialized. Cameo" Kirby, the sor
 a bankrupt plantation owner. with a native fondness for gambling, is the hero of the tale, which involves a story of true love that runs far from smoothly but comes to % happy con- clusion. Young Kirby gets his name Cameo" through his fondness for canoes of every size, shap and de- scription, which he wears in place

Is Our Type Of Christianity
Failing?

We are carrying on another page
recent editorial utterance of The
Memphis Commercial Appeal, en-
titled "The Problem of the Young
in 1916" which deserves more
consideration than mere cursory
reading. It deals with the most
stupendous task Of both the state
and church-the right rearing of
our youth. The condition of affairs
therein set forth, if it be true, is GER
tainly most deplorable and alarm
ing. And that is qepitcs things
substantially as they are is our
ffm belief. At any rate, it is in
accord with our observation as to
what is going on.
We are living in a most per-
picking age. Perhaps never before
was there SO much boasting of
what we are doing for the moral
uplift of the world--so mucE &C.
clesiastical spreadeagleism. Our
church and school material equip
ment surpasses that of any prece-
ding period. The Bible is more
widely circulated than at any
former time, the various religious
denominations numerically strong
er, and in the aggregate, if not
proportionately, the gifts to benev-
olent causes are much larger than
they were in the past. Various re-
forms are noisily advocated, and
we are loud in our assertions that
we are much better than were our
fathers and mothers. Yet to the
man of insight indications are not
lacking that the agencies at work
among US for the upbuiling of
society are falling far short of
accomplishing what is claimed for
them. The true test of such agen-

whole of it is needed to accomplish
this most stupendous of all tasks
known to earth, and it is utterly
futile for any other agency beneath
the skies to attempt it. The real
strength of Christianity is not in
fine churches, nor in learned and
eloquent preaching, nor in grand
choirs and splendid music, nor in
we'll endowed colleges and mag
nifcent literature, nor even in an
intellectual knowledge Of the Holy
Scriptures, but in the mighty life
giving power of the Holy Spirit.
Take the latter away from the
church and she is as weak as any
other merely human organization
and is wholly impotent to do her
heavenl y-appointed work. Is there
not too much tinse], too much gilt

pomp and pride, too much magni-
flying of material things and too
much neglecting of spiritual life
and power in tha Christianity of
our patton? Alas! we fear that
this is trne. And if it is. final

The Bible itself is only indi-
rectly the power of God unto
salvation. Its highest value lies
not in its ethics or ideals, not in
the abstract truths that it teaches,
but in the fact that it instructs men
bow to find the Triune God that

lures and impart spiritual life and
strength to their perishing souls.
When the church is self sufficient
and self-reliant, she can do but
little; it is when she looks most to
God and feels most her depend
ence upon him that she is strong
est and most invincible. This is
the most outstanding, and yet ap-
parently the most easily forgotten,
truth in human history. Shall we

Piles have done, and, like them,
tread the path of disaster and
ruin? Time alone will teIl.-New
