"MUTT AND JEFF IN COLLEGE"

Grand opera was succeeded by COM
ic opera, and comic opera by musical
comedy. Legitimate drama gave way
to farce comedy. Dramatic melo-
dramatic, travel and educational mo-
tion pictures are falling prey to the
ravages of comedy pictures. The an
swer: The people want to laugh,
first, last, and all the time. This has
been the nucleus of Gus Hills sue
cess. He has always aimed to make
the people laugh, therefore it is not to
be wondered at that Mutt and Jeff"
holds the undisputed record of finan-
cial and popular success of recent the
atrical history. Laughter Is the most
popular sensation on earth. Mutt and
Jeff' was conceived for philanthropic
purposes, TO cheer mankind and to
make them forget their real or imag-
mary troubles, in which quest these
two eccentric near human" charac-
ters have been eminently successful.
There are no restrictions as to class
or creed. all nations and all classes
of society, the drayman, the banker
and the children, look for their morn
ing newspaper to see what Mutt and
JEFF" are up to today. Gus Hill has Sc
lected company of fifty capable per-
formers to support the two come
dams who are physically fitted to de-
pict Bud Fishers own ideas, and has
made Mutt and Jeff in College" one
of the biggest hits of the season.
Everything is offered that will at
ford rest to the weary business tired
brain and men and women.
Mutt and Jeff In College" comes TO
the Washington Opera House next
Monday Go and see them. Ger
tainly, the show is nonsensical, so are
the cartoons, but you've laughed at
them for four years and you'll con-
tinue TO do so. Get seats early, then
you can be sure they'll be good ones.

Following the lesson of last Sun
day, in which the generosity of Bar
nabas and the hypocrisy of Ananias
and Sapphire is treated, we have the
account of the arrest of all the apos-
ties. Their preaching the resurrec-
ton of Jesus was displeasing to the
rulers because the doctrine of the di-
vinity was being generally accepted in
Jerusalem and the guilt of these
priests for having put him to death
was being established. To the aston
ishment of these men, the apostles
were miraculously delivered from
prison. But being taken a second
time and being threatened not to speak
in this name, they rejoiced that they
were counted worthy to suffer dishon-
or for the name Jesus. These start
ling experiences of the early church
but tended to the increasing of the
number of converts so that Grecian
Jews and native born Jews (called
Hebrews) and also that priests and
laymen, the very rick and the very
poor became members of that first
church. The having all things in
common" practice which was men
toned in the last lesson enabled the
church to care for the widows and
other needy ones. Because of the
greater number some were being
overlooked and their friends made
complaint to the extent of accusing
the Hebrews of neglecting the needy
foreign born Jew. The apostles wise
ly settled this trouble by having seven
native born Jews to look after this
business of daily distribution The
apostles now being free to preach, the
number of the disciples multiplied in
Jerusalem and a great company Of
priests was obedient to the faith.
ITOUnlt III tHc ' HuTCHs
Becaus the church is composed of
humans it is most natural that there
would be at some time or other some
misunderstanding Of some kind 1t
is the manner in which these are
treated that has caused the fair name
of the church to be disgraced The
apostles and the whole church mem
bership seemed anxious to avoid the
trouble and So the very very ones who
were complaining of being neglected
were given charge of the daily distri-
buttons. This would assure their
murmuring friends that they would
have their poor looked after. Too
many times misunderstanding of this
kind is enlarged by the hateful, re-
sentful way in which it is treated.
True Christianity demands that even
the accused should be big-hearted
and broadminded enough to let it APP
pear that the accuser may be honest,
though led by some false view of the
case. To hurl at the accuser names,
and to show fighting spirit is sure to
make the matter worse and not bet

Organization.

Like every other thing worth doing,
there should be some system in re-
ligiOus work. The church should be
so organized that the different things
will be looked after in the proper
time. Many a financial, social and
spiritual problem could be avoided II
the church were efficient in its organ
ization. What is everybody's bust
ness is nObody's business. 1t is evil
dent that one man can not do all that
is required to be done to keep a
church on the upgrade.
Having the system, let il be faith
fully worked. If you are a deacon, as
these seven were called, then do the
work of deacon. With them It was
daily service. For deacon, or an eld-
er, or Bible school teacher, or even
the individual church member who by
such relation has some work TO do,
to have to be constantly proded to
perform their individual tasks means
that the church will sooner or later
come stand-still or retrograd. The
men who were called TO this high Of
flee were men of good report and full
of the spirit. In other words. they
were consecrated men. They may not
have had prominent place before,
but being called to this task, the dig

There are, no doubt. many undeyel-
oped leaders in the churches of to-
day who need but TO be recognized

Such confidence placed in one will
most likely give him the necessary
self confidence TO lead him into a
larger work. In this way Stephen was
brought into prominence and he ad-
vanoed from Server Of tables" to
an evangelist of no mean ability. An
other result of the efficient organiza-
ton method is that the church will
