The Church of God,

The Scriptures define sin as the
breaking of the law, and say that the
Ten Commandments are not annulled
but are briefly comprehended in this
saying, namely, "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." Also, "Here
are they that keep the command
ments OF God and the faith of Jesus. -
There is dreadful penalty attached
to the breaking of Gods law, and we
are warned to flee from the wrath to
come. Again, Paul speaketh: "For
while one saith, ] am of Paul, and
another, l am Of Apollos, are ye not
carnal?"
We are told to love and look for
the glorious appearing of Christ, and
that the Sabbath of the fourth conn
mandment is the seventh day of the
week, in celebration of the creation,
and that it is blessed and hallowed.
These things we teach, and exhort

Vining Bills For
Friday and Saturday
Friday.

Friday evening at the Vining Thea
tre the attraction is Pauline Freder-
lex, who made place in the movie
hall of fame for herself in her inter-
probation of Zaza, in a film adapta-
tion of the famous novel and play.
Bella Donna"
Bella Donna, a London adventur-
ess, lures the Hon. Nigel Armine into
marrying her in the hope of saving
her from the gossip of the capital.
He takes her to Egypt, where she be-
comes infatuated with powerful ma
tive, Baroudi, who persuades her to
poison her husband. This she does.
but as he becomes gradually weaker
and weaker from the effects of the
drug, Isaacson arrives and discovers
her treachery in time to save the
husbands life. Driven to hate Ar
mine and foiled in her attempt to kill
him, Bella Donna finally tells him the
truth in a burst of uncomfortable
fury. Then she goes to Baroudi, who
now discards her as being too dan
gerous. Stunned, she returns to her
home, only to be turned away by DR..
Isaacson, who sends her out into the
black desert and-what?
Saturday.
A Triangle program is Saturdays
attraction.
Lillian Gish, fast taking a place
alongside of Mary Pickford as one of
the really famous actresses of the
screen and regarded by many as a
far superior actress than the winsome
Mary, stars in clashing drama, "The .
Lily and the Rose" in which the con-
flict between the sweet southern girl
and the loud, florid, but charming
dancing gill for the love of the Lily's
husband furnishes inspiration for
some really great acting. One of the
thrilling and picturesque scenes is
that in which Miss Dolly as the Rose
does bewildering dance on the ocean
shore.
With this drama comes a sensation
comedy, "The Great Vacuum Rob-
berry" with Charles Murray playing
the role of typical dime novel de-
tective. The play is more than a
comedy--it is a scream.
The diversified Triangle programs
are making a hit with Ashland thea {
