CONGREGATIONAL Church

Last Sunday morning Rev. Baker SIP oke
on the subject Truth, The Emancipa-
tori from the text I'VE shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you free"
We are coming TO understand that
there is nothing to fear in the truth,
even though it may shock our sensibil-
ties and dislodge some of our precon-
ceived notions, and that religious or any
other structures that are not founded
upon a basis of truth are deceitful nd
unsafe.
We are discovering also that people are
to be saved, not by falsehoods, however
augusty sanctioned, but by truths, and
that these truths have to be won by an
arduous and long continued process.
Theology is at last entering, with the
other sciences, into the realm of obserHa-
ton and experiment. Its authority
henceforth will be established, not on the
dictum of popes and church councils,
but on the verdicts of trained research.
If our theologes and our church creeds
will not stand the light of truth as
brought to bear upon them by reverent
research, we had better discard them.
This movement 50 slow at it's begin
nings, retarded by all the prejudices, the
ignorances of our race, is destined one
can see to an ever-excelerated movement.
In our everyday lives we grow in the
knowledge of truth by the practice of
what we have. II were utmost folly, TO
aspire to the highest truths in living
with men until we have learned so that
we can practice them automatically, the
fundamental truths of life. When this
knowledge is acquired, we can aspire adj
irfinitum. Many of the failures to re-
create society have res ulted from the
attempt to build from the top down,
rather than from the bottom up. Clean
the heart and the life will be clean; in
spire the will and the deeds will be holy;
sweeten the tongue and the words will
be noble; enrich the sympathies and
the resulting service will be sponta-
neous and helpful. 'Study to show thy
self approved unto Godw, a process
which requires constant effort toward
truth in whatever direction it may lie.

A Modern Ananias Nets Tidy
Sum for Masonic Temple
Fund

The three-act comedy drama, IA Mod
ern Ananias", given under the able direc
ton of Miss Gwendolen Smith. was mos
successfully presented at town hall las
Thursdayan Friday evenings, the pro
ceeds netting a tidy sum to be added to
the Masonic Temple fund. The play is {
light comedy piece and its success
as an amateur production depend:
largely upon the ability Of the cast ano
their adaptability to the part assigned
In this respect the selection in every cas'
was well made and each part was taker
in manner that reflected great credit
upon each and every member of the cast
and also not only sustained Miss Smith IS
reputation gained since her recent advent
into this class of work, but emphasized
her marked ability in this direction.
Morris B. White, as Lysander Lyon,
certainly lived up to his reputation as a
gentleman of vivid imagination. His
right to the title role was well earned
and his Interpretation OF the part all
that could be desired. T. B. Ell;s, an old
favorite in local theatricals, was seen in
a new role and as that dignifed uncle OF
Lysander, possessing a iorgiving dispo-
sition, took the part in manner that
showed careful study and an understand
ing Of the character that added much to
the effect of the piece. Darby Eastwood.
as the dude twas specially good, his make
up and the Pcadilly accent being really
out of the amateur class, part taken
by Roy Woods. AS Francisco, Lysan-
der's valet, Harold Dodge made much OF
minor part and with his elastic con-
science contributed considerably to the
situation. In the selection of Logan
Niles as Baby, Lysander's step-daugh-
ter, the success of the heavy comedy was
assured. Little Tootsy Wootsy" was
funny without trying, and the part lost
nothing in the hands of Logan, who is
always good. Nellie Goldengate, the
colonel's ward, who set her net for Ly-
sander, was very well taken by Miss Re-
ma Merrill. who acted the part in pleas
ing manner and succeeded in winning the
doctor from Prudence Mayflower, her
friend with New England notions, which
part was taken by Mrs. M. B. White,
who looked and acted the role most
creditably. To Miss Ethel Hoyt was
given the not so easy task of acting as
"Baby's" maid and she acted the part in
a refreshingly original and pleasing man
ner.
Each evening the specialties were un
usually good. They consisted of a song

SON., by Miss Rena Merrill, assisted by
the Misses Leta Nay, Isabelle Harris
Blanche. Comstock and Mrs. Harold
