prominent part in THE Riviera Girl" at

grouchy or know OF those unfortunate in

it is just brm full of optimism, blue

story is about the efforts OF the daughter
OF grouchy parents to instill cheerfuness
into their lives and the efforts of Il strug-

succeed. While there is not enough oppor-

PENDLETON is PLAYING GAME
OF ssFREEZE OUT" WITH GOD IN
OPINION OF DR.. J. Q. A. HENRY

Ily. DR.. Henry asserted that the
churches are barely holding their own
ia numerical growth. That the sal
walton Of the country must be made
in the cities as the cities at present
are dragging the country and demo-
cracy to ruin.
Pendleton would be a different and
better town IL the business men
would give God chance to speak
through them. This city is noted for
it's fair play and big hearted men but
as far as God is concerned 1t looks
Ike a game of freeze-out with the
cards stacked. What are the professed
Christians of Pendleton doing to save
PendIeton for Christ? Gods only
way OF manifesting himself is through
mankind and If the Christian people
OF the city are barely holding their
own, Pendleton is a doomed town
morally and spiritually. DR.. Henry
severely flayed the church members
for their apparent lack of spiritual
fibre saying many church members
have no positive belief or faith what
scever. Pulpits are filled with
preachers who lack power and pas
