Gray's novel of that title one of the "six best sellers" at the time of it's publication. The Edison management, realizing the dramatic possibilities of MT. Grays book. made arrangements for its production in film form. and the result is one of the strongest vehicles Mir MacDermott and Miss Nesbitt have ever had.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.


Kansas City Minister Sees in Present
Conditions Ending of Christian
Age
The "signs of the times declare the
second coming of Christ is near at
hand" DR.. George E. Newell, pastor
of the Third Presbyterian church at
Kansas City, Mo-, declared in SER
mon:
'We now have reached a tifne when
the gospel has been preached in
every nation" said DR.. Newell. "And
not only are the Jews returning to
Palestine, but they are gathering ma
terial to rebuild Solomon's temple.
"Paurs description in Second TIM
othy, 81 and a, of the 'perilous
times before Christ's second coming
fits our own age. This IS a time Of
great catastrophes, or earthquakes,
fires, battles and disasters.
"The disSbedience of children to
parents has increased aiarmingly in
the last half century. In thousands
of homes no grace is said at meal
time. Then people are becoming low
ers of pleasure rather than lovers Of
God.
"This also is q blasphemous age. a
child can't go five blocks on an er
rand without hearing profanity and
obscene things.
SIN spite of our boosted morality
there are 100000 prostitutes in the
United States.
"The turning away of Christians
from their faith as spoken of in TIM
othy is being fulfilled. There has
been no time at which the people have
turned more to 'isms' and 'seducing
doctrines There are thirty-one men
in the world today claiming to be
Christ.
"The words spoken by Christ pre-
dieting wars and rumors of war and
the rising of nation against nation
before the end, are being fulfilled.
"From the time of the Civil war
here has scarcely been nation not
at war. And now we have virtually
the world engaged in the combat.

CHANGE IN EXERCISES
Certain Features in Commencement
Program to be Omitted at Episco-
pal Theological Seminary.

1t has been definitely agreed by
the board of trustees Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Theological Semi
nary near this city, that the regular
commencement exercises with the
exception of the ordination service
will not be held at the close of the
present session. The faculty of the
Seminary are in unanimous accord
with this decision of the board Of
trustees. The authorities of the Sem
mary feel the solemnity of the crisis
that is overshadowing the nation in
it's entrance upon the great conflict
that is shaking practically the whole
world, and by which new order
will be established in the interests
of larger liberty and finer sense Of
world righteousness through the al
lies with whom this nation are in
full accord. Al number Of the secu-
lar institutions like the University Of
Virginia and William and Mary
College are closing without any pub
lie exercises. 1t is felt that church
institutions should follow the same
example this year. So there will be
no alumni meeting and dinner nor the
usual luncheon for visitors. The or
dination service will be held on We'd
nesday, June the 9Th, at eleven
o'clock in the chapel. 1t will be a i
public service to which all who can
come will be heartily welcomed, but
no conveyances will be provided on
that day for taking people to and
from the Seminary, nor will any en-
tertainment be provided at the Semi
nary for visitors on that day.
The regular annual meetings of the
board of trustees of the Seminary |
and of the Education Society will
be held as usual, but these are not !
connected with the commencement !
exercises.
of Flag to the Chapel
A handsome woven silk flag was
placed in the Chapel this week, and
hangs in the front of the. choir,
little back from the pulpit. 1t will
be the memorial Offering Of the pres
ent senior class to the Seminary, in
accordance with a laudable custom
now established by the senior classes
as they have left the Seminary for
years past. The senior class OF
last year presented walnut lectern
to be used on the days of senior
preaching. and on other special oc-
casions in the chapel. The memorial!
flag given by the present senior
class is especially fitting at this
time. and will ever remain in its
sacred place. as token of the Joy-
altv of tho students of the Seminary
and in fact of all connected with the
institution at the crisis OF the
worlds history in which our country
heartily unites with its allies IN
standing for righteousness and lib
crty.
The flag placed in the church also
the great principles
taught by st. Paul. Let every soul
be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but Of God and
the powers that be are ordained OF
God" 1t also reminds the worship
pers in such churches. as adopt tai$
custom, of vital principle Of the
reformation Of the sixteenth cen
turv that the civil authority in its
sphere is supreme over all persons
both ecclesiastical and secular IN
all their civil relations of life.
