supplies to the starving Belgians. Some
officials expressed grave doubt that the re-
lief work can continue.

and the Marian Lawrauce Sunday School, Toledo, Ohio

did that which was evil in the sight
Of the Lord'?" 1t Is Gods capacity
to make absolutely just and merciful
judgments which ought to make men
more glad to trust Him and to follow
His leadership.
Ill. Daniels Prayer.
In Daniel 9:3-10 is given the re-
markable prayer of Daniel for his peo-
Pile. People have been praying for
one another thru countless centuries.
Prayer is a vital part of religion and
an essential expression of the human
heart.
The remarkable thing about Dan
iel's prayer Is that he humbles him
self for the sins of his people. He
says: 81 set my face unto the Lord
God with fasting and sackcloth
and ashes l made confession
and said we have sinned and
have dealt perversely and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, ever
turning aside from thy precepts and
from thy ordinances" That was n
great deal for him to confess or adj
NIT. How far are we ourselves re-
sponsible for the sins of our day and
! Of our people? I think it was Charles
Kingsley who. said: 81 confess the
sins Of my times as my own II
that holds good, then each one is re-
sponsible, in more measure, for every
thing that is wrong or out of gear
today, Some responsibility even for
the great war may lie mt our door
We help to create public sentiment
for or against war. We express the
spirit of greed or the opposite in our
relations with men. When you pray
for. others do you confess your own
sins?

Israel and their contemporaries. He

scarcely understand the message of
great prophets like Isaiah unless we
know the story of these kings OF Is

put ever against Hezekiah, the faith
full. The story of Sennacherib, made
famous by Lord Byron, Is corrobor-
ated by tablets and inscriptions re-
Gently discovered. Manasseh, who
reigned fiftyfiye years, shows how a
leader may be overcome by the inftu-

| nj Josiah. Our hearts go out in ad-
| miration to Daniel and his compan-
ions who dared to defy Nebuchadnez-
zar and his power. II
What are kings for anyway? Are
they a back number in our modern
1 civilization? Some Of them are los
| ing their crowns in these recent days.
There are those who sympathize with
| this little newspaper verse:
Nick and Bill went up the hill,
Each promising no quarter;
Nick fell down and lost his crown
And many think Bill orter."
Certainly all rulers must justify
their authority by the fidelity Of their
| leadership. They will be tested as
other men are by their righteousness,
| Justice. mercy and unselfishness. We
are about settled today that we are
not going to permit little group OF
kings. however competent they seem

The merest statement regarding
The Birth of Nation leaps to SUI
neTIHtiyes because there is no other
form in which it can be written. 1t
covers the essential details of Amer
lean history ranging through three
centuries. Actual battles are shown
with tens of thousands of soldiers in
the conflict. $4,000 people partici
pated in the telling of the story.
Three thousand horses were used to
give the cavalry and other thrilling
effects of wild dashes over miles of
territory. Cities We're built up only
to be destroyed by fire. The total
cost OF the entire production was in
the ncighborhond OF $500,000. Five
hundred cOstumers and seamStreSses
worked for three months to make the
costumes worn by the people. And
yet with all this simple, human
story of love and romance weaves
through the vast spread of the action
aud grips the hearts Of the audience.
The narrative is filled with tears and
smiles. A sympathetic score accom-
panies the action and lends potent
force to the drama.

Stars will be paid the same as utility

This, of course, is all bunk. Stars
will still be able to command and Sc
cure good salaries, no matter what
the outcome of the strike may. be.
There is a strong feeling in well in
formed circles that the strike will
never come to an actual showdown.
1t is believed the magnates of the
majors will cause the minors to saIve
some of the grievances of the play

1t is hardly probable a strike would
be called over salary reductions.
That is something the fraternity has
