Moore's Gsrden-CharIie Chaplin.

Charles Chaplin, better known as
Charlie" the wealthiest comedian in
filmland, will head the program at
Moore's Garden Theater Sunday, Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday in his
latest hurricane of merriment. 'The
Immigrant" 1t Is said to be filed to
overfowing with extravagant fun of
clean. wholesome variety, and the re-
doubtable Charlie has a wide range of
opportunity for the display Of his fun
making genius. He appears first as a
lowly immigrant on shipboard bound
for the United. States. He gets into
all sorts of difficulties with those in
authority on the ship. has his troubles
with the officials at Ellis Island, and
the police Of the Metropolis add to his
worries. In the end, however, he
triumphs over his tormentors. Chap
lin is the same old funny fellow in
this new piece and readily seizes every
opportunity for creating laughter. In
addition to Chaplin in "The Immi-
grant," the program will further in
clude a photo-drama starring a pop
ular camera player, and other first
run pictures.

regularity, they promptly swing
over to the other side, but in the
meantime they are the most serious
obstacle in the way of the members
OF society. The conformers are the
heaviest burden the unconformers
have to move. They lift up their
eyes in Mortified selfrighteousness at
the very mention of critics; forget

things as they are that the world be-
comes what it should be.

they called a wild visionary, sorely
disturbed the complacent spirits of
many of the convention-loving dwell

An out and out iconoclast was
Josiah. He smashed things. Affairs
and idols and temples went crum-
bling beneath his blows. You can
not purify foul pond with violet
water; or cure cancer by soothing
lotions. So Josiah scattered the
ashes of the idols upon the graves of
their worshipers, and he burnt the
bones of the false priests upon their
heather altars. Hard? Yes, but it
purged the land. There is no use
OF trying to hang pictures over polu-

Ps. 120-1-7; Ex
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Fruit comes from the root. 1t is
only by looking to the springs of our
lie that we can secure for ourselves
gracious and proper habits. We can
not fasten good habits to our lives
as the Jews fastened their religion
to their foreheads in the form of
phylacteries. If the impelling spir-
1t within us is right, if our hearts
are pure and noble, then there is
small danger of our speech being un-
desirable.
Good habits are as easily formed
as bad. 1t requires no more effort
OF will to grow into the custom of
doing noble things than it does to
become the slave of dsagreeable
habits. We are slow to recognize
the truth - though it is the truth.
neVertheless-that the habit of
oenevolence. for instance, is as
easily formed as the gossip habit.
Manners are the minor morals"
writes one. The agreeable good per-
son is no more good than the boor,
besides being twice as influential for
righteousness. Brute speech, morose-

The builders-up alone have a right
to tear down. Josiah alone was
real reformer. He destroyed the bad
only that he might do good. The
problem of the cities visited by Billy
Sunday is the problem of finding
means of Christian nurture and prof
table recreation for the converts OF
the great revival. The devil loves
q vacutm.
So Josiah the iconoclast, became
Josiah, the builder. He set about re-
construction the neglected dilapldat-
ed temple of Jehovah. With system
and throughness, and to the sound
of music the holy edifice was re-
stored, to be the center of the peo-
ple's religious interest and affection.
He supplanted the old which he had
overthrown with that which ives bet
fer, The people were saved from
wicked lives, and from what was
almost as bad empty lives The
voung man who had greatly dared
the seemingly impossible had ac-
it.
