ANSWERS e eyN GREY

Instead of tying to bring
the world to the church. why
not scatter the church more
effectively thruout the world?
Would 1t not be we'll to con-
vert our church buildings into
hospitals, orphanages and old
peoples homes, thus serving
humanity after the pattern
which Christ has set for us?
This could be an organized
work, carried on by the church,
and should be strictly inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL.
Instead of the clergy, and
just few who have, SEEM
tngly, been set apart as spir-
itual teachers, and leaders,
why should not everyone who
names the name of Christ feel
equally responsible for the
life they are to live, and be
ready at all times to give a
reason for the hope that is
within them. thus by their life
of love and service exert an in
fluence wherever they may
move among men?
The great amount of money
contributed to the support of
pastors of the many different
churches could then go into
other lines of the work, to the
good of humanity. These same
men, IL not tied down with the
church organizations, etc.,
could earn their living by many
various trades or occupations,
and still preach the gospel on
Sundays, going to and fro as
did our Master himself, wher-
ever a crowd could be gathered
together.
Sunday school missions
should be maintained in every
district thoroly equipped, and
with well trained teachers, on
salary, just as our day school
teachers. This too, should be
non-denominational.
ALI missionary societies ought
to grow and flourish under this
proposed plan, for the simple
reason that the one complaint
you hear nowadays on every
hand is lack of time. Under
the present system of organized
churches Just the certain few.
in any church can be depended
upon, hence these are over
worked and overtaxed physi-
cally. This detracts and actu-
ally saps the spiritual >until
the joy of God intended us to
know in His service is not felt.
Do not think l would cast
aside the sacredness of the
Lords day; but let us put a
greater sacredness to each and
every day, so far as living our
Christian life is concerned, and
we would all find ourselves in
true spirit OF true worship on
Sunday whether we be in a
church building or one of our
beautiful parks.
Wouldn't the names attach
ed to the many different
churches soon vanish, and peo-
pie would be called no other
name than Christian?
l hope you can give space
to this, as | would also like to
know what others think of the
plan.

The present opportunities for a

Consider the horse

Consider the horse.
FIRST thing in the morning the horse is hitched
up. Then the driver climbs in back of the reins.
All day long the horse goes where the driver bids.
He stops when the driver shouts, "Whoa," and
starts again when the driver yells,; "Geddup."
The horse attends no movies after working hours.
He just sticks around his stall and rests up for
the next days work.
Some people when they consider horses get
awfuily sentimental They waste lot of sym
patby on the horse. What the horse really should
have is not sympathy, but admiration.
Service is the chief aim of life, the only aim,
and the horse doesn't do blamed thing but
J. serve.

"rnE SLAVE"

A stirring drama of the prob
lens and perils facing a working
girl in the present day life, with
Valeska Suratt in the stellar role,
is the William Fox feature which
will be the main attraction at the
Majestic Theatre on Friday night.
The title role is peculiarly
adapted to Miss Suratt's powers
as an actress. Her supporting
cast, which includes Violet Pal
mer, who starred in 1.-THE Blue
Streak with William Nigh, Eric
Mayne, Dan Mason and Herbert
Heyes leaves nothing to be de-
sired. The drama was written and
directed by William Nigh, famous
for 1.-THE Blue Streak and many
other film gems.
Caroline, the role played by
Miss Suratt, is forelady in a
Fifth Avenue fashion shop. She
spurns the tempting life of luxury
led by the models in the shop.
Old Moneybags, twice Caro-
Zines age, proposes to her. Urged
on by her mother and visions OF
many years of hard work before
her accepts, despite a warning
dream. The dream wildly por-
itraying her life as an old mans
darling and a slave Of luxury fur
finishes a vivid story.
