DEFINES POSITION OF
THE UNITARIAN CHURCH
Rev. i'rnnls Pratt, Pastor of First Uni
tartan Congregation, Preacher
on Message to Richmond

The Message or the Unitarian
Church to Richmond' was the subject
of an address yesterday morning by
Rev. Frank Pratt. pastor of the First
Unitarian Church. The text on which
the address was based was taken from
the thirteenth chapter OF Matthew
Behold sower went forth to SOW"
the peculiar situation of the Uni
| tartan church as the only church of
the faith In this city, and the fact that
1t was not for trivial differences that
the church was apparently isolated
from the other Christian churches of
the city. was briefly explained by Mr.
Pratt In that the Unitarian church was
not In sympathy with Secta-ianism nor
any special form Of theological belief
The world is growing tired OF sec
tarianism." said MIR. Pratt, land in the
present crisis we appreciating as
never before how nonessential II Is
10 religion and to life 20 cultivate those
intellectual conceptions which form the
basis of all sectaricn beliefs. The Uni
tartan church emphasizes the realities.
we would bring Inen and women back
from unimpLrtant things to consid-
Grafton OF those vital principles OF life
and faith"
SO. the first message which the Uni
tartan church brings TO Richmond. de-
clarcd the speaker, rs that of freedom
IN behef-to be FREQ souls in u free
, church spreading the spirit OF glad
ness abroad. There should be no ten
| dency to chain the mind. but one should
be left free to think out for himself
theological questions which vex him.
fhe church must be broad minded
enough, MI. Pratt thinks. to hold men
of various intellectual requirements
| The time has como. said the minister.
when the church can lot ..low any man
to feel outside the church b cause his
mind reaches GU; and lends "A sympa-
thetic ear to new trut.iS. Reformcr,
and those abreast OF progress must
be welcomed as leE::ilG a ueH impetus
to the onward progress OF truth. There
must be broad spi-'.- of intellectual
! Hospitality in the Church of to-day and
tolerance and justice.
The second message which the Uni
tartan Church would send to Richmond
Is that OF the universal revelation of
Coda world fun of God in and
through nature throbbing down
through the centuries. and this church
would have Richmond rise TO new
conception OF the fatherhood Of God
and the divinity OF humanity

 Peeler Works Wonders

To keep the face, neck, arms and hands truly beautiful and youthful in appearance, the treatment which seems most sensible is one which will actually remove the skin itself im- mediatcly it begins to age, fade, coars- en or discolor. The only known treat r1ent which will do this, aside from a painful, expensive surgical operation is the application of ordinary merco- lizod wax, which is as harmless as it is effective.
 The wax is put on at night just as you apply cold cream, and washed off in the morning. 1t absorbs the dead and half-dead surface skin in almost invisible flaky particles, little each day, no discomfort being experienced. With tho disappearance of the old cuticle, the newer, healthier skin un- derneath gradually appears, richly beautiful with the flush of youh. This mercolized wax, which you can get at any drug store in original package, is indeed a veritable wonder worker. Adv.

KEEPS HER MOUTH SHUT.
Circus Performer Is Compelled to
 Do So to Avoid Drop.

With becoming modesty pretty Min nie Fisher, circus performer. bears an unusual honor. She is known as the only woman in the world who can keep hcr mouth shut.
 Sounds strange, but, nevertheless, it's the gospel truth" says the man ager of the John Robinson circus which will exhibit in Pine Bluff, Mon day, Sept. "A. That woman deserves a medal direct from congress. She is what l call wonder"
 Miss Fisher is an "iron jaw artist" Sinking her firm white teeth into a leathern thong, she allows herself to be drawn to the very apex of the big tent where she performs difficult and graceful tricks. And she works with. out any net stretched beneath her to break possible fall.
 "That woman cannot talk when she gets up in the air. If she ever opens her mouth while the show is on, there would be different story to tell" is the explanation of George Corners, the circus equestrian director.
 "I have often wondered what Miss Fisher would do if some woman she did not like would come into the tent and say nasty things to her. Would you, women of Pine Bluff, have sui ficient will power to keep your mouths shut in case of this kind?"
