be shown at the Lincoln theater to-
day. Speaking of the picture. the
Chicago Evening Post says:
If The Girl Who Did Not Care
were cut to five reels it would be
more interesting as a lurid sex play.
The story is not hackneyed and pre-.
sents possibilities that have been
made much of. In attempting TO
further the action many things have
been inserted that retard the prog
ress of the plot. However. the
thread Of the narration has been
clearly sustained throughout and
one has no difficulty in following il.
The direction has been carefully
managed. and most of the photo
graphy is good. Splendid opportun-
tiles for emotional acting have been
pity seized by Louise Vale and
frankie Mann. Miss Vale. especial
~ has a role that calls for the whole
gamut Of emotions, as a mother
who loses an only child in a mys-
terious manner, frankie Mann
gives a telling Interpretation of the
girl who did not care" though we
can conceive Of better vampires. As
whole, the production is up to the
standard Of former Ivan produc-
tons"

standing as we are in the midst Of
the warning OF the worlds nations,
we have thought that God Is not a

should huddle close 10 Him, asking
Him TO guide and direct US so that

we cannot sacrifice God in this
time OF need We cannot sacrifice
the truest joy. the highest peace
known to the human life, by re-
lection OF God. The happiest peO-
pie on earth are those who have
given God a large place in their
lives. We cannot sacrifice an eter-

Sometimes we are accused Of be-

fer 10 the eternal life. and yet if We
reason the matter out we must IN
derstand that God created us as
creatures. not for this world. but for
an eternal and everlasting exist

BURNETT breaches
PATRIOTIC SERMON
Inevitable We Should be
Drawn Into War-Should
Act Calmly.

In the course OF HIS sermon on
Patriotism" in the First Presby-
terrain church Sunday morning DR..
Burnett, pastor, said This is a
time for the manifestation of the
truest patriotism; the time for most
thoughtful consideration, when ev-
cry citizen should think and speak
and act calmly.
I'm our expressions Of patriotism
We are not sensible OF the great
fundamental facts which underlie
our life, and the fear is that we
are moved by the impulse of the
moment rather than by the sense of
our true position and the possibili-
ties of our relationships
1T seemed inevitable that we
should be drawn into this war in
view of it's more recent develop
ments, however studiously we avoid
ed it at the beginning. All the
providences OF our national exist
ence eliminated to this point. He is
blind who does not recognize the
divine hand shaping toward divine
ends.
country from the beginning we note
the working out Of a civilization
which stands as the fullest express
sion OF national life. We have been
an asylum for the oppressed. we
have assimilated the diverse ele-
ments of the world life, we have
been a teacher of the nations. we
have ever been ready 10 defend the
weak against oppression. The pres
ent crisis in our life is Gods call
TO a great service for humanity.
cit seems to be the logical thing
that in some way we should be in
volved when the nations are strug-
Cling to free themselves from the
CALLING yoke of autocracy because
ours are the highest ideals of de-
mOcracy.
Not Fighting a People.
Imperialism Is the attack upon
the recognized principles of inter-
national justice, and hence an attack
upon civilization. The president has
made il very clear that in assuming
our present attitude we are not
fighting a people but a system. a sys-
TEN which disregards alike individ-
ual and national rights.
The nations art turning their
eyes toward us and our glory is in
the fact that we are true TO our
traditions and bear ourselves with
that dignity and determination
which the demands of democracy
impose.
However much we may have
been blinded TO the deeper things
of life by our material prosperity,
the time is here when we are TO re-
veal the power and glory Of an
eminently Christian civilization. Pa
triotism is not merely coming to
our country's aid in times of crisis,
il is the life of earnest devotion
which expresses the deepest spirit
of our American life born and pre-
served through the purpose of the
Prince OF Peace.
by the call of our wonderful his
tory, under God: by the call Of the
peoples who wait FOR deliverance
from oppression; by the call OF the
dead who lie upon the bloody fields
of Europe; by the call of the mob
lest ideals of our Christian civiliza-
ton; by the call of every influence
from the Christ I plead for such
life
