Topic: Christian Duty and Privi-

William J. Rowan. of Newark, Della

Father, AMI children ought 20 love their

cept our affection. So II Is our duty

urcs. because we are OF one blood. and
many Of them are superior to us IN
character. But love must have It's ex-
preston. The mere declaration ls not
sufficient II we love God, we will
serve Him, and as He demands, The
church will be FIRST in our thoughts,
and business and pleasures secondary.
We Will attend the church, not TO hear

our social conditions, but 10 worship
God. We wifi be as careful in attend
ing the prayer meeting. sllowing no
counter attractions TO keep us from the
place Of prayer The love that God
requires Of us is deeper than the love
we bestOw upon our loved ones. Hence
Nthe best Of men reproach themselves
Cor their failure to love God supremely
II we love God with every 1ber Of
our being, we are sure TO love our fel-
lows. and as love 10 God prompts to
service In the church, so love 10 our
fellows prompts us to serve them. we
call this sOcial service. II Is very i'm
pOrtant, indeed second only 20 the wor-
ship OF God. Nevertheless 10 Is easier
20 do social work than religious work.
The same people, who cannot be in

.FRrENDLy ENEMIES"

Beginning next Monday and continu-
ing Tuesday evening and New Years
matinee and evening, "Frlendly Enc
niles" win be seen at The Playhouse
Although there is much fun in the play,
pathetic moments are not entirely rare
The scene in which Karl Prefer learns
that his only son is an American OIL
Ger and is about 10 sail for France to
light against Germany Is especially
gripping. The old man tries by every
means to persuade the boy to give up
his intention Of lighting for America.
From caiolery and paternal bribery. he
turns swiftly to anger and the exercise
of paternal authority. but all without
avail Throughout the three acts from
the time the curtain rises, the play is a
splendidly effective plea for American
ism increasing in intensity and
strength UNTIL at the last curtain, 1t
leaves the audience with a higher and
holier and more determined sense Of pa
tri0tism
The cast being sent by Manager
Woods is a noteworthy one In every de-
tail and coming as II does at this time.

ROADS T0PR0SPERITY
PLANNED In ILLINOIS

BY the United Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. 24-Illinois
is going to kill two birds with one
stone" by taking care of its surplus
labor resulting from the wars end and
at the same time building a s60,OO0,OOO
system of hard roads.
State leaders foresaw that the end of
the war would create a labor surplus,
At the same time there was an agita-
ton on foot for a Statewide system Of
hard roads.
The two propositions were combined
in hard road bill and passed by the
last General Assembly The legislative
act Immediately was received with
favor because it not only was planned
to solve Illinois after-the-war labor
problem but at the same time satisfy
the demand Of thousands of autoists,
farmers and manufacturers.
The proposition was planned before
the voters at the November elections
and was adopted with but little oppo-
sition.
II Is planned to construct approxi-
mately 1900 miles OF hard roads touch
ing every county in the State. The di-
vision OF highways now is laying plans
for the opening Of work probably next
spring or as soon thereafter as labor
and material conditions warrant

ly as effective as sable.
tunlc OF brown net embroidered
with Jet over slip OF brown satin
makes an effective costume.
With a green and black plaid skirt is
worn green velvet overblouse Of most
simple design
The long waist line fltted with a
crushed girdle Is. a feature which
achieves a slender silhouette.
A frock OF turquoise blue chiffon vel
vet has edges OF silver ribbon and a
glrdle OF dahlia-colored velvet.
Unusual is the collar which drapes
softly across the front, ties In knot at
the back and hangs In long loose ends.

THE GAME!
By LAWRENCE EvART.

From the beginning TO the end, we find
it,
LIES battle is hard tight;
Some bask in the sunshine OF golden
days,
While others. they revel the night.
One-half knows not how the other half
live
II they win, lose, rise or they fall,
The game of life is game, just game,
And we are the players-thats all.
New born-in the cradle, soul sleep
ing,
Takes spirit with the coming of morn
To work out its own strange destiny,
In the game of lifes struggle and
pawn.
1t may climb TO heights and pinnacles,
or success, Of wealth and of fame;
IL may sink TO the depths Of disaster
And end in the maelstrom OF shame.
This soul may win loves bright token
or which we so often have read
Or outrage the laws universal
bangle from the scaffold-dead.
1t may possess a wonderful mentality
Yet be fleshed with lascivi0us lust
Be envied for marvellous knowledge
Yet rotten in body, 10 the crust.
This soul may succeed beyond dream
ing,
Be honored in history's page:
II may struggle and keep on struggling
Die paupered at shrunken old age.
This spirit be 1t either the genders
It's future, its success, or its fall
That secret is not given to the mortal
For it's a game-just game-after
all.
And for God-who rules universal
Doth deal with Infinite care
Through his wondrous skilled execu-
No marked cards are shown to US
there.
As we play the game-well blindly
If we lose-then who is to blame ?
The cards-the player-or the dealer
Ah-its all part Of the game.
Then-let .us-who have souls decent,
Sink not TO the piker's plane,
If we lose-then try over and over,
Till we win-again-and again.
The courage Of success-will help us ;
And when each doth hear the-last
call
Let us rise to the heights Of the mighty
From a game-thats game-after
all.

TWO CITIES WISH TO
HARBOR "VINDICTIVE"
By the United Press.

BY the United Press.
LONDON. Dec. 3. (By Mail. .)-London
and Dover are vying with each other
for the ultimate possession Of II. NJ. S.
Vindictive.
1t is proposed 10 begin the work OF
raising this heroic old vessel, sunk at
the eastern pier In Ostend harbor. To
get her to the surface will be one OF
the hardest tasks salvage men have
had.
The hundreds OF tons of cement
which were placed in her in the hope
that the Germans would not be able
to remove her make the problem OF sal
gave a great difficulty. However, ex-
perts say there is little doubt that all
obstacles will be overcome. but some
months may elapse before the old war
ship, beloved OF all Britons, is got TO
the surface.
IL was originally intended that her
ultimate destruction should be the
Thames. but now Dover has put in a
claim for possession on the grounds
that she was manned by men OF Dover
and she put out from Dover on her last
famous voyage.

rotating plays. offers for the last three
days OF this week Constance Talmadge
in the sweetest comedy that has been
released this year, Good Night Paul"
Amusing situation follows amusing sit

lessly entangled, only to find that there
is always some way out OF the DIM

A marriage, but not a marriage; a
promised Inheritance; then an honest
t0-goodness marriage that upsets the
whole thing, but still does not upset
anything, are the corners around which
the comedy turns and twists-with a
elggle every minute; a laugh every
seven minutes and a roar Of laughter
anytlme that You wish.

STREET SONGS ARE
POPULAR AMONG MEN
BY. CAPT. ii. 6. JOHNSON.
With American Red Cross In Eu

PARIS, Dec 26.-The SOLDERING effects
OF warfare on American boys is best
shown by the songs they sing.
AT embarkatlon camps on the seacoast
In France, far away from the front, our
boys sang the popular songs. The
camps resounded with "Tipperary.'
"Over There" Hail, Hail the Gangs All
Here" and pack Up Your Troubles
But when the troops moved up to the
camps in the fighting zone, though still
back OF the front line, they seemed to
grow m0re thoughtful. Then the songs
most popular were "Old Black joe
"Tcntffg Tonight on the Old Camp
Ground" "Just Before the Battle,
Mother and such songs Of sentiment.
At the very front. in the religious ser
vices held while battles ragged, our sol
dlers almost invariably called for Near

A singer Just returned to Paris tells
me that in his experience he found the
most popular song at the very front
was abide With Me-"

modern adaptation Of the old morality

This beautiful play with Its wonder

Christmas Offering at the Playhouse

The sumptuous settings OF the ban

presentation OF New Years Eve on
Broadway are famous successes OF
stagecraft. "Eyerywoman" will be Civ

quietly seated by her own flresde.
"Everywoman" Is attended by Youth,
Beauty and Modesty Beauty dies quick

Youth aud Modesty leave Eyerywoman.

cause OF the physical strain the char

as Youth and Elizabeth Kellogg, as Mod
