sary surprise by calling at the parson-
age at 8o'clock. They came light-heart-
ed and gay but heavy laden with many
good things to eat and use and full of
good will and wishes. 1t afforded hap
py climax to the delightful celebration
on Sunday, and of course sincerely ap-
preciated. Such goodwill and friendli-
ness is sweet and serves as stimulus for
more mutual active service in H is King
dom.
After a period of social intercourse and
delight all repaired to their homes, they
happy because they gave blessing ma
terial and spiritual, and nr. and Mrs.
Heimer happy because they received a
blessing also material and spiritual
and no doubt theirs the greater for scrip
ture reminds US that lit is more blessed

September 3Oth, Third week of D. W.
Gritfith's
HEARTS OF THE WORLD.
Thrilling and appealing drama of love
and strife on the Battle fields of France.
Mo picture has aroused so much enthu-
siasm among the audience as over this
romatic depletion of the German invasion
of France.
Hearts of the World" which has been
meeting with tremendous and enthusas-
tic reception at Fords enters into its
concluding week September 3Oth. 1t en- =
thralls the onlookers not only in its vital
story of romance as its conspicuous fea-
ture but with war conditions at the front
eyemplihed in its reality of action, repro
duced on the actual battle field,
Griffith went with his company to France
and the result of his has been electrify-
ing. Among the leading members of his
company who participated in Its making
are Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish, Robert
Heron, George Fawcett, and little Ben
Alexander who braved the exploding
shrapnel.
Charges of troops over the top were
photographed, the participation of tanks
in onslaught revealed etc.
The battle scenes so wonderfully de-
picted were made possible by the consent
and aid of the British War Office, the
causes that led up to the war, and the
meeting of the English Parliament on
the night when the vote was cast for
war the session of the French Senate,
voting on the Declaration of war, the
session of the Cabinet awaiting the fatal
hour when the ultimatum to Germany
would expire come as a prelude.
The drama begins when the German
hordes enter France the ruthless de-
struction of property, inhuman treat
ment of the captives, ETC., eliminating
with the arrival of the American troops
with hint of future happiness for those
who endured the struggle.
