and silver-tongued, we must first, last and all the time love men. Eloquent tongues have failed. Brilliant prophe- cies have come to naught. Profound knowledge has limped away from soul humiliated and vanquished. Shrewd schemes, plausible methods, elaborate plans have all gone to the wall, while love never faileth.
 Every stubborn soul can be melted by love, and when the stern, solemn truths of Gods word are spoken they should be accompanied with love that is matchless, boundless and end less.
 No man can win souls through his splendid genius, his fine training, his large experience, unless he loves men with a quenchless passion.
 Hate is all the time looking for trouble. Gods love seeks to find the good in folks and develop it.
 Every church owes the community in which it is located the very warmest and highest spiritual worship. A real cold, formal heartless service is an abomination to anyone and especially to that one in search for soul satisfac- ton.
 The world is watching us who are making profession that they may bet ter their condition. but if they fail to find within us anything that will con- firm our profession we have failed, and in a measure have been responsible for the failure of another and we go down on record as a hypocrite.
 Experience and observation has taught us that anyone continuing to sail upon the shallow waters of re- 1 ligious experience will sooner or later strike a sand bar.
 Tho orAafer investment tbe greater the dividend. The greater the 1 giver the greater the receiver The | deeper the water the safer the sailing. The more perfect the consecration the greater the enjoyment.
 Profession without possession is something worse than nothing.
 Get up a picnic and every one is out get up a prayer meeting and every one is in.
 Great supper getters are usually not very great prayer meeting makers.

 In point of settings, story, costuming acting and general construction it is master picture aloft from the con- mon heard as Caesar was from the mass. It is distinctive because real money was spent in getting the in teriors, in framing the exteriors and in securing men and women for the types of the story.
 Petrova, herself, directed the picture and it is her work from the very start of the first reel. She has ample ad- vantage to show the talent that made her first a great actress of the stage and later a screen favorite.

PROSECUTION |S MALICIOUS,
 WOMAN AYERS
Case in Which Superior
 Courts s Decision Was Re
 versed Will Be Reopened on Wednesday Afternoon

The supreme court reversing the de cision of the lower court in the mali cious prosecution suit brought by Miss Rebecca Horne versus MT. and Mrs. H. $. GriswOld will reopen one of the most interesting suits ever heard in the local courts.
 The $20,o00 suit will be heard before Judge Pattee who will probably reach the matter by Wednesday, having sev- eral other cases to dispose of in the meantime. After a three day trial be- fore Judge Stanford in October, 1915, the plaintiff was awarded judgment in the sum of S4.125.
 Miss Horne based her suit on an ar rest made in September, 1914, when the GrisWolds charged her with grand lar ceny, alleging the theft of jewels of value which have never been recovered The preliminary hearing was held in Justice Johnstones court where the ac- tion was dismissed on October }.
 Immediately after she was dis charged Miss Horne brought suit for malicious prosecution and the trial that followed was particularly wearing on the defendants who are aged T and 13. The grilling examination demon strated they were unable to recall many important facts.
 The case was taken to the supreme court on appeal and reversed on the ground that the charge was unduly favorable to the plaintiff. The first case to define malice in the state of Arizona, Justice Franklin rendered a lengthy decision, on malice and how it might be inferred from the lack ot probable cause.

Boys Were Rough
 M Athletics

That the spirit of the "hard- rock" miner pervades the breast of the Miami high school athlete, is indicated by an account of the game played in the concentrator city Saturday night between the Coyotes and the Miami high school boys, furnished by Director of Ath- Ietics McEuen of the local aegre- gation.
 It appears that the Miami boys were rude and uncultured, not to say "hard boiled" as the saying goes. Following is Mir. McEuen's telegram:
 "Game with Miami called with only minute and half to play on account of rouehness by Miami players. Score then 23 to 16 in ia vor of Phoenix. The game was characterized by hard, rough play ing and the evenness of the battle. Neither side scored in the first 10 minutes. The three goals by Young, field pals by Smith and Clancy and excellent team work by Phoenix were the features. Miami completely covered by Phoenix guards. Lineup:
 Young, Chaney, forwards; Smith, center; Crosse, Thayer, guards; Miami: Quinn, Solomon, forwards; Triniman, center; Gross, Kieren, guards; Ristow and ToIIeson for Phoenix and Hylan for Miami sub- stitutes.
