"LEST WE FORGET"
Great Picture Coming May 1914
Rita JoIivet, a Survivor Of the
Lusitania, in Leading Role

Peter krauth, manager of the Opera
House, has secured the eight reel fea
ture film, Lest We Forget" which
will be shown Monday and Tuesday
venings of next week.
Lest We Forget" is the great screen
drama for which the world has been
waiting. Its historical significance
will make it of value as long as the
world stands. For it shows in visible
form, the great causes back of Ameri
cas- entrance into the war The viola
ton of Belgium and the leading of its
citizens into captivity, the wanton de-
struction of magnificent cathedrals
and the inhuman treatment of limo
cent women and children shown both
on land and in the sinking of the
mammoth ship, the Lusitania, are all
to be seen in Lest We Forget"
The star of Lest We Forget the
beautiful Rita JOlivet, was herself a
passenger on the Lusitania on its i'll
fated trip, and heard those immortal
words of her fellow-pasenger, Charles
Frohman, "Why fear death? Death is
the most beautiful adventure of life
Her life was spared to be a living wit
ness to the brutality of the huns.
The great eight-act production pro-
vides mighty panorama of events now
connected with the opening
days of the war and follows its pro-
gress through the later thrilling
months. A beautiful love story shines
like star through the darkness, the
roar of battle sometimes seeming like
a mighty accompaniment to the human
dram played. Many Americans un.
able to go abroad and engage in actual
fighting or works of mercy have wished
they might see with their own eyes a
part of what has been going on in Eur:
ope, since August, 1914. Lest We For:
get" shows far more of actual events
abroad during the great struggle OF
decericy against barbarism than any
one person, whether combatant or non
could possibly see. Besides
being a great love story, it is q val
liable chronicle Of the war.
B.. The scenes of the Lusitania are es-
peciaIly thrilling. The sailing, the
vast crowds of friends wishing bon
voyage to the passengers, FLASHES"
of the various activities and amuse-
ments on board ship, are followed by
the launching of the deadly torpedo
from the German submarine the fill
ing of the vessel with water and the
panic and excitement of the amazed
who are shown plunging
into the ocean, some swimming to the
small boats, others sinking to the
oceans depths.

Presbyterian Church.

Yesterday morning the pastor, Rev
John NonckX preached on the Pre-
ominence of the Church. He said in
part:
The pie-eminencc Of the church is
due to the magnitude OF its task, not
only its grandeur and its loftiness,
out its Importance. its greatness and
its consequences.
What more important WORK than
to open the eyes OF men to the larger
world in which they live and of which
so many are unconscious, the larger
world with its greater privileges and
possibilities? \ great many people
are like the man who lived IN the
basement of his house and forgot all
about the main rooms of the building
and it was not until a friend came and
rold him about the more spacious
rooms upstairs thar he entered into
the greater privileges a!.l possibilities
OF his house; so it is with many peo-
pie. they have forgotten, or never have
known about the spiritual realm that
peryades and envelopes this material
world Of ours and they 20 on living
with only these temporal things in
view and fail to obtain divine help for
the battles of life, fall 20 enter into
the privileges Of the spiritual realm
and obtain the CONSCIOUSNESS of har-
mony with the things that are eternal,
and at last to enter into the eternal
state of peace and happiness.
III is for the church to make the
unseen world real to men; to show
them that the unseen forces are the
strongest forces; the heat Of the sun
the forces pointed to in the move
ments of the tides, and the spiritual
forces that Napoleon bought against
himself when insprit and later in
words he said Man propotes and man
disposes:" for from that moment his
failure was dated.
Whatever work than that o.
interpreting God to man, of showing
item God in every unselfsh service
in the increasing hatred of evil. help
ing to realize that God is not far off
but right at hand and work thru
every service of righteousness ant
love.
The task is great beyond compar

the stature of the fullness of Christ.
