My parents did not care for religious things, and so did not give me a right start. You will not be held respo .si- Die on the judgment day for your start but you will be held responsible for your finish, and while you may have been born even with devil inside of you. It is quite possible to be born again, and this time with the devil out. Some other fellow would say, well it is my environment. cannot be a Chris tlan and work with. the crowd I have to work with and do business with. I know that environment is great word It is very dainty morsel3 that we roll on our tongues ends b;t environment is not everything. For instance. you put pig in your parlor and I know which will change first-it won't be the pig! You can't cure a patient of smallpox by putting him between clean sheets, and you can be a bigger man than your environment.
 Another man says. well, your church Is too narrow. Why don't you widen the doors to your church? Why don't ou let down the bars? Why don't you readjust your program? Why don't you preach a more up-to-date gospel? I object, for if we widen the doors and lower the bars to suit you we should make out of our church nothing more than social club. Who Is going to readiust your program? Who is oin~ to give us this up-to- date gospel? We will let you do it if you will die and rise again in three days. What you need is your mothers sight and vour mothers hores+v ard if vou had her sight and her honesty a"d her faith your motrer's ""s~el would be plenty good enough for. you.

pleasing appearance. prosperity a
staple comedy sketch, was very well
presented by company new to this
circuit.
Jean Sothern brought along several
of her photo-play registers which she
tried on the Lyric crowd with intense
success. She started with sonb
about her n-di-vid al -i-ty," went
ahead with a realistic representation
of very. very naughty little girl who
needed the rosewood finish" which
her mother had promised, did a Boy
Scout song and had to come back
for an encore. Libby and Nelson,
comedy acrobats, gave some new
cycle stunts with great success. The

screen comedy attracted favorable at
tention. The photoplay will be shown
