TALKS IN PUBLIC
CONDEMNS THEATER
A Few Theaters Would Have
Saved Pilgrim Fathers From
I the. Follies Into Which They
Fell. !.
HONEST CRITICISM CAN'T
HARM HONEST RELIGION

One day recently a stingy man
stood on the steps at the Medina trac-
ton station and soliloquized on the
sin Of the picture theater in particu-
lar, and the theater in general, and
gave vent to prophecy Of great evil
to the world and community unless
this "child Of the devil" was driven
from society.
The poor ignoramus, q man who
has--probably-never read a book
other than some trifing story, reads
few newspapers and never maga-
zine, with barely enough knowledge
Of the world to say that he has been
outside his county, attempting to
judge the world and the people who
live little different from himself by
and with the aid Of his ignorance.
He, like many others, has not the
education in world matters to teach
him that the picture show and the
theater has done more for the world
within the last rs years than the
church has for that same Is years
since the Christian era began. He
don't know enough to know that the
theater has always been the "salt
which has kept the SAVIOR" in the
church and its uplift work; he don't
know that the theater has been the
very inspiration that has led mankind
to root out the very evils that long

WHAT'S SPIRITUALISM
IN ITS LAST ANALYSIS?

People who used to pooh-pooh
spiritualism--i. e., intelligent people
are beginning to study this phe-
nomena, and have at this time been
forced to recognize that there is
something in it. Not in the fake
table-tipping, chair-turning, slate
writing, wall-rapping kind, but in the
fact that there are spiritual phenom-
ena that do seem to have something
in them that so far man has not
been able to entirely fathom and re-
duce to teachable science. What it
really is, to what extent it proceeds,
what 1t is intended to teach, is yet
to be worked out. But it is now gen.
orally agreed that the veil between
the spiritual and the earthly is very
thin, and that it may yet be possible
TO fathom it.
Perhaps never in the history of the
world has this fact been given as
much discussion as now, and at no
time have SO many men Of large mind
been giving it study. With this in
mind Rev. Caulk has decided to
preach one or more sermons on kim
dred topics as soon as he has the
subject matter formulated to suit
him. Announcement of the time will
be made later. Three topics that he
purposes to discuss are:
Spiritualism communion of the
saints; teaching Of the church and
the Bible on this score.
Second Day Adventism, with the
Bible light thrown athwart this
theme.
The teaching Of the church on the
intermediate State.

WHEELING WIDE OPEN;
NO SNOW, ICY STREETS

0. B. Cornwall. who has bean as
sisting his father In line construction
work for the Wheeling phone COM
pany, came home Saturday suffering
with an attack Of the grippe. he
says that there was no snow in and
about Wheeling but that on Friday
night there was a rain covering
everything with water and that about
2 o'clock Saturday morning it turned
cold and froze, turning the walks and
streets into sheet Of ice.
He tells story Of a near-accident
on the traction line there. As the con-
struction car was making the run to
the barns Thursday, going at IS
mile clip, the motorman sighted a
team crossing the track and the driver
half asleep. The whistle was sound
ed, waking the driver who did not
have time to back Off or pull across
the track. The team, scenting dan
ger, reared up just In time to let the
car run under the forward part Of the
animals. The uplifted feet of the
horses scraped across the legs of
three men riding on top of the car,
tearing their clothes and nearly
brushing them off the car.
Speaking Of prohibition Mr.. Corn
wall says that Wheeling is wide open
to everything usually prohibited, and
has been for some time. What the
future may bring forth no one car
tell, but at this time what man can
put across is only limited by the
amount he wants to spend for his
sport.

before this would have destroyed the
church itself.
The theater was the monumental
evil In the eyes Of the Pilgrim Faith
ers and Of other goody-goody church
people in certain Of the other
colonies. The church was the only
rock to which the world could go and
be saved; the only salt whose SAVIOR
could save. But with a few short
centuries Of that teaching we find
these christians" driving Roger
Williams and Anna Hutchinson out
into the wilds Of the woods in mid
winter with fervent prayer that
they might perish before they could
be rescued. And a little later the
people of Massachusetts were burning
innocent men and women and ire
sponsible children at the stake in the
name of the God whom they professed
to worship. And the world today sees
the enornity of these crimes, and
that they were crimes.
And when in one of the latest orgies,
in those days called trials, men who
saw the enormity Of these crimes
came to the rescue of a IL year old
girl doomed to die for witchcraft,
their papers in speaking Of the Incl
dent told how the "ungodly rabble"
had saved the child in question. The
ungodly saved them from this par
ticular crime and a few "ungodly
theaters" would have saved them
from the whole series.
The people of the world have al
ways been divided into five general
classes: Strenuous christians, chris
tians, lukewarm christians, non-pro-
fessors, and anti-christians. The
strenuous christians would herd the
masses and drive everyone into the
christian fold and compel him to stay
there. The anti-christian would tear
up christianity by the root. The first
is just as evil an influence as the
last, and is as destructive Of true
christianity. The lukewarm christians
were the ones Paul would spew out
of his mouth. There are, then, but
two classes that give much promise
the "just christians" and the non.
