weeks Of hot weather and brought
ont the facts that when bemoaning

a person finds himself under greater
stress than if he entered into his
work without a thought of sur
rounding conditions. The sermon
follows:
"The road TO salvation leads by a
different way from that which we
would expect. It is not to be found
by seeking for it. but by loving
friendly service cf others. For
whatsoever would save his life shall
lose it: but whatsoever shall lose his
life for My sake, the same shall
save it, This is the way to salvation
pointed out by Jesus. And by saliva

given 20 us-a great free. joyous

TO save the outer plumage of life
but 10 is at the expense Of our char
acters. Of our very life. whatsoever

''The Rot weather Of the past few
weeks has also shown US how our

gagged in doing something than when
we were bouncing the heat and try

tary Davis of President Harding's
cabinet calls upon everyone to toll for
the restoration of the spirit of conf

people should work for the general
good, and Mr.. Davis says that these
"stern times have taught us a new
conception of work, which means
something more to US than working
for ourselves, for no man prospers un-
less his nation prospers with him."
The appeal to work is all right and
the sentiments expressed by Mr.. Davis
are sound. The average person is

Cecil B. DeMille's latest Paramount
picture, forbidden Fruit" which will
be shown at the Opera House next Fri
day and Saturday is said to be one of
the most sumptuous productions with
which the name of that master pro-
ducer has ever been identified. The
cast is unusually excellent. The theme
of the picture is a definition of "for
worse" in the modern marriage cere-
mony. What are a wife's duties to
husband who steadily drags her down
to his own lower mental and moral
level What course shall a woman
follow when she is offered true love
and the opportunity to climb to new
and u1guessed heights. These are
the questions Mr.. De Mile asks and
answers in forbidden Fruit" And
through the story runs the golden
thread of a charming romance. "FOr
hidden Fruit" seems destined to occu-
py a high place as a dramatic romance
Agnes Ayres has the leading woman's
role.

The newly repaired strets are still
to have their top dressing of fine stone
and then with the repairs to the
bumps on Commerce street, Smyrna
should have good streets again. 1t
costs money to build and maintain
streets and Town Council should see
that hereafter all plumbers after
opening the streets for repairs to wa
ter, sewer or gas mains, should put
them back in as good a state of repair
as they found them. In some towns
ahd cities plumbers are required to
put up a deposit before they get a
permit that they will restore the street
they open to its original good condi-
tion and this is not bad idea. Coun-
Gil has the power to demand rigid
rules in this regard and we hope af-
ter the streets are all repaired there
will be no complaint about them
again.
