THE LAST ENEMY"
 SERMON-DR. HENRY

"The Last Enemy To Be Destroyed Is
 Death" was the subject of the sermon
 preached by Dr. W. G. Henry, pastor of
 the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church.
 at the services yesterday morning. Dr. Henry said in part: There are two distinctively important periods in the life of every person. that of life and death We fail to understand the great law of death which must come to everything
 Even the terestial and celestial bodies
 must change for there Is nothing ma terial that escapes. And while death Is looked upon as enemy, yet since Christ conquered death by overcoming the power of the grave, to the Chris. tan death may not be looked upon as
 an enenfy but as a -iberator. releasing the soul from the bonds that hold it ana permitting if to ,asc ort into that broa1.
 CT sphere that the Creator has prepared for il"
 Dr. Henry spoke of the many theories and beliefs as to the cause of death, par
 ticularly of the belief that Sin. causes death to pass upon the world. T be. lieve that there would have been death or changes that amount to the same even If there had been no sin," said tn '. speaker: Tor through death God makes
 all things new and keeps the world young For when a man becomes old and Is released by death he enters into that new life, new creature with a spiritual body or body that is pleasing to God as the beautiful things of nature
 have new bodies and new life because of the death of their first bodies. God does not use death as a punish ment but as liberator and that sense friend Some have. the idea, that death comes to loved ones because they lova them too much or because punishment is to be melted out to them for sin, but net so God wants us to love much. and to sin not but the great law of death
 passes upon us all and if prepared. ushers us into those joyful experiences of the pure and redeemed who have gone on before.
 "The son of God stood as lamb slain
 from the foundation of the world and
 He, the maker of the universe laid down ln death, conquered death and then took
 up his new life thus passing life and lib- erty of soul down the ages to all men
 liberated from death by him who was able to conquer death.
 Death is necessary to a larger life and added spiritual power and freedom. The bird cannot mount into the joy and lib- erty of freedom until it has broke away from the shell that held it bound So with the soul. There must be libera-
 the house which holds 1t down and enter into that unbounded freedom of he uni- verse of God

Boston. March 27.-'Stuffy" McInnls, first baseman of the Red Sox- has been served with notice of an action i1 contract by H. H. Frasee, president ot the American league club, to compel McInnis to show cause why he should not report for play with the club. The action is returnable May in the Suf- folk county superior court.

 T signed contract in 1918, as did Scott and Schang, for three years" the first baseman said. My salary $ So,000. The other two players have re- -ceived considerations aside from those called for by their contracts. and be- grudSe them nothing. Frasee paid me bonus last November after he had allowed his promise to do so to drag along without fulfilment for several months As things stand now. he has made me no offer or proposal of a similar nature this year, although press dispatches quote him as saying he has offered me very liberal terms

CHRIST IS RISEN" DR. J. M. BROADY

With an overflow crowd attending Easter services yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. Dr. J. N. Broadly, pastor, delivered sermon on Christ Is Risen" There were "A addi- tions to the church, with the largest Easter offering on record. The attend- ance was fine prelude to the joint serv- ices to be held with Mel Trotter as the center next week.
 If Christ had not been raised from the dead, then all preachers would have had no message of inspiration to spread the Word" declared Dr. Broadly in his ser mon. 'The resurrection has proved an inspiration throughout the centuries.
 Without the resurrection, all faith would have been in vain, for there would have been nothing to hope for after death. The world would have been a gloomy place indeed unless Christ had arisen from the dead.
 Through the resurrection, the door Of hope was opened wide to everyone. For giveness of sins would not have been an influence for optimism.
 Christmas the announcement of God s love, while Eeaster was the fulfilling of the promise"

Slaying a Leonard

Carl E. Akeley in the Worlds Work.
 I wheeled--to face a leopard in midair
 The rifle was knocked flying and in it's place was 30 pounds of frantic cat Her intention was to sink her teeth into my throat and with this grip and her fore paws hang to me while with her hind claws she dug out my stomach. for this pleasant practice is the way with leop- ards. However happily for me. she missed her aim. Instead of getting my throat, she was to one side. She struck me high in the chest and caught my up- per right arm with her mouth. This not only saved my throat but left her hind legs hanging clear where they could not reach my stomach. With my left hand I caught her throat and tried to wrench my right arm free, but l couldn't do it except little by little. When got grip enough on her throat to loosen her hold just little she would catch my arm again an inch or two lower down. In this way drew the full length of the arm through her mouth inch by inch. I was conscious of no pain, only of the sound of the crushing of tense muscles and the choking. snari- ing grunts of the beast As pushed her farther and farther down my arm l bent over, and finally when it was ai- most freed I fell to the ground. the leopard underneath me. my right hand in her mouth. my left hand clutching her throat, my knees on her lungs. my el- bows in her armpits spreading her front legs apart so that the frantic clawing did nothing more than tear my shirt. Her body was twisted in an effort to get hold of the ground to turn herself
 but the loose sand offered no hold For moment there was no change in our positions. and then for the first time l began to think and hope l had a chance to win this curious fight called, but to no effect. still held her and con tiued to shove the hand down her throat so hard she could not close her mouth. and with the other I gripped her throat in a strangie hold. Then sutged down on her with my knees. I'd my surprise felt a rib let go. I did 1t agaiu. l felt her relax, a sort of letting so. all though she was still struggling. At the same time I felt myself weakening sini- to which would give Up first Little by little her struggling ceased My strength had lasted the s~ns~st

Missing Link Still Missing nm "The New Stone re in North err


 Europe" by John M. Tyler
 Where mans distant cousins, the an- thropoid apes, and his still nearer re- lations, Phihecanthropus. were all living and some at least, apparently progress ing, could harly have been far from his original home. But the climatic con ditions of that time lead us to seek his original cradle somewhat farther north ward than India, or even. Beluchistan, and near to- if not in, the great steeue zone of central Asia. We lose sight of our apeman as he is advancing toward the threshold of. mankind. not far away. Whether we thing that Pithecanthropus was approaching or had already passed it depends much upon where we draw the line between ape and man, a line largely artificial and as difficult to fix as the day and hour when the youth becomes of age, and what human cha racteristics we select to mark it. In his erect posture and some other phy- sical traits he seems already to have attained manhood; mentally he was pro bably far inferior to even the lowest savage races of today. We are not sure whether he was our ancestors or merely cousin of our ancestor. once or twice removed; we still lack foundations for any hypotheses as to exactly when, where. or how the erect ancestral ape man emerged into real manhood.

MEN. WOMEN. MARRIAGE"
 GORGEOS SPECTACTE

Man. Woman Marriage, the photo play spectacle. comes to the Trianon next week, beginning April 4 This pro- duction of woman and her love from the cave period to today is declared to be one of the greatest pictures of the screen and is presented on a vast and lavish scale. There are more than 5000 people than a half million dollars.
 The medieval scenes were taken at a great castle built in Griffith Park, a vast estate. In the construction of this castle the best architects of Los Angeles were employed to draw the plans and speei- fications after deep study of the architec- ture of the age of chivalry
 Costumes were designed, orS seclected from the best costumers of the nation. Even details which the camera would fail to register were not overlooked. Every book on costuming that could be secured was read and age-old paintings were studied in order to secure the proper dress for Miss Phillips and her supporting cast.
 The same painstakfng detail was taken in the construction of the Roman court scenes and the costuming of 9he play CTS. The men and women court dancers were trained and directed by one of the foremost students. of aesthetic dancing, Marion Morgan.
 The court set is probably the most elab- crate ever used in. pictures. Great col umns of imitation marble supported a huge dome. The walls were made of marble and the throne was covered with gold leaf At the feet of the emperor crouched huge captive leopard By the throne stood husky Nubian slaves and stationed about the gigantic hall were centurians. slaves and soldiers. Gorgeous peacocks and snow white doves were perched about the thron4 and in the niches of the walls. and every effort was towards making the scene as gor- geously beautiful as possible.

 Miss Evelyn Walsh. who is of the fin ner circle" is one of the participants and it was no easy task for MT. Griffith to select a player for the part that is taken by Mrs. Belmont, for there were 200 ap- plicants from exclusive sets for the honor of the post Mrs Belront's adap- ability for the role finally won it for hei. Her father, MT. Paul Andrews, at first opposed to his daughters participation in the performance finally became an enthusiast and he eagerly sought oppor- unity to pose for the Griffith produc- tions.
 The great cost of Way Down East was due not only to the lavishness of costume display in the more pretentious portions of the piece. but also to the initial cost for the rights of presentation and to the insistence by Mir Griffith upon versimilitude. For weeks before he began operations, he had seven men with cameras "scouting" for the proper set tines. They snapped 40o interiors alons tefore the producer was content to make selection.
 Six weeks were spent by him in select
