silent, but Dave stood no longer mo-

"He ought to be here very soon.

"It's enough. I'm ready to give you
your orders now. They are-just to

the world promises, we are failing to
hear the still small voice of~God say
ing to us in no more easy tones than be-
fore to the fathers of old, "The love Of
money is the root Of all evil" The
world cry today is, "Gain the whole
world and let your soul CO." Will we
have entirely forgotten that Jesus who
spake as never man spake said, What
shall a man be proftted if he shall gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?" The world little thinks Of the
catechism question and its answer,
''What else did God give man besides
body? Answer. God gave man a
soul that can never die" .,

Among all the orders that have been
borne into existence for mans good,
pleasure or profit, there is none that
can take the place of the church and
none that profess to do for man what
the church does. They are good In
their place, but when they come be-
tween man and his God then is time to
cut loose and say, THUS far and no
farther"
The folly OF those who tried to tell
people that the boys who died for their
country on the battle-fronts of France
were saved just because they died for
their country, when we know that
there is only one way OF Life and that
by the bloodstained cross of Christ.
It is time for us as a church to put
off our timidity and as Christ did, plat
cord and drive from the sanctuary

minds of people with such poisonous
stuff as we see and hear these days.

nounced this week, by Will II. Hays,
! head of the Motion Picture Producers
association. This action, he said, af-
fected nearly 10000 contracts. .,
nAfter consultation with Mr.. Mich
olas Schenck, representing Mr.. Joseph
Schenck, the producers, and Mr..
Adolph Zultor and Mr.. Lasky, Of the
Famous Players Lasky corporation,
the distributors" Mr.. Hays statement
said, "I will state that at my request
they have Cancelled all showings and
all bookings of the Arbuckle films.
They do this that the whole matter
may have the consideration that its
Importance warrants and the action is
taken Notwithstanding the fact that
they had nearly 10000 contracts in
force for the Arbuckle pictures"
When Mr.. Zukor was asked If the
action of the producers association
had removed Arbuckle definitely from
the list of screen stars, he replied:
1--WE simply left the matter in the
hands Of Mr.. Hays. 1t is up to him
to decide in the future whether it will
be proper to reintroduce the Arhuckle
Fpietures."
Mr.. Zukor said recently. that three
Arbuckle feature comedies had been
completed before the arrest of the
comedian on charges growing out. of
the death Of Miss Virginia Rappe.
The producer announced shortly af-
ter Arbuckle's acquittal that one of
the films would be released as a test"

why 1t has never been generally adopt

The people are, at an unprecedented
age in the maintenance of life for the
increased wage does not satisfy the de-
sire for money. The world did for
some time want a shorter week and a
shorter day to work. They got it and
still the spirit of unrest prevails. The
Democratic party failed to produce a
leader that the people were willing to
follow. The Republicans are making
an effort, but the same distrust is found
in him. The crusade Of the world is
being made under the leadership of
men who have made errors and vii!
make them, yet people are willing to
take the chances of being great, as
men call greatness under the banner of
such men while the crusade of the
church is being made under the leader

mistake and can never make one for he

but what ne represented himself to be,
the champion of righteousness and our
Saviour.
