Explains Theater Evangelism

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
For several Sundays during the
month of January. Shiloh Church
c'Strangers' Honey and her pastor.
Rev. DR.. Waldron, have been hold
ing evangelistic meetings in the
theaters of the city and during this
time they have been frequently
asked. why did you do this ?'
Doubtless many Of your subscribers
have asked the same question. Ano
for the benefit of all concerned and
also in the hope of leading, others
to see the wisdom Of this innovation
in soul-saving we wish to answer
the question:: thus. :
First-Because very many Of the
people who frequent the play houses
of the city are not Christians; they
do not attend church. and they feel
that the churches are their enemies
Saviour condemn the sins engaged
In by these non-church-goers.
Second-If men and women will
not go to the churches to hear the
Gospel of the Son of God. the people
who belong to those churches, to-
gether with their pastors, must 60
to these unsayed ones; '+--';!
Third-While the churches every
where must condemn the desecra-
tion of the Lords Day, dances, balls,
card playing. gambling, unbelief in
Chfst and evcry-.other sin-popufar
and unpopular---the church, 'nieni-
bers and the faithful pastors must
take special pains to get the peo.
Pie guilty of these sins to under
stand that Jesus and His people love
the sinner even. though thevfcon-
denim his sins. 1t is an easy .mattcr,
for. the unsaved man to conclude
that Christ and His people are, their
enemies, because they speak out
against the wrongs they ara
guilty of. .,aLE Z, =!
Fourth-The holding of Gospel
meetings in dance ,halls, theaters.
etc, by the churches on Sunday
afternoons affords a splendid on
portunity for the Suse of the yartee
talents possessed by members Of
these churches. 1t brings into. play
their ability TO sing, to make peopfe
welcome. to. distribute tracts to
lead In prayer. to speak to the un-
sayed and to labor with the anxious
ones and finally to lead the truly
penitent to Christ. -
Fifth-It ought to be said that

Poineare Takes Charge.

M POINCARE, on. Thursday, received in the
lvl. French chamber the expected and re-
quisite vote Of confidence. This followed his ad-
dress outlining his policies in which an unyieldne
attitude on reparations and an attitude of rather
indefinite demand in regard to Angio-French rea-
tions were the chief features M. Poincare was
wildly cheered by the deputies, we are told. One
wonders If the new premier will receive a vote of
confidence, say four months from now, and If the
cheering of the deputies at that time will be for
him.
Premier Poneare will follow one of two
courses: He will either accept the program of
his predecessor, after having denounced it or he
will persist in approximately his pre-announced pro-
gram and fail to attain the objects of it. If he
pursues the latter course, that is if he adopts an
attitude of extreme ntransgeance he will tenn.
porarily ALLEVIATE Britain, will chill the regard of
America and will get nothing substantial from
Germany. He will interfere with the impending
reconstruction of Europe, postpone readjustments
and reconcliations, and get no noteworthy benefits
for France Under such circumstances, how long
could the Poincare ministry endure The French
are materaiistic;5 they want results-materiaI re-

COMBATING DEADLY

oxide. practically it often spells ac-
cident or death.
The Bureau of Mines says that
carbon monoxide is one of tne mos.
widely distributed and most \fre.
This is what 1t Is and what it
does:
Carbon monoxide gas is a prod.
uct of incomplete coIhbusuon. and
since it. is without co'or, odor, or
taste, its presence is frequently un-
suspected in many places where- 1t
exists. 1t Is an ever-present dam
ger about blast and coke furnaces,
smelters and foundries. 1t may be
found in buildings having a lcaky
furnace or chimneJ. and 1" 5Lili-

either by accident or in an attempt
at suicide, from artificial illuminat-
ing gas. People may be affected by
leaks wherever water gas Is formed
or used. The exhaust gases from
gasoline motors under average run
ming conditions usually contain
to per cent carbon monoxide, and
sometimes as much as IS per cent:
deaths from running an automobile
engine in a closed garage are not
infrequent. A similar danger may
arise in operating gasoline engines
in launches without sufficient venti-
lation. The gas is formed also in
stoker rooms, in gup turrets on
battleships, in petroleum refineries,
and by the Lablanc soda process in
cement and brick plants. In under
ground mines carbon monoxide may
appear as the result of shot firing,
mine explosions. or mine fires, and
In tunnels where automobiles, coal
or oil-burning locomotives are
operated.
In spite of the common occur
renee Of carbon monoxide poison
ing there appears to be no uniform
ly recognised treatment for a per-
son overcome by carbon monoxide.
In. the rescue work of the Bureau
of Mines, however, a method has
been developed which has been
supported by laboratory inyestiga-
tion,- and has proved successful in
practical experience, over. & period
OF years.
The first and most important
thing in caring for case of acute
carbon monoxide poisoning is to get
the. poison out of the blood. Every
moment that it shuts the oxygen
out Of the hemoglobin adds to the
chances for failure of respiration
and 'faiiure of the heart Every
minute that the tissues are sup
piled with only part of the oxy-
gen they need increases the danger

Water and Oxygen Not
In Spectrum; Life Is
Doubtful.

Is the planet. Venus. inhabitedf
The discovery OF the absence Of
water vapor and oxygen In the
spectrum of Venus made recently
by DR.. Charles e. St John and
Seth B. Nicholson at Mount Wilson
Observatory. raises this question.
= The method used by these as
tronomers was to obtain such a
large scale spectrum of Venus that
separation of the lines Of like
elements originating In the atmos-
pheres Of the two planets would
be produced due to the great rela-
tive motion of the two planets. II.
for instance, oxygen existed in
both atmospheres there would be
q doubling Of the lines Of oxygen
in the large scale spectrum of
Venus. one line arising from oxy-
gen in the earth.s atmosphere and
the other froms oxygen in the at
mosphere sof Venus.

amounts in the spectrum of VenuS

as conclusive proof that these es-
sentials to life do not exist in the
~
tain that the light that we receive
from Venus which Is reflected sun

elements in the planets atmos-
phere before II was reflected to
our eyes.
We know that in the case of our
own planet fully 40 per cent of
the rays from the sun that strike
the earth's outer atmosphere are
turned back without even entering
1t. Moreover. there Is evidence that
the outer layers of our atmosphere
may consist entirely % hydrogen
while water vapor. prime essen
tial to life exists only close to the
surface. 1t is conceivable that the
light from our own planet, which
Is reflected to another world. may
originate chiefly atthe outer lin
it's of the atmosphere and be large
ly reflected sunlight that has never
even entered the atmosphere. The
same may be true Of Venus. The
nature of the spectrum obtained
will depend entirely upon the depth
to which the solar rays penetrate
and in such a dense atmosphere as
Of penetration may be extremely
slight.
1t would be interesting to see
this method of separating lines in
the atmosphere of the earth and
another planet applied in the case
Of Mars. Here conditions are quite
different. The atmosphere Of Mars
is extremely rare and most of the
solar rays, probably penetrate all
the way to the surface before
they are reflected to our eyes.

that instead of a reduction OF taxes

there has been an increase compared
with 1919.
In the United States federal taxes
alone totaled s4.925,OOO,OOO in 1919
and in 1921 reached total of $4,43O,-
100000, which appeared to be a de-
crease of l1.2 per cent. The report
of the conference contends. however,
that inasmuch as the 1921 dollar had
a purchasing power of 1853 per cent
less than the 1919 dollar, federal
taxes in 1921 were actually l5 per
cent higher than in 1919.
