as the association had for one of its

such purchases by member of the as

There is nothing in our bylaws or

be promptly dismissed from the SER

HAYS SAYS AMERICAN
PRODUCERS WILL SELL
COUNTRY TO WORLD
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-American pro
ducers will sell America to the world
with motion pictures writes VIII H.
Hays, commissioner. in letter to the
Christian Advocate. official publication
of the Methodist Episcopal church, re-
uuesting suggestions for active help"
in improving the service of the motion
picture.
American producers furnish the ma
jority of all pictures shown in the
world" said Mr.. Hays. "and correct
depicting of the life and habits of our
own and foreign people, each to the
other, will go far toward bringing the
international understanding and ap-
probation which moves in the direc-
ton of world peace. The producers
are making certain that all films sent
abroad, wherever they may go, shall
correctly portray American life, ideals
and opportunities.
Just as you serve the leisure hours
of the masses. you revet the Orders OF
society The motion picture industry
accepts the fact that the people of the
country have the complete right to re-
quire that motion pictures shall be
clean and shall be of the highest stand
ards of art and entertainment. Better
to ascertain its duty, the industry OBJ
tanned the cooperation of some eighty
nationally organized welfare move
ments."
Mr.. Hays named Sc new films as in
dicative of the coming type of pictures
and "of the direction of the effort that
is being made
"A committee appointed by the Ma
tional Education association" he add
ed, "is meeting with the members of
the association (Motion Picture Pro
ducers and Distributors, Incl, and
$ plans will be perfected to the end that
such need as now obtains, together
with the certain almost limitless de-
mand of the future. shall be met with

knows that his child coming into the
house reflects the atmosphere Of the
street. He may not respond SO quick
ly to influences as the child, but he
cannot live apart from the higher
moral and spiritual influences of life
reflected in the church, without the
whole of his moral outlook becoming
lower The church affords him the
opportunity to keep keen edge on
his con science and lofty plane to his
moral life. The church is the anti
dote, the antitoxin and the vaccine of
moral life which keep the soul i'm
mune from the moral diseases of the
world in which we are forced to live
and work.
'The third reaon why the church is
of value to the individual life is be-
cause it steadies and strengthens a
man to meet hardship, trouble and loss
which are the common heritage of
mankind. The psalmist said he want
ed to live continually in the house he
God, that in the day of trouble he
might be hidden in a place of refuge.
Jesus said, Come unto me all We that
are heavy laden, and l will give you
rest Unnumbered thousands and
millions have proved the truth of these
words. 1t needs no argument to show
that the church has always been the
place of refuge to those in distress.
''The fourth reason why the church
is of value to the individual life is be
cause it holds clearly and steadily be
fore the mind of man the fact of i'm
mortality and the reality of eternal
life.
Uncertain Voices
Follow the history of mans belief
in Immortality as the piled up cen
turtles of the past record the story and
note how irregular and spasmodic and
uncertain have been the voices of sci
ence, philosophy and human aspiration
on this subject Now they have been
clear shining like star, now lost tc
view in the fog and doubt and uncer
tainty Now they have blazed like g
beacon; now men who have followed
the light have been as those following
wandering fires.

its testimony. There are limitations
Of immortality IN the oldest portions
of the Old Testament. There are
hopes Of Immortality in the better por-
tons of the Old Testament. There is
an expressed confidence in immortal
ity in the life and teachings of Jesus,
and the latter portions of the New
Testament glow with the reflection of
this great truth which the gospel
brought SO clearly to man. Since then
the church in one long unbroken tes-
timony has borne witness to its conf
dence in thisNsupreme truth.
when science has tried to tell US
that we are only of the earth, earthly
that we are lborn to breathe, to gasp
and then to die, that we are only as
other animals, and shall pass as the
grass of the field, then it is that the
church assures a blindly cropping world
that Jesus Christ brought life and i'm
mortality to light through the gospel
Leads Soul Heavenward
Lastly. but by no means least,
rather as summing up all the other
reasons personal as we'll as social, the
church is of value to the individual
because it brings the soul into COM
munion with God. The psalmist would
dwell in the house of the Lord all his
days that he might behold the beauty
of the Lord. Nothing can surpass the
beauty of the Lord. We gather the
flowers in handfuls and in armfuls and
lay them at his feet. We leave them
there for the sake of beholding him
in all his beauty. We gather the rich
harvests of the year, the golden
sheaves of grain, the yellow piles of
corn, We leave them as of little sig
Dificance when we behold the beauty
of the Lord. We gather the wealth OF
the world, its gold and silver and
precious stones; we make them into
things of exquisite beauty and lowell
ness. We pile up the beauties of arr
expressed in painting, sculpture and
architecture.
They are as nothing in comparison
with the beauty of his face when re
vealed to the soul in worship. We
gather knowledge and wisdom; the sci
ence and history and literature of the
world. We pile it high in libraries

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica-
tions will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and new

a day seeking to keep soul and body
together He must do this, if all these
hours are required of him, to get
food to feed himself and family, buy
shoes for the children's feet, and pro-
vide shelter and warmth to protect
them against the cold.
MateriaIism Uppermost.
Under such conditions as these he
thinks in terms of money, getting the
best of his neighbor, and securing the
waiting or stimulating in all this to his
better and higher thought of life. The
church comes with its opportunities
for service and worship and lifts his
thoughts from week to week up to
higher planes.
THE second reason why the church
is of value to the personal life of the
individual is because it submits a
mans conscience and moral life to a
quicken appeal. In the church we are
constantly facing the thing we ought
to do, and thing we ought to be. In the
world We are constantly facing the
thing we ought not to do and the thing
we ought not to be. No man can sub
ject himself continually to the strain
of the pull downward and resist it I'M
less he has counterweight pulling
him up. The car climbing the steep
side of mountain accomplishes the
difficult task because it has a counter
weight which enables it to climb the
steep incline. The church is the coun.
terweight for the personal life which
offsets the pull of moral gravity
which is so universally downward.
Sensitiveness of Spirit
MANS spirit is as sensitive to the
moral atmosphere a. a dandelion is
sensitive to the sunlight. He delib
erately shuts himself to the higher
influences of life when he lives in the
moral filth, fog and miasma of the
materiaIistic associations of the bust
ness, social and Industrial world. He
