PASTOR DISCUSSES ANGELS
Gods Laws Never Change, Rev. Gun.
scOlus Declares.

THE Bible is based upon angelology
and occultism." Rev. Charles H. Gun
soIus declared at the Brightwood Con
gregational Church Sunday.
Next to the name Of Jesus and His
miracles, there is no other subject
which is so important and which oc-
cupies so much space in Gods word
as the world Of Angels and spirits" he
said. 1.-TWO hundred and forty-eight
times does the Bible refer TO angels
This proves the significance and i'm
portance which has been allotted them
by the biblical writer's.
Tn the ancient days the angels ap-
peared IN human form. They spoke:
they walked; they talked and ate with
men. God never changes, neither do
the laws of the spirit world or of ma
ture," he said 1T IS just as possible
for angels to come now as it was
1000 years ago"

it is death for either the animal or

Many animals and birds unknown

these. I must state that tho lion

- - in Mr.. and Mrs. Martin John
sons African Hunt Pictures.
Camera trained animals are not
used in this movie. but the actually
wild and savage animals are re-
vealed in their native haunts in dark
est Africa.
The Johnson hunt pictures are to
my mind the most entertaining series
Of adventures ever have encoun-
tered in my experiences as a writer
Of the theater.
I cannot praise these pictures in
sufficiently glowing terms. Let me
record once and for all that II you fail
to visit the Ohio this week you will
miss the greatest thrill of your life
am sure that my suggestion is ex-
pressed In too mild terms.
These hunt movies are not tiresome,
but thrilling, educational and mighty
interesting. The Johnson pictures are
all the jungle books come to life. 1t
required over two years to get these
movies and a fortune of more than
$3.50 900 was spent. The Johnson pic
lures will be the talk of Indianapolis
long before you read my account.
The Johnson pictures excel in the
following ways:
The best opportunity in the world is
given one to study African wild ele-
plants at a close and safe range. Safe
for the theater patron but not for the
Johnsons.
Some Of the prettiest scenery in the
world has been photographed in its.
natural beauty. If this isn't art. do
not know what il is.
The best chance to study at close
range the wild giraffe as we'll as the
monkey family.

creases the entertaining value of the
silver screen.
The thrill Of big and wild game has
never been better presented.

 Many Classes Conducted.
 Besides many classes in gymnasium and swimming work the association conducts several educational courses. The coming winter term there will be courses in dressmaking, millinery, arts and crafte, special English, history of modern ..urope and applied psychol- ogy.

Dr. M Says Modern Theology
 Nscards Judgement Day Theory
There can't be any apathetic

God. There can't be any apathetic attitude.
 "The question is asked, How do you know there's a God to come to?' Frankly don't know, not as you know something demonstrable, such as a straight line being the shortest distance between two points.
 You can't prove by clear and con- else logic, such as straight line be- ing the shortest distance between two points, that there is God, but on the other hand, you cant prove by the same logic that there is no God All presumptions of the world point to the existence of such being.
 Opposes Evolution Theory
 Suppose I were to show you some complicated, delicate mechanism such as the seismograph, which registers earthquakes. The skeptic asks: Who made that?' I reply, No one What, no one?' No one, it just chanced to be by accident. DO you expect me to be such a fool as to be- lieve that?' No, nor do l think you such a fool as to believe that the re- markable world with its amazing adaptness and man with his highly organized personality, is but chance of atoms which merely came to be- t
 Much of our present day theology thinks of God as of the past, that He made the world as man winding up a watch and now sits in judgment ready at certain time to have the watch run down, when He will in His own good time close up things on

The Y. W. c. A. on Hungerford Court. which has become the most popular rendezvous in New Britain for many girls and women, is 76 per cent self-supporting through its cafe teria, it's dormitories and its invested funds. A campaign is now being con- ducted to raise s11,700 in order to make up the balance of the yearly budget.
 In the fall of 1909 the City Mission ary realized that some rovision should be made to meet the needs of the young women of New Britain. The boys were being taken care of by the advantages offered at the Y. M. c. A. while the girls had no recreation cen- ter.
 As the result of the efforts Of a number of prominent people a mass meeting was held in June of that year at the Y. M. c. A. with 300 rep resentative citizens present It was voted at this time to or ganize Y. W. c. A. in this city.
 On September 2S. 1909, the Y. W. c. A. was formally organized, and on November 1, started the work which has come to mean so much to the women of New Britain. In 1913 the big campaign to raise $75,000 was held and in 1915 the building con-

 There have been many cases of family misunderstanding in regard to money and transportation which have been cleared up through this branch of work.
 Blue Triangle Clubroonl.
 Last November. the Blue Triangle clubroom was organized by the off cials of the Y. w. c. A. It is sit- uated at the north end of Main street opposite St. Mary's church. The club room is open every evening except Saturday and Sunday.
 The work of the room includes two classes in sewing and dressmaking, two Girl Reserve clubs, a class in the reading and writing of English, a class in cooking and housekeeping, gymnastics and recreation for the girls. The room has been opened to benefit the girls and women who live in the north end of the city.
 The numbers who come to the classes and clubs are increasing daily. The room is attractively furnished and contains piano, victrola and li- brary.

Gods Plan for World Is One of Progress-Does Not Send Calamities as Pun- ishment.

Many people believe in God in 8 different manner, like they do busi- ness. They have a lowing and scraping acquaintance with Him but they do not know Him intimately said Rev. Dr. George w. c. Hill in his sermon yesterday as part of a se- ries of Lenten ser21ons analyzing the Apostles Creed.
 Taking the first of the creed, T believe in God, etc." Dr. Hill chose as his text, Hebrews H.; "He that cometh to God must believe He is; and that He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."
 He explained how people come in contact with other people in busi- ness way every day. They meet clerks in stores. and in other phases of business, to whom they are indif- ferent. They believe in the honesty and integrity of the people with whom they are doing business, but have no personal concern for them. We get nothing from them save the goods we buy" he said.
 When people meet in social way or are attracted by some unusual business transaction, the indifference passes into interest and clearer deeper feeling of confidence.
 Many people come to God as they do to those they meet in business casually. They have a sort of an indifferent belief in Him. They don't deny Him, of course, no same thinking person denies God in .hese times. but they have only al lowing and scraping acquaintance with Him. He has no particular part n their lives. They accord Him and respect, but it ends here.
 "Others however. enter into a closer with Him. Their interest nd confidence in Him grows into a i trong conviction.

earth, esta blish day of Judgment, condemn all the wicked to torment and take the, righteous to heaven with Him. Some people say wars, and famines, and pestilences. disaster and disease ar esimply the working out of his will, as though he used them deliberately to accomplish His purpose.
 "rhis was a despotic Coda czar. We conceive God under the form of a living, progressive reality. All this former idea is interesting as an an- rique.
 "Our modern thought of God is of enc who is moving on in, not a finished, but very much unfinished, growing world. Life is not static, nor settled. Life is an adventure and God is live living God who knows all about this adventure and can aid and guide us in it.
 Tt is an absolutely repellant thought to conceive of God as having made this world and set it going, to watch it and occasionally inter- vene with some plaques or war or other calamity just to bring men 10 their senses. This rouses all the an- tagonism in any reasonable man. It is absolutely against the instincts of our human nature, and human nature can't be better than God.
