PRINCE OF PEACE SHOULD ABIDE IN
 HEARTS RECESS
Ben F. Ray Draws Lesson From Solomon At
 Prayer Service

"Tbere is a secret chamber in the conscience of every man where no one has the right to abide, except the Prince of Peace. But He should abide in the conscience of everyone. If we take Him as our partner and permit Him to abide with us as the days come and go ana we reach a ripe old age, we may look hack over a life well spent and feel that faithfully we have served our day and generation," these were the conclud- ;no words of an address by Ben F. Kay, attorney. at last nights prayer service of the First Methodist church.
 N.-. Ray had been speaking on the dream of Solomon, where the Hebrew king had chosen wisdom and understand ing rather than long life, riches or the death of his enemies.
 The sneaker showed that as long as Solomon continued to choose as he dld as A young man, he was successful; put that the momont Solomon reached the heights of fame, the ancient king gave m the things that had made him great, and chose to follow the whims of fool ish women.
 Mir. Ray spoke following a prayer and song service led by Earle Stapleton, the newly appointed choir leader for the First Methodist church. Many of inc netitions uttered, asked for great relirious revival during the John E. Brown meetings to open in the city audi torium January 4.
 | A number of familiar hymns were sung at the opening of the service with tbe piano accompaniments played by Mrs. Earle Suspicion. After reading I Kings. 2nd chapter, beginning with the 10th verse, where the wise choice or Solomon is recorded, the speaker gave the promise of God to Solomon, that the throne of David should be established in him. but under certain conditions. .If ye shall at all turn from following me-" quoted the speaker from the scrip. ture," then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them.
 Wears after the first dream Of Solo mon, when God appeared unto hlm, Jehovah, made a second appearance, said the speaker. He told solomon then. For asmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my cove nant and my statutes, which nave com manded thee, will surely rend the king dom from thee and will give it to thy servants.
 "Each of us," continued the speaker, "s+ands like solomon, with our pro- gram in our hand. Let us ask ourselves three questions: Are we true to our homes, to our country, and to our church?" :,
 The speaker then discussed at length, lhow Christian homes are necessary to Christian communities, and how loyalty to the great Head of the church, must crown all,

Tell Me Why

What higher and nobler tribute can be paid a motion picture than that thousands of prominent men and women should approve of it. ''Tell Me Why" was most enthusiastically received in Chi cago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and many other big cities. The very delicate nature of the subject involved in this wonder picture makes it quite necessary to thus present our program with special shows for ladies only and men only with no one IS admitted. This policy has heartedly heen received as it gives ample opportunity to present the pictures as they be presented with out the slightest attempt at camouflage.
 Tell Me Why" dealing with ques- tions of sex is just the age old story of the most beautiful thing in life, motherhood It is not a so styled se< picture, it is a simple, sweet and very impressive story of self-indulgent wife who miserably ignors the legitimate desire of her husband for the right of childbirth. No attempt is being made, through glaring headlines and suggestive titles. to sensualize the pictures. An attempt is being made, however, to em- phatically impress upon the public the all importance of the through knowledge of the sex laws, as they should be

Persecution for Witchcraft.

The extraordinary delusion of witch
craft broke out among the Puritans at
Salem. Mass, in 1892, and caused the
deaths of twenty persons, nineteen of
whom were hanged and one pressed to
death. A reaction soon after set in ;
and, although in January 1893, three
others were condemned, no more exc
cutions took place, and soon after all
suspected persons were discharged
from custody. The responsibility for
the Salem atrocities has been put on
Cotton Mather, the Puritan the0lOgian.
He did much to fan the flame of fury
among the New Enganders, and pur-
sued with savage zeal all those per-
sons supposed to be guilty of this
crime
