"VANITY'S PRICE"

"Vanity's Price," which opens at the Liberty theatre for a two day run beginning tonight, is distinguished and powerful drama from the pen of Paul Bern, featuring a cast of eX- ceptional merit Anna o. Nilsson, Stuart Holmes, Wyndham StaEding, Lucille Ricksen, Cissie Fitzgerald, Ar thur Rankin and Dot Farley are the featured players R. William Neill, who directed this picture, fer F. B. O., has turned out a product which rivals the greatest dramas of the screen, ac- cording to those who have seen the picture. The story deals with the am- bition of a great actress to regain her youth, and the difficulties which be- set her when her overwhelming sex attraction is restored to her. The scenes between the actress, her lover, and her son are replete with a tre- mendous emotionalism which trans cends anything seen on the silver sheet this season, many critics aver.

Rev. G. H. Schneck Says Moral Standards Are In. fluenced by Social Ten. dencies of Times and Environment.
GEORGE WASHINGTON The Christian
By REV, G. II. sCHNECk

George Washingtons moral habit,
 have been discussed again, lately
 Old charges against him have beer i restated: He was great cart
 player, q distilor Of whiskoy cursed
 and often used violent language. IT
 explanation of such defects it has been said; "In all this Washington typitled the true southern gentle.
 man of his times.'
 | We all are in our moral and re, ligious standards more or less in.
 fluenced by the social tendencies ol
 the times and places we live in. We cannot sever ourselves from them completely. Neither could or would Gcorge Washington. Of the best oi
 us 1t is ever true: "Onc thing thou lackcst.' Throwing stones at others
 is easy. Grateful people however are always inclined 10 place halos around their heroes. But alas-- these heroes are but human and men of flesh and blood.
 Indeed. the father of our country was a gentleman: Courtesy, kind ness, sclf-control, diligence, pune tuaity and loyalty 10 conscience were outstanding traits of his char acter. He was an aristocrat, Soine- what distant, of fine stately bear ing, he was a prudent manager, economic and rigid in money mat t"rS. But cultural qualities do often but faintly reveal the deeper traits of the religious life. Tho religion of q man is after al! a precious per- sonal possession which, though known by it's fruits is hidden away in the secret chamber of the soul. Who is he that can intrude into it? Who would even attempt 1t and claim full knowledge of these SO crets? And Washington but rarely spoke of himself.
 He always ycarned for the Divine. The man who, according to q tradi- ton almost sacred to the American. prayed in the secluded grove of Valley Forge, had as young man written his own prayer book, prayed at his bedside and said grace at every meal; he read his Bible and attended church. In later years his afternoons were mostly spent in quiet private devotion; the Lords day was sacred and holy to him. Although never confirmed he was warden and vestryman in the church of his Virginia home and gave liberally 10 its sup port.
 George Washington was a man of strong faith in the rulership and guidance Of God.
 Somebody has counted in his let ters and diaries 70 different names which he employs in reference to God. True--in what he wrote he hardly ever uses the most wonder full name of God, the name:

BAPTIST MINISTER WRITES IN DEFENSE
 OF WASHINGTON--- "THE CHRlSTIAN"I

Father. Washington's faith iy God was a stern aspect Of God
 special providence, Il serious, son
 bre reverence and pious depen' ence on tho Almighty. The gret
 historian George Bancroft righy says Of him: Belief In God ad trust in his everything power formd the essence of George Washingtols character"
 Indeed Washington lad q passion- ate nature which was often tried 10 the utmost, yet the times when l's lost control of himself are so few that each can be remembered in- diVldually, And who is greater the man Of fiery temper who brides his passion or the frigid, indiffer- ent man who apparently has no temper at all and glories in this? And, as 10 tho faults which Wash- ington shared with his times and his class, it may he said that they were nor" than offset by the traits which put his life far above the prevailing ethical standards of the social strata in which he moved. He identified himself completely with q great cause. He would not sell or hire out slaves because he would not divide families. In his will he set all slaves free which ha held in his own right. The spirit Of Jesus constrained him.
 And vt We find hardly any d. rect reference to Jesus in his many letters and diaries Thus he was even suspected of inndelity. But faith is not q matter of verbal terms. barading with the name of Jesus Is by no means Conquering with him and being conquered by him. In fact-abuSe, misrepresentation, vil- tCation hfSct Washington often and his sensitive nature felt them acute ly. But l'r could overcome it all and torgaTe, A Greater One than he was upheld him in doing this.
 Father of Mcrcies, take me 10 thyself" were Washington last words; the prayer of Gods mercy and grace had certainly been the se- crct and silent petition also in tho life of him who has been and is tho First in the hearts of his country men,"
