clearly in the address he made to the court when on
Sept IA at Cleveland he sentenced to ten years in

whether he had anything to say why the sentence

$50 much we allow ourselves, but we hold back
at stealing and killing. Yet we like to read about
the clever crook who gets away from the honest po

in us finds familiar note. We identify ourselves
with him and that gives relief to the suppressed
criminal tendency in us.

1t is most gratifying to hear the
old tunes sung by a woman Of the
fame and vocal beauty Of this artist
In the past, l have thought that
Galli-Curci could not be more loved

more sincere love and appreciation

Another complete triumph for this

A Sermon for
Today
BY Rev. John r.. Gum

Text: "Much food is in the till
age of the poor" Prov. 1928.
Palestine was a land Of small
estates. 1t was the tillage Of the
small owners Of these small estates
that furnished the land with tht
bulk Of its food supplies. 1t Wa;
from this fact that the proverb OF
our text arose. In its meaning it
corresponds with another whole
some old proverb, Many Titles
make a nicllle." 1t teaches the
responsibility Of small gifts, and is
intended to encourage ordinary,
mediocre people who do not possess
much ability or influence.
You may belong to the class to
whom this proverb refers. You may
have only d tiny patch, and you
may think it does not matter much
whether you work it or not. But
it does matter. 1t matters every
thing to you. And it matters more
to the world than you can realize.
Who are they who have done
most of the worlds work? The
largely endowed men? mot manys
wise, not many mighty, not many
noble are called" History has here
and there n few geniuses, a few
wealthy men. But as against these
few the men that are rated as or
binary are to be counted by the
millions. And the bulk Of the worlds
work has rested upon the small
labours Of these many. rather than
upon the large labours of the few
who can be counted by units.
No matter, therefore, how little
your plot may be. Much depends
upon it's cultivation and tillage.
Your responsibility is to work il to
its fullest capacity. Remember, He
that is faithful in that which Is
least is faithful also in much"

ing to wear. Ills setting this season
is one of beauty. 1t is not gaudy,
but has the needed attractive
qualities to give to class and charm.
AS far as I am concerned, Renault
is doing the most pleasing work of
his unique career.
The feature movie at the Circle
this week IS Mike" The story is
about as poor and as a theatrical
contraption as I have seen on the
screen for a long time.
It is one OF these railroad yarns
which attempts to be comedy,
romance and melodrama at the
same time and this just is not being
done successfully this season, at
least not in this picture.
1t has its cute" moments and
when it is all said and done, Mike"
is just another picture. Sally
O'Nein is supposed to bes the featured
player. Judging her by her work
n this picture, Miss O'Neill has
much to learn. 1t may be the fault
Of the story, but she doesn't register
to any degree in this photoplay.
When the picture does come into
its own, it IS because Charlie Murray
and Ford Sterling are in the cast.
These two veteran funmakers
certainly do a life saving job for
Mike"

about Mike" I may be all wrong
about this one. but for the life of
me I can not see any reason to rave
over this one.
