Joe Alexander, novelty organist, has
arranged a number of special num-
bers to accompany the Murray and
Sidney comedy A shorter comedy
and a news reel will complete the
picture program.
In Life of Riley" Murray and
Sidney appear as chief of the fire
department and chief of police, re-
spectively, of Elmdale Center, rus
tic village. Besides having rival
positions, to make matters worse,
both are in love with the same
woman, a role enacted by Myrtle
Stedman. To add to both their
worries third rival, in the way
of Sam Hardy, a deep dyed city
slicker, appears on the horizon.
However, the picture is not filled
throughout with ludicrous comedy,
but some real dramatic sequences
and juvenile love affair tends to
give realistic touch to the story.
June Marlowe and Stephen Carr

Wis has an important role. William
Beaudine directed the picture. which
was produced for First National by

Sunday School Lesson

God called HIM from his discourage
ment, he had been apparently so
broken with his possibility of lead
ership that his passing and the
coming of Elisha as his successor
we're announced.
God spoke to Elijah in the still
small voice, and this is the first
great lesson for discouraged people
or for people who are tempted to
disbursement. So often in our
disbursement we look for some
great outward thing to rouse us
and strengthen us. We are con-
cerned about winds and earth
quakes, but reviving power comes
in quiet and unexpected ways.
Another of the signal ways of get
ting away from encouragement is
getting where we ought to be. The
Divine Voice said to Elijah: What
doest thou here?" 1t may be that
there are times when people need
rest and relaxation, when new
faith and new hope revive as one
goes aside to pray; there were times
in the life of our Lord when He
went into the mountain and con-
tinued all night in prayer.
But there are other times when
the only hope Of the soul is in
activity and stimulation. In our
Encouragement we are apt to turn
to ways of loneliness when we
ought to be seeking the help of
fellowship and communion. We are
apt 70 neglect our tasks when we

with all the drama of a Dumas and
the color and realism of zola.
She spared neither herself nor
those with whom she had been as
sociating.
She told of her early days in the
little town where she was born; OF
her schoolday sweetheart; of her first
misstep and of leaving her home
and loved ones in the dead of night
so as to not inf1ict her shame upon
them. She told of the quick whirl
down the crimson path until she
found herself an inmate in house
in a redlight district. Then she
told of the years of suffering, of
beatings, of sickness and disease.
The climax came when she told
of accidentally meeting her girl
hood sweetheart, how the old love
returned to her and how the sud-
den realization that she could never
become bride or mother shot
through her heart like a cold blade
of steel.

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, ID. D.,
Editor of The Congregationalist

Elijah was in the wilderness fight
ing his worst enemy and ours-dis-
couragement. 1t seems amazing
that Elijah should have been dis
couraged and should have gone of
to the wilderness, praying that he
might die, in the very hour OF his
signal triumph over the prophets Of
Baal and his complete vindication.
The fact, however, is not I'M
typical in life. The general theory
that encouragement lays hold OF
men in their hours of defeat, but
thatethey never feel it in their hours
of victory is not upheld by all ex-
perience. There are men who can
fight without flinching> as long as
they are beSet with difficulties and
dangers, who never think of giving
in, but who in the hour of their
triumph are face to face with the
most crucial moral and spiritual
dangers. AS a general thing it may
be said that the hour of success and
victory is the hour in which man
needs to look most carefully to his
spiritual safety.
Moreover, in his moods and dis
couragements man has strange
faculty of being just where he ought
not to be. Here was Elijah running
off to the desert, asking to die and
bemoaning the fact that Israel had
forsaken God and that of the faith
full he only was left, at the very time
that 1000 in Israel had not bowed
the knee to Baal and in the very
hour when he had emerged to
triumph and splendid leadership.
Enemy of Encouragement
1t is true that woman had
threatened his life, but one cannt t
entertain the thought that Elijah
was either a moral or physical
coward, and had run off to the
wilderness simply to escape from the
threats of Jezebel. 1t was this
more terrible enemy of discourage
ment with which he was battling,
and in one sense he lost, for though

NEW CLANCY FILM
AT APOLLO SUNDAY

With Russia as its locale, Mock
cry Lon Chaney's newest produc-
ton, to be presented at the Apollo
next week, introduces the man of
1000 faces" in another Of the
strange characterizations that have
served to make him unique among
the motion picture stars of the
world.
"Mockery'' is a tense, vivid drama
of the Russian revolution that
brought about the overthrow of
monarchistic government and the
death of the Gar. Benjanline
Christensen, famous Danish di-
rector, wrote the story and directed
the picture as we'll. With a subtle
mingling of the screen technique of
Europe and America he has made
use of weird effects to punctuate a
direct American method of story
telling.
Chaney's role is that of Sergei, an
ignorant, unkempt peasant, timid
with the fears of generations of OPP
preston, who falls madly in love
with the beautiful countess, Tatiana.
Thrown suddenly into the red mael-
Strom of revolt, Sergei becomes a
dangerous beast into whose keeping
Tatiana is entrusted by queer trick
of fate.
It is an impressive character
study in addition to being an alb
sorbing tale of mystery and love.
Ricardo Cortez and Barbara Bed
ford are featured in the supporting
cast which includes Emily Fitzroy,
Charles Puffy. Mack Swain and Kai
Schmidt.

consist of a comedy, "The Mechani-

ought with rigid discipline to be
finding something to do.
The Still. Small Voice
How did God speak to Elijah?
Very much as he speaks to us. The
man who has not the capacity to
hear the still, small voice is not the
sort of man who is going to hear
Gods voice though it speak in wind
or earthquake.
The power to hear the Divine
Voice in the past has not been some
strange and miraculous thing, 1t
has come rather from the attuning
of the soul in Righteousness and sin
cerity and in willingness to obey.
The secret of Pauls life, for In
stance, was not in the heavenly
vision that he spoke Of coming to
him on the way to Damascus. 1t
was in readiness to obey. He summed
up the profound reality of his life
when he said to King Agrippa,
"Whereupon, o King Agrippa, was
not disobedient unto the heavenly
vision"
Much of the Encouragement Of
life would disappear if we could
watch ourselves in the moments
when all is well. particularly If we
would seek to safeguard ourselves
against moral and spiritual reac-
ton. especially if in addition to this
we would get where we ought to be.
and become busy with the thing that
we. ought to be doing.
