When the film people chose to bring him to

Frenchman would first have to win New York.
His name had to be established and his reputa-

staged an Introductory party which was said to
have cost about $4,000. Whole sections Of .

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN n. GUM.
Souls Light Is Darkened.

Text: IF the light that is In thee be
darkness. how great Is that darkness. "
Matt, 623.
The poet speaks Of being led astray
by q light from heaven. BY which /
understand him to mean that he was
led astray by something heaven like in
his nature. And this is what / UNDER
stand Christ to mean by the light
within o man being darkness. He has
in mind the man who permits himself
to be led into evil by impulses which
in themselves are good and noble. He
Is thinking Of the man who possesses
brilliant qualities and who allows these
very qualities to lead him into deeds Of
darkness.
But the point Christ specially makes
concerning such a man Is that. Just
because his sin comes from something
noble In his nature, II Is all the more
dtfflcult to detect 1t. IF the light that
Is In thee be darkness. how great is
that darkness" How great Is the dark
ness when q mans vices are cloaked in
virtues. How great Is the darkness that
wells . mans sins when his sins origi-
nate in brilliant qualities. Nothing so
wells sin and makes 1t so difficult Of
being seen and recognized. as when 1t
is cloaked In the light of something
really good IN q man.
One is never in greater peril than
when he permits himself to be led into
evil by something noble in his soul How
noble is love. Yet into what peril men
and women are often led by misplaced
love- They deceive themselves, and ere
aware Of their danger, they step over
the precipiee into the darkness. And
how great is that darkness! Great
darkness always follows when the souls
light Is darkened.

WAYS of Reducing.

There are dozens of methods of re-

only real way. which is dieting. There
are rubber garments, chiefly to be worn
at night Though how one could sleep
is some of them is beyond mel which
reduce special parts by forcing peFs-
piration or by combining the flesh. They
are good, but they do not get at the
fundamental cause of overweight
There are reducing bath salts, which
some women / know have used sue
cesSfully-but these are apt to affect
the heart. so doctors should be asked
about them. They open the pores and
force a profuse perSpiration.
There are Turkish baths, which re-
duce for the same reason. And there
are special sets of exercises, which
cause the body to use up its surplus
fat, and which turn soft fat into firm
muscle. But none of these take the
place of diet, and most of them create
such an appetite that diet is much
harder to stick to.

Cant Support Me"

Yesterday We heard the troubles Of a
woman. and the gist of her complaint
was that her husband could not support
her. 1t seems that he is a fine family
man. but simply lacks the. ability or
whatever 1t takes to make money.
More than one woman has found her
self confronted with just that Situa-
ton, and 1t is not pleasant by any
means.
There are two solutions after con-
vincing ones self definitely that q man
lacks the earning capacity - provide
for a wife and family.
1t is futile to say that a man who
cannot support a wife and family de-
Gently should not marry and it Is of
no avail to inform his wife she should
never have married the man.
In a few instances the husband can
actually support his wife in decent
style. or even in the style in which she
has lived formerly. The latter becomes
socially ambitious and demands far
more than her husband can provide.
