"ABIE'S IRISH ROSE"
ON CIRCLE SCREEN

"Abies Irish Rose" as depicted
by Paramount in sound, is the fea-
ture attraction at the Circle the
alter this week.
Nancy Carroll, Charles Rogers and
Jean HerSholt are seen in leading
roles. Miss Carroll is seen as the
Irish daughter. Rogers plays the
part of the Jewish son, and Hersholt
is in the role of the Jewish father.
Paramount's version of Anne
Nichols cord-breaking stage play
is said to have mighty good chance
of establishing new screen box Of
flee records, just as the stage play
did in New York, where it ran for
more than five years. 1t is esti-
mated that in excess of eighteen
million people have seen the stage
show since it started on its UMPIRE
cedented run.
The story is one which almost
every theater-goer knows. An Irish
daughter becomes infatuated with
a Jewish son. The love is returned
by him and the two are confronted
with problems arising because of
their creeds.
Parents of both are vigorous in
their objection to marriage, with
resulting situations which keep in
terest high at all times until the
very end. Finally, through the aid
of the youths love, a rabbi and
priest, the two families are united
and forget their dissensions.
There also are talking novelties
and a sound news reel on the bill.

Editor of The CongregationaIist
T7HE alternative title of this les
Il son for young people and
adults is 1.-THE Way of Forgive
ness" Combining these lessons IT,
ties we have the proposition in &C
cord with the essential teaching of
scriptures that the way to forgive
ness is the way Of repentance and
faith.
The man who has no faith has
no real sense Of values. He can
not discern rightly the things that
are to be forgiven or the spirit and
meaning Of forgiveness itself.
The man in whose life there is
no place for repentance can hardly
be expected to understand the
meaning of repentance in others
or the forgiveness which any gra-
cious man, mindful of his own
faults, is ready to accord to his fell
lows.
Divine grace in forgiveness is the
glorified aspect of this quality OF
human sympathy and understand
ing. Or, perhaps, we should put it
the other way round and say that
human sympathy and understand
ing, especially as they become ex-
pressed in forgiving attitude to-
ward our fellow men, are the earthly
counterpart of heavenly grace.
New Attitude
The experience that founded the
Christian church was an expert
ence of repentance. 1t established
at once the new attitude Of heart
and mind in which a new structure
OF love and fellowship was possible.
1t was the note of repentance that
was sounded in the days of prepara-
ton. The cry of John the Baptist
as he came from the wilderness was,
Repent, for the Kingdom of Heav-
en- is at hand"
The first manifestation of the
teaching OF Jesus was in the WIN
ming of sinners. 1t was seeking
these, he declared, that he had spe-
cially come, and his appeal and in
yitation found response as many
sinful and discouraged souls turned
to him with new hope and devotion

Sunday School Lesson

The picture of the woman who
was a sinner bathing the feet of
Jesus and drying them with the
hairs of her head is one that
touches the very heart of this goS-
pei of love and Of repentance. The
stern Pharisee, Simon, even though
he was large-spirited enough to in
vite Jesus as his guest, could not
quite understand so beautifully hui
man a manifestation of grace, and
its response. But it is only as one
does come to such understanding
that he becomes truly Christian.
Paul and Peter in their preaching
in the early church both empha-
sized this deep fact of repentance
as the gateway to the Christian life.
IT was the goodness of God that led
men to repentance.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness, as we have indicated,
is the divine counterpart of repent
ance. 1t implies that there is some
thing to repent of and something
to forgive.
It is we'll that in our lesson we
have the ultimate truth concern
ing sin, repentance and forgive
ness presented in the symbolism Of
the great parable of the prodigal
son. It is worth while to remember
that Jesus chose this story of hui
man fatherhood to present The
greatest message concerning God.
here could there be a truer wit
ness of the divine indwelling in
man than that in this use of human
agency to portray the highest
truth? Alongside that familiar
parable may we not place, also, the
great passage in the Lords Prayer
in which Jesus has similarly linked
forever the law of Gods forgive
ness and the highest law for mans
life in relation to his fellowmen?
Did he not teach us to pray, For
give us our debts as we forgive
our debtors? Thereby reminding
us that as we appeal to God for
forgiveness we are ourselves making
the law by which we would be
judged. that we invoke the law that
we apply in our own lives.
How many Of us come to Godd

about IL feet square, win be built into the

story of todayS civilization, the SympoSiumS
giving the reasons for its fall, and articles and

inspect.
Between 500, 600 and 100000 will be spent in
building the pyramid. More than 1900 sacks
of cement, $1,000 cubic feet of sand and Sd 900
cubic feet of gravel will be used in construct
ing the base and the shaft More than half
of the base has been completed and the plans
and specifications for the shaft await only the
return of warmer weather before being put
into operation in building the main part of
the base and the shaft. Preliminary work
included the construction of an amphitheater
around the base, natural seating ground for
several thousands of persons, with Harvey
planning If possible, to put tiers of concrete
in place after the pyramid has been constructed.
When the pyramid is completed, which is
expected to be in 1881, it will be given one
year to dry and the concrete to season. be-
fore it is sealed. Then the articles Harvey
is collecting will be placed in it and the final
preparations made to seal the obeliSk to await
entrance at some future date. -
THE symposium describing the ills and the
diagnosis of the current era which Mr..
Harvey will write during that year will be
printed upon a special paper. The paper then

copies one for each room in the obeliSk will
be the last items to be placed within it. Each
book will contain between 800 and 400 pages.
Volumes on each industry and science Of
today will be placed in the main room. with
pictures of all inventions and discoveries. In
addition. a book that will aid in translatng the

will be sealed with reinforced concrete and

The future civilization that enters the pyra-
mid must have reached the state where it is
familiar with the use of dynamite and steel
before it can break into the shaft. Each room
will contain information about the other two,
in case one chamber should be damaged in
entering.
Mr.. Harvey doesn't consider his plan as
something that should be laughed or jeered
at. He considers that it is sound and logical
and that his act will win him the blessings
and the thanks of many future Psychologists
and historians.

u mr. ARION JOYCE did net realize
H/A that there was nothing unusual
HA about her predicament. Analyz-
ing it, it used to seem to her that
one had ever been harassed
and narrowed much she in her peculiar
circumstance.
The peculiar circumstance was that there was
q particular person who ever since Marion
Joyce could remember had been in her way.
Not that there had been ever the slightest de-
gree of conflict between Marion Joyce and this
unconscious party to her discomfort. They had
grown up in the same town together. they had
attended the same schools and occasionally had
met socially. But from her earliest memories
of Alice Laidlaw there had been something
about this attractive, vigorous personality that
had set to gnawing within Marion dull pangs
of jealousies and resentmentS.
It is true that in a way Alice Laidlaw had
always been a leader, yet Marion, in her way,
had by means been an inconspicuous in
competent student or member of the social life
of her community. While their paths had
crossed only casually, each of these girls, Ma
rion Joyce and Alice Laidlaw, had been en-
dowed with the gifts of personality and charm
OF the two, Alice Laidlaw had more of the
quality of aggreSsiveneSS which makes for
general popularity. She was president Of
school and social organizations, where under
the same circumstances Marion would only
have been an active respective member Alice
Laidlaw had an executive capacity for running
things. Even when she was 16 and in high
school. she had been potential clubwoman.
She then already frequent feature in the
newspapers, president of literary society, MEM
Der of a debating team, leader of conspicuous
student rebellion against faculty restrictions
That was probably where the shoe pinched
Marion. Although she would never admit it,
even to herself, it must have been that incor-
porated in the capable and intelligent figure Of
her colleague Alice Laidlaw Marion beheld
qualities that she herself yearned to possess
That was why, again without even admitting it
to herself, Alice -Laidlaw in Marion's way.
Every conquest of the Laidlaw girl was ana
thema to Marion. without even her nearest
