POLLS

Be sure to attend Loew's Poll the
alter Wednesday evening and partici-
pate in the hilarious fun of Uproar
Hour, the game in which the audi
ence plays and we pay.
A new screen luminary-and a
very tiny one-will be revealed to-
morrow in the person of siX-year-
old Irene Dare, who is the center
of the new spectacle romance
"Everything's On Ice" opening a
threc-day engagement at Loew's
Poll with starting performance to-
morrow afternoon. This charming
little sprite displays remarkable abil-
ity and versatility. Admittedly the
finest ice skater of her age, Irene is
seen at the head of number of ice
ballets that bring to the production
a quality of unusual beauty.
Purely as a comedy, the picture
is a delight. 1t tells the story of a
kibitzing and irresponsible uncle,
Roscoe Harms, who secures for his
little niece a job as the 1ce-skating
star of a Palm Beach night-club
ICfuC, dA1d dpPOl44to
her financial manager. Runnink up
enormous bills at a Florida hotel,
he plunges Irene's entire family
deeply into debts, and doesn't help
matters when he tries to marry her
older sister off to Northumberland
picks the wrong man. The picture
reaches its climax in a gale of
laughter.
The supporting cast includes, in
addition to Harms, such popular
screen players as Edgar Kennedy,
Lynne Roberts, Eric Linden, Mary
Hart, George Meeker and Bobby
Watson; all do excellent work.
On the same program is another
big hit 'The Girl From Rio" with
Movita and Warren Hull.

NATIONS HEALTH
BEST in SUMMER

The wage-earners of the United
States, as represented by the mil
lions of industrial policyholders of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, enjoyed better health dur
ing the summer months of 1889 than
in any corresponding period of the
past, according to the company's
statisticians. They explain that the
August death rate this year kept
pace with the mortality records of
June and July and dropped to the
lowest point ever reached in that
particular month. The rate de-
clined from 7O2 per 100000 in 1888
to 697.1 in 1899.
AS the result of the record low

mortality attained in June, July and
August, the cumulative death rate
for the first eight months of 1888
was only 1.3 per cent higher than
that for the corresponding period
Of 1888, the year in which mortality
among the insured dropped to an
all-time low level.
Ten causes of death now seem
likely to end 1899 with mortality
rates under the record low points
established in 1888. They are tuber-
culosis, pneumonia, appendicitis.

Church Exists to Make
God Real In the World
Rev. D. Walker Explains Mission, part of People in
the Great Eternal Scheme; Every Man in His Place

"The Church of Christ exists to
make God real, to make God live,
in the World" stated Rev. DR.. John
@. Walker, pastor of the Second
Congregational church in his SER
mon, That God May Live and Not
Die" yesterday morning.
DIR. Walker said in part:
We are but the channel of Gods
will and spirit, and a choked and
muddy channel at that, yet we are
that channel. We are but careless
in the sowing of the good seed of
gospel and the harvest is pitifully

small compared with the promise
of the seed we SOW yet If we did
not SOW this seed it might not be
sown. Nothing we do or fail to do
will be written down as worthy OF
high place in recorded history yet
you and 1, this congregation, this
fellowship, this church, have a part
to play in the great eternal scheme
of things. You and 1 can make
God live in this world to greater
and fuller degree than as If we
failed to do our duty. THAT God
may live" is the watchword of our
Christian service.
More POintedly
And now let me speak more par
ticularly and more pointedly about
our individual service. There is a
means to the end we seek. There is
a challenge we have to face. 1t can
best be summed up, think, in the
words from the Book of Judges,
And they stood every man in his
place" This church and every
church I have known is handicap
ped, crippled, limited, hampered be-
cause-it cannot be truthfully said
that every man stands in his place.
To be frank, some of the soldiers
of the Lound are sound asleep at
their posts and worse than that,
there are large proportion who
have no knowledge of the Orders OF
the Day, this day, or any other day.
Almost every church, and this
church is not as much of an excep-
ton as I wish it were, has an aver
age of one third of its members
busy, active, effective, one third in
termittantly employed, and one
either permanently unemployed or
stubbornly unemployable.
Two things l ask this morning of
the people of the Second Church.
Think of the work of the church
in larger, ampler terms. Man does
not live by bread alone but by every
word of God" Was it Walt Whit
man who said that man lives for
bread, beauty, and brotherhood. We
should not forget that the brother
hood of race and nation is the very
thing that tends to intensity the
hates and evils of our world order.
There is only one final brotherhood,
that which springs from the knowl-
edge and love of one great God and
Father of the whole human race.
Men, even when estranged from the
church, are drawn back to it at the
great crises of their lives. There
are few indeed who refuse the good
offices of the church in the hour
of bitter personal need. To serve
the Church OF Christ is no light
task. We serve the Church that
God may live and not die"
Every Man In His Place
And the second thing I want to
ask is that you forget not the story
of those who stood every man in
his place" There is no other hope
for this church or for any church.
The most magnificent cathedral is
but mauseleum except it be
warmed by the faith and fellowship
of Christian people. except men and
women go forth from its services to
walk and teach and witness as
Jesus lived and taught in the long
ago. TITS me! o Lord, standin' in
the need of prayer" Yes and in the
need of loyalty and guidance that
leads to humble fruitful service.
