scene that was played in the semi
darkness He said to himself. why
should 1 continue to act during the
scene when Hamlet speaks with the
ghost of his father? No one will
see my expression Or know that I
am not showing any intensity of
feeling. Why wear myself out
needlessly?" His idea was to save
his feelings and his expressions
when they would be visible to the
audience. Well, the result was dis
astrous. The audience could not see
that Tree was not acting but they
felt it none the less. There was no
feeling in him, there was none on
them, and the scene fell fiat. Ham
let was no longer in agony. He
was a mere shadowy figure and
nothing more. An actor must be
sincere In the part he plays, how
much more then the Christian who
plays his own role and fashions his
own soul on the stage of human
life?

Sincerity Needed
In World OF Today
Condemnation, Lack Of Confidence Apparent Declares
Rev. DR.. John G. Walker in Sunday Sermon

Condemnation, denunciation, dis

lions must refuse to accept and APP

Rev. Dr.. John G. Walker, pastor of
the Second Congregational Church,
yesterday morning in his sermon,
{ Approving the Things That Are
Excellent"
Things Excellent.
Dr. Walker said in part:
I am sure that "the approval of
things excellent" is the basis of all

Tic school or in religious education,
whether In the primary grades or

of education but I have had some
great teachers and they have left
distinct impressions with me. One
of the teachers for whom / have
great respect and fond affection was
a man who taught in the little one
room country grade school. The
school house and the school room
were very plain and there was no
great effort on the part of that
humble school-maSter to beautify
the school room or to add any par
ticular frills to the process of get
ting a primary education. That
school teacher was something of
drillmaster but he loved good,
sound, honest work and his approval
of such work was always hearten-
ing and inspiring. The years have
come and gone but I shall never
forget the lift and inspiration that
man gave me. That was rugged
honesty and a kindling enthusiasm
about the man and his interest in
common subjects of the primary
school that make him stand out in
my memory.
I may say that I am extremely
doubtful about the value of any APP
prevail Of things excellent which
does not involve some considerable
amount of cost and loss somewhere
along the way. I do not believe
that there is q cheap and easy So
luton to any serious problem in life,
You will invariably find that the
cheap and tidy solution to your
problem is no solution at all Just
SO, I believe that if your approval
of things excellent has never cost
you single meal, an hours sleep,
the slightest searching of heart, 1t
is very doubtful if your weight and
witness on the side of Righteousness
is of much avail. No, indeed, the
approval of things excellent, the
kind of approval that st. Paul had
in mind and which he showed forth
in his own life was earnest, jealous,
singlehearted, fortnight, and costly
You don't really approve of things
excellent by following the lines of
least resistance. AS one business

Sixth Sense.
There is a kind of sixth sense by
which we learn sooner or later
whether man is sincere or not. We
must take it for granted on our
part that others are going to know
sooner or later whether we mean
what we say or are merely mouth
ing the words. Here is a curious
but convincing story about the bust
ness of acting. 1t seems that Sir
Herbert Tree, who was a very dis
tinguished Shakespearian actor of !
generation or two since, once decid-
ed to let up little while he was
playing Hamlet, in particular in a !

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE GUIDE
An Editorial

Two weeks ago the Cumberland Guide
printed disgraceful story about the Ceancse
Workers Local 1874 Textile Workers Union
Of America. Last week they published an
attack in the letter columns from one who was
ashamed to have his name made public.
Let us say very deliberately that the own
crs Of the Cumberland Guide attempted to
promote group ha,rcds by means Of untruthful
propaganda
The Cumberland Guide has long been view
ed with suspicion by the union labor move
mcnt. But its current attacks are deserving
Of the ccnsure Of all people who have regard
for truth and who have a sense Of fair play
The items complained of are designed to
stir up agitation and throw a monkey wrench
into the negotiations which were proceeding
between the Local Union and the management
Of the Celanese Corporation of America
negotiations which the management spokesman
publicly asserted were progressing on high
plane and in perfect harmony
The article has tended to cause public
alarm and arouse public hatred against the
large body of Celancsc workers who are de-
handing. through their union. that the good
fortune which they have brought the company
be shared with them.
The paper made false statements without
making any effort of any kind to check with
Union officials and then. tongue in check.

Chamber Figures
On Advertising
Are Misleading

The Cumberland Chamber OF
Commerce radio speaker last week
spoke on advertising. He quoted
figures Of the Federal Trades
Commission showing that only
$50 stipulations were negotiated
by the ETC out of 864,556 ad.
vertising messages examined.
The statement does not give a
true picture. because in interpret.
ing these figures it should be
brought to attention that each
stipulation is not necessarily bas-
ed on one single advertisement
examined. In fact. and 1t is
usually the case, a stipulation
issues only after the advertise.
ment appears in many different
periodicals and newspapers, as
well as in several different issues
OF the same periodicals.
One stipulation. therefore, Of.
ten covers numerous violations
and receptions.
In quoting from the record Il
Is important not to leave false
impressions by imperfect inter-
pretations. Hence this explana-

merce omitted from the broadcast.
