Search the Seri ptures “This know also, that in the last perilous times shall come . . But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and werse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3; {1 and 13. Many people honestly believe that |the world is growing better. In {support of their belief they point "with assurance to our material pro- gress. They mention almost an end- |less list of discoveries and inven- llmns which have improved the conditions under which we live. | They call attention to the improved {equipment and methods employed |in offices and factories whereby the | number of working hours have been |greatly reduced; to the benefits to agriculture thru the use of modern | machinery and scientific methods of farming; and to the labor-sav- |ing devices which are in the mod- {ern home and which relieve the | housewife of many tasks that were | formerly irksome. But does this mean that the world is any better |off morally and spiritually? Health- |ful and agreeable conditions at |home and at work undoubtedly re- iflect upon the physical and mental |ability of men but such conditions | neither make nor remake men into moral and spiritual beings. Natural ‘l:mrl unregenerate men are “lovers !cf their own selves, covetous, boast- lers, proud, blasphemers, disobed- “iem to parents, unthankful, un- (holy, without natural affection, | trucebreakers, false accusers, incon- tinent, fierce, despisers of those :that are good, traitors, heady, high- iminded‘ lovers of pleasures more |than lovers of God.” (2 Timothy 13: 2-4) But someone says that by educa- tion and thru the processes of time {men will be educated out of these PER B” |evil tendencies.

There are the usual gripping mo- ments heavy with suspense and all the thrills of daring horsemanship and dangerous stunt riding, but the picture is, besides, a rare photo-, graphic treat. The scenic grandeur of the San Jacinto mountains is its background, and much of the action is laid in two little mountain ranch homes in the vicinity of Keen Camp where the company was on location for the filming of the pic- ture. . Tom Tyler is well named the ace of all western stars for he is not only unexcelled as a skilled horse- man and stunt rider, but he is blessed of the gods with a magni- ficent physique and a face danger- ously handsome from a feminine point of view. For four years he has been heavyweight weight lifting champion of the world. " TWO FEATURES ARE SHOWN AT PALACE l‘,“The Four Footed Ranger” with & good cast and featuring “Dyna- mite” the canine actor, is one of the two features now being shown at the Palace and on for the last two times tonight. It is a good western and all fans can enjoy it. “The Cruise of the Jasper B.”| the other feature, is a comedy pro- duction with Rod La Rocque and Mildred - Harris, former wife of Charlie Chaplin, She displays her- self to advantage, especially in heri bathing scene and when she starts to dress. Jack Ackroyd and Snitz Edwards furnish much comedy. La Rocque is seen as a swashbuckling son of the sea and is good in all of the reels. ! ‘The Palace orchestra plays for | both features. “THE SILVER SLAVE” | AT COLISEUM SUNDAY | et Manager Tugkett of the Coliseum | Theatré announces the coming of | “The Silver Slave,” starring Irene | Rich, a Warner production, for Sunday only. Not since her por-/ .trayal of the mother in “Lady| Windermere's Fan,” has Miss Rich, had a part so rich in emotional and | romantic possibilities as that of, the glittering widow, who, to save| her daughter ‘/rom seiling herself to the highest bidder in marriage, as she herself has done, conceives | the idea of stealing her daugh-, ter's lovers. This she does with such success that her daughtezi furiously denounces her until she, understands the reason. In the! cast are the lovely Audrey Ferris,! who plays the errant daughter, John Miljan, Holmes Herbert and Carrol Nye. The brilliant pro- duction is based on the story of Howard Smith, and was scenarized by Pefer Milne. Howard Breth- orton directed.

Remember “the Holy Scriptures are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” For “all scripture is given by in- spiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for cor- rection, for instruction in right- eousness: That the man of God may be perfect, and thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3: 15-17.)

The increased use of both means adds to the general confusion. In the part of Poland which was formerly Russian, marriages are ratified solely by the churches, there being no civil ceremony. The Roman Catholic, the Orthodox, and the Protestant churches have power to dissolve marriages. In Poznania, the Polish Corridor, and Silesia, the German law ob- tains, namely, compulsory civil mar- riages and the.dissolution of mar- riages by civil courts, with the right to contract another civil marriage.
