Bigger and bet- ter than Mammy's Birthday that made such a big hit at the Strand. The other acts are Keene & Foxworth n their latest songs and dances. Sam- my Duncan will also make his début Norwich in some Scotch humor d songs. He is giving Harrg Lau- di a race for being the cading Scotch comedian. You are sure to be_ entertained. Monroe Salisbury, the well known emotional actor, will be shown in his est screen success in the Phan- tom Melody. A six reel production. He was to marry the young heiress older eousin loved, but Giorgetto Pisani, thought more of Monte Carlo and .its adventuresses than of his bride-to-be. The call to arms, at Italy’s entrance into the war, fright- ened him and threatened to interrupt his pleasures, so, by trickery, he in- duced his proposed brother-in-law to take his place in the ranks. So as to inherit a title and a fortune, he buried his cousin alive. How that cousin escapes from the family vault, assumes a disguise, guides the des: tinies that eventually prove the un- doing 8f the ungrateful relative, and finally wins the love of the beautiful girl is strikingly told in The Phan- tom Melody, the Universal photo- drama being shown at the Strand the- atre tonight. Monroe, Salisbury is the star, Pretty Jean Calhoun is the girl in the picture. Breed Treatre. How one crooked deal inevitably leads to others is dramatically visual- ized in Vitagraph's new picture, “In Honor's Webb,” which will be the feature attraction at the Breed thea- tre today. Harry T. Morey is the star. He plays the role of Frank Powell, a wealthy manufacturer, who falls - in love with a beautiful woman, only to be defeated apparently in courtship by his younger brother, Bert, a weakling. Rodney Foster, a rascally social para- site enters the lives of the chief char- acters with an intrigue for the love of the governor's wife. The biack-mail- ing process of Foster leads, one aft- er the other, to greater deeds of evil and inspire criminally in his servants. There is a final solution of the tangles that are woven around the characters and a smashing climax oceurs. " Grace Davidson will. also be seen in ‘Suspicion.” This is one of the most dramatically powerful pictures ‘ever screened, the story being exceptional- ly tense, vivid and strong. Oother pic- tures on the bill include Snub Pollard in a roaring comedy entitled “Order in the Court,” and “Prizma,” the pic- ture beautiful. 4 Davis Theatre. Ladies, How would like to buy your spring hat from Bill Hart. That's not as improbable as it seems, for the noted two-gun man is proprieter of a modiste shop in his new Paramount Artchaft picture, “John Petticoats, which is at the Davis theatre today The filming of the story took the fa- mous star from the great north woods to the old eole section of New Or- leans. He starts as a lumberjack and is prised to learn that he has in- herited a modiste shop from a de- ceased uncle in the southern city. De- termined to investigate, “Hardwood” John Haynes, the hero, played by Mr. Hart travels to New Orleans and there becomes involved in a serio-comedy of big dramatic scenes, laughs and' a pretty little romance. The second feature on this programme is Billie Burke in “Sadie T.ove,” a delightful tomedy of the better class. The story: was adapted from Avery Hopwood's well known Broadway farce by the same name. It centers around a viv: cicus girl who shortly after her mar- riage to a handsome Italian count im- agired herself in love with a, “twin soul” with whom she had had an af- fair some time previous. A funny Rainbow comedy completes the show. LAUREL GLEN Zero weather did not interfere with the supper and dance held at the Com- munity House, Saturday night. There was a large attendance and all enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Mu- sic was furnished by Mrs. Jones and George Greenwood, of Pendleton Hill. Bowrden Geer, after being confined to his home for some time, was able to return to schoo! Tuesday. Mrs. McCullock has retarned ‘to her home, after a week spent at the i home of her brother in ew Jersey, For the first time in several years sleds are very much in use in this place. THE KIES CO.

Oculltism has been a favorite study for a decade or more. - Scientific psychics have: engrossed attention.for half a century and more, which is a study apart from the subject .with which I am to deal. Spiritualism has received a new <Jmpetus from the world bereayement which the war en- tailed .and by ‘the suffrage of certain scientific experts; which has made necessary .a new appraisement of its merits, and for this we do not need tor unqualifiedly approve or denounce. An error for its promulgation needs a truth to wing it. There is a large sense in which we are all spiritualists. We acknowledge the existtence and power of psychic forces. We are our- selves spirits and not wholly' impris- oned in flesh and blood. “Spirits with spirits blend.” - God is a spirit and is to be worshipped in spirit, and we are akin' to spirits and hold to our faith in the “Communion of saints,” many of whom ‘have crossed the mortal frontier. Those who have passed from us are alive; the same vital personalities as when here. Maeterlink in his play of the “Blue Bird” taught us to speak of them not as dead, but as *“The Others.” -Our interest in them and theirs in us is vital. Our Bibles are our authority for believing that the spiritual world is not hemispherical. Lines *of communication are not all cut. Messengers from the Unseen have burst in upon us. An .angel ministry and the inearpiation and res- urrection attest this. Jacob's ladder still connects the two worlds and the messengers ascend and descend. Mose and Elias are in the witness box. Jesus crossed the seam of separation and recrossed it. He recalled the dead, though they brought no messages or something sealed the lips of the evang- elists. Paul was caught up into the heav- enlies, but what he saw and heard was unutterable in human language or was rigidly “censored” and left us unenlightened. Some men's silence is more suggestive than other men's gar- rulity. And so the great Biblical si- lences are as imposing as their rev- elations. And to these intercommuni- cations revealed, by Scripture’ and by great literature which has peopied the world with invisible .beings and ministers, millions of whom, . Milton tells us, walk the earth, both while we wake, and while we sleep, we may add these intuitional beliefs that there is to all of us the touch of the vanished hand, this sense of the nearness and aweing impression of these silent min- isters and ministriesl, voiceless and invisible; of the beloved dead, con- cerning which, however, we prefer to be silent. All this we may freely ad- mit without committing ourselves to the revelations of the’ seance 'and the intermdiacy of the professional medi- um. Dut we are startled by the fayor- able appraisal of scientific men. But does the study of the structure of the| physical universe qualify -dogmatic pronunciation upon the laws of the | spiritual world? Does knowledge in ithe sphere ‘of gne’s ‘specialty make a man an expert in a totally different sphere? Does authority yimply autherity Things of the &pirit y |discerned. In the. early. chapters of ithe Bible is' the story ~of origins, whether History, Poetry, Parable, nead not be discussed. But some things lie on the surface. Man innocent and in the image of God seems accessible to a sort of cosmic communion. Ce- lestial visitants and ministers were his He -was given dominion, the forces of nature. He was master, but his sin incurred the _les of this mastership; and the right and power slipped his grasp. Nature re- volted against' his rule, ‘enslaved her predestined master. in physi philosophy are spiritual in control over; ir | before the powers of nature, terroriz-' played. d Dby these elemental forces, avage trembles and cowers before the pitiless forces of nature, storm and tempest, flood and flame. He even erected these forces of nature into objects of worship and sou propitiate them - by sacrifice. through redemption man has busy recovering his lost dominion. have seen Jesus, who recoy dominion, who was the master of the| physical powers. In the new eras‘ which- brought intellectual and moral emancipation. these antagonistic forces of nature have been tentatively mastered. ‘Sea and air and flame, electricity, ete, have become servants to man. We sail the oceans, tunnel| the mountains, travel through the| 2ir and send our messages around the' world. Nature is fast surrendering her. old tyranny and yielding to thel| masterful grip of her real master. Scientific men have been the witness- es and agents to this recovery of do-| minion. They have discovered that| matter is the agent of spirit; is itself| spirit-woven, and have learned .that matter and spirit are not divorced' but in close alliance. Sir Oliver Lodge told us twenty vears ago that the| tunnel is approaching completion and! that we can hear the click of the, picks on either side and the way will be open in due time. It is not strange that some of them have been over- sanguine when' they .have promised the resumption of the intended lines of communication. Perhaps the open lines may only lead to a larger phys- fcal realm, for the spiritual realm is not for mortal eyes or ears. Moral rectifications are essential to the dis- cernment of the spiritual. Some of| us would enter our protest against| too much modern spiritualism. L It cannot be made a religion of. It cannot function as a religion. We may or may not have certain touch With the.departed but a belief in its disclosures does not go to the root of the real facts of life. It does not pro- vide forgiveness for my sin.

We protest against the publici-| ty given to many revealings of this, cult. If messages come to us from loved ones we should regard them too sacred and too personal to expleit them and should resent the interven- tion of the professional medium. III. We protest the commercializ- ing of these messages for wide dis- semination. IV. We protest on account of th wide contrast many of these messases) bear to the majestic portraiture ot the future which the scriptures preseut. We prefer the reserve and dignity of these scripture profises. The house; of many mansions. The home prepar- ed. The assurance of eternal jife. The white raiment washed in rhe blocd of the Lamb. The far more eéxceed- ing and eternal weight of glory. The glory of things unutterable. Thel things that eye hath net seen nor heard nor entered the heart of man. The city of God. The heavenly Je- rusalem. The great becoming - the progessive march of redeemed spirits, as powers of an endless life. The re- covered image of God the Spotless Spirit. The height and depth, length and breadth of the love of God. These e S ,8on, Mrs. J. E. C. Leach, Mrs. Chas. find echoes in the human spirit and fit into ail the innermost folds. And resting in these promises we wait the dawn of the great day, in whose sky no clouds will float and no shadows of evening fall. H BIBLE CLASS SUPPER" l WITH THREE SPEAKERS \The Men's class of the First Bap- tist Bible school, Rev. George H. Strouse, teacher, held one of its en- joyable socials at the church Tuesday evening. ' Promptly at 7:30 o'clock forty or more members with a few invited guests were seated at attractively laid tables where was served the follow= ing menu: Beet soup, rolls, dill pick- les, celery, banana salad, saltines, squash pie, doughnuts, cheese, cofTee. Serving were Miss Grace Stetson, Miss Rose Thomas, Miss Mildred Fill= more, Miss Bernice Willey, Miss Lil- lian Cross, Miss Mazie Stamm and Miss Vera Stetsen. The pleasure of the class at having| as its ‘guests Rev. Alexander H. Ab- bott and Principal Henry A. Tirrell of the Academy and former Mayor Al- lyn L. Brown was expressed by Wal- ter M, Cowan, who acted as toast- master in his usual pleasing style. Mr. Cowan introduced Rev. Mr. Ab= bott, who spoke most interestingly up- on Democracy “What Democracy has a right to demand of the church. In developing his subject Mr. Ab- bott introduced these three points: First, What the church in its make- up must be democratic in its organi- the progress of God. Measurement of Time, wes the thought of Principal Tirrell's address, which was heard with great interesi.| All enjoyed hearing Mr. Brown who,! while not expecting to speak, re- sponded to an invitation to do so. The evening closed as one of the most enjoyable given by the class. ‘The committee of the evening was' LeRue Bliven, chairman; Walter M | Cowan and George Amburn, assisted' by a supper committee, Mrs. Le Rue Bliven, chairman, Mrs. Louis Wheeler, Mrs. Frank Davis, Mrs. Frank Rob.n- Cross, Mrs. Charles Pearce and Miss| Mary Dolbeare. ! COUNTY CONGREGATIONALISTS EXCEEDED QUOTA BY $48512 Because of the postponement of the campaign in the Second- Congrega- tional church of New London to Jan. 18, returns are just in for the whole of New London county in the Pilgrim Fund Campaign of the Congregation- alists. A dong time ago it was pretty well known about the state that New London had the honor of having pro- duced the largest individual gift in the country for the Pilgrim Memor- fal Fund. .
