WEEK OF PRAYER BEIIEOBSERVED

Dr. Kistler to Hold Meetings Nightly at Fourth Presbyterian. By THE VISITOR A New Year’s call to Thanksgiving and prayer, which has been issued by the Federal Council of Churches, will be observed this week by Indianapolis churches. The week of prayer, which the council wants observed, begins today and continues all week in this country. Dr. Edward Haines Kistler at the Fourth Presbyterian Church yesterday began observing the week of prayer with a special sermon at the morning hour. Tonight he will preach on “The Forward Look.” Various speakers will appear each night this at the Fourth Presbyterian Church. Thß Council proposes the following program of prayer for today: Topic—“ Thanksgiving and Confession.” Scripture Readings—Psalm xl.; Matt, xvii, 1-21; II Corr. iv. Let us give thanks for another year of the infinite patience and mercy of God. For every victory in our individual and national life of the Spirit of Christ. For the sense of failure revealing the greatness of our task; for the breakdown of worldly policies and the emptiness of earthly success, revealing our need of Christ and His sufficiency. For every adventure of faith through the overcoming of fear and doubt, and God's response of it. Let Us Confess —Our failure in past resolves; our lack of obedience; our denial of the spirit of fellowship; our feeble grasp of the range and glory of Christ’s Kingdom on earth; the closed mind and the hard heart and the censorious temper. And Let Us Pray—“ For the spirit of utter sincerity: the open mind to truth from whatever quarter; the ready heart to carry burdens in fellowship with Christ; the spirit of practical service and sacrificial sympathy; the willingness to learn from those to whom by temperment or conviction we are opposed. That being stripped of pride and searched in heart before the cross, we may claim no standing but in His mercy and grace." Many churches will indirectly take part in the national observance as many revivals are now in progress. ‘FAG END TO CHRIST’ “Personal work in religion is the best evangelistic campaign, the best way to win souls for Christ,” said Dr. Matthew F. Smith, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in his sermon Sunday morning. “A Christian cannot give the best in him to the world, leaving the fag end *o Christ, and .xpect good results,” said Dr. Smith. A call for 125 personal workers wis made by the pastor. The campaign will continue until Easter. The Men’s Club dinner, a “father and son” feast, will be held at 6 p. m. Friday night in the church basement. Earl R. Baker is in charge of the arrangements. HISTORY POINTS WAY The aim of H. G. Wells in writing his “Outline of History” was to throwlight on present-day conditions and not merely to record facts.” according to Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks, pastor of the All Souls Unitarian Church, in a sermon Sunday. “Wells would have Christianity unite mankind with faith,” said Dr. Wicks. “He describes the passing of power from parliaments and kings to the people. If the people are uneducated and use power ignorantly Wells shows that history will record the collapse of another great civilization.” CHRIST IS PILOT A plea for the acceptance of Jesus Christ as a pilot through life was sounded at the Cadle Tabernacle yesterday afternoon by Maj. Earle F. Hites, pastor. “You cannot afford to sail the uncharted seas without a pilot.” said Major Hites. “You will face ultimate shipwreck. Sin and pain are the results. The gospel of Jesus is the best medicine for one who is lost in uncertainty and doubt." Music for the service was furnished by the Gypsy Smith choir. Mrs. William E. Duthie played a twenty-min-ute organ recital. FAITH BRINGS POWER “The man who would do the impos sible must put liis faith in God,” said Rev. Frank L. Lewis, pastor of St. Paul s M. E. Church, in a sermon Sunday night on “Doing the Impossible.” “The world,” he said, “is made up of three classes of people: Those who choose the easy way always; those who choose the hard things to do and do much of the world's work and those who do that which seems impossible. These latter names have been written in history.” AVARICE DRAGON Temptation to use one's own ability for personal gain is the greatest dragon that mankind is called on to fight today, said the Rev. U. S. Clutton. pastor of the Tuxedo Baptist Church, in his sermon yesterday on ‘•Fighting the Dragon.” “The dragon of temptation Is to seek personal gain, personal power, honor and popularity, disdainful of the work God would have use do for others." Dr. Clutton asserted. RUSKIN SHOWS WAY "Ruskin has set out for us the -seven lamps of architecture and they are applicable to the building of character,” declared the Rev. N. S.

Recovers From La Grippe Cough

"Was very bad with La Grippe and had a severe cough. Tried Foley's Honey and Tar and it stopped my cough and I got better.” writes Mrs. Mary Kisby, Spokane. Wash. Coughs resulting from La Grippe. Influenza, Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Asthma and Spasmodic Croup are quickly relieved with Foley's Honey and Tar. Contains no opiates—ingredients printed on the wrapper, largest selling cough medicine in the World. Refuse substitutes. Insist on Foley’s Honey and Tar. Sold everywhere.— Advertisement.

Sichterman, pastor of the Grace Presbyterian Church, in a sermon last night on “The Seven Lamps of Character Building.” These seven lamps of character building are sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life, memory and obedience, he said. “We need each of them, well-developed, in great character.”

PROFESSOR IN PULPIT

Christianity as a disposition of the individual was the text of a sermon delivered Sunday by Dr. C. S. Gardner of Louisville, a professor of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. substituting for Dr. Frederick E. Taylor, pastor at the First Baptist Church. Dr. Robert J. Aley, president of Butler College, will speak tonight at the Brotherhood dinner on “Saint Paul.”

OPPORTUNITY EMPHASIZED

Men who succeed must avail themselves of immediate opportunities, said Merle Sidener, teacher of the Christian Men Builders, Inc., a young men’s class of the Third Christian Church, in a discussion of "1923 Prospects.” Progress during the w-ar, Sidener said, was due mainly to the necessity of the times and the fact that things were pushed on us.

NEW GOAL SET

A goal of 8,000 average total attendance In the Christian (Disciples of Christ) churches of the city for 1923 was announced yesterday in the Sunday schools. The average attendance in the Sunday schools In 1922 was 7,482 and the total offerings, $26,287.33. Average attendance in 1919 was 5,428.

CHRIST UNIVERSAL MAN

“Jesus Christ is the only universal man in all history,” said the Rev. J. P. Cowan, pastor of the Woodruff United Presbyterian Church, in his sermon Sunday on “The Universal Man.” “Christ is the one man to whom all knees can bow in reverence.” he said. “He was destined to be know-n among all the men of the world.”

GODS ’LOVE UNIVERSAL

Love of God as the universal privilege of mankind was the subject of a sermon delivered last night by the Rev. Orien W. Fifer, pastor of the Central Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Fifer will be in charge of the prayer service at a meeting Thursday night, at which Charles F. Coffin will speak.

MUST FEED SOUL

“We may die from spiritual as well as physical starvation.” said Dr. Virgil Thompson, conference secretary of the Evansville College, at the Boys’ Big Meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Sunday, talking on “The Chemistry of Manhood.” "The mind and soul of man must be fed as well as the body, to live.” he declared.

GOLDEN RULE GAINS

“Christianity has not failed, but It Is about to be discovered,” said the Rev. W. B. Farmer, pastor of the Btoadway M. E. Church. in a sermon Sunday on “Business by the Golden Rule.” More business is being done now by the Golden Rule than ever, he added.

SOUL-WINNER WISE

“The soul-winner is the wisest man in the world, because Jesus Christ has commanded that souls be won for Him,” said the Rev. Charles P. Martin, pastor of the Brookside United Brethren Church, in his sermon Sunday on “True Wisdom.”

ANCELS GUIDE

Divine guarding and guidance of God’s angels jg the greatest bodyguard one can have, declared the Rev. M. L. Scheidler, pastor of the Second Evangelical Church, in his sermon yesterday on “Guiding and Guarding Angels.”

Roast Beef Days in Merry England Revealed in Fairbanks’ Robin Hood ’

By WALTER D. HICKMAN DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS in “Robin Hood” has turned out the best movie I have ever seen. Watch your words, you say. lam and I have thought over what I am going to say for days as I saw “Robin Hood” at a private showing before its Indiana opening at the Circle yesterday. “Robin Hood” is better than I hoped for. This picture renews my faith in American-made movies.

-I- I- -IP.OMANCE of the days when knights were bold and kings went on long trips to the holy lands is revealed

in this Fairbanks movie. It is perfumed with as sweet a love story as one could dream. It Is filled with such romantic characters as Friar Tuck, Alan-a-D ale, Robin Hood, Little John, King Richard, known as the Lion Hearted, and many others. It basks under the sunlight of marvelous photography and expert direction. It places Doug Fair-

banks at the very top of the vast army of movie entertainers. It leaves no doubt in your mind that the best picture ever produced was made right here In our own land. I do not intend to mince words in discussing “Robin Hood.” I think it is the best picture ever filmed, and I am not for getting D. W. Griffith’s "The Birth of a Nation.” Up to the time that I witnessed “Robin Hood,” I placed the Griffith movie on the throne In my own mental movie room. Now. the Griffith movie has been made a lord chamberlain and the new “king” Is ; Doug Fairbanks in “Robin Hood.” -I- -I- ISTORYLAND comes to life in the Fairbanks movie. The beauty of the old days in England 800 years ago lives again. The cream of romantic literature has been photographed. As you witness the adventures of Fairbanks, first as the Earl of Huntingdon and later as Robin Hood, the leader of a merry band of outlaws who are virgins compared to the gang that Prince John had around him, that wonderful glow of complete satisfaction comes over you. If you have forgotten the days when you knelt at your mother’s knee and listened to the reading or “Robin Hood,” then this movie will bring back those days. Remember that none of us are too old or two important to recall the memories of the days when we dreamed of bold knights and a lady fair. People who are howling for better movies will do well to study this movie. Ralph Lleber. manager of the Circle, told me that yesterday his theater broke all records in face of fad weather. This picture has cost fortunes and it deserves a packed theater at every performance. -!- -|- -IPARDON ME. hut T can’t find words enough to praise this picture. I am going to outline the things which appealed to me the most. Here they are: The marvelous acting of Wallace Beery as King Richard I; the marvelously haunting beauty of the castle scenes as well as the forest where Robin Hood and his merry men gathered; the regal beauty and fine acting of Enid Bennett as Lady Marian; the Red glow of romance which runs through the entire picture; the Crusade scenes; the really wonderful tournament; the striking work of Fairbanks In every scene and hundreds of other things I could mention. Thousands of people have been used to relate this wonderfully ro-

GEORGE LOUDEN, Grocer, 530 Marion Ave. says: "Some time ago my kidneys got out of fix and I had a dull aching across the small of my back. When I stooped, sharp catches took me over my kidneys and I could hardly straighten. My kidneys acted too freely at night. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills from Wlther's Drug Store and they strengthened my back and kidneys and rid me of the backache.”

The great day In movleland has arrived and that day was when “Robin Hood” was first revealed to an audience. -I- !- -IThe regular Fairbanks habits of thrilling one are used In “Robin Hood.” He fights In close quarters; he fights downs at a time.

J. -ITo Cry or Not to Cry, | That's the Big Question Here is a tip. When you go to the Apollo this w eek take a handkerchief with you because the lady next to you may send you an S. O. S. The signal means "Please give me another handkerchief, mine Is full of tears.” Some people have a grand time when they are crying. That William Fox knows and that is the reason he ordered "Who Are My Parents?” made Into a movie. And cry they do on seeing this movie. Every one was crying around

me. I heard grasps of "Oh, It Is too sweet for words” and “Bertha, have you another handkerchief.” Everybody seemed to have a fine time. So why should I kick. The whole affair was comedy to me. (Isn’t he a hard hearted brute?” I am not going to poke fun at a picture that can move people to tears and cause every one to be sweet and red-eyed. I have to admit that a picture which can sway the emotions lias real power whether It coir.es up to my idea of a good movie. I am not the most wise person on earth and I will take my hat off to the movie producer who can make people shed a tear or two these days. I heard people all around me express satisfaction at “Who Are My Parents?” I think the general appeal of this movie rests In the children. A fine bunch of youngsters are used in this picture. These kiddies will get right into your heart. When they cry, well I’ll yvager you that you will cry or kick yourself to keep from crying. The story Is far fetched and not too clearly developed, but your interest will center upon the children. The lesson seems to be that if there are no children In a home you are sure to find one at an orphanage.
