PASTOR SAYS THAT SWEDENBORG WAS ’ RELIGIOUSMYSTIC Or, Brown in Sermon Sunday Outlines Chief Claims of Great Scientist. “Emanuel Swedenborg was the greatest religious mystic of his age,” Dr. Lewis Brown contended in a sermon Sunday night at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. “George Fox, the Qulfeer, saw visions, but Swedenborg came to hie visions through years of cultured study,” Dr. Brown said. "Before h. put forth his astonishing views, ht was the leading scientist of Europe. He left behind attainments in the physical sciences to promulgate anew theory of religion. He was born in Upsala, Sweden, in 1698 and died in 1773. He was a trusted companion and counsellor of Charles XII of Sweden, but later had friendships with many other monarchs, nobles and men of repute throughout Europe. “He was an authority on mines, mining and engineering. A great English authority upon diseases of the mind claimed that the early Immersion in science unsettled Swedent fcorg’s mind and caused his halluctnaPttons. ' Swedenborg Claimed Visitations From the Lord “At the age of '64, Swedenborg claimed the first visitation from the Lord and held Its ~ subsequent repetition throughout life. His philosophy of religion Is coupled with system and embodies exhausting details. “Goodness presaged heaven and hell. The future is due entirely to choice. Swedenborg claims. We make our place eternally here and now. Everything visible Indicates something parallel in the other world. Flowers, earth, mountains, planets are but symbols for us to study and derive celestial knowledge through. The little explains the large and the large the little. The body is merely the telescope of heaven. Asa man thinks, so he Is. Draws Lessons from Teachings of Swedenborg "Swedenborg never married. He was gentle in bearing and modest In demeanor. His followers have emphasized goodness and truth as elements of surpassing worth In religious discipleship. The beauty of their lives has strengthened the worth of their doctrines. “The works of the great philosopher have been published by thousands and have dene much to familiarize people of every' faith with his -views,” Dr. Brown said. This sermon is one of a series on the different faiths which Dr. Brown Is preaching on Sunday nights. "TRAITOROUS ALLIANCE”

Bootlegger, Smuggler and Drinker Join Hands, Pastor Says. A review of the citizenship conference two weeks ago in Washington was given Sunday night at the Central Ave. Methodist Church by the Rev. Orien W. Fifef. pastor, who was a delegate from Indianapolis. "President Coolidge's presence was significant,”, said the pastor. "The proceedings concerning prohibition and enforcement of law cannot be ignored. who agitate for repeal and modification are clearly within their rights and should be treated with respect; but it is evident that the bootlegger, the smuggler and the moonshiner and the persons who patronize them have joined in a traitorous alliance to destroy theamendment which was adopted by greater unaniminity of States than any other amendment in 100 years.” RECORD ATTENDANCE Christian Sunday Schools Have 7,000 in Attendance. The attendance mark for the corresponding Sunday of any previous year was set Sunday by the Christian Sunday schools of Indianapolis, reporting a total of more than 7,000 people. Church attendance: Third. 1,124; *421; North, 358; Centenary, 338; Olive Branch, 307; West Park, 307. Largest classes: Women’s class at the Third Christian, 211; Girls’ Federation at the Third Church, 185; Opportunity class at Englewood, 154; Christian Men Builders of the Third Church, 152; men’s class at the Central Christian, 125; women's Bible class at the Central Church. 100, ar.d Noble Bereans at the Englewood Church, 59. BIBLE CONFERENCES * Pennsylvania Pastor Arrives to Make Advance Arrangements. Preliminary plans for a series of Bible and missionary conferences in Indianapolis are under way following the arrival of the Rev. Robert J. Wilson, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Rochester, Pa. Indianapolis is one of thirty-five cities in the country named for these conferences, and the Rev. Mr. Wilson will spend a month in preparation. % SKEPTICS ARE SCORNED Boston Preacher Wouldn’t Give 10 Cents for Geology Course Again. "There are a few' avowed apostles of Tom Paine or Qngersoll. God have mercy on any collegiate crowd that doesn’t have anything but brickbats. I wouldn’t give 10 cents for a geology course again. I may be ignorant, but [ I have an experience that tells me Christ died for me. The deep things of God spiritually are not confined to the intellectuals,” declared Dr. Guy Wilson, Boston, at the Cadle Tabernacle Sunday afternoon. BARTH PLACE HOLDS REVIVAL The Rev. Charles Fenwick Reed launches Evangelistic Campaign. An evangelistic campaign at Barth Place M. E. Crmrch was launched Sunday by the Rev. Charles Fenwick

Zip and Dash of Pre-War Days in Vienna 'Depicted in “Merry-Go-Round” Movie

BY WALTEh D. HICKMAN a j- — JIERRY-GO-ROUND.” nyi We all know that such a 1 1V *I vehicle exists in amusement parks and at Coney Island. It remained for Rupert Julian to direct a movie under the title of “The Merry-Go-Round," which is a symbol that we all ride on life’s merry-go-round and that Fate Is the conductor. I approach any consideration of this film with the knowledge that it is going to be the most discussed

photoplay of the week. It has a continental flavor. We are not accustomed In America of seeing our men of fashion and of power playing tag with a dog in their bedrooms, let alone the sight of seeing the man eating his breakfast while tithing in a bath tul. Oh, it is continental to the nth dagree. This movie opens up anew world to most of us. It

CESAR& - GRAVINA

paints with much coloring what one would expect might happen in Vienna during the last years of Emperor Franz Joseph. From a scenic standpoint it Is a mountain of ‘he picture. I am greatly interested in the mechanics of this picture. It cost many fortune to produce it. The story has been told many times before, but it is the treatment of the theme which holds the interest. It reminds one a little of “Liliom” because some of the chief characters are found In the Prater, one of the gayest amusement parks In pre-war Vienna. It Isn’t the story which will command two hours of your attention, but it is the gorgeous and marvelous manner in which Rupert Julian had produced and directed it.

This Movie Gives Mary Philbin Her Big Change “The Merry-Go-Round” gives Mary Philbin her biggest opportunity to show the dramatic stuff which is In her. There may be those who will contend that she has been overdirected. I cannot agree with that because she seems to have caught the spirit of Agnes Urban, a good little organ grinder of the merry-go-round. She was as good as she was pretty. That was the reason that a rich count of the court and others attempted to make her bad. but they failed. Miss Philbin, according to my way of thinking, makes Agnes the hunted creature which the story intended. In her mental conflicts between right and wrong, she registers with wonderful effect. Cesare Gravina does realistic work as the father of Agues. George Hackathorne (you will never forget his Reed. Three meetings were conducted Sunday. A special men’s meeting featured the Sunday afternoon program. He will preach each night this week. CONSTITUTION BREAKERS “They're Not American,” Baptist Pastor Declares. Constitution breakers are not Americans, declared Dr. L. C. Trent, pastor of the Woodruff Place Baptist Church, before the men’s Bible class Sunday morning. J’Our Constitution is our most priceless heritage, and the eighteenth amendment is as much a part of this Constitution as the first article,” said Dr. Trent. EPWORTH LEAGUE RALLY Indianapolis District Will Meet at Franklin Wednesday. The Indianapolis district of Epworth Leagues will hold a rally in the Methodist Episcopal Church of Franklin Wednesday. More than 760 persons from Indianapolis are expected to attend. Miss Mary A. Rosengrant of Chicago, representing the central Epworth League offices, will speak. CHURCH’S SPIRITUAL VALUE The church must be made a place where morality is capitalized for God and the community, the Rev. M. B. Hyde, pastor of the Grace M. E. Church, said Sunday. The spiritual value of the church is essential to mankind today, he said. REVIVAL’S CLOSING WEEK Jesus Christ must come into a man’s life before sin can be cured, the Rev. Earle F. Hites, evangelist, said Sunday at the First Church. The Rev. Hites has started the closing week of his revival campaign. He is assisted by the Rev. Tercy James, singing evangelist.

Why Endure That Aching Back? Do You Have Constant Backache? Feel Old and Lame and Suffer Sharp, Rheumatic Pains? Then Follow the Advice of These Indianapolis Folks.

IS that dull, never-ceasing backache making you miserable? Are you lame, stiff and achy; tortured with sharp, rheumatic twinges? Does autumn find you tired, nervous and depressed—lackfor tasks that onoe seemed so easy? Then why put up with these troubles? Why continue to let yourself feel so wornout and miserable? Why not look to your kidneys as so many Indianapolis folks have done. The kidneys are the blood-filters. Without them you could not live a single day.

“Use Doan’s, ” Say These Indianapolis Folks:

F. M. DOWN, Painter, 826 Prospect SL, says: "My kidneys broke down several years ago and I had dull, nagging backaches and pains across my kidneys. It was hard for me too stoop or straighten and my kidneys were disordered. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they fixed me up. The aches and pains left and my kidneys acted regularly.”

“The Bad man” on the stage, as Holbrook Blinn passed up this city. The screen makes it possible for us to see Blinn in the original bad man role. The screen version of this comedy-melodrama is on' view this

week at the Circle. “T h e Bad Man” relies upon the quiet and expressive acting of Blinn and some splendid sub-titles to put the movie \)ver with telling effect. "The Bad Man” depends upon Its lines to make it interesting, and “lines” are difficult to film. I would dread to see any one but Blinn in the title role in a film version of this successful

v play. Blinn knows when and how to act. He has only to lift his eyebrows and the whole house laughs. He looks at one of the women and you will chuckle some more. Blinn brings legitimate, not movie, methods to the screen. You will see splendid work when you visit the Circle this week. “The Bad Man” might be rank melodrama, but It Isn’t. Every' time It attempts .o. become "mellow,” Blinn comes arou id with a strange' theory and knocks it up the stairs until It lands In the realm of polite comedy.

They do not succeed at once, but form a the canal. • Agents of a foreign country enter net of intrigue around Decatur, who demonstrates his ability to- protect his country’s interests. The pictures taken at the Canal Zone emphasizes the importance of the canal to the welfare of America. The action throughout is realistic and the spirit of the navy is felt to be a real and potent factor In America’s greatness. This Is & fitting photoplay for the observance of the official United States Navy week. The story of the play is interesting on its own account. It concerns the life and honor of Captain Decatur, and the interests of his wife and two children and of his father-in-law, an admiral in the service. The cast is a good one, and includes, in addition to Lowe, Alma Tell, Betty Jewel, Martha Mansfield, -Gprdon McEdwards, Theodore Babcock, Florence Martin, Mary Foley, George Lessey, Warren Cook, Byron Douglass, Henry Armette', Rogers Keene, J.

The rihme is a quotation from the Bible. It is the story of the efforts of a girl to reclaim a man in whom no others have confidence. It is not a story heavy with a lesson and a moral, but a mirror reflecting human character in an unusual situation. The man is charged with murder, and has fled to a little town where he t#les to forget his troubles in the saloon. Then comes a pre-prohibition problem and the help of a girl who loves him. / When all the other villagers shun him, she tells him that there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety and nine righteous persons. His regeneration is completed, however. when he admits that he is the fugitive and drives an engine through a blazing forest to save the townspeople who are trapped by the flames. This Is one of the biggest scenes of the play and is very realistic. Colleen Moore is cast as the village girl and Warner Baxter. Arthur Jas

mlne, May Young and Gertrude Astor are in the supporting cast. Interesting and entertaining, with a big thrill.
