ALL CEOS WERE BUILT BY THE LABORATORY WAY Dr, Kistler Preaches Powerful Sermon on Vital Problem, “To protest against creeds, as an arrogant assumption of being a depository of truth, charged with the duty of telling others what to believe, is more arrogant than the creed,” Dr. Edward Haines Kistler said Sunday at the Fairview Presbyterian Church. “Such assertion of individualism.” Dr. Kistler said, “merely states that it is perfectly able to ‘go it alone,’ and that the experiences of the ages can teach such a mind little. “Or. to protest against creeds as merely ‘man made,' and to assert that the ‘Bible is creed any one,' neglects a perfectly well-known fact, that people read the Bible through the spectacles of their own daily round'of living, their reading, their associations. Such folk, in spite of their assertion, make evident their eredal Bible-reading in their insistence on but one form of baptism, for instance. In spite of their protest, there at least is a part of their cree<J. "Now, a creed is merely a formal statement of conviction concerning existing facts and their interrelationships. To form a religious creed merely means that one would be scientific about the facts of human personality; as scientific, indeed, as one would be about the facts of the material universe, “A creed demands open-minded-ness. a revision of statement in light of newer facts, a high intelligence in determining underlying causes, methods, resultants; it is the highest attempt men can make to formulate their apprehension of truth, simply because its material is not physical only, but includes all the deeper phases of psychology and the. as yet. little known forces of spiritual being. “As much as any scientific investigation, it demands a spirit of common sense, the historical perspective, a scholarly openness of mind toward all varieties of human experience, an unpriestly dislike of mystery and circumstance. We Uve by Creeds “You will not live by creeds? It is daily done. At market, you live by the creed —definitely formulated, and with scientific precision—of weights, measures and coin exchange. The formulae of physics in all engineering are its creeds; of chemistry, its creeds. You refrain from something you wish to do, because of Mrs. Grundy's creed; you engage in wedlock, or not, according to the creed of intermarriage between races, or classes, or. groups. You live by the creed of brain normalcy, and avoid personal entanglement with the moron and degenerate. “In business, the creed of your articles of agreement and contracts binds you; and in politics you bind yourself to the spirit, at least, of your party creed as your platform declares it. Asa canon in law, the creed against speeders occasionally becomes active: and all law is society's creed on human living. “Even where little knowledge exists, as in evolution, you guide yoursalf by the creed of a scientific ‘consensus of opinion.’ Demand no creed in religion? Do you want to keep it forever unintelligent and superstitious? “Why not frankly say that your objection is not to creeds, but to the formulations the creeds have made, and so object to thinking of Jesus as being of an order as much higher than human kind as is God Himself? Or, that you do not want men to think at all of God. except as the impersonal force or principle you want Him to be? Malting Creeds “Creeds were built by the laboratory method alone. Each bears the marks of its birthplace and birth-time. Many were the work of outlawed, hunted men, sealed with martyr-blood. “The more you insist that human nature is unchangeable, the more must we insist on the validity of its experiences through the ages, in stating scientifically how men have found God, a Saviour, the way to a different form of life, the purpose that eventuates in service, the solution of the problems of pain and of evil. "Even may we insist that the projection of stlch determined lines into the future and toward God validates eredal insistence on Heaven and Kell, God eternal and souls immortal. "One thing more. Gloriously necessary as creeds are,-they need not be understood in order to be carried into effect. Your ignorant man car. use the understanding of wiser folk, and catch on his radio set the worship in Pittsburgh and the orchestration by the Pacific, as well as can • they. And yet inquiring minds will pursue the secret of the radip until they find. All glory to them| all service for all,” Dr. Kistler said.

Ishmin and Peters wife, Dorothy, had urged him to go to Soutik. America. 110 joins Big Chris Larson in response to a distress signal at sea. giving Larson his sea jacket. Their launch hits rocks. I,.arson s body is buried as New hall s. Peter, rescued, finds injuries have completely changed his appearance. Dorothy and Ishmin go to Alaska to return Peter's body. They do not recognize Peter in their head guide. A storm strands them at. the grave. “Change name. a. message from a seance, Dorothy believes to be from Peter, telling her to accept Ishmin s marriage proposal. They are married by a native priest. Peter gives them best wishes. Paul Sariehef appears on the scene. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY oX /' knew I was here. Os Y course the squaw described me, and you guessed who I was?” No. You know I wouldn’t have come if I'd known that, if I'd known it wfts you. I don't know why I came—except it was just because I couldn't help it—” Ivan's vivid eyes opened wide, then the lids dropped again. “Out with it, man! You’ve cooked your goose and have done all the damage you can. Is it blackmail? If not, what arc you doing here?” Sariehef straightened and sighed. “I was living on the other side of the Peninsula. You knew that—and a few nights ago—l heard someone call me—some one told me to come here—” “You’ve good ears to hear across the Peninsula!” “I don’t expect you to understand,” Sariehef returned with some dignity. “I’m trying to cell you—just how it was. A few nights ago I got the idea that someone wanted me—here —that someone was calling me. It came just as clear as an actual voice. I tried to turn away and disregard it, hut somehow I couldn't. ‘Paul Sariehef! Paul Sarichef!’ the voice kept crying—and it told me to come here, to this very spot. You know how a man obeys a hunch. That’s what it was I guess—a hunch —but I couldn’t disregard it.” The grim smile flickered at Ivan’s

mouth again. “How many nights ago was this?” “Four nights ago. I started the next morning, and half away across I met £ Sindy, with her back loaded with grub. She told me there were people here, needing help, and I offered to carry her pack on over and let her go back.” “Four nights ago!" Ivan turned and met. the girl’s fixed, startled gaze. “Dorothy, do you remember what happened four nights ago?” FOR A SINGLE INSTANT IVAN HELD HER HELPLESS. “The seance!” the girl dillly answered. , “The seance! You haven’t forgotten, have you, that you asked to speak to Paul Sariehef—and that Fortune Joe called him? You remember how all of us felt the tension as he broadcasted that, silent call? SariGhef was nob in the spirit world, but he answered just ' the same. He came, and he doesn’t know why. Was it hypnotism or some other occult thing, or was it just blackmail" —who can say?” But the' wonder of this mystery could not Jong obscure the real issues that faced this baffled trio in the fire’s glow.

Pete watched the slow unfolding of the drama. CHAPTER XtX The “Dead” Has Risen Ivan turned abruptly from Sarichef, and smiling faintly in appeal, stepped in front of Dorothy. Her wide-open eyes fixed on his thin, stark-white face; but her expression did not change, and she was so baffled and estranged by what had occurred that at first she seemed hardly aware of him. He reached for her hands, but she put them away from him. “Don’t draw away,” he urged quickly. He spoke softly now, for her ears alone. "Dearest, you must forgive me.” “I can’t forgive you.” was hei* subdued answer. She spoke without inflection, almost in that muttered monotone with which one talks in sleep. ! "You must. It’s the only possible course. You must realize that. I don’t expect you to forget right away —even to vindicate me until I’ve at least won you to my point of view—but you must forgi\e. Don’t you see it was all for you? “I am aware that I charged Peter with a crime he didn’t and I caused him to flee, and that While he was gone lie died. But Dorothy, this world is of the living. When people are dead they cease to be so far as the living world is concerned. You have found happiness in me; don’t lose it again for an evil done long ago. Don’t let the dead past shadow the living present. “Every map does wicked deeds, only mest of them don’t get caught. Many and many a man wants to do wicked deeds that he doesn’t dare to and gain his ends. Other have loved you,_and have wished desperately that Peter would die and leave you free—but they haven’t loved you enough—they didn’t have the courage to make their wish ccme true. You know your Christian teaching—that there is no distinction drawn between him who wants to do evil and him who really does it. The thing I did many men would have been glad to do, if they had dared* to take the risk.” He paused, and the girl started to turn away. Ivan held her gently, his hands at her arms just below her

shoulders. “I don’t want to talk about it." she told him. "But you must hear me. Dorothy. I wanted you. and I had to have you. I loved you enough to risk my repu tation to do evil to a respected friend, in order to win you. Don't you realize that this showed a love if which your Anglo-Saxon men would lie wholly incapable? Poor Peter was The victim—hot he has gone now, and you must seek your happiness in me. your husband!” “My husband!” the girl echoed, as if the thought were incredible to her. “Yes. You are my wife. You don’t owe any more loyalty to Peter—only to me. When you married me you took me for better for worse—and thatVmeans you take my past crimes on your head. You share everything with me, and'that means you share my past, too. It will go hard at first, and you will be bitter; but I want you to put it out of your mind. You’ve got to be my partner now, even in my evil deeds Dorothy, I want you to respect, rather than scorn that quality of unconquerable purpose in me that won’t let me forego the things that I want; and particularly I want you to remember that it was all for you. The thing is closed and done, part of the dead past; and I want you to put it out of your mind.” The girl straightened and sighed. “I wish you'd go away,” she said dully. “I can’t forget it, and never can, and I can’t forgive it. Everything Is over between is. Now let me go—l’m going into my tent.” His hand pressed more tightly at her shoulders, and he looked meaningly into her eyes'. “Into our tent,” he corrected easily. The girl shook her head; but her expression did not change. “No I renounce our marriage. My door is closed to you forever.’ At this point her slim body straightened, and her voice—though it did not increase in volume —took on a hushed, unmistakable tone of emphasis. "Understand everything clearly, Ivan, now as well as later. I don’t consider myself your wife from now* on. I’m going to my tent—you must go to yours. Your hands have no longer any right to hold me. Tomorrow the guides and I will go away in the dory, in search for the settlements. If you want to come you may, but it won't be as my husband, and you must never appear in the United States again. You’ve asked me to choose between my husband’s honor and you, my husband’s murderer. I don’t see how r you can wonder at my answer. When I get home I will tell the whole truth and try to clear Peter’s name, and take the smirch off his memory.”
OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS
At this point she paused, faltering; and for one brief instant she did not know* the cause of the sudden wind of terror that blew through her being, closing her throat and choking back her brave words. In that instant Ivan's attitude had changed. Outwardly there was little sign; possibly certain lines deepened on his white face and his vivid eyes looked dull red, like glowing, dying coals, under his fine brows. A wan smile, determined rather than cruel, curled at his lips. It was not that he had misunderstood her words. He was not such a fool as to think this merely a burst of temporary indignation, soon to pass away. Dorothy had meant exactly what she said. Yet her opposition only made her more desirable to him, heightened the fire of his madness. His stroftg arms went about her and he pressed his lips to hers. Pavlof. who watched from the mouth of the dugout. grunted softly, as if in reflection of his master’s passion. Pete made one uneasy move in the shadows, but he was not yet sure of his course, and preparations were not yet complete, so he paused, waiting for what might befall. Dorothy struggled in a sudden frency of hate and scorn, as if the kiss had ravished her integrity. For a single instant Ivan held her helpless—just j long enough to show her he was her master —then he let her go. “Oh!” she breathed. “You wouldn't dare ” She halted "because she was afraid Why They’re Using Joint-Ease for Burning Feet Just because It is now known that painful, sore, aching, swollen feet are caused by the many joints in the foot Slid Joint-Ease soaks right in and gets to the seat of the trouble—the cartilage and ligaments of the joints And to think that for generations we have been powdering and soaking our feet, thinking the trouble was only skin deep—an old-fasihoueJ idea.

to go on. Ivan was fully wakened now. He was shaking off the last vestiges of his conventionality as a dog shakes off water, and with It went the veneer that western civilization had bestowed upon him. This rock-ribbed waste of barrens besida the sea had always possessed a deep, stirring appeal for him, and tonight he yielded to it as never before. It called to his deeply hidden primitive side, and what was left him, there in the weird firelight, was altogether; Asia. The racial differences she had seen in him had been vague and of not great importance before; but now they estranged her and terified .her* (Continued in Our Next BROADCASTS NAME OF, GREAT HEALTH TONIC Arthur Vincel Wants Everybody lr> Indianapolis To Know Os Wonderful Benefits He Received Taking Todd’s Tonic, Which Has The Strength Building Qualities Os Rare Old Wine. “There were aches ans pains continually in my limbs.
