CHURCH SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY LIVES OFMEMBERS Wicks Says Happiness Is Perfume That Clings to Character, “A church can not consider itself successful unless it can see in the lives of its members the fruits of character,” Dr. Frank S. C. W icks said Sunday at All Souls Unitarian Church. Yesterday’s services marked the close of the summer preaching services until September at AH Souls. The Wednesday evening group will continue to n:eet v as usual, on the lawn or within doors, de pending upon the weather. ‘‘lf we are more of men and women,” Dr. Wicks said, “because of what the church has done for us: if we are more erect in integrity: stmighter in our more helpful in our l&-es: more temperate in our habits; more generous in sharing with others what has come to us then our church has been of real value. This means that we are living fuller and happier lives. Happiness is the perfume that clings to the fruits of character. “Our church should make us better thinkers, arousing us from mental torpor, quickening all, our intellectual processes. In an age of standardization, where pressure is for all to think alike, act alike, dress alike: where dissent is persecuted; where the individual is swallowed up by the multitude; where efficiency must be secured even if men are made into machines, this church stands for the development of individuality. We insist that each one must think for himself. Cultivate Tolerance “This means that we have cultivated tolerance; we have tried to smother rising passion and prejudice when we heard our opinions contradicted. We look to the sincerity of a man's opinions rather than to their agreement with ours. “We look as well for the fruit of faith; faith, first in yourselves; faith in your fellows; faith in the integrity of the universe, with the unfailing operation of its laws. We must rescue that word faith from its misuse. Too often it. has meant credulity,, unreasoning belief. “This faith must prove itself in works. You have not been deaf to a single appeal I have made this year. Through the community fund your benSficenee has sought many channels: you have brought sunshine and cheer to the Home for the Aged and Altenheim; little children will soon walk with straightened limbp because of what you have given to the Riley Hospital; you have entered homes of suffering through the Public Health Nursing Association; you have answered the prayers of little children In foreign lands, ‘Give us this day our daily bread;’ you have obeyed Jesus, ’lf thine enemy hunger, feed him.’ “And you have done none of these things With the thought you would be rewarded in heaven.” Pr. Wicks • said. CHRIST GREATEST DOCTOR Rev. Henninger Preaches on Constant Willingness to Serve. The world’s greatest general practitioner was Jesus Christ, the Rev. George S. Henninger, pastor of the East Tenth Street M. E. Church, said Sunday night in his sermon on “The Doctor.” “The country doctor knows no night too dark or cold or stormy. With Christ it is the same. He meets every man upon the level of his deepest needs.”

England and other Christian nations can prove Christianity helps them solve their problems, missionaries wijl have a hard time in China, M. Ray Sweetman, missionary and T. M. C. A. worker in China, said Sunday in a sermon at the Downey Avenue Christian Church. SUNDAY RESPECT URGED Proper Regard for Day Will Not Come Thi-ough Legislation.

Philputt, pastor of Central Christian Church, said in his sermon Sunday that proper respect of the day can come S.S.S. stops Rheumatism Y Rheumatism is all gone.

1 T occurs to me that, for reaT I sons which should be obvious * ) enough, it will be as well if, .n these memoirs of mine, I refrain .’rom attempting to set forth my adventures in their chronological order. All policemen are not fools; It 1 should trace, with too great exactitude, my various movements, dormant suspicions would become wakeful. Moreover, it is not my intention to publish all my adventuress. 1 prefer rather to confine myself to those incidents which have in them something of the unusual. In presenting the history of an artist, one does not deem it essential to relate where he purchased his brushes. And I am an artist. Behold me, then, seated at a table on the terrace of the Case de Paris, sipping my coffee. It was the atrocious decoction, rather, which the French call coffee. It is, this coffee, the only blemish upon an otherwise charming people. And I will confess, with what hesitation may seem suitable'to the prejudices of the'day, that I had mitigated its bitterness with some fine champagne. Moreover, I had dined at Ciro’s, and nothing could efface the memory of that marvelous repast. The air was balmy. The tables were crowded. It seemed as if all the world had 'run away from his wife and brought his sweetheart here For there was an air of ex citement, of careless gayety, that nfortunatoly is not too closely associated with respectable domesticity. I could hear every tongue, save German, spoken; and I strongly suspected that the guttural French essayed by certain ostensible Swiss had been learned in Berlin.* For though the German is not given, even at this time in the world's his lory, to denying his nationality. Monte Carla is worthy a transient ’reason. For a moment I felt lonely. I wished that I, too, were accompanied by a charming lady into whose ears I could whisper soft flatteries, and into whose hands, later on, I could

press the inlaid plaque wherewith ne stakes at roulette or chemln de or. But I pht the thought from >ner The artist in crime must b( like Kipling’s cat; he walks alone. And in moments such as these, when I realise that certain things are denied me, I seek for change for relaxation. And before me, outlined in eiectric lights, and shone cynically upon by the scornful stars above, loomed the great bulk of the Casino. Excitement was not far to seek. I raised my finger; my waiter came to my side and presented the small bill. “Monsieur play 9?” he smiled. “One feels gratitude to the authors of these glorious surroundings," I told him. “One does not play; one enters the Casino and pays for the privilege of being here." The waiter's smile was swiftly sympathetic. "Monsieur is unfortunate?” I shrugged. “Does any one ever win here?” I asked. “Ah, yes, monsieur. The good luck smiles on many,” he assured me. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” I retorted. “Then monsieur would be well advised if he watched the play of the Baronne d'Esterelle this evening. Her luck has been phenomenal for the week. I know, for one of my cousins is a croupier, and he has told me. If monsieur will note the lady, at the second tahle to the right, he will see her.” I followed the direction of his glance. Os course the Baronne d’Esterelle would be fortunate at games of chance. God had given her neither beauty nor charm; she was a grossly overfed woman, who radiated vulgarity; I suppose it ’is only such persons, devoid of all other gifts, should be lucky. I felt an instant desire to relieve her of some of .the priceless baubles that, beautiful in themselves, pitilessly contrasted with her own ugliness.

"So the little god smijes on her!” I said to the waiter. “Luck, like love, is blind, monsieur,” he replied. I like the French. Even their lower classes are deft of speech. J looked at him. "You recommerid the Baronne’s good fortune to me, and yet that fortune does not seem to please you.” Had w’e, been anywhere else, I think he would have spat upon the ground. “I gave two sons to France, monsieur,” he said. “The Baronne gave none. Her sons were occupied in the production of munitions. .France has her profiteers, monsieur. Those jewels which she wears were bought with money made in the war. Ah. well, she has one jewel less than she had last week. The luck frowns even as it smiies.” “She lost a jewel?” I asked.
THE WIFE WAS FRANTIC IN HER PLEADING. v He spread his palms and pursed his lips. “Who know's? Monsieur does not read French, perhaps. Our newspapers printed much about the Baronne’s pearl necklace. She wore it one night at the Casino. She went back to her hotel without it. The papers say that detectives from Paris are investigating the matter. The clasp may have become unfastened; it may have dropped to the floor. But Monsieur is aware that strange people come to Monte Carlo. Bonne chance, monsier!” I tipped him and with my coat over my arms I strolled across the square to the Casino. And as I walked, I frowned. As the waiter had said, strange people came to Monte Carlo. I would ’ike to meet that strange one who ha I taken the Baronne’s necklace. It took genius

to abstract a necklace from a woman’s throat in the halls of the Casino. And I was grateful to the garrulous little waiter. I had como to the Riviera for rest, with no intention of practicing my profession. Now, forewarned, I would not, no matter what the temptation, per mit my holiday to lie infringed upon by business. The Parisian detectives have brains. Still, as I checked my hat and coat and sauntered through the cuter rooms into the Cercle Prive. the more exclusive salons, and beheld the precious stones that gleamed from the throats and arms and hair >f the women here, I could understand that not even the Casino’s force of detectives, or the importaions from Paris, could deter atempts at theft. Also, I speculated on the difficulties that might be involved in a raid upon the cash of the Casino itself. But that was ,iob for an organization. And I, as I have said before, walk alone. I went to a booth and exchanged half a dozen mille notes for chips. Then I slipped into a vacant seat at one of the tables, glanced at a card kept by the man next to me, saw that red had been turning up with great frequency, decided that it was black’s turn, and began backing up my judgment. I had made three successful coups, when an exclamation from my left-hand neighbor made me turn and look at her. She was well worth the glance I gave her. I have seen few lovelier women than this young American—she was patently that—who sat beside me. Black hair and blue eyes lent to her an exotic air that was enhanced by the olive hue of her skin. I judged that in her ancestry might be found some grandee of old Spain. She was dressed prettily, but not nearly as expensively as most of the other women present. And she wore no jewelry, whatsoever, save a narrow gold wedding-ring. Nevertheless, she was the most striking-looking woman in the room. But it was not her beauty alone that made me stare at her. It was the expression of despair upon her face. Her exclamation had been one of almost hysterical dismay. Beyond her sat a youth of 25, good-looking, with that fresh complexion so common to the English. His color was more florid just now than usual, T imagined. For he was crimson with embarrassment at his wife’s cry. As I looked, he placed a hand upon her wrist. It was this action that made me assume they were husband and wife. “Don’t, Margaret,*’ he said to her. “We’ll get it back in a moment.” As he spoke, he placed plaques aggre-

His huge nose, mottled skin and pouched eyes told of a man who knew no restraint upon his desires. He leaned over now. “But what does it matter. Mrs. Beresford?” His accent told me that he was Russian. “It matters tremendously,” she replied angrily. And then the croupier droned his cry as the little ball settled into Number Eleven-^ ‘Onze, impair, nolr et manque.” Eleven, odd, black, and the first eighteen. His cry was music to my ears, for I had staked two thousand on the black. But as I reached for my winnings, I wished that red had come. For I was near neighbor to one of those all-too-common tragedies on Monte Carlo, the proofs of which are to be found in the defalcations, forgeries and embezzlements that fill the Continental papers, and in the hushed-up fcuicides of the cliffs. m “How can it matter?” demanded the Russian. "I am here, and I have money.” She flashed a look of scorn at him. I could read the little story as easily as if it were set before my eyes in print. I have seen too many elderly gentlemen befriending young wives. She rose from her seat. “Come Jack.” she said.
