CHURCH OF LIVING > GOD EXISTS FOR ALL IHE PEOPLE Dr, Wicks in Sermon Shows Meaning of True Religion, "We need not fear the death of religion,” Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks 6aid Sunday at All Souls Unitarian Church while speaking on “The Church of the Living God.” “We may fear private ownership.” Dr. Wicks said. “I believe in the private ownership of individually created wealth, but the treasures of religion should be common property. "It may be advisable, a while longer, to keep our water supply out of the maw of politicians, but the attempt to make the water of life the monopoly of a sect means the deprivation of those who cannot pay the price demanded by the sect. "You cannot kill the church of the living God, for its life is eternal. It is hard to kill the church of a dying God, foe it has the persistence of a petrifaction. It will persist as long as children are educated by those who fear growth, who encourage docility and obedience to churchly authority, who would fix the natural superstitions of childhood l eo that no subsequent thought can dislodge them. Church life "This church of curs is kept "alive only through the divine life beating In human hearts, through your life and mine. Our Living God is no external being who works apart from human wills. "The church must stand or fall with religion. It has no other excuse for being. Here it has no competitor. You ask me what I mean by religion? I do not mean any one of its sectarian forms. Religion is eo vast, embracing as it does every human interest, that, when you paste a little sectarian label upon it, the label is so insignificant that you can only read it with ecclesiastical Spectacles. “Re'igion is not mysterious. It is eimply man's effort to come into right relations with the universe, with the faith that this harmony is achieved when we come into right relations with our fellows. Jesus called it love for God, and he explained that this means love for man. "Religion, as our effort to adjust ourselves to the conditions of life, will last as long as life. "God needs your virtue to complete His own. He needs all the beauty you can create, He needs all the conquests you can make in the moral world. He needs your art, your invention, your day by day work. "In a sense, the God you worship ; is but your concept, your mental image. You male Him and He is no greater than your thought of Him. Os course you have the faith that your thought exp:-esses a reality beyond your mind, that your image Is an Image of something. “Since you create the God you worship, it is your business to make a better and better God with your growing Insight and moral development. Your moral height Is measured by your idea of God. Asa newer, higher, grander thought of God displaces an older, lower thought, the old God is dead, and the new God, that is, your new

' Is Your Back a Handicap? Do You Suffer Constant Backache—Feel Old and Worn Out? Then Follow the Advice of These Indianapolis Folks.

IS a baa back keeping you upset and miserable? Every day brings lameness, stiffness and torturing twinges? Are you so tired, nervous and dispirited it seems you can never be well again? Surely, then, you should be finding out what is wrong! More than likely it’s your kidneys. Your kidneys, you know, are constantly filtering impurities from the blood. But weak, sluggish kidneys slow up in their work, allowing poisons to ac-

“Use Doan’s” Say These Indianapolis Folks:

L. LAWSON, telephone operator, 1728 W. Washington St., says: “My back pained, and there was a stiff and sore feeling in the' small of It most of the time. My kidneys were disordered. I got Doan's Pills at Haag's Drug Store, and they took the pain from my back and restored my kidneys to good condition.”

thought of the ever-living eternal, is vital in heart. Makes Man Free “The Church of the Living God begins by making man free. It rescues that grand epithet, Free Thinker, and makes it a title of dignity. It tells man to think fearlessly. Its God wants no sacrifice of ! brains upon His altar. It stamps as a sin. blind faith, unquestioning be- | lief. It exalts reason as the link that j connects us with the eternal. There jis no infallibility anywhere with : power to excommunicate. Thought, not feeling, must find a way out of the jungle for us. This thought must be applied, first, not to discovering a way to a celestial city above, but ways of making Indianapolis a celestial city. It must be applied to society, and re-organize it on the foundation of. justice. It must bring all men into right relationships. so that no wide gap extends between rich and poor so that organized labor and organized capital may both bow to their Lord and Master, Organized Social Well-being. "Last of all, the Church of the Living God will exist for all the people and not for any class. It will be democratic, or suffer the doom the world has. jironounced on all autocracies. Asa citadel of privilege, it will fall like the steel-clad fortresses of Belgium before weapons of modern warfare." Dr. Wicks said. CHANGES ANNOUNCED Bishop Uhartrand Makes Changes in Diocese. The Rt. Rev. Joseph Chartrand has announced the following changes in the Indianapolis diocese of the Catholic church: Director of St. Vincent boys’ home, the Rev. Frederick Burget.

LIVING BEST ADVERTISING Christian Religion Never More Interesting Than Today, Pastor Asserts. “There never was more interest in the religion of Jesus Christ as today, though many persons seems to pass it by.” declared the Rev. Allan B. I’hilputt, pastor of the Central Christian Church, in his morning sermon on “Putting Old Wine in New Bottles.” “What we need most is not to sell the gospel by lurid language, but to commend It to others by our daily living," he said.

Hartman, patsor of the Hall Place M. E.

cumulate until there’s an upsetting of the whole system. Then comes constant backache, sharp, stabbing pains, headaches, dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities. You feel tired, weak, nervous and depressed. Don’t let this unhappy condition go on! Help your sluggish kidneys with a stimulant diuretic. Use Doan’s Pills. Doan’s have helped thousands. Indianapolis folks recommend them. Ask your neighbor!

MRS. E. PETTY, 110 Koehne St., says: "My back ached and when I swept or dusted, pains came in m.v back. I was nervous and dizzy and more tired mornings than the night before. My kidneys were disordered, too. Doan's Pills cured me of the backache and made my kidneys well and healthy.”

Church said in his Sunday evening sera on. “Ihe day is right only when we consecrate ourselves, and pledge not to enter a war of aggression,” said the Rev. Hartman. “Defense day institutes anew American policy in which we rqview civil, religious, fraternal and commercial organizations all willing to defend our country in time of need.

Elstun and Marion E. Elstun, brothers, and their wives, who have been associated with the church thirty-five years. The two families have taken prominent part in work of the. church and Sunday school during tnose years. -JH* j ARMOR OF GOD Pastor Declares Christian Nations Should lessen the Danger of War. “There is no reason why we should not be prepared for war,” said the Rev. J. D. Armistead, pastor of the Downey Ave. Christian Church in a sermon Sunday on “The Armor of God.” "It is the duty of every Christian government to do everything possible to lessen the danger of war,” he said. GOOD EDUCATION UPLIFT, 1 . Parsons Much the Same as in Days of Christ. “Good education furnishes the basis of a higher level of moral and religious life.” said Robert J. Aley, president of Butler College, in a talk at the Third Christian Church Sunday. "Persons today believing in the material and unusual things, instead of believing things by faith, are much the same as in the days of Christ,” he said. SENTIMENT TOWARD WAR The Rev.

Papa returns home and tells the pitiful story of how he was robbed when trying to aid an injured child. His wife falls for the stop', but his : daughter Letitia gets the address of J the manicurist. Daughter sails over to the small apartment of Nettie Dark (Marie Prevostf for the purpose of trying to get back part of the SSOO. Daughter gets a terrible shock j when she discovers that the man she j loves has a key to the apartment of the manicurist. It is then that Letitia is told by the manicurist that all men are ! tarnished and that a good girl really , doesn't know how to love because she knows nothing about sacrifice. The jolly little gold digger of a manicurist then leaves Letitia and her tarnished man together. It takes some time before Letitia can nccept the love of the man she has idolized but she learns a big lesson —he has been straight since he met her. It Is her job to hold that love. And she begins her lesson until death floes part. "Tarnish” was and is quite a success on the stage. It held out for j many months in New York and is repeating Us success In Chicago. - Gran who played the part of the , naughty hut gay papa in the New York cast, plays the same role in j the movie. No one could do better with this part. He will make you laugh even while you are disgusted with the character.

WANT TO TRADE LIFE PRISONERS Canada Would Exchange Convidts With England, Hit Tint* Special LONDON, Sept. B.—The British government has received one of the strangest requests on record. During the war a lieutenant of one of the Canadian regiments was convicted of murder, committed while his regiment was in camp at Hampshire. He was sentenced to death, hut the sentence was finally commuted to life Imprisonment, which the prisoner is now serving In Parkhurst prison. In the same month, a young Englishman was arrested for murder in Alberta, Canada, near the native town of the Canadian vender sentence in England. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted. He Is now confined In Stoney Mountain Penitentiary, Alberta. He Is a native of the county In which Parkhurst prison is situated in England. Attracted by this novel coincidence, certain Canadian officials have asked the English government to consent to a transfer of prisoners. They will deliver up the Englishman, to be held as a life prisoner in Parkhurst prison, and in return take the Canadian officer and confine him in the Alberta penitentiary. Thus both men will be returned to their home districts, wjthin reach of relatives who desire to visit them. So far, the government is not inclined to look with favor on the transfer.

In getting away from the dentist he fell eighteen feet from the window of his room tp the ground below.

This movie was taken from Lucy Stone Terrill's story, ‘Face.” Asa movie vehicle it tries to be both polite and realistic melodrama. It is just about what one expects when , Jhina gets mixed up in melodrama. The author has given the story an old twist by proving that it is difficult for a hero to be a hero w hen at .heart he Isn’t. The movie director relied upon Bebe Daniels to put this picture across when she killed herself before a Chinese altar. It seems to me that movie directors should use mere care in turning magazine storiestnto movies. An impossible theme, no matter how dramatic, does not ring true even when worth while names are contained in the cast. "Unguarded Women" Just does not ring true to mo. A wee bit too melodramatic for my constitution. Some stories read better on the printed page than they appear on the screen. The bill includes Clyde Cook in "The Pinhead,” a news reel, Emil Seidel and his orchestra with Charles B.

Full-length silk stockings, which usuaHy are smuggled in through the Polish border, are an absolute luxury' and far beyond the means of the average woman. At first only girls under 16 wore short stockings, but now women generally have adopted them.

—to have a good Appetite/ “Yes! thank you.” A GOOD appetite means a cheerful disposition. You may have a good appetite If the blood that goes constantly to your vital organs Is pure. S.S.S. purifies the blood—a good appetite follows and you will have a clear complexion and will be strong, cheerful and healthy. Don’t go on feeling up one day and down the next —hardly sick but never well—losing “pep,** punch and ambition. Hearty eaters are the red-blooded men and women. Enjoy your food! Get back your strength and energy! Reclaim yourself before it is too late! People in a physically rundown condition are an easy prey to disease. S.S.S. is what is needed. Your blood needs purifying. Your bloodcells supply the energy which keeps your body well and fit. S.S.S. aids Nature in supplying new red-blood-cells, —the spark that rejogs your system. Carefully selected, scientifically proportioned and prepared herbs and barks make up S.S.S. —the great blood purifier which gives Nature a helping hand.
