"What Is the Matter with the Church?" This, in substance, is the question which Rev. B. E. Parker has been asking of the men and women of this community. We beg leave to add a word to the friendly and suggestive answers which have been given already by some three hundred or more of interested persons. There is only one thing that can make a church go, and that is a gospel. Early Christians freely left home and kin; they expatriated and alienated themselves from all the deauest associations; they went into strange and barbaric lands suffering every privation ; they were taken into slavery ; they freely consented to remain in slavery where duty demanded; they were fed to big pikes that hung in Roman aquaria and private garden pools; they were strung up on crucifixes along the Appian Way; they were made into torches to illuminate Nero's garden parties; they were boiled in pitch, flung to the lions, flayed alive, halved and quartered, and treated to every piece of refined cruelty that cquld be suggested by pagan cunning and lust. But in spite of all, their numbers grew. Their faith spread. They began with a handful;
they ended with capturing the Roman Empire. Rich and poor begged the privilege of dying in the name of the Christ. And why? Because the early Christians had a gospel to proclaim. And a gospel, as the very word itself literally implies, means "good news." The reason people were willing to leave home and kin, suffer tortures and embrace death was that they received good news. People still do that. During last spring's floods, thousands walked with blistered feet, rode atop freight cars, waded icy streams, and placed themselves in a thousand dangers merely to get the good news that their families and friends were safe. If war were to break out the gentlest women in the community would mob newspaper and telegraph offices to secure a word from sons and husbands at the front. If news, really good news, were proclaimed from the pulpits the same mob would overflow all the benches and into the streets. People will give all they possess to have the news they most want. Christ brought Galilean peasants news they had waited centuries to hear. He brought them news from the very heavens. "To whom shall we go? Thou hast the news of eternal life!" If there is a preacher in Richmond who sends a timorous, halting message across dreary wastes of empty pews, who is more impressed by Ihe multitudes absent than by the handful present, we suggest that he ask himself what news he is preaching. Preachers who don't get a grip on people's hearts usually have two causes for their failure. One may be that they are not giving their listeners real NEWS. What they say may be GOOD but is not new. Things that happened a long while ago are often interesting, but they don't grip very hard. We know all about them already. Thomas Carlyle said: "What happened in Palestine two thousand years ago is of great importance, no doubt, but the thing of greatest importance is what happens in England today," or words to that effect. Or, if our preacher delivers News he probably doesn't give GOOD news. Many ministers seem to have a predilection for picking out of present day conditions the most repulsive, most discouraging, and most gloomy features. They give the news, but not the kind of news people will wade through blood to hear. If they talk of politicians it is only to condemn ; if they speak of business it is to deprecate, if of literature it is to criticise, if of society it is to castigate, if of amusements it is to anathematize, and if of the world in general, it is to damn. God is moving about in the world today. He is hard at work in our midst. He is doing great new things He has never done before. If the church, with its old time utter abandon will but place itself as a trumpet to His lips, He will blow through it a blast that will bring the masses once more to the deserted altars.

fundamental thing in existence, one may stop and take notice. Such an event is significant. Lord Tennyson did that. In his early days
he was bowled over by Darwinism, or rather by pseudo-scientific interpretations of Darwinism, j
and came to the conclusion that our dust would be sealed up in the iron hills forever; if it is not certain he went quite that far it is certain that he surrendered his childhood faith. But- in the later years that brought the philosophic mind he saw through a few of the fogs that had bewildered him and penned, "I shall meet my pilot face to face." More striking is the case of George J. Romanes, who pioneered so faithfully in the theory of evolution and whose work on animal intelligence has never been surpassed. His faith, too, was bowled over by the new scientific views, and not bowled over, only, but pulverized. In 1878,

William Watson's Change of Mind Nobody has ever given much weight to deathbed conversions or repentance. When a man is scared out of his wits, when his mind has been melted into a jelly by the imminent approach of dissolution, he is prone to do and say things calmer moments would condemn. But when a thoughtful person, in the full noon of unwaning mental powers, deliberately and after years of reflection,, changes his mind about the- most
work in which he announced himself a clearly convinced Christian. And now comes the English poet, William Watson, who wrote "The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue," and changes his mind. Lovers of poetry will all recall his extraordinarily beautiful stanzas published in the 90's wherein he condemns man to extinction, the world to disaster, and waved religion aside as a passed phrase of a long evolutionary process. We are but bubbles, he said, after the fashion of Omar Khayyam, doomed soon to burst into everlasting extinction. But now behold! On his forty-fifth birthday he pens a sonnet, as felicitously worded as ever, in which after giving thanks for wife and children, he gives, "Deep thanks that I have now at last regained That faith In God which I did lose so long." The deepest thing in the human soul is its everlasting need of God and the soul will at last assert itself and claim its natal rights however much it may have been weighted down with the sophestries and hazards of the mind. Scientists, poets, philosophers, captains of industry, and men of affairs come at last to join St. Augustine in crreot aocvintmn "T'hrMi tiict moi)o i,c -T-

faction of the moat exacting. To Modest Altschuler, its brilliant and gifted conductor, more than to any other one man, is due the credit for the signal success of the Russian Symphony Orchestra. "For Her Sake." Next week The Francis Sayles Players will present another melodrama but entirely a different kind than was seen last week. "For Her Sake." is a Russian play and Mr. Sayles will costume It absolutely correct and the production will be elaborate and complete in all details. Mr. Sayles and Mr. Kast will both return to the cast again next week. "The Lottery Man." A good comedy is seen in "The Lottery Man," which the Francis Saylea Players are presenting at the Murray theatre this week and each member of the company are playing their parts well. During the three acts the audience is handed many a laugh and many consider It the best play of the season. There will be another matinee Saturday. T6 Be Produced Soon. During the next few weeks The Francis Sayles Players will offer the following plays: "Human Hearts," "David Harum," "The Woman In The Case," "The End of The Trail," and "The Woman," each of these plays W'ill be given elaborate productions as The Sayles Players always present plays in the manner in which they
Watson's sonnet is so well worth reading we append it in its entirety: SONNET ON THE AUTHOR'S FIFTY - FIFTH BIRTHDAY For three things give I thanks this August morn: Deep thanks that there hath been vouchsafed to me A perfect spouse, pure as the perfect sea: Deep thanks that unto me of late was born A radiant daughter, perilously torn Out of her mother's woful agony, Yet joyous as the flowers that fill with glee Her gray-blue eyes, or aa the festal corn: Deep thanks that I have now at last regained That faith In God which I did lose so long; The God who ofttimes with bewildering gloom Muffled His beams; who darksomely sustained And guided, when I knew not; and from whom I had at birth the heavenly dower of song.

Gennett. The first local demonstration of the new Edison Kinetophone will be given at the Gennett theatre Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 17 and 18. The performance will show that the device is everything that has been said of it, the sounds coming from the mouths of the actors in perfect harmony with the movement of the lips and the accompanying gestures, and with such distinctiveness that the words can be heard in every corner of the theatre.

"Little Women." How "Little Women" would survive the glare of the footlights has been a much-mooted question among readers of Louisa M. Alcott's charming story of forty years ago but it was settled to the satisfaction of Miss Alcott's living relatives last year by William A. Brady. They had been reluctant to entrust the quaint, lovable characters to the stage but they had no regrets when the Brady production was unfolded to their gaze. After running at the playhouse all last year, "Little Women" was sent on tour this season by Mr. Brady and the complete production will be seen at the Gennett theatre Saturday, Nov. 15, matinee and nigfct.
Murrette. Today will be the last opportunity to see that wonderful animal picture, "In the Midst of the Jungle," one of the most elaborate pictures of its kind ever made. The story tells of Col. Jackson and his two daughters on a hunting trip through South Africa. One girl unfortunately strays away from the camp and is lost. This picture without doubt is the most thrilling wild animal production yet made.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.

STRIKING THOUGHT. Philadelphia Inquirer. "Life is a school," says a philosopher who, following the trend of the times, has evidently concentrated his whole thought and effort toward evolving something radical and original.
Have Been Restored to Health By Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. There is no doubt about this fact. Why I during the last 30 years we have published in the newspapers of this country volumes of letters from women who have been relieved of all their suffering by the timely aid of this grand old medicine. Letters like the following, true, genuine and honest expressions of gratitude coming from grateful hearts. Surely you can believe the.Se women. Mrs. L S. IJRKXXEK, Hudson, Mich., says: " Sometime ago I was taken with a terrible pain In my right side, such eharp pains just like a knife sticking me. I tried hot applications but that did no pood. 1 went to our family doctor (we were living in Fayette, Ohio, at that time) and he said it was organic inflammation. I doctored with him a while but kept g-etting worse. The pain was so terrible I could hardly stand on my feet. I would have that sharp pain in my right side, and a dull heavy pain the whole length of my limb. I realized that something had to be done quickly, so I looked up all of your advertisements I could find, and saw several that described my case. I got a bottle of Lydia E. linkharu's Vegetable Compound and it helped me from the first dose, and when I had taken two bottles my trouble wa gone. Your medicine has done so much for me that I am willing1 you frhoula publish this letter for the sake of other suffering women." Mrs. L. S. Brxknhr, Hudson, Michigan. Mrs. L. E. BOWERS, Glrard, Pasays: " I take pleasure in informing you of what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I had a eick 6pell last February, and for some months after that I was not regular and had many bad feelings. I was tired all the time, had dull headaches, not much appetite, and also what the doctor called organic inflammation. Your Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me and I feel that too much cannot be said in its praise as I am now able to do my own work. You are perfectly welcome to use my testimonial for the benefit of others." Mrs. L. E. Bowebs, E.F.D. No. 1, Girard, Pa. Mrs. ELIZABETH GENTILCORE,. Buffalo, If. Y-says: " I feel that I must write to you about your wonderful remedies. About ten years ago I was troubled with female weakness and was all run down. I was tired all the time and could hardly walk without feeling dizzy. I heard about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, took it, and also used the Sanative Wash. I got stronger, and have not had those dizzy spells since. I feel that I owe my health to you, and hope your remedies will help others as they have me. I tried most everything I heard of, and yours are the bes.t medicines for women's ailments." Mrs. Elizabeth Oehtilcore, 26 Glor Street, Buffalo, New York.
For 30 years T,ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female iils. No one sick with woman's ailments does justice to herself if she does not try this famous medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored so many suffering women to health. Write to LYDIA E.PIXKHAM MEDICINE CO. U-T (CO'FIDETIAL) LYJLN, MASS., for advice. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a- woman and held in strict confidence.
