THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1924 THE QSETGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON ! I i i I ) 1 THREE ilTE Til I rc v lllLLu Ad Schuster ; WORD. AND DEED . H Gloria Mead had always been of the opinion that she would marry no one who did not love nature and beauty even as much as she did. Now with two suitors she repeated the declaration and wish ed that Malcomb Turner, large and unlet, would say or do something to qualify in her lists. ' It Malcolm loved beauty he kept It to himself or displayed the af fection : by '.driving her to places which called forth her enthusiasm. He had no words for a sunset, no rhapsodies for a grove or a for est stream. Sometimes the girl wondered if the presence of beauty did not silence ' him, ; and if this might be proof of - greater a pi preciation than was, hers. - Again Ehe questioned his capabilities to admire. ' Gloria. was puzzled and a little disappointed. Then "Win ton Downs, long of hair and soft of Tolce, came to town and talked to her raptly of many things' of which she had never dreamed. f "I am a poet t soul," said Win ton, "and my poems are no leas great because they are felt and not expressed. I am not one of those who would fasten names to the flowers and ticket the birds." There was more in the same strain and at last Gloria felt she was in the presence of a man who KNEW and UNDERSTOOD. ; Suddenly the prosaic Malcomb appeared as no more than one of ' the plodding millions. - ;- f ' From the first the two men had no liking for ; each y other. Winton professed an entire lack of understanding of one who could MODERNTMONSTER'GUN '-Together -in novel military demonstration naMWHIl niiinnriif i unmn rwiwui n nmmitinipiiM in uuiimn ihihih ohhiiihhk i n lnmni ihii mi" iiniiir w irif--iiiiriinrrf nr'-niT- iTHTTrir- l 1 v- TDjsci: rtJv-1 jx i :.:-3e..'

It seems that under the present preaching near ly everybody is Inclined to want the religion that Paul and Silas preached when they feel that they are ready for any at all. S The religion that I desire to call the reader's attention to is a great er religion than was preached in the days of Matthew, Mark, luke and John; yes. It is a greater re ligion than Jesus of Nazareth preached. Didn't Jesus say, ''Ver ily, verily, I say unto you, he that belleveth on me, the works that I do ehall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do: be cause I go unto my .Father." John H-12. What does this mean? unless it means that teachers of the truth are not required to go back to the beginning of the world to prove that there is a God; nor for instructions from the Bible how to preach the crucifixion of our Saviour, nor any time to spare that we may call the atten tion of I the lost to the preaching Sandy Hook.

And this was the situation when Gloria pre vailed upon Malcomb to drive the three to a week-end party in the hillS. - - i - ' - ' "i told Jessie," she said, speak ing of the hostess, "that you would drive Winton and me out." iAfter the car had left the high way -and -was running slower over an ascending and dust-cushioned Vermont road, Winton became im pressed with a blue, haze which filled the hollows. He could talk of nothing else, and Gloria, jre joicing - in , her companion, gave him all her attention. "Blue haze," 'Malcomb grunted, "that's smoke." He appeared ner vous and stepped on the gas while the poet and the girl exchanged glances which spoke pity of a man who could 'see in this purple veil ing nothing but smoke. A group of dirt-streaked, excised men halted them as they rounded a curve,. . i - - "Tou stay with the ear andjbe ready to drive back for supplies," one ordered Gipria," jphowing a star as he talked, "and you,; too.

There's a bad fire burning, and if we don't beat it soon It will be in the state grove. Hurry!" It was Malcomb who , seizea Winton and forced him along un til they joined a long line of men fighting desperately to beat ont an edging front or flame which, drowned one place, came to life in another. The air was filled with choking smoke and the heat was all but unbearable. The noise of heavy sacks slapped upon burning grass fell In -the crackle or bias ing .brush. Doggedly, desperately the men foueht. their faces Streaming with sweat and their muscles aching. Malcomb worked so hard he had no opportunity to watch Winton. At the end of two hours the wind died and the line of flails which had been given way advanced. There was a triumph ant shout along the row of black ened men. ' Back to the road they - came, happy and tired." " , ' v "We saved the grove!" Malcomb greeted Gloria, and she looked at him wonderingly. She sought Winton and found him talking to the leader of the crew. - "You may be sure." he was say ing, "I will send In a bill for ruined clothes and for my time. rather let us spend every bit of our time In preaching an UP 'to date religion, for 'living teachers and sermons are to take the place of dead teachers and sermons that they preached when they were liv ing on this earth. It is all right for us to read the Bible when we desire to delvs in to history, but when we 4esire knowledge and power so as to -enable us to teach others the way that they should live, so as to please God and at the same time be up to date, We must call God over long distance for instructions instead of taking down the! Bible for instructions. For greater works are expected of teachers of His word than you find in; the Bible. In other words, let th? people understand that God and His word are to be respected and honored by the people , o the world -Just as much as we in America honor our country and our flag. And to insult God and His word must be feared Just as much as to insult America and her flag.; When we of the world are In that state of mind it will be the beginning of wlsrdom. j Will B. Furdy.

That is what the Oregon theater offers to Its patrons beginning to day. Supporting them are such co-stars as Josie Sedgwick, Edna Mnrohv. Kathleen Klrkham and William Orlamond. The White Moth" comes re commended by the critics of the country as one of the most sensa tlonal and colorful productions of repent years -and the . settings are satd to equal in magnificence the brilliance of the cast. Hundreds of pretty girls, gorgeously gown ed, are used in the chorus scenes and the atmosphere of the whole play Is characteristically Parisian. Two extraordinary settings were built to form the background for the tense moments. One was the interior of a French theater. Six hundred people were employed to act as the audience in addition to a 30-piece orchestra. Two elaborate-settings were used on the stage; one, for a specially staged dance. I The other impressive set Is an exact reproduction of the grand ball room of the Tuileries Palace. In this setting is held, the Bal des Artistes.' Seven hundred people, all in different costumes, are seen. This scene is a typical Parisian ball and shows the carefree and abandon manner with , which these affairs are conducted.

EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE - A NEW AND UP TO DATE RELIGION Editor Statesman: If I were to announce in the beginning of this article that I intended to attack the method as used by religious leaders of today, there would be many who would pass this article without reading it, so I will start off by aying that I -have brand new religion, and I desire to preach my first "sermon in this article. It seems that nearly everybody is willing to read about everything or anything -new but religion.

Evert "in this progressive age, folks are somewhat wary, of leaving the beaten path. They stick pretty close to the-things they know, when those things come up to their expectations. J That is why alert merchants, and manufacturers strive to tell about their products and their services in the advertising columns of the daily paper. They want you to know what they have to offer, in the belief that when you do know, you will be j interested, and perhaps in spired, with some of their own enthusiasm. Thrifty men and women find that it pays to read the advertisements. It enables ; them to rest assured that they are not overlooking anything. It lets them know v where to locate some desired product or service; where to go for "this" or how to get "that" to best advantage. Without its direction they would overlook much-and consequently lose much- They would live in ignorance of many things that might adjd materially to their wealth, health and happiness. j Make advertising your guide to what's good to get.
