Woods production playing at the Cas tle theatre today, last day, is our idea of an excellent photoplay. It has that pleasant combination of pathos and humor woven about a thcuie that has a real message and a story re plete with iiuman interest. It iB a tale of youth not riotous youth rh's time but youth, face to face. with the realities of life. Don McLenn, n rich mnn's son, is starting from the bottom In tho factory.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS HEARD BY MANY It was an "old-time preacher, be lieving in the old-time religion," who vigorously and most fluently pro pounded out his opinions on the "isms" and "cisms" of this modernism before an auditorium jammed with an audience of .'500 or more. It was Ilev. William A. (Billy) Sunday, talking in his characteristic manner on the evils of the time at a tuassjueeting Wednesday night in the First Methodist church. liis address waa simply a sermon with the text taken from verses in the twenty-fourth chapter of Second Kings. 'Is It Well Witii YouV was his subject. Flays "Stiff Dignities." "Is it well with youV You don't know? Ob, I am sick of these stiff dignities who iu the pretenses of reli gion, don't know the a, b, uud c's of Christianity. I want church people who can awoken and pray, and who can do something to help right along. 'Ia it well with the bootlegger? Well, let me tell you this much, the man who buys booze from the boot ies per is jutft as ornery, low-down, and bad as the bootlegger. He's a crook, and don't forget that, I don't care if you are a church deacon, you're boa tied straight for hell." Jumping from subject to subject and keeping his audience Bpell-bound, the Kev. Mr. Sunday next Bwatted evolution. "I denounce anyone who says my ancestors were descended from tiie ring-tailed monkeys hanging from the clothesline. "Oh-o-o!" and it was in his typi cal "Hilly" Sunday fashion that he put his hand to his mouth and leng thened that oh" out "you might as well say that because the, cow gives milk and because the cocoanut gives milk that the two are descended from the milkweed!" On Ra'sing Children. The way children are reared and trained today was scored heavily by Mr. Sunday. ' I have the greatest scorn fur the mothers and lathers who go to bed letting tiieir cuudreu roam around where tiiey plcatte. In stead of ''keeping them in troui uiorn uig to uijfbi," uiy solution is to keep thcoi in iron, night to morning. "I'll thank God when the curlew is r nguig in every village and town of the laud. For then the luw wilt see that the younger people are in if their parents don't!" The room resounded with the applause aa he finished his statement. "Xou look after their education. You call the doctor when t!iey are ill, that is you do if you have any sense, but what about their religion'. "How many men are tbere in this audience whose children have heard them pray. Whose children have heard them say a blessing. Whose ohihiren have . heard (hem speak of the Bible. Whose children have heard them mention the name of God in other ways than profanity? Parents Poor Examples. The trouble is that the na rents do not set the example. They're too busy wim meir society, their gossip, the.r money-making, and their literury ef forts! "They denounce society, they de nounce the church. Hut we're doing the best wo can. They say the church is full of hypocrites." He turned arouud to all the audience and loudly shouted, "but there's room for an other hypocrite, come on in! "Iin t blame the devil for the evils. Toor devil! There's not devils euough In hell to make you do wrong. All the devil can do is to tempt. And there's not angels enough in heaven to make you good. You're good when God urges you. BM In Individuals. "Don't blame others for the evils, don't blame the church, don't blame your neighbor. Go home and look into the mirror and say 'that's the bird I'm looking for.' . "And you wont to remember that if society is bad. it's because you made it that way. It's because the in dividuals are bad!' "Hilly'a" address wsi for the most part taken up with illustrations end examples which he said ho had met with during his years of preaching. llefore 8 o'clock, when the sermon was to have beeu given, the auditor ium of the church was parked w.th many standing, and Mr. Sunday began before time. lie and Mrs. Sunday left immediately after thj lecture for Portland.
