"Men like Straton." he nnl. "feni -ful

character of their own profusion rather

All honest work Is drudgery. Prohibi

lost virtue.
The Stnee Clcrniaii
"When n clergyman Is port raj wl
upon the stage at all, he is pictured
either ns a knav,. or n fool. The Sun

"Yes. the stage of today is 11 rotten
proposition. It Is reeking with mora,
infatn, and me tines ot us ihhiuiumi
are flowing out from New York as n
center for the corruption of the entire
nation. The theatre as It exists today
Is the devil's church, and It is now
vlsibk engnged In robbing the true
church of the Snhhath. which ha been
one of its chief foundation stones."
Wilson's Rcplj
Mr. Wilsnti declared he could name
a long llt of ministerial malefactors.
Whr is it. h asked, that the great
mor'nl influence of the church doesn't
make more ministers Christian In deed

"Men like Straton arc alwajs fearful
that the theatre with Its Increasing pop
ularly will outweigh the church in
spirit, in enrgy and in influence, he
said "The theatre, with almost every
church hand raised against It, has
grown to he the greatest moral influ
ence in the world. Men like Straton
aro jealous of that increasing influence.
When they see the emplj pews nnd feci
their Influence waning, they nlwnys take
a fling at the stage in nn effort to at

BETTER GASOLIN

AZ W Am
Yn
There's a new chapter in your experience with motor
fuels ready to be written.
Go to the nearest Atlantic Pump and get a tankful of
Atlantic Gasoline.
You'll know instantly, that it's still better Atlantic.
You'll recognize its still greater superiority in the motor
fuel field on every point by which the quality of gaso
line is judged.
You'll know by the way this "gas" takes the spark. By
the snap and completeness of every explosion.
You'll feel the difference when you "step on it". You'll
pick up and get away faster.
You can tell by the dynamic power at your command
when there's a hill to climb. By the responsive "zing"
of the motor when a burst of speed is required.
And you'll be completely convinced by the recorder's
positive proof of greater mileage! You try it!
