SHOWS FOR WEEK
AT DEAN THEATER
Program for week of Oct. 16-22:
Sunday and Monday: “I’ll Give a
Million.’’ This comedy is one that is
different from those you generally
see. You will not go away saying
that you have^seen one precisely sim
ilar to it. Its cast is composed of
Warner Baxter, Marjorie Weaver,
Jean Hersholt, Peter Lorre, and
practically innumerable supporting
players capable of playing a type to
practical perfection, here seen in
something unlike anything previous
ly esen. Warner Baxter’s role gives
him more opportunity to display hia
ability including vocal, than anything
he has had to do in the past. Miss
Weaver handles the famous lead ef
fectively.
•^Thursday and Friday: Jane With
ers and-Rochetle Hudson and Robert
Wilcox in “Rascals.” Jane herself is
as lively as ever, and Borrah Minne-
vitch, the harmonica wizard, delivers
some broad comedy whioh will garn
er : grfeat -appreciation, especially from
the kidides. Rocehll Hudson and Wil
cox furnish the romantic feature of
the story.
Saturday, Double Feature: Ken
Maynard in “Trailing Trouble”. And
Conrad Nagel and Eleanor Hunt in
“Bank Alarm.”

The Sermon on the Mount was de- i
d'ivered in the summer of A. D. 28. |
The Ten Commandments reverence i
for God is recognized, and profanity !
forbidden. Lets notice what the Third \
Commandment says about profanity.I
The name of God stands for his dei-t •
ty. We can take his name in vain by I
hypocritical profession and by blas
phemy; by false swearing or mis
statement of truth, and by breaking
a contract sealed in God’s name.
When we use the name of God in a
careless way or in frivolity in jest
or in anger. We can further use
God's name in vain by light and heed
less use of the name of God is de
basing to the user and defiant of
God.
God will not permit us to use his
deceitfulneBS.
name in vain
are witnesses against Mm.
Another way by which we may use
the name of the Lord irrevently is by
living a life of deception by saying
one thing and doing something en
tirely different. Deception is then one
of the greatest evils that we have
to combat. If one goes to church and
preaches and praises with eloquent
lips and then goes back home to
break the least of these command
ments that man blaspremes when he
prays. He may deceive the world but
he will not deceive 'God. If a mar.
takes the name of God for vanity, of
truth is not behnid his worship he
had best not worship at all.
Christ’s Interpretation of the
Third Commandment
In Mathew 5:33-37 we have
Christ’s interpretation of taking
God’s name in vain. This passage
was taken from the Sermon on the
Mount. During the time of our
Lord’s sojourn on earth the Jews
were taught that only oaths were to
he kept and' not all of them, and on
ly certain forms of swearing were
binding. Christ specifically says in
this passage that such destruction
are sinful. All others are binding blit
no others should be used' 'because a
man’s word ought to be as good as
his oath. It is a great mistake to
think that a lie is not sinful unless
it is sworn to.
The Importance of Our Words
Our Lord 1 speaking just before the
words of our lesson today had cast
out a demon. The Pharasees imme-
dately declared, acknowledging the
miracle, that it was by Belzeibuib, the
prince of demons, that Jesus was ex
ercising this power. The Lord imme
diately replied with an undeniable
assertion, namely, that it was incon
ceivable that satan should be divided
aginst himself, and of course against
his own kingdom. He now proceeds
to reveal 1 to the desciples a funda
mental principle concerning their
speech. “Either make the tree good,
and its fruits good, or make the tree
corrupt, and its fruits corrupt for
the tree is known by its fruit, ye off
spring of vipers, how can ye, being
evil, speak good things? For out of
the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh. The good man out
of his good treasure bringeth forth
good things and the evil man out of
his evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things.”
The fruit that a tree bears is de
termined by the nature of the tree.
Our words are products. If a man’s
life is evil at the center you can ex
pect nothing hut evil words as the
fruit of that life. If a man is soundly
true then his words will he soundly
true. A man whose heart is filled
with good' things will not yield to
speaking evil things. There is noth
ing more needful today than the cul
tivation of noble thinking and the
storing in our hearts, vast treasures
of things in life. Foul conversation,
criticisms, etc., have never been a
blessing to any one. Men will he
blessed by us if our wor^ and deeds
are always high and mjjble. We [may
be assured of one thingj. and thpt is
that every, word' that utter j will
either have its influence .for good or
evil. It is up to us that, as to the
influence that we will wield. It Is 'in
our power then to either wield a good
or a bad influence over those about
us. ,
We read further these words, “and
I say unto you that every , idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give
B.Y.P.U. And Epworth .
League Help To Traiji j
Christian Workers
“We study that we may serve”,—.■
this is the motto of the B. Y. P. U.
This doesn’t mean that no onb else
can have this as their motto or that
you can’t learn to serve God without
a B. Y. P, U. But this Union in the
the Baptist church, as it is with the
Epworth League in the Methodist
church, has as its definite aim and
purpose tlie training of Christians in
church membership. So why not take
advantage of these opportunities 'to
be trained so that you iraty.bdia
more efficient church member. If one
is well trained, he then will be of
use in his church.
Every Christian has a love'for'his
church and its his desire to become
one of its best and most useful mem
bers. One cannot drift'ilVtd-'a’ ri biisi-
ness or profession, neither can he
drift into efficiency inchurch activity.
He needs training so that he may be
“a workman that needeth not be
ashamed,” in God’s Kingdom.
What are some of the needs of a
young Christian that are taught in
the B. Y. P. U.?
First, everyone should know the
Bible. If he doe’sn’t he is limited in
his service and can never be the
church member he should be.
Second, he must know how, to pray.
He needs not only to learn to pray
in secret but also to pray in public
without the consciousness of those
about him. He must know the mean
ing of true communion with God.
Third, every Christian must learn
to speak for Christ. No matter how
young or old, he robs himself of
much joy and Christ of much glory
if he doesn’t learn to speak for Him.
Then, other essential things: they
need to know one another and the
real meaning of Christian fellowship.
They need to know the doctrines of
the Bible so that they’ll know how
God would have them live. They need
to take advantage of each opportuni
ty toward fitting themselves for serv
ice.
If you are a young Baptist and j
are not enrolled in the B. Y. P. U.,
we want to make a special appoint
ment with you to meet us at the
Baptist church at six o’clock' Sunday
evening. There are about thirty boys
and,girls who are anxious to have
