WEEKLY SMILE
(C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.)
v J
Is prohibition succeeding, is a
question that is being asked many
times in the cities, especially those
which were wet at the time the
amendment went into effect. Posi
tively yes, is the answer to that
question. To read some of the li
quor controlled newspapers you
wouldn’t think so for every time a
bootlegger is caught they have large
headlines in the paper to make it
appear that the country is going to
the dogs. But, just the same, pro
hibition is fact becoming a reality.
The greatest part of it is that the
young boys and girls of today do not
see any open saloons, ladies’ drink
ing rooms and cabarets. The indus
trial situation is the best it has ever
been and all statistics show that
crime has decreased in every state.
The enemies of prohibition have
spread abroad the report that the
Anti Saloon League took advantage
of 2,000,000 soldiers who -went to
France and had the prohibition
amendment passed while they were
away. But, what are the facts in
the case? Nineteen twentieths of
the area of the United States, which
has two-thirds of the population, was
already dry by state enacted laws be
fore the 18th amendment was pass
ed. The man who drinks liquor is
a greater enemy of prohibition than
the man who sells it and the greatest
of all demons is the sot who goes
around saying that people who never
drank liquor before prohibition, are
now drinking regularly. These are
lies manufactured by the liquor
crowd. It required 50 years to have
the 18th amendment enacted and it
may require the same length of time
before we will see real prohibition.
A letter from W. O. McKinney, of
Anderson, S. C., dated April the Bth,
has just been handed to me by the
manager of station W. I. P. “W. O.”
lives at 206 Roberts St., in Anderson.
Receiving a letter from him takes
me back about ten years ago when
Alex Kidd, Jule Matheson and I
used to go to the different “All day
dinners and singing on the ground”
to hear “W. O,” Claud Dooley and
others sing and then later to “eat
our heads off” at the long tables pre
pared just outside the churches.
“W. 0.,” like myself, likes to sing
but he also enjoys eating fried chick
en for I have seen him in action.
“W. O.” has an Atwater-Kent set
which is a good one and he states
that he heard my ’three songs on
Tuesday night, April 7th.
Am also in receipt of a letter from
Genevieve (Vickery) Shaw’s hus
band at Cartersville. These two let
ters have been “tied up” somewhere
for a long time. There may be oth
ers that I haven’t received which
were sent, so if I have failed to men
tion your name in these columns just
know that I haven’t received your
letter. Genevieve and I used to play
dolls together and it is a pleasure
to hear from her husband and to
learn that she and the other mem-

INSTALL REV. DENDY AS
PASTOR OF FAUNSDALE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Uniontown, Ala., April 29.—Spe
cial—Rev. Marshall Dendy, a grad
uate of the theological seminary in
Columbia, S. C., was installed pas
tor of the Faunsdale Presbyterian
church on Tuesday evening with be
fitting exercises. Those having
charge of the ceremonies were, Rev.
R. L. Benn, Rev. A. G. Irons, Mr.
George McKee of the local church,
an dProfessor J. M. Laird, of Thom
aston, who constituted a commission
of Tuscaloosa Presbytery appointed
at its recent meeting in Selma.
There was present a large delega
tion from the church at Linden and
the church at Thomaston, which
churches, along with Faunsdale
make up the group served by Mr.
Dendy. The music was furnished by
the different choirs of the little city.
A special song was sung by the
choir of Linden and a beautiful solo
wa srendered by Mrs. Leonard Low
ery.
A delightful and bountiful plate
luncheon was served by the ladies
of the church previous to the in
stallation services to about 100 peo
ple in the beautiful and spacious
home of Mr. and Mrs. George Mc-
Kee.

bers of her family are getting along

home of by old college friend and
fraternity brother, Pete Lumpkin.
On Monday night, the 4th, I at
tended the big Ringling Bros.-Bar
num and Bailey combined circuses
here in Philadelphia. Frankly, I
enjoyed it just as much as I used to
when my father would have old
George, our first grey horse, hitched
up to the carriage and our entire
family would go to Anderson to see
either Barnum and Bailey, Ringling
Bros., Walter L. Main, Foupaugh
and Sells Bros., or some other cir
cus, twenty or twenty-five years ago.
My father enjoyed a circus and rare
ly ever missed one that came to An
derson, so I guess I inherited it
from him.
The clowns were unusually good
this year. Some of their best stunts
included, a negro running around
with a skeleton holding on to his
shoulders, a clown leading a horse
which had galoshes on all four feet,
a shimmying Ford, a donkey which
would walk up between the legs of
a tall man and pick him up and run
away with the man on its back, and
a clown who sat in a chair on the
top of a stack of tables and rocked,
tables and all, back and forward un
til he finally fell. Several times be
fore he fell he seemed about to fall
but would reach out in the air as
if he hoped to pull himself back
again.
There was a new horse act this
year which had 100 horses perform
ing at one time. It was marvelous.
A seal played “Where the River
Shannon Flows” on a xylophone. A
thing that fooled three-fourths of
the crowd was a dog dressed as an
elephant. Everybody hollered, “Oh,
see the little elephant.” A troupe
of small dogs were dressed as ponies
and fooled a number of people.
Bears on skates and riding bicycles
attracted much attention. The ele
phants were very good this year.
Ella Phant always pleases the chil
dren. May Wirth, the world’s great
est bareback rider and Mme. Lillian
Leitzel, the world’s greatest gymnast,
were the greatest features. Miss
Leitzel succeeded in “skinning the
cat” with one arm 100 times.
In the side show, Ima Whale
(weighing 650 pounds net) had her
usual smile. Several bought pic
tures of Ima. A trained chimpanzee
did everything but talk. A sign on
the platform read, “Was Darwin
right?” “Two Ambassadors From
Mars” on one platform looked like
brothers of Jesse Sadler only their
hair was longer and curled. I tried
to persuade Jess Sadler to go on the
road with me once but he said, “No
tent show for mine.” Jess could
have made lots of money in the show
business. My idea was to put a ring
in his nose and have a sign in front
of the tent reading, “Jesse”—the
only one alive. Brought to this
country from Borneo —has skin like,
a sish —white kinky hair—pink eyes
—is a fine singer.
I have been expecting Louie Ligon
Morris and his better half to arrive
in Philadelphia some time during the
past week, for Louie promised to
stop over for a day anyhow when he
came to New York, but it seems that
he “passed us up.” I had figured on
seeing the circus with you, Louie.
Gimbel Bros, entertained 9,000
children from hospitals, orphans’
homes and other charitable institu
tions at the circus on Monday after
noon, the 4th. They were served
peanuts, pop corn, red lemonade and
ice cream by the Girl Scouts of Gim
bels’ store. Maybe they didn’t have
a time. Gimbels does this every
year. , _

What are the Protestant
Churches Coming to?
ARE YOU A PROTESTANT CHURCH MEMBER? Are you aware of the fact that American Protestantism is fast
slipping from the rocky heights of true Bible faith? Do you know that scores of theological seminaries, where your
future ministers are being trained, have ruled out an infallible Bable; that thousands of ministers are preaching a
man-made gospel; that that literally hundreds of thousands of church members are being swept along by this ever
rising tide of “modernism?”
Do you know that this country today is thickly dotted with churches that are mere shells of their former selves? Do
you know that a general collapse of American Protestantism was actually threatened some time ago; that a mighty
counter-movement has started; and that we are IN THE GREAT CRISIS right now?
We want to reach EVERYBODY that calls himself a church member—also those who do not read a church paper, and
they are legion. Hence this general announcement in your secular paper. Men and women, are you in favor of re
taining the Bible that your fathers believed in and that your mothers trusted in. that was their hope and stay in times
of grief and sorrow, that gave them cheering visions of a heavenly rest—the rest that your liberals do not believe in
because it belongs to the “supernatural” and, therefore, “unknowable?” Will you join us in saying “Whatever you do,
or don’t do, but HANDS OFF THE BIBLE?” Will you help save the Bible for America? Will you join in the fight
for its integrity? Will you, too, deny modern scholarship the right to rob us of the only sure foundation upon which
our feet can stand, in these shifting sands of time?
* Then you are interested in the news that we are now able to convey to you—the greatest piece of news heralded for a
long time. It is this, THAT A NEW REFORMATION IS COMING! There are rumblings everywhere of the ap
proaching battle—the battle between faith and unbelief, between true religion and false science, between FUNDA
MENTALISM and LIBERALISM. And there is yet more news. It is this—that A GREAT GENERAL MAGA
ZINE is now being published, for all the Protestant denominations, edited by the great leaders of conservative Pro
testantism, which is here to keep its readers promptly informed of every new development in the “new Reformation"
movement, and which is blazing the way to a “new Protestantism” in America! The magazine Ls bigger than any de
nomination; it has nothing to do with this sect or that. It is interdenominational. It is here to fight, on a huge, na
tion-wide scale, for the sanctity of the Bible! It is here to place the Bible where our fathers placed it—far above all
the thoughts, and philosophies, and imaginations, of mere men! And it is here to adore a DIVINE CHRIST in that
DIVINELY INSPIRED BIBLE! That is the only Christ men and women would want for their Saviour in the hour of J
death; that is the only Bible they would care to rely on when the chilly waves begin to strike their feet, weary of travel.
TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THESE MOMENTOUS TIMES, READ
The New
REFORMATION
A Monthly Magazine for All the Churches, Representing the
j Nation-Wide Movement against Modernism and for the
Positive Recognition of the Sanctity of the Scriptures.
EDITORS: JOHN CLOVER MONSMA, editor-in-chief; WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, former U. S. Secretary
of State; HORACE M. DUBOSE, Bishop Methodist Episcopal Church, South; LEANDERS S. KEYSER, Professor
Lutheran Divinity School; CLARENCE EDWARD MACARTNEY, Moderator Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.; MARK
A. MATTHEWS, Minister of largest Presbyterian church in the world, Seattle, Wash.; GEORGE M’CREADY PRICE,
expert Geologist, of England; L. R. SCARBOROUGH, President Southwestern Baptist Seminary; JOHN ROACH
STRATON, Minister Calvary Baptist Churrh, New York; GEO. WHEATON TAFT, President Northern Baptist Semi
nary, Chicago; MARTIN LUTHER THOMAS, Minister First Presbyterian Church, San Pedro, Cal.—and numerous
contributors of note.
This is not a church paper! It is unlike anything you have ever seen. It is bold,
but not radical. It is fearless, but not rude. It is powerful in its true, deep, clear
• faith, but not bigoted. It is conservative, and yet sanely progressive.
One of the paper’s greatest features is the Practical Comment on the Sunday School
lessons, by the editor-in-chief, Dr. Monsma. It’s unlike anything else ever publish
ed in the Sunday School line—not an exposition (you will still need your lesson
helps) and yet something that will enable you to grasp the lessons and to apply them
practically like never before. “Practical Comment” is written in a snappy style,
reads like a story, and goes to the heart of every lesson.
