Resolutions.
Our hearts Were made sad on the
morning of 1? eb. 17th when we learned
that Mrs. Robert Hardin had passed
away during the night. Mrs. Hardin
had been desperately ill of pneumonia,
lolloping mnuenza, for several days
but her friends and loved ones hoped
tnat she would rally and be spared to
her family who needed her so much —
but God called her to be with him.
Although Mrs. Hardin war unable to
attend Church service and the Mission
ary meetings often she was always in
terested in the work of her Church and
was ever ready to lend a helping hand
to those in need.
Only a few days had passed since the
death of this loved member when we
were shocked to learn that Mrs. J. G.
Morris had died suddenly of heart
trouble, it was almost impossible to be
lieve the message:only the night before
she attended church service, before
noon the next day she was with her
Savior whom she loved to serve while
on this earth.
Realizing that ther« wa%.much to do
and that the "Kings business requireth
haste she never lost an opportunity
helping somebody.''
The key-notes of her life were loving
service ana cheerful sacritice. The
Womans Missionary Society has lost a
faithful, member. When Mrs. Morris
was not present we knew it was im
possible for her to come.
Whereas, our Womans Missionary
Society has lost two of our most loved
members each in the very bloom of
young womanhood, therefore be it re
solved that the memory of their well
spent lives and devotion to their Mas
ter will inspire us to greater service:
that the suddenness of the summons
remind us of the uncertainly of lite
and the necessity of working during the
morning hours.
That although we cannot understand
why God called these loved ones when
they were needed so much, We bow in
humble submission to His will knowing
that God makes no mistakes.
That we extend to the family of each
one our sincere sympathy in their great
loss.
That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the Biblical Recorder and Forest
City Courier for publication and be re
corded in the minutes of our Society.

A National Crusade.
A great, nation wide move is on
for the complet3 Americanization of
the people of this country —a move
to thwart the various forms of social
and political unrest ibat are vainiy
striving to enmesh the country in a
swirl of chaos and disorder With
radical Socialism, Bolshevism and
other nefarious 'isms'' furtively
striving for a hold in this country,
the effort, futile as it is, must tie
curbed from the beginning. To do
this every man, woman and child
must be awakened to the full mean
ing of the word "Americanism,"
and to the full import of the dangers
that threaten our peepie should the
spirit of Americanism be destroyed
To accomplish this the Govern
ment of 'he United States and rep
resentative members of the motion
picture industry have joined forces
in a determined effort 10 spread to
every corner of our country the
spirit of Americanism —pure, una
dulterated Americanism, the kind
of Americanism that has brought
happiness and piOsperity to our
people, and which will continue to
bring to our people happiness and
prosperity The motion picture
screen has been enlisted astheGov
ernment's chief ally in destro\ing
the spreading germ of unrest and
Forest City's Movie Theatre screen
will contribute its share toward
this accomplishment.
Its first oppo''tiiniiy arises with
the showing of this Lewis J Selz
nick production, "The Land of Op
portunity. ' The Land of Oppor
tunity" is a super-feature of a most
unusual nature, a photoplay of rare
entertainment value as well as an
impessive lesion ih A MERICANISM
When the Government first called
for volunteers in this gigantic move
Mr, Seizuick was among the first 10
respond He submitted his person
al services to the National Board
anc\ at once threw his producing
lorces aud studios open to the cause
The Government wanted a photo
piay at once with which to begin its
campaign, and Mr. Selzuick agreed
to fire the opening shot.
It was decided that, the most stri
king example of true Americanism
was to be found in" the life of Abra
ham Lincoln, and accordingly a piuy
was conceived wherein would be
pictured oue of the most memorable
incidents in the life of Lincoln, a
man whose name will live as lougas
history lives. kk The Land of Op
portunity" is its title, and the story
it tells is so impressive, so engross
ing, and so thoroughly American
that anyone who sees it is bound to
feel iu his heart, a greater and more
resolute pride in this great nation.
RALPH INCE IS STARRED
That, the plav might not savor oC
propaganda, the producers selected
a, true chapter from the life of Lin
coln, secured the leading character
portrayal of Lincoln, and proceeded
10 put into the production every
thing that would lend it entertain
ment value. The picture was pro
duced under the direction of Ralph
Ince, and Mr Ince himself plays
the role of Lincoln.
Mr. Ince is not new to the role of
Lincoln, he having played the part
sa frequently that he is recognized
as the screen's most able delineaior
of the park He practically began
his screen career as ''Lincoln " when
he appeared some twelve years ago
in ''The Despatch Bearer." Since
then he has played the part in num
erous productions, which include
"Lincoln's Gettysburg Address,"
"The Seventh Son," ''The Battle
Hymn of the Republic," "Lincoln
the Lover," "Songbird of the
North," "l'he Man Wno Knew Liu
coin," and others. Mr. Ince has
made a study of Lltcoln, his life, his
times and his character, and he
knows the man as no other actor
knows him.
"The Land of Opportunity" is a
two-reel super-feature with a five
reel punch. It originally was writ
ten for five reels, but for the sake of
despatch it was condensed to two.
In following this plan Mr. Ince has
eliminated none of the essentials,
but has simply given you the "meat"
of the story in a brief, concise form.
The picture treats with three dif
ferent stages in onr history—to-day,
the year 1856 and the year 1832. It
deß(s with the parlor Bolshevist of
to-day as compared with theLincolns
of yesteryear. It is both entertain
ing and enlightening, and it is the
duty of every man, woman and child
to see it.
America for Americans—loo per
cent, or not at all. That's the les
son taught in the Selnick super
feature. "The Land of Opportunity."
with Ralph Ince in the role of Abra
ham Lincoln. See it at the Horn
Theatre Wednesday, April 14th.
