PL RO X A VIB CHRISTIANSTED THEATRE - 8.00. MONDAY EVENING 8.00 6 REELS _ 6 REELs JESSE D. HAMPTON Presents H. B. WARNER in | “Uncharted Channels” Not smashing— not shocking—but the deepest depth of sentiment runs through this Warner offering. The grief of a strong man, when his silence costs him sweet- heart and friends, is so ably pictured by Mr. Warner, that he is simply irresistible to the photo play patron. He is succeeded by a cast of unusual excellende and the pro- duction is another triumph. Show concluding with 1 reel Current News.

Correspondence To the Editor of the St. Crowx Awvis. * Dear Mr. Editor:— " In reply to enquirer’s letter in your issue of the 25th. inst. the Protest- ant Episcopal High Priest suggested that reference be made to a Dictionary. Being also of an enquiring tuin of mind, I referred to my Dictionary and found under the word ‘‘PONTIFICAL”’ the following : PONTIFICAL (derived from the La- tir PONTlFEX=bridge-builder) of or pertaining to bridge-building. ““Now far thev brought the work by wondrous art Pontifical a ridge of pend- ent rock O’er the vex’d abyss.”’ Milton, Paradise Lost. X. 313 Perhaps the Rev. H. Pigott’s bridge- builder is at present hard at work trying to bridge over the vexed and yawning abyss between the Protestant Episcopal Church of America and the Catholic Church of Rome. / Is this the Key 7?7 Yours with thanks, "““ANOTHER ENQUIRER”’. Bassin May 27th 1921. To the Edaitor of the Avis. Dear Sir:— The Rector ils evasive, why lock up his answer in mystery, and send me to a Standard English Dictionary to search fora “‘Key’’? A plain question deserves a plain answer, here it is, there is no such personage as a Pontiff of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the U. S. A., consequently also no Pontiffical High Mass. , However, with some difficulty 1 obtain- ed the work in question, a S. E. D.—, and seeking for his ‘‘Key’’. I looked up | the word ‘‘Pentifical’”’,—ifI am mis- ' taken the Rector isto blame—and the | explanation given is ''pertaining to the 1 Pope’’. This is still more interesting. ' Now the Rector occasionaliy conduc.s | services of prayer to the Virgin, cele- . brates Mass, and inferring from the | above, now acknowledges the Pope. Be . tween the Church of Rome, and the ' Church of England (of which St. Johr’s | P. E. C is the American representative) | there are three essential points of differ- i ence, the worship of the Virgin, ‘‘Trans- substantiation’ (the Mass) and the Su- . premacy of the Pope. Here we have a | Protestant clergyman of the Protestan® | E. Church of the U. S. A., settling this } great difference on the strength of his ' own initiative, ! Truly this is sublime, if not the other ! thing: One may well ask, ‘‘how can such | such things bhe’’? ‘ They shouldn’t. ENQUIRER. Frederiksted, St. Croix, May 26th 1921. W. H. Fleming Esq : Dear Sir:— , L Accept my sincere thanks for your eulogy touching tke very little that I may have done for the upkeep of Horse racing, but please remember that until ““Man’’ forgets the hollow shams anil conventionalities of our day, and has a deep seated instinet for fairplay, could I ever hope to receive due appreciation for untiring efforts to accorap ish some good. . Therefore, protempore, I shall - ask you to excuse {further ecmment on a subject whose merits or demerits will finally be evolved in the passage of Time. Faithfully yours, | I. S. HODGE. 27 May 1921. | Mr Editor, if "An Amused On l.ooker” will .~ consult Webster’s New International ' Dictionary of the English Language he . will soon find reason for drooping his . risibles.
