tested the effect of the hard times
upon his congregation. At the con
clusion of one of his sermons he said:
"Let everybody in the house who
pays their debts stand up" Instant
ly every man, woman and child, with
one exception arose to their feet.
He seated the crowd and then said I:
"Let every man who is not paying
his debts stand up" The exception
noted, a care-worn, hungry looking
individual, clothed in his last sum-
mer suit, slowly assumed q perpen-
dicular position and leaned upon the
back of the seat in front OF him.
GLOW is it my FRIEND" inquired the
minister, that you are the only man
in this large congregation who is I'M
able to meet his obiigations?p 81
publish a newspaper" he meekly re-
piled, ''and my brethren here " ho
have just stood up are all my sub
scribers, and, '-"Let us pray" ex-
claimed the minister.

debt received setback in the West
Virginia House of Delegates onThurs-
day that body having unanimously
passed resolution refusing to con-
slider or even to have anything to do
with the matter. As the session of

days, it is hardly possible that the
parties who have been engineering a
movement for settlement will make
any further attempt in this direction
during the present session.

ing siege to the Jewish city, and
afterwards captured it. The can
tatas scenery is based upon the FAM
Gus siege. and incidents which oc.
Cured therein eliminating in the
city's overthrow the victory ofCyrus
and the defeat and death of Belshaz-
Ear. In conception the libretto by
j. A. Butterfeld is excellent, and
there are some scenic effects that are
sublime. The music is more on the
order OF the oratorio than OF the
lower libretto, and the movements
border on the majestic, as the famil-
lar Bible story shows it should. The
program published shows that the
assignments of the various charac
tiers have been made with great care,
and our city and vicinity may expect
to witness not only excellent stage
movements and settings, but inter.
probation of the parts in most graft
flying artistic style. Among the chief
scenes are camp of Cyrus before Ba-
bylon, and the angels foretelling OF
the destruction, the soldiers battle
march, the capture of Zerubbabel,
the spy, his condemnation and his
rescue; the feast of the King and his
lords, the mysterious handwriting
and its Interpretation by the aged
prophet, Daniel, and the final entry
OF Cyrus, his victorious procession
and the death of Belshazzar.
