The work in our Norfolk churches
is moving on encouiagingly. Last Sun
day we had the largest Sunday school
we have ever had since its establish

ever made by the school in any one day.
The outlook is very hopeful. The gene
raj work of the church itself is graft
flying. Our mid-wcck services are al
ways enjoyable and we'll attended The
Christian Endeavor meetings are spir-
tied and hopeful. while our Sunday SER
vices are well attended and with in
creasinS interest. I have now entered
my six month of service here. and so
far we have not lost n service for any
cause Verify, in a ministry of nearly
Il quarter of century, have never
served n church in the country. town,
or city which allowed the weather to
have so little to do with their coming
to church. For instance. last Wcdnes-
day night ut the prayer meeting hour ii
was pouring rain from the clouds. but
twcnty-thrcc came through II. and we
had a good meeting. This is all hopeful,
but there is room for Improvement. and
much remains yet TO be completed.

who had the pleasure OF enjoying the
'Cleopa ira OF Miss Lewis. at the Aca-

presented the Witch of the Nile with
marked ability. and won from her au-
dience worlds of praise. The play was
staged and costumed splendidly, and IL
is safe to say that never before has the
same piece been SO deliberately present
cd to Il Norfolk audience. Miss Lewis Is
surely an artist, one who can toy with
the straightforward rules of art with a
license born Of beauty sustained by cleo
tricity.

race good to look upon. Her hair is,
brown. and her expression full of mean

n bright light in them that shines be-
cause of some fires that are hidden be-
hind them.
The world has been taught to believe
Cleopatra women of eternal beauty.
and for that reason there will always
