1.-THE PLAYS

This afternoon at matinee and night
Natural Cas- will escape in pleasing and
Intoxicating whiffs at OBrien's opera
house, when Eddie Girard, Frank O'Brien,
Miss Molly Thompson and host of 9TH
ers will be seen to advantage in Donnely
&. Girards success of successes.
..Natural Cas- is a comedy full of nat
ural. though ludcpous, situations, and the
fun is of the spontaneous kind that charms,
delights and spreads pleasantly uncon-
fined. The play is exceedingly bright; in
fact, that's the reason, partly, of its great
success. The support of Mr.. Girard Is
extraordinarily strong, and testimonial
OF this is evidenced by crowded houses
everywhere.
During the past summer the play was
revised until at present it is fully abreast
With the times. The scenery is all just
from the brush of the painter, the cos
tunes are all pretty. and. above all. the
performers are all peculiarly suited for
their respective roles. Mr.. Girard was last
seen here in 1.-THE Rainmalsers, and his
eccentric dancing was the greatest hit of
the show, which, by the way, gave more
genuine satisfaction to the square inch
than any farce comedy before or since. In
Natural Cas- he is seen to better advant-
age than in THE Rainmakers."
A Turkish Bath

It. Managers Grambs and Thiess. at Thurs
day matinee and night. are not going to
give every patron real Turkish BATH but
they are going to present farce comedy
under the name of "a Turkish Bath"
which Is equally as clean, wholesome and
refreshing in effect. "A Turkish Bath is
one of those foaming, frothy things which
has little or no plot, but Is in reality a
capsule condensation of good farce COM
edy. When the author wrote the play he
did it only for fun, and fun alone. In do
ing this he committed am act which has

During one of the severe battles
fought in which several Vermont reg
lments were engaged, the company Of
which he (Mr. Blake) was Chaplain
was "lying on its arms" expecting
any minute to be called into action.
While. awaiting orders Mr.. Blake
stepped in front of his company and
uncovering his head repeated in a
clear voice the XCI Psalm he then
asked all who would 60 into the bat.

step forward. Upwards of a score
responded, hardly had they stepped
back to place when the order to ad.

tie was done and as soon as this com
pany could "report" it was found that
over half their. number was missing
wounded or killed, Think be said.
Again the Chaplain stepped out and
asked all Of those who had at his first
call stepped out to do so again.

DEAR BRoTYERs AND SISTERS 81
take this method of informing you Of
ficially and authoritatively, of a faci
that is well known among most o.
you, namely that desire to sever m,
pastoral relations with this Church,
The time has come when | think that
this step is necessary for the best
good OF both pastor and people. In
severing my relations with you, de
sire 10 express my high appreciation
of you all for the many acts Of Kind
ness that has been shown us during
the five years we have been among
,ou.
In certain ways and by many Cir
cumstances, we are bound to South
Londonderry, by ties and associations
that can never be broken nor forgot
ten, and l am sure that wherever th,
Lord may be pleased to have us labor,
the South Londonderry Church ant
people shall always be held in great.
ful and loving remembrance by us
| am actuated in this step by no self.
ish motive, but simply and wholly
that may do more and better work
for my Master whose l am and whom
| serve.
Therefore | ask that as a Church
and society you release me as your
Pastor and accept this resis nation
he same to take effect the last Sab.
oath in December of the present
Year.
Atfectionately your Pastor,
NEWELL A. WooD.
ACCEPTANCE.
In behalf of the Baptist church and

Whereas, our beloved pastor, Rev.

to change his field of labor, and has
presented his resignation of the pas
torate Of the Baptist church and SO

Resolved, that in accepting his res,
igualion, we desire to place on record
The fact that during their residence
among us our brother and sister WOOD
nave greatly endeared themselves to
this church and community by theil
Kindly Christian spirit and their ear
nest and Jealous labors among us,
chat it gives US much sorrow that they
have felt constrained to leave our
midst, and that our prayers and best
wishes will accompany them to the
new field of labor into which the
providence of God has called them.
