The Sunday School Lesson SimpIified
for the Children.
The Shunammite's Son.

2nd Kings 4-25 to 81.
Now we will have some lesson stories
about the prophet whom Elijah chose
to take his place. For you know. Elijah
was taken up to heaven in whirlwind,
as we learned last Sabbath. And now
Elisha is at his work going from place to
place teaching the people to be good.
He never stayed long in one place, but
he had many places where he called
home and would stop for ii day or two.
He often visited the little city of Shunam
where lived kind lady who gave Elisha
a room SO he could stop and rest there
whenever he pleased. Elisha was very
grateful for this and wished that he
might be able to repay this woman's
kindness. And the opportunity came
in this way: The woman had little
boy, her only child, and as he went out
in the harvest field one day he got sun
struck and was carried home to his
mother very sick and soon died. The
poor woman laid the cold lifeless body
of her child on the bed and went to find
Elisha, who was then at mount Carmel,
about sixteen miles from her home at
Shunam. Elisha and his servant lived
in the side of the mountain and they
could see her coming long before she
was near enough to speak and Elisha
sent his servant, Gehazi, to meet her, but
when they met the woman passed right
on until she came to where Elisha was
and told him her little boy was dead.
Then Elisha told his servant 10 take his
staff and run to the woman's house and
lay the staff Oh the child, but the woman
would not go back home unless Elisha
went too. So he went with her and they
met Gehazi who said the child was dead.
Then Elisha went into the room where
the little boy lay dead and stretched
himself upon the child and it became
warmer. Then he walked up and down
the room and think he talked with God;
then went and stretched himself upon
the child again and it opened its eyes.
Then he called the mother, and Oh! how
glad she must have been to have her
little boy alive again. God gave her
back her little boy for Elishas sake, and
he will bless us for Jesus sake. Let us
trust Him. j. A. KERR.

Were it definitely known that the YER

Academy-"At Piney Ridge"

David Higgins, the author-actor made
the initial appearance of his return en-
gagement at the Academy of Music last
night in his pretty mountain romance,
AT Piney Ridge" In all that goes to
make a piece picturesque and unconven-
tional the author has succeeded, posi-
bly, a little better than the actor. In
the latter capacity, Mr.. Higgins appears
as the young mountaineer, a part more
trying than appears at first sight. The
play hinges upon the efforts of the viii
lain to prove the hero to be tinged with
colored blood and the efforts of the lat
ter to free himself of the false accusa-
ton. In this "At Piney Ridge" is a tri-
fe similar to "Pudd'nhead Wilson," but
here the resemblance ends.
Georgia Waldron is really charming
little ingenue and her Improvement since
her last appearance here is as notable
and noticeable as ii is gratifying Some
of the scenes between Mr.. Higgins and
Miss Waldron are excellent. The re-
mainder of the cast is exceptionally
good, notably Mrs. Rish and Mr., Muir
ply.
If 1t has not been said before, or in
deed If 1t has, the author-actor can well
be congratulated upon keeping his play
so remarkable free from grating dialect.

LOVE, coURTsHIP, MARRIAGE.
Rev. Or. Hammond Delivers an In
teresting Discourse.

Love, Courtship and Marriage" was
the subject Of a very interesting discourse
delivered last evening by the Rev. w S.
Hammond, before large audience in the
Calvary Baptist Church Sunday
School room. The audience was com
posed Of people of all ages, married and
unmarried
The lecture was given for the benefit
of the Ladies' Mite Society Of the Ten
leytown Baptist Church, the pastor of
which, the Rev. G. W. Cullough, intro
duced the speaker.
Many years ago. DR.. Hammond said.
he delivered a lecture on the same sub
ject, but he was obliged TO confess that
he does not know one-haf as much now
as he thought he did then. The question
is often asked, When do people give up all
hope of marriage? This was once asked
of maiden lady who had passed three
score and ten years, and her reply was
that you must ask someone older than
J. What was true of that old lady may
be taken as true Of ALL Love is a serious
thing. 1t either elevates or degrades the
person who comes under its influence.
DR.. Hammond then discussed the sub
1ect Of love at first sight. He does not
believe In such a thing. and those who do
are fooling themselves. First sight
may create fancy or an impression hut
not love, for love is the outgrowth of es-
TEEN and respect.
DIR. Hammond also discussed co11rtsbin
and marriage. under separate heads. and
related many amusing incidents which
had come under his observation.

Grand-sUncIe Toms Cabin"

The perennial and omnipresent Uncle
Toms Cabin began its yearly engage
ment at the Grand Opera House last
night and, as usual, attracted a large
and enthusiastic audience. Aside from a
brunette Eva, an excellent Tom and a
larger than usual pack of blood hounds
the performance does not vary greatly
from tho usual run, unless the excellent
music and the appearance of the S-foot
black boy be taken into consideration.
Milt Barlow. the old-time minstrel, lends
some attractiveness to a part absolutely
devoid Of anything good, and the ascent
to heaven of the brunette Eva, is just
as soul inspiring as of yore. and posi-
bly, little more so. Mr.. Martin has a
strong combination of circus, dog and
minstrel show, tragedy, comedy, dime
museum and what not. That the COM
bination is a pleasing one could not be
doubted after witnessing the presenta-
ton last night. number of very fair
speciality people with some really good
buck dancers, serve to enliven the show
as does the music of the three bands
and the orchestra.
