e." PRISCILLA. :"
THE POPULAR OPERA TO BE
GIVEN IN HANCOCK HALL.
TWO PERFORMANCE THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY EVENINGS, JUNE 30 AND
30-MABEL MONAGHAN AS
"PRISCILLAn.

The dates for the production OF the
comic opera "Priscila", under the auspi-
ces Of the Ellsworth festival chorus, have
been decided upon; there will be two
performances, Thursday and Friday even
ings, June 20 and 30.
There has been change In the cast as
previously announced-Mr. Cooke, who
feels that he cannot sing the part OF
Higgins, being replaced by A. K.
Cushman. Rehearsals are going merrily
on, and under the competent in
struction OF Mr.. Macomber, the chorus,
as well as the principals, IL max
ing surprising progress. There are about
forty in the chorus, nearly all the mem
bers being also members OF the Ellsworth
festival chorus
The only stranger to an Ellsworth
audience in the cast Is MIR. Waterhouse,
who is to take the part Of "John Alden.
He wss one OF the soloists at the Bangor
music festival last fall, and all who heard
him on that occasion know what to ex-
pect from him as a singer. He Is a Maine
boy, having been born in Portland in
1874. His musical career began in that
city when very young; his musical field
has rapidly broadened, and though stia
youth, he is iavorably known through
out New England. Mr.. Warehouse is a
student at the Episcopal theological
seminary at cambridge.
OF Miss Monaghan 1t is needless to
speak at length; her "Priscila", not to
mention her other successes, Is fresh in
the memories of this community, and she
will doubtless prove quite as pretty
"Plgrim' now as she did in the earlier
performance.
The tickets will be placed on sale at
j. A. Cunningham store next Saturday
morning, beginning at I O'Clock.
The proceeds Of the performances are
for the benefit OF the Ellsworth festival
chorus, and 1t is hoped that the public
will be very liberal in its patronage.

in tue several departments. NO school
in New England will be better equipped
in this particular" says Supt. stetson.

these certificates. There Will be two ses-

HAS 1T BEEN IN The RUBBISH.

Toe popularity of Mr.. SheIdon's
books is a matter Of astonjshment
Two or three million copios of his books
have baen sold in England alone. They
have received notice IN the columns OF
the mlst iUh Iential journals on both
sides of the sea. No book, since Ia
Gle Toms Cabin" was written, has
caused such enthusiasm
The key-shought of Mr.. Sheldon's
books is that We should initiate Christ
IN the practical experience Of daily
life. The author presses home to young
men and old the prime question,
What would Jesus Dos" Christ as a
Divine ExsmpIar ia held up beiore the
millions Of earth.
Such q foundation truth, in the
hands Of n who knows how to write
English, and is bold enough to apply
the probe in tender spots and tear IF
masks, should certainly insure for the
book a liberal patronage. But why
should this patronage be phenomenal
Mr.. Sheldon teaches no new doctrine.
He simply reiterates what Christ
made one Of the conditions of disci-
pleship nearly 1900 years ago. 1t is
the fundamental teaching OF the Chris.
tian Church that every Christian must
make a practical application to his
own life Of the truth that we must fol
low In the footsteps of Ohris5-do as He
would do. This explains why Mr..
Sheldon's books have had such a large
sale. The fact is not com ELEMENTARY
to the ministry of our E yangelistical
churches. We are afraid that the
truths illustrated in Mr.. Sneldon's
books and appearing 80 fresh and origi
nal as tt comm8nt an enormous CT Gu
latioD, have been hidden in the rubbish
We are afraid that Christ in our pulp t
and private teaching has not received
sufficient prominence as the Chr for
every day life as we'll as for the Sat-
bath; the Christ Of the workshop as
we'll al for the closet; the Christ to be
followed as well IS to be loved.
Let US bring the old truth from the
hiding place, clothe it as Mr.. Sheldon
has clothed it, present it as Mr. Shel
don has presented it, and a large mum
