NANCE O'NEIL is A
SUCCESSFUL MAGDA

Nance O'Neil is successful in her por-
trayal of "Magda,' because she invests
1t with that foreign air which makes her
unlike all the other (domestic) characters.
Notwithstanding her longing for peace
and her expressions for love for her sis
ter and father, one knew she did not fit
in these surroundings, and from the very
moment she entered her home it was easy
to foresee a catastrophe. In 'Magda," as
in The Jewess," we have one scene that
displays the dramatic instinct of the art
iste. In the latter it was in the "curse
scene,' in the former the accusation
scene. How dignified and proud; how
beautiful in her just wrath was this trag-
edienne when her Magda accused her
faithless lover of his cowardice, his viii
lainy and dishonor in scathing terms of
sarcasm! How she enveloped him with
burning words of anger. How she stabbed
him with the dagger of ire! Only an
actress who puts her very soul into her
defamation can obtain results such as
ornament the performance of Nance
ONeil. ALFRED METZGER.

WORRY AND NOT WORK
THAT KILLS MEN

Don't Worry" was the title of ser.
mon delivered last night by Rev e. Ne
lander before the congregation of the
First English Lutheran Church. He chose
as his text Take therefore no thought -
Matthew VITA. In part, he said:
It is not work that kills men; it is worry.
A genuine Christian never worries be,,at,se
God is managing his affairs. To him God
says: Il have all the resources OF tho
universe; when you get in trouble call on
Me and l will help" How much should
that man worry? What lion will dare put
his paw on that Daniel? The Stoics would
say. what can't be cured must be en-
dured." The Christian philosophy is bet
ter: "All things work together for good
to them that love God" Christ meant man
to be happy; this life to be as happy as
the next. Did ever a tomorrow or a darker
order stand before any soul than stood be
fore his? Yet he not allow tho H,rk
tomorrow to invade the bright to-day.
Sufficient unto the day was ,,le
held! Tomorrow is Gods. When it comes
God comes with 1t. and in His strength We
live, believe, obey!

REV. GEORGE c. ADAMS
Is WELCOMED HOME

A welcome service of song was given at
the First Congregational Church last
night, the occasion being the return Of
the pastor, Rev. George c. Adams, DID.
from vacation trip through the United
States DR.. Adams visited his old home
at Portland, Me-. and attended the Inter
national Congregational Council at Bos-
ton, Mass, in September. At Providence,
r. l., he preached before the American
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Ma
tions.
As the service was of a choral nature
DR.. Adams omitted the sermon and only
addressed a few brief remarks on ..The
Congregational National Council" He
said in part:
You cannot in these days of personal
freedom dictate to a church as to what
it shall or shall not do. rhe American
spirit of liberty is gaining in the church
In Congregationalism there is nothing
smothered. We talk right out Nobody
has a right to tell a Congregationalist to
keep silent; if they do he has a right to
tell them he won't" "
DR.. Adams expressed his qualification
at being in San Francisco again.

The first wagering on the forthcoming

ELOQUENT DISCOURSE
BY FATHER MCCOURT

Father McCourt preached an eloquent
and forcible sermon at old ST. Mary's
Church last night. A large congregation
listened to mis- address with the closest
attention. His text was, 81 forgive thee
all the debt because thou besoughtest
me. Shouldst not thou then have had
compassion on thy fellow servant. even
as l had compassion on thee?'' The
preacher said, in part
1t that one of the most dlf6
cult virtues TO acquire, and one OF the
hardest TO practice, is that virtue spoken of
today in the Gospel-that of forgiveness of
injuries; and yet 1t is the virtue to which
Let the words OF to-days Gospel be a warn
ing to you. The wicked servant had been
freed from a heavy debt. yet he refused To
show Ike favor TO a fellow servant who
owed him a beggarly tri1e And his lord
being angry. delivered him to the tortlIres
until he should pay all the debt SO also
shall my heavenly Father do to you If you
forgive not every one his brother from
your hearts.
