THE LITTLE MINISTER,

j. NJ. Barrie's dramatization of this
famous novel the Little Minister" will
be seen here at the Grand Opera House on
Saturday, April Goth. 1t will be present.
cd by Charles Frohlnan's Company, one
which he has especially selected to pre- sent
this successful comedy. The characters,
as every one knows who has read the
novel are all peculiar types, therefore 1t
has been hard matter to get the proper
people to present them. Mr. Frohman
has taken especial pains to give tho
comedy the caste that will In every way
do justice to it. Those who have seen the
Little Minister" say that the dramatiza-
tion Is fully as good, ifnot better than the
the story. Mr.. Barrie. 1t is said has given
us q delightful play. Everyone Is prob
ably familiar with the remarkable success
that this play has achieved. A play that
has been given for 800 performances, and
every one Of them attended by an audience
that packed the theatre to the doors, cor
tainly must have great deal Of merit in
it. Not only was this so during the long
engagement In New York, but ever since
1t has left New York the business has
been Of the same order. As soon as the
announcement is made that 1t Is to. DO
seen, there is at once big demand for
seats, and long before the company ar
rives every seat is generally sold. Tho
seat sale opens at the box office Thursday
at Q a. m.

NOTHING TO Paw, 10 DO. OR 70 FEAR

Y
Nothing TO pay?-no, not a whit; &
Nothing to do?-ilo, not bit.
All that was needed to do or to pay
Jesus has done, in his own blessed
way.
Nothing to do?-no, not a stroke,
Gone is the captcr. goneis the yoke;
Jesus at Calvary severed the chain,
And none can imprison His freemen
again.
Nothing to fear?-no, not a jot;
Nothing unclean?-no, not a spot;
Christ is my peace and I've nothing
at stake,
Satan canneither harass nor shake.
Nothing of guilt?-no, not a stain,
How could the blood let any remain.
My conscience is purged and my
spirit is free,
Precious that blood is to God and
to me!
What of the law? -ah, then Irejoice
Christ answered its claim and ST.
fenced its voice. .,
The law was fulfilled, when the work
was all done,
And it never can speak to a justified
one.
What about death?-it hasn't a
sting;
The grave to Christian, no terror
can bring,
For death has been conquered, the
grave has been spoiled, ~
And every foeman and enemy foiled.
Nothing to settle?-all has been paid
Nothing of anger?-peace has been
made.
Jesus alone is the sinners resource
Peace he has made, by the blood Of
His cross.
What about judgment?-Tm thank
tul to say,
Jesus has met it and borne it away;
Drank it all up, when he hung on
the tree,
Leaving cupful of blessing for me.
What about terror?-it hasn't
place
In heart that is filled with a sense
of'His grace.
My peace is divine and it never can
cloy
And that makes my heart ever bub-
Bile with joy.
What about feeling?-ah, trust not
to them,
What of my standing?-who shall
condemn?
Since God isfor me, there is nothing
so clear,
From Satan and men, I've nothing
tofear.
What of my body?-ah, that l may
bring
To God, as holy, acceptable thing
For that is the temple where Jesus
abides,
The temple where God by His spirit
resides.
Nothing to pay?-No, thanks be to
God,
The matter is settled, the price was
the blood,
The blood OF the victim, a ransom
divine,
Believe it, poor sinner, and peace
shall be thine.
What am ! waiting for? Jesus, my
Lord
To take down the tent and roll up
the cord;
To be with himself in the mansion
above,
Enjoying forever His infinite Love.
