DIR. GRAVES HOME LECTURES.
The First Listened TO by n Large
Audience at First Presbyterian.

At the First Presbyterian Church last
night, Rev. DR.. A. 2. Graves delivered
the first of his lectures on Christ in the
Home" to an excellent congregation. He
was introduced by Rev. Arthur j. Smith,
who, in a short address, explained DR..
Graves work and its object.
DR. Graves took as the subject of his
lecture The Conservation to Christ in
the Home" His text he took from Mala-
Chi $40: Bring We all The tithes into the
storehouse that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith
saith the Lord of hosts, if l will not open
you the windows of heaven, and pour you
out blessing, that there shall not be
room enough TO receive it,"
The speaker began by asking his au-
dience two questions, DO you want to
be supremacy happy in this lfe?" and
DO you want to be supremely useful in
this world?" Taking as obvious an affirm
alive answer, he then proceeded to eX-
plain that such conditions of usefulness
and happiness could be achieved by the
conservation of The home to Christ.
Tithes, he explained, in the ancient
scripture meant a tenth part of ones pos
sessions, but in the modern, and Chris
tan Interpretation. it means all that one
has, all that one is, and all that one hopes
to be.
DIR. Graves took in turn each of the
terms of the text and explained and APP
piled them to everyday life, particularly
the home life. lie dwelt particularly on
the fact that while there great multtudes
who professed Christ and the Christian
religion, they seemed to be content with
the mere profession. instead of bringing
into their everyday life the warm and ac-
tive feeling that would enable them to
live for Christ by doing his work.
Tonight DR.. Graves will lecture on
The Religion of Christ In the Home, "
and tomorrow night on Husbands and
Wives in the Homer" Saturday Afternoon
he will address all of the Sunday
school teachers, officers, and workers Of
the city well mothers aud fathers on
the subject of Child Conversion"
Sunday morning he will speak on The
Young Lady in Her Home" in which, be
sides the religious questions, which he will
discuss he Will give his views, from the
ladies' standpoint, on choosing husblnd
and conducting a Courtship. Sunday
night he will deliver a similar address to
young men.
Sunday afternoon he win address an
other meeting similar to that of Saturday
afternoon, TO which the children of the
Sunday schools will be invited.

LITTLE ONES As JACK HORNER.
ChiIdren's Festival for Chi1dren's
Hospital n Jolly Affair.

Hospital jolly Affair.
A Jack Horner' party was given at
Catholic Library Hall yesterday after
noon by the managers of the Chidren's
HOSPITAL and proved a most delightful ar
fair.
The Jack Horner" part of the affair
consisted Of several large pies made OF
paste board and tissue paper which were
filled with plums in the shape of small
presents that would have delighted ne
heart of the redoubtable Horner himself
The necessity of putting in ones thumb
to get out a plum" was obviated, how
ever owing to the number of Horners,
by tying each plum" with a piece Of COL
ored ribbon by which, upon the payment
of five cents, the plums We're drawn out.
There were several of these pies and so
attractive were the plums that If upon
pulling them out the children did not like
Jack felicitate themselves with what a
good boy am T. many of them certainly
paraphased it with what lucky boy
am |"
Another of the games that proved quite
a success was that of feeding the ele-
phant. A large picture OF an elephant was
put upon screen and the children, blind
folded, were required to pin bag Of pea
nuts at the end of his trunk. The one
who succeeded in placing nearest the right
place was rewarded with a beautiful prize.
Refreshments were served throughout
the afternoon.
las the hall as well the games and
the refreshments had been given to the
ladies, the total amount of money taken
in was clear profit.

AT THE THEATER.
"BrOwn's in Town" Not So Clever
Aubrey Co. Again Tonight.


Aubrey Co. Again Tonight.
Browns In Town., farce in three
acts, by Mark e. Swan, who played the
leading role in the piece, was given at
the Theater last night before large au-
dience. The play was good enough as
farces go, and the majority of the people
present seemed TO find enjoyment in the
performance, though to some it was dis
appointment. There is some original NAH
ter in the farce, but nothing new in the
plot or the story. The dialogue is crisp
at times and the action is fast enough TO
hold the interest if one is not too blase.
The company is made up of a clever lot
of people, and their work was creditable
throughout. Those in the company were
Mark Swan, Charles Horn, Webster Gull
lson, Mamie Ward. G. II. Elmer, Miss
Jessie Mae Hall, Affie Warner, Monica
Lee and Fannie Midgley. Miss Hall sang
Coming Thro' the Rye so sweetly that
she was accorded two encoures.
The Aubrey Dramatic Company will re-
sumo its engagement this afternoon with
presentation of "The Ring of Iron" a
comedy drama. Tonight the great racing
play. 1.-The Great Brooklyn Handicap
will be put on. This is one of the strong
est plays in the cOmpany's repertoire, and
as The company has already made strong
impression by the excellence of its per
formances, there viii no doubt be a large
house. The great racing scene, in which
four horses will be seen on the stage, is
strong piece of stage realism.
