MATTERS OF INTEREST
BEFORE TILE PRESBYTERY
Mortgage Tax on Church Property,
Evangelistic Work and Other
Subjects Engage Attention.

The San Francisco Presbytery's
meeting at the Presbyterian Welsh
church. Fourteenth street, near Va
lencia, was largely attended yesterday.
The new moderator, Alexander H. Nc
Donald, presided.
A request was received for the sup
port of the assembly's new committee
of the Young Peoples Christian En-
deavor work. The matter was re-
fcrred to the Young Peoples societies
of San Francisco.
The subject of mortgage tax on
church property was discussed and it
was said that DIR. White of the Gen.
eral Assembly was desirous of making
a test case of the tax. Another mat
ter brought up was evangelistic work
ir the city, and it was conceded that it
needed weeks instead of days to do
effective work in San Francisco. The
Rev. t. NJ. Boyd in speaking of the
circulating library connected with
churches said that novels and trashy
literature were found in some Libraries,
which showed that care should be TAX

WILL PRESENT
"DANTE"' DRAMA
Gentlemen'S SOdality Pre-
pare for It's Production at
st. Ignatius College Hall

Dante" is the title of the drama that
has been diligently rehearsed for two
months, under the management of Pro-
fessor Nichols, by the Gentlemen's So
dality Dramatic Club, and which will
be presented at st. Ignatius College
Hall for three nights, Monday, We'd
nesday and Friday, October "A, 26 and
2S. 1t was written in the early part Of
this year by Rev. ]. F. X. O'Conor, the
author of many we'll known historical
and biographical works and who is
president of the Dante class in ST. Jo-
seph's College, Philadelphia
The presentation of Dante" in the
Eastern colleges and cities of the East
in June and July was witnessed by
many Dante readers, distinguished
scholars, as well as critics, who were
loud in their praise of its dramatic
merit.
Rev. Father O'Conor was inspired to
write this play by the fact that Sardou,
the French playwright, wrote play
last year called Dante" So false, he
says, was it to history that almost
every scholar and Danteist was shock
ed at his portrayal of Dante as a bad,
immoral man, which, of course, was
for stage effect.
Notwithstanding Sir Henry Irving's
impersonation of Dante, it was driven
off the American stage in a very short
time.
The Eastern newspapers were loud in
their praises Of Father O'Conor's YER
sion and among the distinguished au-
dience at its initial presentation was
the apostolic delegate, Monsignor Fall
conf. his Eminence Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop Ryan, Archbishop Farley,
Archbishop Ireland and many Cabinet
Ministers, as well as the great Dante
scholar, Charles Eliot Norton, president
of the Dante Society of Boston.
Rev. Father Butler, s. j., director of
sodality is much indebted TO the au-
thor. who kindly sent him several books
Of his play as well as many other use
ful hints as to the presentation, and 1t
is needless to say after the many sue

amateurs of st. Ignatius Sodality be-
fore the footlights in the past in "Da-

SUNDAY SCHOOL
GETS NEW idea
Plymouth Adopts Novel Plan
to Secure Recruits and Is
Gathering Boys and Girls
CELEBRATE BY DINNER
Young People Start Move
ment That Is Interesting
Entire Western Addition

Pie, cake and like viands are the
prizes that await the outcome of a
novel experiment in getting members
for the Plymouth Congregational
Church Sunday-school, in which the
competitors are all the girls of the
Sunday-schooI on one side and all the
boys of the school on the other.
The contest began recently and Is
now fairly under way. The under
standing is that the boys or the girls
shall at certain time furnish
dinner for the entire school, the losers
to be the providers. There is no lack
of good dinners in the Western Ad-
dftion, wherein is the field of labor
of Plymouth Congregational Church.
and only rivalry prompts the boys
and girls to make extra eXertions to
gather the young people of their ac-
quaintance into the Sunday-school,
but that is sufficient to serve as a
stimulus.
The neighborhood of the church has
built up largely of late. Flats and
apartment houses have been erected
and have been speedily tenanted by a
good class of citizens. Whole blocks
of land that have been kept out of
the market for many years until re-
Gently have been covered with build
ings. Where there were sandhills
there are now we'll filled homes.
Probably a perception of the larger
opportunities afforded spurred the
Plymouth Sunday-school people to
activity. Whatever the cause may be,
the effect of the project, which is
still new. has been to create great in
terest. There are many churches in
the Western Addition, and their
members have heard of the Plymouth
Church move. Good results have been
noticed. Greater ones are expected.
