CLUB ENTERTAINMENT AT

MRS. GAYLE's.
 One of the most charming of club functions was the social meeting with which. on "Wednesday afternoon. the No Name Club closed the program of 1s04AB.
 Inviting their friends to meet with them in the beautiful suburban home of Mrs. W. A. Gayle, the literary treat afforded was a suggestive, stimulating and eloquent address by Dr. A J. Rice on the Literature of the Bible.
 The exercises were opened with "A Song of Spring" Arditi's composition. artistically given by Mrs. Merritt Van diver to whose pure and clear soprano Mrs. Gayle played the plano accom- panimenf, as encore Mrs. Vandiver sang Because Love You"
 Introduced by the President, Mrs. James Andrew, Dr. Rice courteously expressed the pleasure he felt in speak activities are devoted to broader culture and nobler life, and at once proceeded to talk informally yet in the most inspiring way on the life of the IsraelItes as 1t translated itself into the Scriptures. Glancing briefly at the pre-Iiterary period. he spoke next of the period of hero stories; then. that of the prophetic movement which be- gan with Amos; he dwelt luminously on the philosophical movement with its principal exponent. Job in exile; he described the legalistic movement when the details os the law were put in final form, and the, by-product of that move menf as illustrated by the exquisite idyl of Ruth and the tragedy of Jonah; then the liturgical movement. when the songs of the church were gradually col Iected and became the bcok of Psalms. used now in the hymnology of every church which worships Davids God. and, lastly. tlte apocalyptic movement.
