sinner God loves us and clings to us
clings 10 her children. l asked a dear
friend of mine some time ago who
was the favorite among her many chill
dren. She answered. Il love the young
est best until he is grown. and the alb
sent one best until he returns, and the
sick one best until he gets we'll" Yes,
l said TO myself. And the prodigal
best until he comes back to mothers
love" SO God clngs to- his hayward
ones. The more we sin the more he
wants us by his side and the more he
pleads with us and clings to us.
Do we not find this fact true In refer
ence to Judas life? When Christ knew
that Judas was TO betray him, did he
drive Judas from his side? No: that
was not Christ's way. He kept Judas
with him clear up to end. He seems
to be saying all the time. "Oh. Judas,
why wilt thou betray the Son of MANI"
One OF the last acts of christ's earthly
life was to honor Judas above all his
brethren when he gave to him the sop
at the supper. The giving of the sop
was an act of love. not of hate. So
Christ today Is pleading with you and
me. We may spit In his face, as did
those who led him forth for crucifixion:
we may place crown Of thorns upon
his head: we may betray him with
kiss. as did Judas. but we cannot make
Christ cease to love us. Oh. my friends.
will not you and yield to this love OF
Jesus Christ. which passeth all human
understanding? We have wandered
far, far away. but Christ is today still
loving us. Will you accept his pardon
Ing love? Will YOU accept It now?
Worldwide Invitation.
This Is worldwide invitation which
| am giving you to come to the saving
cross. Indeed. so great, so far reach
Ing are the possibilities of human re-
demption through Christ. that while
was writing this sermon in the quie-
tude of my study the thought arose:
How do | know that Judas was eter-
nally destroyed? God changed his
mind in reference to the Ninevites
when they repented OF their sins. How
do / know that Judas. even when he
was dangling on the end Of that rope,
did not make such supplication as
brought him within the influence of
the divine Fathers forgiving love?
Perhaps in the death struggle Judas
called upon Christ for rescue. If he
did. who shall say that Christ did not
pardon him? He could pardon Judas
sins just as he forgave Paul's. who
was the ''chicf of sinners" II Judas
did call for divine forgiveness, / know
he received it. just as the penitent
thief. as Mary Magdalene. as the wo-
man Of Samaria. received forgiveness
when repentant. Just as freely as you
can he forgiven today. Oh. my friends.
with such Il divine love surrounding us.
will you not throw yourself upon the
mercy and atonement of Christ. which
have saved in the past. which save
now and which will save through all
time? The cross can be changed into
a crown by changing the last two let
tiers. Remorse can be changed into
triumph II today. in Christ's mercy.
you will reach up and look and live.

ployees, 5000; agents and
assistants, $50; song-writers,
dramatists, etc, $50. Of
the players mentioned forty
five hundred are employed
steadily, and receive weekly
salaries on an average of
something over fifty dollars
each. These people have in
vested in wardrobe, scenery,
music, plays and one thing
or another necessary to their
work over million and a
half, and pay to the rail
roads of the country a sum
in excess of twenty-one
thousand dollars weekly.
The theaters devoted to
vaudeville expend an enor-
nous sum for providing
their patrons with enter
tainment. Including the
cost of operating the play
houses, this amounts to an
expenditure of close to six
hundred thousand dollars

every week that the theaters remain open-and
a large number of them running steadily the
year round 1t is a conservative estimate to state
that fifty million dollars is spent annually for vaude
vile. The gross receipts at all the vaudeville
theaters from the three and half million patrons
at average of twenty-five cents each, will run
to nine hundred thousand dollars week.
Some idea of the progressive quality of vaudeville
may be gained when it is stated that there is an
intense rivalry among the different managers for
mertorious novelties; such rivalry, in fact, as
has been mentioned to require weekly
penditure during the height of the season of six
hundred thousand dollars
1t has been charged that vaudeville is cheap and
caters to the lower orders of humanity and that
fails altogether in artistic appeal to the public.
Yet the vaudeville BILL consisting of eight to ten or
more features or turns costs considerably
than the average dramatic payroll of first-class
company. In many instances it is double even

field, and this for only fifty
minutes work each day.
Israel Zangwill found a
worthy exposition of his
talents as a playwright
at Proctor's Twenty-third
Street Theater when he
wrote and staged for Miss
Isabelle Irving his little play,
six Persons. George AIDE
has written three comedies
for vaudeville purposes; and
Hartley Manners play, "A
Queens Messenger, has long
served as a vehicle for the
talents of Miss Jessie Mill
ward. Robert billiard,
known to a generation of
play-goers,4 has found a pleas
ing experience in vaudeville
with three one-act plays.
To his latest, LAS a Man
Sows," he will devote him
self all of the coming season.

the amusement of the public through the medium
of the vaudeville theater this charge may be dis
missed incompetent and of no value.
In vaudeville also may be found all that is best
in the line of scientific achievement, and recent
demonstrations in the theaters of the marvellous
qualities of liquid air. radium wireless biography
and a dozen other kindred discoveries, have done
more to educate the public to the possibilities of
modern scientific discovery and invention than
thousand popular lectures could have accomplished
The artistic work of the vaudeville theater stands
on the highest plane. When twelve thousand in
dividuals lend their efforts to the promotion of
thing, it is evident at that that thing
must ahead. In vaudeville to-day to be
found some of the best-known men and women of
the stage Clyde Fitch has not deemed it de-
grading unworthy of his talents to write for it,
and his one-act play, Frederic Lemaitre, is being
used vehicle for the talents of Henry Miller
Mr. Millers abilities are well-known and it may be
mentioned that in vaudeville he commands salary
nearly four times that he received in the Legitimate

understood and much-derided amusement W
industry by the following remark:
Vaudeville is creative and progressive
in its character In behalf of the
who conduct that class of entertainment,
| can say emphaticay that there no
other places of amusement whose stages
are generally free from suggestive :
or questionable scenes or incidents than N
the houses maintained by the managers
of this class of theatrical performance. ~
Indeed in vaudeville the relations of the -
family circle and of good taste always
respected. Each year further i'm
provement in the class of material offered, N
and the whole tone is of healthy energy IN
and prosperity"
This may be regarded as the first recog-
milton of vaudeville as a real and potent
factor in the amusement supply of the
nation. Yet vaudeville is thing,
for the present-day form of it con-
ceived twenty-four years ago in a little oblong
room on the first floor of a ramshack1e building on
Westinghouse, Boston. Since that time it has
advanced until to-day it means something more
than those whose interest in it is confined to the
announcements in the daily papers would believe.
To begin with, there is invested in the vaudeville
enterprises of this country little than twenty
six million dollars distributed among three hundred
theaters More than twelve thousand persons find
their living in vaudeville in way or another
and the public is sufficiently interested to expend
nearly million week in admission fees
Vaudeville offers an easy and pleasant means of
livelihood to some seventy-fve hundred players of
all classes The vaudeville artist in some respects
is better of than his fellow in the Legitimate"
branch of the profession for his salary almost
always is paid regularly and seldom if ever is there
heard tale such many returning actors tell of
hardships the road.
The twelve thousand persons who find their live
1ihood in vaudeville may be divided approximately
as follows: Players or artists, 1900; theater

provided the hair be black Blond hair
will give way at varying weights, de
pendent upon the exact tint. A yellow
hair will scarce support two ounces. 9
brown will hold up three without
breaking, while very dark brown will
sustain an additional half ounce.
The greater vitality Of the black hair
Is declared to be the reason for the pre-
ponderance Of blond bald heads, and,
according to this experimenter, per

full growth while the blond will have
been bald for seven and half years.

The new correspondence course in
elements OF agriculture starts out 1n.
der very favorable conditions. Par.
ticularly favorable Is the enrolment
OF q large class. The students have
the privilege Of enrolling at any time
and new enrollments are being re.

In the correspondence course. Mr..

duties at the college December IL.
The agricultural division DIS getting
out circulars outlining its teachers
course. This course requires two
years for completion, the first year
covers allibranches for a second grade
certificate, and the second year covers
all additional branches for first
grade certificate with nature study

peatedJ each term makes It possible
for the student to complete this work
during any one OF the three terms OF
the year.
The state superintendent Of public
instruction has agreed to accept, In
lieu Of teachers certificates, standings
Of 80 per cent or better earned In
the teachers course.
The class now engaged In resident
work In elements Of agriculture num-
bers over fifty students and the pros
poets are bright for much larger

a. great question yet to be solved in
our colleges is the domestic service
problem. The stigma of inferiority
which has long been attached to the
working girl has caused many girl,
who would prefer domestic work, to
seek employment In the Office, shop
or factory to work longer and more
tiresome hours at harder work.
( A great advance in solving the do
nestle service problem has been made
at this college. There is in the col
lege curriculum a domestic science
course where the girls are taught
the science Of foods, their compost
tion, naltritive value, etc, and sewing.
They are taught in a series Of lee
lures how to light, heat and ventilate
a house and to care for 1t after it is
finished
The course Is much favored, by the
girls, who find it interesting and very
helpful and It Is a most fitting ac-
compartment for the young woman
who desires fully to occupy her place
