"The Offering as a Part OF the Worship"
was the theme of the sermon by Rev. Il.
T. George at Trinity Methodist church Bun
day morning. He said In part:
IF we turn to the lexicon we can find no
explanation OF worship that does not con-
tain the idea OF an offering. We learn tho
same thing from the Bible. The old ccre-
monial worship was not complete without
an offering. II Is very clear. plain and
definite there.
The attitude OF the individual toward
law depends on his relation TO the law. Tho
man who does not want to desecrate the
Sabbath does not complain about the laws
against Sabbath dissertation. II we enjoy
reading Gods word. II there Is something
there to cheer and comfort us, we love TO
read It and it does not need any command
to make us read It. SO 1t is in all OF Gods
law. II our relationship with God Is such
as It should be II needs no exhortation to get
us to go to church, Sunday school and
prayer meeting. II we want to do the right
thing bad enough we will do II.
solution of Many Problems.
"Our offering ought TO be free. II ought
to be willingly given. The offering Is a
part Of our worship. II we looked at It In
that way the problems OF hundreds Of
church boards would be solved.

a victim, and who finally found what she
thought was the way to happiness only TO
have her dreams rudely interrupted. But,
through the Intervention Of a good man,
all came right In the end. 1t has a cosy
country atmosphere, and in oil ways Is
most enjoyable. Director Kirk has provided
a fine setting for each OF the four acts
and achieves some genuine triumphs In
realism.
The piece has the further advantage OF
giving to Mr.. Beamish the best chance he
has had since his opening bill, and he
makes the most of his opportunity. He has
a fine character and It is finely played. Mr..
morrison is quite at home in the role OF a
romantic lover and leaves nothing to be
desired by his work. Mr.. Kirk. Mr.. Poulter,
Mr.. Wallock, Mr.. Derante, Mr.. schrode and
Mr.. Klotz contribute well developed char
acter studies to the action OF the play.
Miss Fleming, dressed plainly. looks, II
possible, even more charming than in the
elaborate gowns OF a lady OF fashion. She
brings all her powers OF sympathetic por-
trayal to the role of Helen Gray. Miss
Power is the rich young woman who also
wants to win the hand Of the young school
master, Miss Spencer is the Grabbed old
gossip OF the village and Miss Duke is the
impertinent tomboy Of the play.
