Well cast, beautifully costumed and finely appointed in general, the splen- did little play Prince Otto" Is the best thing the present Stock O. has done at the Bijou since Miss Shipman's return to the board of that theatre. The story of the play is an interesting one. has already been given to you in lust enough of an outline to make you want to see it. and its full of delightful scenes and the lines are exciting enough to keep you watching every minute and-but that would be hardly fair-to tell you too much about it. Lawrence McGill plays the title role and is the jolly good fellow cf a Prince to perfection. Gertrude Shipman is charming as the Princess Seraphine. Burt King has T dignified, quiet part, that of Dr. Gotthold which makes him seem like Q new member of the Co, so entirely different it is from anything he has done so far.
 The play opens in the cottage of Kill lian Gottshiem tRobert Lee Allen) where he and his daughte Ottlla (May Abby) make welcome their royal guests with genuine hospitality. The other scenes are equally attractive and the women of the cast wear some stun ming gowns.

Jockey club has an enormous power
and is feared and respected by all who
are subservient to 1t, and yet nobody

that the accusation against Chifney
was entirely wrong and unjust, and he
determined to stand by him at any

were called upon to take action. and

them, intimated to his royal highness

10 THE BAPTIST WOMEN OF
WEST VIRGINIA.
Charleston, W. Va,

May IL, 1908.
The minutes of the last annual
meeting have been to press since ear
ly in January, but they have been I'M
avoidably delayed. We hope that
Baptist women throughout the state
will continue to go forward, allow
ing nothing to hamper them in the
work they ought to do for; the Lord.
At the last meeting of the board,
the question Of holding district in
stitutes, where the most active work
ers may meet and discuss plans for
the work Of the convention.
The board decided to hold two dis
trict Institutes. The meeting Of the
lower. district will, be held in Char
lesion, the upper district at Hinton.
Lower district, PoWellton to Hunt
ington; upper district, Mt Carbon to
Hinton.
The president and members Of the
local society will be responsible for
the program Of their respective dis
tricts.
Speakers provided by The board
for the institute meetings.: Mrs. M
A. w. Thompson, Mrs. M. A. Parker
and Mrs. Mary Stratton.
The board has instructed. the sec
rotary to get out a pamphlet con-
tanning an account of the work and
the workers in the Baptist Wom-
ems Convention. Send an account Of
the work of your society at once
please.
With all our machinery for run
ming our state mission work, we will
fail unless we go about it with faith
and earnest prayer pray We the
Lord Of the harvest is our Lord Is
command. Every Baptist should
kEow our workers by name. There
| IS q large number Of men and WON
Ell who have suffered and sacrificed
to carry forward the work of the

know them better aand as often as
We pray name them to our Father
| Not that He does not know them and
| know all things, but it will increase
our own interest, knowledge. and
love. Christ is able to save to the
uttermOst, but since by man sin en-
tered the world, by man it must be

with God in soul saving. He gives
