Yesterday at the home of little
Miss Gertrude Mordhorst, 521 Thir-
ty-eighth street, a number of her lit
tie girl and boy friends gathered to

day anniversary. She received many
nice presents to remember them by.
The little folks played games on the

this school. 1t has taken us months
to gain permission to tear down the
wall which cut our property In two,
but even now the Koreans are at work
levelling it, and are preparing the
foundation for the girls building, and
the means for building this school
were given by Broadway church.
What does all this mean? This was
the wickedest city of the country of
Korea II years ago, and now the Cos
pei is spreading all over it. 1t simply
means that Jesus Christ is making
good. The most beautiful thing I ever
say was not a beautiful painting, or
pretty landscape, or a grand expanse
of mountain scenery, but witnessing
the development of Christian home
among a heather people. Formerly,
among all Koreans, the girls and
women amounted to naught. They
were bought and sold like cattle, but
now where there is Christianity this is
not so. The missionary has changed
1t.
Christianity Instills Hope.
You can tell by the songs of peo-
pie what their character is. BY the
songs sang by the Korean before the
arrival of the missionary you can tell
what their spirit was. They were
songs of despair and the Korean was
ever fearful of old age. when he should
leave this world and become but a
mound upon the hillside. The mission
airy has taught them new song, that
they are saved by the blood of the

"eREAr pIvIpEr TOMORROW.

"The Great Divide" William
Vaughn Moody's extraordinarily sue
cessfuI play, which has been declar-
ed by many critics as the greatest
drama of western life yet written in
the history of the American stage,
will be the attraction at the Illinois
tomorrow evening and the manage
ment anticipates a capacity audience,
for II great play is undoubtedly
one of the attractions which all dis
eliminating patrons of the theatre
throughout all America are awaiting
eagerly. The career of THE Great
Divide" is unprecedented in America
theatrical history. Here at last is a
play that is splendid literature, great
drama technically, and at the same
til. e fas, netting to the Spectator and
of the greatest commercial value. 1t
his been termed the long awaited
great American play 1t is as
big IL conception and broad in treat
nent as the picturesque portion of
the far west in which the first two
acts are laid-the Rocky mountains,
the great divide between the east and
west 1t tells of the strange wooing
of an eastern woman and an Arizona
prospector, representing the conflict
between the free untrammelled spirit
of the west and the rigid conven-
tioDa'ity and uncompromising tradi-
tions of the east. The play possesses
great literary quality as well as
clever dialogue, replete with scintil-
lating epigram, yet at the same time
it is intensely dramatic rare COM
bin'ation indeed. Critics have been
unprecedently unanimous in accord
ing The Great Divide" the unstint-
ed praise as being the best American
romance ever staged. A superb COM
III ny has been provided and the pro-
duction is the same that won such
lavish praise during the 500 nights
run of "The Great Divide" at the
Princess and Days theatres and the
Academy of Music, New York. where
the play was seen by over half mill
lion people.
