Opera Company last night was the
first Of any repertoire company to
Pensacola in several seasons. This
fact at once is sufficient to popularize
the engagement. Judging from the
presentation Of last nights opera the
company is one of unusual strength,
pres enting the extraordinary line of
attraction that it advertises.
In last nights play the company
was well costumed, which is always
important to the success Of an opera
and is unusually proficient in singing
and music.
AS Martha" in last nights opera,
Nadge Caldwell, the company's prima
donna, was superb. In the several So
los belonging to the part Miss Cald-
well established herself rs a favorite
with her audience and from her
first appearance she was greeted
with applause. Perhaps her most
pleasing number last night was The
Last Rose OF Summer" the most popu
lar song Of the opera, rendered In the
third act. Next to Miss Caldwell with
last nights audience was Charley Full
ton as Lionel" Mr. Fulton pos
sesses an unusually pleasing tenor
and his solos and especially his duets
with the prima dona last night were
pleasing.
AS the leading comedy role THE
Sheriff" was admirable played by
ilbur Cox.

Civilization and Missions.

There is a question that is larger
than government or trade, and that Is
the moral w~ell-being of the vast mil
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
r%esentative of the Christian religion
must hate his place side by side with
the maj of government and trade, and
for generations hat representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue a blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well-being, it also
stands for an orderly individual Hber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.
