Of Interest
sss$se BY m. B. ". sAAss

There seemed a peculiar fitness in the
production of Wagncr's Parsifal at the
Metropolitan Opera House in New York
on Christmas eve Parsifal is neither d
passion play nor sacred, it deals with
miracles and with old myths, borrowed
partly from primitive Christians and
partly from the Buddhists, who in so
many matters was the forerunner of
Christianity. From the mere human
standpoint the story of the great renun-
citation of Gautama Buddha is curiously
beautiful. Centuries upon centuries be-
fore the star shown down on the ador-
ing shepherds as they watched their
f1ocks by night, a young Indian prince
proclaimed that the denial of the flesh
was the condition of all lasting peace
and bliss And thus is the chief lesson
taught by Parsifal-a man strong i'll his
innocence and shielded by Gods grace
in order that he maysaccomplish great
mission upon earth. He is tempted as
Christ was tempted and by the mercy
of his Redeemer he resists temptation.
Charles Henry Meltzer thus explains
the story: Parsifars mission is to heal
a suffering sinner, King Amfortas, ruler
of Monsalvot and chief guardian of the
temple of the Grail This king, with
many knights sworn to defend this Grail
has been lured to the enchanted gardens
of his foe Klingsor, where he is under
the influence of the witch-woman Kun
dry Klingsor's servant armed though he
was with the blessed spear that pierced
Christ on Calvary, he has been wounded
with his own weapon, which Klingsor
has wrested from him. His wound,
which like much else in Parsifal is sym
bolical, can never close till it is touched
again by the same spear that opened it.
And as he lies upon litter in deep
agony he prays for rest, the rest he shall
not know until the coming of one pure
and ignorant, who shall conquer King
sor. As, to the symbols, or under mean
ings of Parsifal it seems plain enough
that in Amfortas, Wagner intended us
to see humanity or man the victim of
passion. In Klingsor we behold evil.
Kundry represents a dual nature with
aspirations, after good and lapses into
wiekedness. The Grail or Holy Grail
may be accepted as the symbol of revivi-
tying grace. We are told in Parisfal
that the mysterious Grail was restored
to earth and entrusted to Titurel, the
now aged father of Amfortas. He built
a temple and enrolled the knights by
whom it has since been guarded. None
but the pure can have access to the cup
which it concea1s or may benefit by its
virtues. The spear stands in the COM
posers scheme as symbolization of
power,

THE CHURCH CLUB OF ST,
MARKS.

The Church Club of the men of St.
Marks, of which Mr. Leon R. Smith IS
president, Mr., E. B. Rand treasurer
Mr.. Deas secretary, have issued invita-
tions to a banquet to be given Saturday,
evening, January 7, in the club room.
Bishop Sessums will be in Shreveport at
that time and will be the guest of the
club. The bishop has consented to make
short address.
The main purpose of the banquet is to
create and cultivate acquaintance among
the church members and promote feel
ing of true sociability. The church club
of New Orleans has accomplished much
in this line and has encouraged strong
feeling of Christian fellowship.

The fifty little folk who take part in
The Blue Bird at the Majestic theater

today between the matinee and evening
performance. The tree will be profuSely
decorated and laden with presents for

the time Of their lives it will not be the
fault of the grown-up members of the
company whose guests they will be.
Reginald Barlow, who plays the
wood-chopping Daddy Tyl and Robert
Cummings, the venerable Father Time
of the fairy drama, motored up to Mr..
Barlow's country place at Brentwood
Wednesday and chopped down the fin
est evergreen they could find. This is

Monroe News-Star: The National

campaign of education for comprehen-
sive policy on the part of the Federal
government towards the waterways of
the country has borne such splendid re-
suits in bringing the people to realize
the absolute necessity of making the
rivers do their share of transporting the
products of the Nation, invites every
business man and every professional
man to join its m abership. The farm
ing communities of the country are as
vitality interested i'll the cheapening OF
freight rates as are the great industrial
centers and to bring home to Congress
the crying need for an annual river and
harbor bill and to emphasize upon the
congressional mind that the people are
aroused over this matter, the propa-
ganda which the National Rivers anG
Harbors Congress began ten or more
years ago, is to be continued with more
zeal than ever Here is afforded an op.
portunity for the people of this com.
munity to help crystalline sentiment tc
the end that yearly river and harbol
bill will be as certain as the yearly ap
preparations for the army, navy and thu

All of which is true, but who are tht
greatest opponents of the improvement
of the Waterways? The railroads. For
tunately the people who must pay tn
freight, without rebate, are awakening
to the importance and the necessity 0

DEATH OF DIR. WISE.

The death of DR.. Braxton Wise of
Benton has caused deep sorrow to many
hearts in Shreveport, where DIR. Wise
was we'll known and highly esteemed. In
his own community in the town of Ben
ton and throughout the parish he was
greatly beloved, and was close to the
hearts of the people TO whom he was the
kind physician and good friend. While
conducting a church service he was
stricken with apoplexy. His extreme
illness brought at once physicians and
friends to his bedside. but all of no
avail, the good man soon passed from
earth. DR. Wise leaves a devoted wife
to mourn his loss. a brother DR. George
Wise of Vanceville, and a sister, Mrs.
E. B. Herndon of this city, other dear
relatives and host of devoted friends.
