Keeping or Breaking Commandments.
The Great Teachers declaration that
they who break Gods commandments
and teach others so to do shall be
called least in the Kingdom has caus"
ed considerable perplexity in the past.
The question has been, How could any
one be fit at all for the Kingdom who
breaks Gods commandments and
teaches others so to do? The answer
il that many of Gods people have la

ought not to have done and left uD-

The Drama League Is

'"The Drama League originated, very
properly, as a circle of women who
met to listen to the reading Of plays"
writes Matthew White. jr., in his stage
comment in Munsey's Magazine. THE
6rst meetings were held at the home
q Mrs. Harrison B. Riley, in Evan

zatinn spread to other towns, making

"Ry .he following April 1t had grown
to-a membership of more than $1,000,

How, you ask, are these bulletins
distributed where they are likely to do

the report of the president Of the play

ton, at the first annual convention. As

Houston did not name either In her

.ft seems to me that as the league
crows It should be possible to print
these bulletins without the co-opera-
