Nashville, Tenn.-The session of the
woman's convention, auxiliary to the
national Baptist convention recently
held here, was the biggest and best in
the history of the organization. No

beauty of this pictorial representation of
the life of Christ it is essential that the
audience should see all of the pictures.
No effort of the past to reproduce the
life of Christ, showing in detail the scenes
incident to His childhood, boyhood and
manhood, has ever reached the high de
gree of perfection shown in this produc-
ton of the kalem company It is sublime
" beautiful, touching and impressive.

both vocal and instrumental, the latter
including organ, piano and violin, the
violinist coming from Boston.
