"Since they succeeded why can't
we? Well, we can and we are going
to do it. With the encouragement al
ready given us and the support of all
those who are calling for better plays
on the stage, particularly the people
OF our faith, the enterprise should
prove one of the most successful ever
undertaken in the theatrical field.
We have number Of beautiful
plays that have been lying in the

of the unfounded claim that the pub.

THE Shepherd King" tells the story
of David, author of the Psalms and
second king of Israel, from the time
he tended his fathers flock, through
the troublous period when the Philis-
tines and Israelites were at war and
the giant Goliath threatened to throw
a panic among the followers of King
Saul. to the time Saul died and David
was proclaimed King. The versatility
of the character of David is brought
out very strongly in the play. The
material grandeur of the man, his
prowess as the slayer of Goliath. his
achievements as leader of his peo.
pie. all Of which are softened by the
simple faith of the poet and dreamer
VINO Is as gentle and unassuming as
the sheep of his flock.
Mr.. William Farnum, who will play
the part of David In the coming apir1a, apra,.s
ouction' Is aptly suited to the role,
and his performance in the play prom
lses to be one of the achievements
of his interesting career.

KINGS BROTHER IN A
PARIS PULPIT

In the tiny church Of st. Julien le
Pauvre. standing in little court
yard hidden among the squalid lanes
on the edge of the Latin Quarter,
the Good Friday sermon was
preached by a brother of the reigning
King of Saxony and cousin Of the
Kaiser.
For eighteen years Prince Maximil-
ian of Saxony has been simple
priest, teacher Of canon law at q
seminary in Cologne. NJ
His sremon dealt with the analogy
between the Lion of the tribe of udah
and the Son of Man, largely theo-,
logical disquisition. but it was fol-
lowed with close attention by tho

CHURCH IN SOUTH AMERICA

thankS to the returned missiOnar-
ies," that the Church in South Amer
lea is in anything but a flourishing
formal observance with no real life
condition and that infidelity and mere
in it. is characteristic of the people.
Lieutenant Colonel Dalton, in lee
ture at Gumley house last month,
gives far different account. Col
onel Dalton is one of the most emf
nent electrical engineers and during
the last six years has spent consid-
cradle time in South America.
"The South American does believe
in God. not simply as a faraway
ideal. but as a living personality. I
saw this faith during visits to coun-
try permeated with ideas of AL
mighty God and of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. One saw this living faith in
the great cities as we'll as among the
simple folk of the interior. In a
river journey the boatman never
failed to kneel for prayer at morning
and evening and to say grace before
each meal. Asking forester the
way to certain point. he replied:
God has sent you to give me chance
I'd help you.' Everywhere rich and
poor offered friendly hospitality. In
the Argentina, with population
largely affected by immigration. out
of a total Of 6,5OO,O0O there are A.
100000 Catholics. Buenos Ayres
has twenty-five parish churches and
more than a hundred churches be-
longing to religious communities. Of
Brazil's 2O.0O0.0OO people 1S,O0O,-
900 are Catholic. In Rio one sees
crowds in the churches at every Mass
from 6 am. to midday, and thou
sands receiving holy communion. The
church's vigorous life is revelation
to anyone who has heard only the
accounts of Catholicity in South
America that appear in Protestant
newspapers.
after all. the one thing that i'm
presses the Catholic visiting Latin
American countries is the familiar
handling of sacred things, the home
liness of the faith, the at-homeness
of the people in the house of their
Father. A Protestant is not i'm.
pressed by this. He has only lofty
scorn and no understanding. and
most of the impressions which we
have in this country are those con.
veyed to us by Protestants.
Another experience I met with
will show the devotion of these peo-
pie in private life. was staying at
country house. In the evening most
of the family slipped out of the room
one by one, the head of the household
remaining to entertain his guests.
Then from the garden court. round
which the house was built, heard a
murmur of voices. and going out. saw
that the family was assembled before
lighted altar of Our Blessed Lady,
reciting the Rosary. Two of my
friends, one Scotchman, the other
an Englishman, both Protestants,
asked later on what it all meant, and
when had explained, they said {:
Well. there's no use trying to i'm
agine there's any other Christian re-
ligion in the world. Those people
mean it,"

this morning for an inspection Of sew

called upon the members of the Of

came for the purpose of laying before

have worked together for years and
each knows every move the other
will make. They are like cogs in a
machine and each adds to the value
of the other.
Their exhibition of lightning work
in the last two games Of the worlds
series last fall was a revelation that
convinced even the most doubtful of
the New York fans that the Giants
were being beaten by a superior club.
In spite of their rapidity it would
take more rapid timing than any

they work faster than do Evers and

Baker is not fast, does not cover
as much ground as either Smith or

awkward around third, especially in
touching runners and he has a habit
of blocking with one leg that is dan
gerous to himself and to the runner.
