sour Wives" which was presented at
Grange Hall Thursday and Friday even
ipgs for the benefit of the Tennis Club.
If you have any doubt about II, ask any
body who was there.
sour Wives" is three-act farce, short
and snappy, and ts clean, lively and un-
Objectionable fun. It's plot centers about
the misadventures of two men who have
to finance an opera, without
daring to let their wives know OF the
venture, which threatens disaster. While
they are comforting with the star OF the
piece their wives are announced, and the
two men, to conceal themselves, jump
into the trunks Of the star. These
trunks are Immediately transported from
Atlantic City to New York and opened
in the house of the green'eyed husband

The final business session of the con.
vention Wednesday forenoon was very
lively one, not because of any clashes or
serious differences, but because the con-
vention seemed to be decidedly wide
awake, and the ministers and delegates
insistent upon pledging themselves to
forward the work Of the church.
Several recommendations In the re-.
port of the committee on official reports
called out discussion. The price of the
Universalist Banner, the convention
paper, was voted increased from Is cents
to 80 cents. The matter of evangelism
brought out some earnest remarks 10
support of the committees report on
that matter, which was as follows:
1--WE commend the work of the COM
mittee on evangelism. We approve the
effort that Is being made to foster the
spirit of evangelism In our churches. We
recommend that evangelism, along con-
structive and reconstructive lines, be in
corporated as vital part Of the definite
program Of every church, and that we
set for ourselves the goal of Ave hun
dred new members for the coming year.
"Noting the apparent lack OF apprecia.
ton of our great heritage as Universal
lists, we emphasize the fact so clearly
brought out in our official reports, that
our supreme need is definite religious
awakening, and an effective oonserva-
ton of our forces and our faith"
Quite long report was made by the
committee on resolutions, which was
amended In several particulars before
being accepted. In their principal fea-
lures the resolutions as adopted approve
the prohibitory law and its strict en-
forcement; instruct the committee on
evangelism to map out q definite cam
paign for the coming winter; deplore the
spirit of indifference with regard TO the
enforcement of law, aud recognizing the
evils Of the saloon, the cigaretts and the
use of Drugs, urge voters to cast their
votes for the protection of their homes
and their comm unities; rejoice In the
evidence of q great awakening within
the church; and pay respect to the mem.
ory of Rev. George w. Bicknell of Cam
bridge, Mass, q former Maine man re-
Gently deceased.
