more, Welcome, One and All:

To the Friends and Well Wishers of
Christian Mission Work in Ard
more, Welcome, One and All:
Our work here in the city of Ard
more is almost to its third birthday,
which we as workers are expecting
to celebrate in honor of our Savior
and God, who created and set in or
der this great work, who has watered
it and gave it life, inspired the work
ers and gave them strength and cour-
age even when the bullets from the
enemy would come against us like
hail. He would always stand before
us as a shield from the storm. And
as we would at times almost faint
and fall across the path of duty, we
would catch a glimpse of his pierced
and bleeding side and SCARED hands,
and remember that he paid the price
and made the path passable for us
through every trial and persecution
from the enemy. We wish to inform
the friends of this work that every
manner and means of help from you
is still remembered and greatly ap-
preciated by us, and has been a means
of strength in weakness, faith in
doubt and great courage and inspira-
ton to many souls to become better
men and women We haven't space
10 express the gratitude of our hearts
to you and to God for the hundreds
of souls whose lives have been
touched and reconciled to our Christ
at the altar of this mission since
the doors were first unlocked and
prayer of sympathy for sinners as
cended the holy hill of Zion. The
trials have been hard but every
battle has been VIGOROUSLY won, in
his name and the precious diamonds
that have been dug out of the deep
est cutters of sin will shine with
sublime glory in heaven, and we will
count the tolls of the road nothing
when we get to the end of the way
We get very tired in the struggle,
but when we hear the Macedonian
cry for help we get new inspiration
10 keep pressing on. SO we ask CO.
operation in this grand work from all
good people and again thank those
who have been so faithful and kind
toward the work.
We are, respectfully for the cause
of Christ.
THE UNION MISSION.

policy to the stricken south; the up.
rising of the Ku KluX Klan, and the
overthrow of the carpetbagger re-
gime-these great factors and events
pass in review before the thrilled
spectator.
The love interest of the play is
based on the friendships between the
Camerons of South Carolina and the
Stonemans of Pennsylvania, two fam
lilies involved in the struggle. Ben
Cameron. the gallant clansman of the
Dixon stories, appears again in the
role of romantic hero; the piquant
northern girl, Elsie Stoneman, as the
heroine. Mr. Griffith took most of
the scenes in the great out -ofdoors,
where nature painted the backgrounds
and army men directed the battle
campaigns. The notable indoor
scenes, like Fords theatre on the
night of the Lincoln tragedy, the
peace at AppomattoX, and the South
Carolina legislature of 1870, are eX-
act fac-similes of the originals. Al
together, it is the first time in art
production that history in the large
has been presented in living pictures.
To do this, many times the amount
of the time, energy and expense usu-
ally devoted to amusement enter
prises had to be used. Eighteen thou
sand people and 5000 horses appear
in the picture, which cost approXi-
! mately 100000 to produce.
OF equal importance to the scenes
| is the music that interprets them. 1t
! consists of an elaborate symphonic
/ score arranged after Griffith's spg'
| gestions of the musical motifs for
the leading characters. Now grave,
now gay, now sounding the loud
diapason of war again sweetly har,
monizing loves sighs and rhapsodies
anon bringing back the old planta
tion melodies, or the crash of riot
and rapine, or the welcome Ku KluS
Klan call that fell so gratefully or
the ear Of southern whites sorely
oppressed by the servants in the
masters halT'--it fits the changing
scenes of the story like a flowing
beautiful garment. The marriage O
this music to the film best of al
entitled the producer to his well
earned laurel of having created
new art a new kind of grand opera
so to speak, that had not even beel
conceived before.
Among the distinguished principal
are Henry b. Walthall, the distine
uished Alabama actor whose famil,
is historically connected with th
story, in the role of the Clansman
Lillian Gish as Elsie Stoneman; Ma
; Marsh and Miriam Cooper as Flor
and Margaret; Ralph Lewis as Cor

film and music the story of ma
tion reborn through the storm and
stress of internecine strife. Instead
of the four to six scenes of the con-
ventional play, its technique permits
of filming literally thousands OF
scenes and covering a wide range of
history and characters. Slavery, the
prime cause of the war; Lincoln's S
call for troops to subdue the southern
states; the ball on the eve of Bull
Run, and the first triumph of Con-
federate arms; the devastation
wrought by Sherman's march and the
awful ordeal of the siege of Peters
burg: Lees surrender to Grant at
AppomattoX, the assassination of the
federal president; the harsh radical

David w. Griffiths epoch-making

following its record-breaking runs in
New York, Chicago, Boston, San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, will be seen
at the Palace theatre Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, April Il, IS and
10.
This work, partly from the nature
of the new art, partly from the oppo-
stion aroused, has excited keener
curiosity than any other offering Of
the current season, and the eXtraor-
binary demand for seats indicates
that the playhouse will not prove
nearly large enough to accommodate
the eager throngs.
