Teat Meetings Program.

The tent meetings now in progress
one block east Of the court house are
growing in interest, and if you have
not attended you are losing valuable
opportunity to hear portions of the
Scripture lectured on that are intensely
interesting.
Friends if you're out of the Christian
Life come and hear of the Way to
Heaven. If you know Him then we
are together, regardless of church or
belief, all working together for the
same place. Shall we not be friends?
You are invited to attend and enjoy
these meetings. As followers of Christ,
the question will not be what church
do we follow, but are we faithful to
the Master that the Judge will ask US
in the great day of judgment.
These meetings, though supported by
a denomination. will be conducted to
benefit all, as all converts are always
left to choose their church preference.
Moreover, no creed but the Bible will
be preached nor will anything be said
derogatory to any other church or faith,
for we have the most profound respect
for all Christian people and faith, and
if you have heard otherwise let US say
you have heard wrongly. And further,
let US say that the program as follows
will be arranged so as to be continued

Over 500 people, over 800 scenes.
The most lavish production ever filmed,
in nine parts.
The cast is practically reproduction
of the dramatis personae of the opera
"Masaniello" as it was given all over
the world generation ago, but there
all similarity ends. The widest imasi-
nation of one who recalls the primitive
operatic production will not conceive
even the faintest idea of what genius
in filmcraft, and woman at that, has
accomplished within the confines Of
modern picture plant. "The Black
Crook" was the title of the spectacle
presented in our theatres at the time
"Masaniello" was the rage. Neither
'sThes Black Crook" nor Masaniello"
would do to-day. The only reason why
Pavlowa chose "Masaniello" a. .
vehicle was because of the remarkable
character of Fenella and because the
Russian celebrity is the only woman in
all the world who could portray the role
which has frightened more singers and
caused more of Juror in its day than
any mind of an author has ever con-
ceived. 1t is as "Fenella' that Paw

by.the-way every part of the program
commenced exactly at the appointed
hour-Judge William Theophilus began
his address which was listened to with
the closest attention by a large audi
ence who were anxious to see and hear
their former neighbor and friend. The
address was just what might be expect
ed from one of such attainments as are
possessed by the Judge, and at the
earnest request of many who heard the
address and others who could not get
near enough to the platform to hear it,
the PLAIN DEALER will print practic-
ally the whole address in our next issue.
Judge Theophilus, who was elected to
his first public office from this County,

Court and his many friends in this

that was first class and the McGood

feats of strength, that was decidedly
fine.

one got his moneys worth. Although
errors were numerous, they were so
well distributed that the game remain.

when Waucoma won from Adams by
tieing the latter and then adding two
scores in spectacular finish.
The fireworks display was good and
generous, it taking nearly an hour to
complete this part of the program
which was given in the south side park
which proved an ideal spot for the dis
play. We doubt if our people had
realized till the 4th of the possibilities
and convenience of what is rapidly be-
coming a beautiful little park with its

little band stand.
