NORWICH TOWN
Address on Billy Sunday at Mems League Meetins-Children's Party Social and Business Meeting at Scotland Road.

The January meeting of the Norwich Town Mems League was held Monday evening in the First Congregational chapel. The president, H. L. Yerring- ton. gave the report of the December meeting in the absence of the secre- tary. It being the week of prayer and Rev. c. H. Ricketts, address appropri- ate to the week, two prayers were of fered preceding the address on Billy Sunday.
 Is there not power, he asked, when a man speaks with authority as if back of him there was a reason for what he said? The most magnificent word paintings I ever heard were from his lips. There is something admirable in man who has convictions and who be- lieves and speaks those convictions Billy Sunday is always on time. The quickness of his motions was some thing remarkable. I never have seen a man on a platform so perfectly eff fective in gesture. His voice is a dis tinct disappointment, overstrained and husky.
 Billy Sunday Is the most consummate master of the English language of any mar I ever heard. He so thrilled me by the most extraordinary preaching that I thought nothing of the language, used. His slang was not objection able, it was used with tremendous eff feet. It is not the bone and slnew or his address. He knows his Bible, he can quote it and aptly too. I never heard a man who could preach as he can, he has reduced the art of preach ing to a science.
 When he thundered against vice and crime he rose as a king uncrowned. He described saloon keepers as mean, ly- ing, contemptible inps of hell His tremendous dramatic ability was one secret of his power. I heard a sp1en- did. earnest. straightforward gospel sermon Everything eliminated in the sermon to a powerful close. in press ing the claims of Jesus home to the soul Some of the secrets of power were: Wide acquaintance with the facts of life and ability to present them vivid word pictures; invectives against wrong; an almost uncanny reading of the moods of crowd; wit, sarcasm, pathos; undoubted sincerity: and last, pressing home the claims of Jesus Christ upon the hearts of men,
 An enthusiastic vote of thanks for the inspiring address was given MT. Ricketts by the members of the

BREED THEATRE.
Mime. Petrova and Select Cast in Extra~aganee, a New Metro Won derpIay in Five Superb Acts, Feature for Today and Thursday.

Today and Thursday the Breed will present the peerless Madame Petrova in Extravagance, a powerful preach ment against the greatest sin of the age-living beyond ones means. The story is one of the strongest that has ever come from the pen of that gifted writer, Aaron Hoffman.
 The part Of Norma Russell gives Mime. Petrova one of the most splen- did opportunities she has ever enjoyed in the motion picture world. Its vari- ous phases express her many-sided ma ture more truly than has any part she has heretofore been called upon to play. The rich gowns, lustrous jewels and sumptuous surroundings Of the first part of the story are essentially becoming to her exotic type of beauty. There is probably no one else to whom luxury seems a more natural setting. In the second part of the story the soul of the women herself shines through Adversity brings out the best in Norma Russell, and Mime. Petrova's spleIIdid mentality takes full advan- tage of this fact. The artist lends to the character her own magnificent boise, her sureness of purpose and
 The supporting cast includes H. Cooper C1iffe, Mahlon Hamilton, Ar thur Hoops, J. w. Hartman and Ed ward Martindel.
 The thirteenth chapter of The Crimson Stain Mystery completes the bill for today and Thursday
 On next Monday and Tuesday the Breed will present the first chapter of The Great Secret. This Is positively the mightiest of all Metro marvels, first because one of the most success full playWrights of modern times-Fred de Gresac-wrote the story; second, the most successful director of modem times-Williau Christy Cabanne- staged it; and, thirdly, the greatest stars of modern times-Francis Bush man and Beverly Bayne-appear in 1t. William Christy Cabanne, the director of the picture, directed The Birth of a Nation and Intolerance, and his direc- tion in The Great Secret is the best. MT. Bushman and Miss Bayne will of course satisfy their many admirers. The Breed will present one chapter of The Great Secret on Monday and Tuesday of each week.

POETRY
IN THE GARDEN.

And they heard the voice of tho Lord God walking In the garden In the cool of the day.H (Genesis 8: s) The Lord walked in the garden; Though spreading far, from east ts
 west
 The universe upheld his throne, Creation offered of it's best, And heaven was all his own. The Lord walked in the garden The Lord walked in the garden; The brooding silence of the night Descended on the dewy flowers, And he whose word created light
 Found pleasure in the bowers The Lord walked in the garden. The Lord walked Tn the garden; O, holy comfort of the stars
 And wonderous mystery of night And leaving heavens own light, The Lord walked in the garden.

HOME.

Som etimes in dreams T see a room With massive walls and fair, Rose-shaded lights shut out the gloom, And you are there. Sometimes the room I see in dreams Is homely small. and bare; The table waits the kettle steams, Der all the cheery .firelight strea ms And you are there. What matter, dear. which dream comes
 true;
 The mansion rich and rare, The Httle cottage hid from view In Gods own sunshine, wind, and dew, If you are there?
