AMI they were ready. The cast IN
cluded the Prophet Jeremiah; kDeo-
Melech, the Ethiopiam slave; the
King; and the four Princes, Jucal,
Shephatiah, Gedalian and Pashur.

gaudily and appropriately dressed
IN materials later to be used by by
the Rosby Union Aid. The slave,
blackened to Ethiopian darkness
with. burnt cork, wore white; and
jeremiah, the poor Prophet, wore
sack cloth. Turbans and girdles of
oriental color and texture were bor-
rowed from sisters and with the
addition of few pins the costumes
were close copies Of those worn in
the days of the fall of the Kingdom
of Judah. Cheapness of equipment
and ease Of assembling it were fea-
lures not to be overlooked.
The boys carried out the action
Of the lesson with enthusiasm and
tremendous effect. The naughty
king, the indignant and murderous
prince, the fearless and yet humble
Prophet, the brave slave, risking his
life, for his friend Jeremiah, they
