The DiUine Sarah.

WHAT a wonderful woman Sarah Bernhardt is
w and what an unusual career she has had in
the seyenty-seven years of her life, sixty years of
which have been spent upon the stage. She made
her debut away back in 1862.
For more than twice the average lifetime Of the
people who have formed her audiences she has
thrilled the people of all nations with her extraor.
binary vitality, her unique grace, her wonderful
voice and her magnificent Interpretation of human
character. No other stage record has ever ap-
preached that of Madame Bernhard.
There comes the time when the constant toll of
the years tells upon even as extraordinary person
as Sarah Bernhardt; and it is feared that time is
approaching for her. For the first time In her
long career she was unable to perform her part on
the stage due TO q breakdown from overwork and
the theater remained dark in consequence.
Some day. and We hope it may be long postponed,
the world will be called upon to surrender this
great woman, known to our grandparents, our par
ents, and now to ourselves.
1t is entirely unlikely that tho world will ever
know the equal of Sarah Bernhard.

Remember the Sabbath.

THE LAW OF the state holds all business opera
L tions OF every kind and character to violate the
sacredness of the Sabbath. The law is generally
respected. Public sentiment upholds the law or 1t
would not stand. BY sufferance or out Of a seem
ing necessity. certain few lines by an apparent pnb'
lie consent have been exempted. Drug stores. news
stores, cigar and refreshment stands. cafes, picture
shows and the like are in this category. There is
no reasonable objection to these remaining open.
But at the same time the last thing anyone OF
them should do would be to, in the slightest degree,
Interfere with or attract from attendance at Sab
bath school or church services.
Public opinion should be closely followed In this
respect; and the forenoon of the Sabbath should
remain sacred to the purposes and practices of the
church.
1t is not the desire of any particular person or
organization to be captions in such matters as
these, but the world will not be permitted to en-
croach upon the church any more than it has.
And il the church must insist, it should always be
remembered that the church and its friends always
outnumber those who would put n slight upon 1t,
and their will can be enforced because the law
gives them special recognition.
