 GIGANTIC EvANCEL|STIC DRIVE

eyangelistic passion: that our pewr shall catch the fire. It will mean that the members of our women's missionary societies shall turn their extraordinary organization talent and boundless enthusiasm into the channels of personal evangelism. It will mean, that for a season, all the forces of the local church shall Dc focused upon this one thing. and be fired by this one dominating purpose and passion.

LITTLE LORD FAUNTELROY" COMING TO PALACE

Little Lord Fauntclroy' is very admirably filmed" says Alan Dale in the New York American. 'ln it's way 1t is one of the best pictures l have seen, It's photography is not only ex- tensively well done, but the story Is well told, and there are fewer con sessions to the low brow than one usually finds in these reyamped stor- les and plays.
 Then the scenes are so fine and the environment is so true. The an cestraI hall of the Earl of Dorin- court is wonderfully shown and the view of the dining room, with the Earl and Cedric dining together in state, is most amusing.
 Miss Pickford was pellucidly pretty and dainty.
 Claude Gillingwater was capital Earl
 "Mary Pickford as Little Lord Fauntolroy also. Dearest, his mother Can't you imagine itT' queries the reviewer in the New York Times. You know the picture and you kHOW lno story. IS lneIe any thing more to be said? As matter of fact there is, for the picture is finer really fin some respects than you are likely to anticipate.
 "This picture is not for those in- capable of enjoying some of the best photography seen on the screen for a long time and some truly excellent ac5ing by several members of the cast, notably Claude Gillingwater as the old Earl of Dorincourt. And also by Miss Picldford, especially as Lord Fauntelroy's mother.
 "The settings are something to de- light the eye also. They are not grand and Imposing They are true or at least, seem so to the inexpert observer. Some of them are strtk- .ngly beautiful, and all of them are impressive. They fit into the part of the story to which they belong.

Blake finally manages to win his hard fought fight and the girl he lfoves

The Signs of the Times

In 1854, Cyrus w. Field, a merchant

he was al once hailed as a madman
and as one 1T for commitment TO an
asylum. After three unsuccessful at
temPts, on July p, 1866. he success
fully tied the two continents By a
cable. which endures to this day. This
success demonstrated the final linking
OF every nation Of the world. and al
this time there are hundreds and thou
