The City of David

Prof. r. A. s. Macalister. describing
recently the work carried on on the
eastern hills to the south of Jerusalem,
said that there was undoubted evil
dence of the occupation Of the site by
men of prehistoric time. They had,
however, discovered the bottom por-
lions of the walls of the city that
David had taken from the Jebusites.
Although 1t was not wise to theorize
before the work was completed, they
had found indications that pointed to
a spot In the northern wall being that
which David preached when he took
the city, subsequently screened with a
wall that he built to cover the damage,

twelve feet thick. Indicated that 1t
might be the tower from which the

only blind men and cripples would
be necessary to hold the walls

had brought to light other things

Exceptional Cast For Mary Pickford

Without exception the members

non of Haddon Hail." which comes
next week to the Strand Theatre,
constitutes an even greater aggre-
cation of stage and screen stars
than any list Of players that ever
supported her in any of her pre-
vious picture offrings.
Miss Pickford in the role of Doro-
thy Vernon is again the grown
young woman. This character, how
ever, is wholly different from that
of the little street singer so ex-
quisitely portrayed in ..Rosita," the
picture in which Miss Pickford first
assumed grown-up role.
The part of Sir John Manners
is played by Allan Forrest, who
recently worked in Jackie Coogan's
"In The Palace of the King"
Anders Randolf, who appeared in
"The Bright Shawl" takes the part
of Sir George Vernon, and Marc
McDermott, well known on stage
and screen, makes an admirable Sir
Malcolm Vernon, cousin of Dorothy
to whom she has been betrothed
against her will.
Queen Elizabeth is interpreted by
Glare Eames, well known in both
this country and Europe for her
brilliant work as England's famous
queen.

THE GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY

A branch of the Girls Friendly
Society was started in quiet man
ner at st. Andrews Church, this
city, and is rapidly growing in num-
bers. The G. F. S. as it is more
Familiarity known, exists for the
benefits of girls irrespective of re-
ligious denomination, and efforts to
proselyte are sternly discouraged.
Whilst it is under the guidance of
the Episcopal Church, its aims are
to help the girls lead virtuous and
Christian life, and by their social
and civic activities to be beneficial
to the community at large. Any girl,
of good moral character, who has at
tanned the age of 16, can become a
member of the G F.. S., though
every postulant has to pass through
a probationary test of three months
duration, thus insuring fitness of
character. Girls under the age of
16 can join, but are known as candi-
dates, having their classes apart
from the members. The G. F. S.
in the diocese of New Jersey possess
SEES beautiful and spacious holiday
home at Island Heights, N. j., to
which any member of the Society
can go for two weeks summer va
cation on the payment of a compare
lively small sum of mnoey. The Off
GERS of the G. F. S. in Lambertville
are the Rev. 7. j. Bensley, Chap
lain: Mrs. 7. ]. Walker, Superin-
tendent: Emily Wesner, Chairman:
Mary Pedrick, Secretary: and, Doro-
thy Roberts, Treasurer. In order to
aid in financing the new branch,
the Grace Church, Trenton branch,
has generously offered to give a
vaudeville entertainment in st. An
drew's Hall on the evening of Nov
ember 7th, and it is sincerely hoped
that all who are interested in the
welfare of the younger members of
our community, and every adult
should be, will purchase tickets for
the entertainment and aid the good
work by their presence there.
