Presentation Com :
ing Soon
(By F. L. Chalrnus. Chr. Pub. Conn

Whereas it has never been the po-
Icy Of the Haven-Rust Club to exclude
any person from club meetings or o.
Their activities Of the club because of
his denoninational utilization, it seems
that more attention is now being paid
the invitations that have gone out from
time to time to individuals to take part
N the club activities for the betterment
of conditions in the community.
With the presentation of Esther the
beautiful Queen" comes a more cooper
alive interdenominational spirit than
has been exemplified in any other
group production heretofore. Members
Of practically every church, let alone
denomination, are represented in the
cast of approximately 100.
The coming together Of SO many in
dividuals for one common cause not
only shows what can be done in the
community along unsteady drama
tic line, but gives one an idea OF what
can be done from the commercial point
of life in the community. All that is
needed to successfully engage In a pro-
fitable enterprise giving more employ
ment to the group is that there be
enough interest manifested, confidence
attained and hard work attributed.
The date and place OF this presenta-
tion will be announced at a later date
