Sometimes it is very pleasant
to look into the past, recall the
glories of days gone by. Then
again, when we are confronted
with present conditions as COM
pared with successes we have
known, we wonder why such great
changes. st. James church was ST
one time the idol of Montana
churches, a position which, for
many years, she held without con-
tradiction. She also stood well near
the top in activities among the
churches of the Puget Sound Con-
ference. When the 9th annual
conference met in Helena, with
only 55 members she paid SLIGO
for pastors support; raised $50
money and during the year col
iected for various purposes 1884.
Today there is no church, only the
building. Ana yet, we are not alone
in suffering these backward con-
ditions. Two white churches are
now used as lodge halls, one is
an aparement house, another is
r1elena's puD.4c library. And still
another is occupied by the govern
ment as an office buildinng. And
so the wheel of fortune and mis-
fortune spins around and you eth
err draw prize or a blank. Let us
hope, that some day, Helena will
be with the prize winners.

''Brer Rabbit Plays

Seattle Children's Theatres CO.
medy in swingtime, "Brer Rabbit
and the Tar Baby" will play for
its third Saturday this week, at 2
p. m. only, at the Federal Theatre
on Rainier and Atlantic SITS.
One of the most popular of the
children's features yet presented
by this new type of acting compa
ny, "Brer Rabbit revels in songs
and dances and children's games,
with all the spirit of happy child
hood in a modern tempo and styl-
ing.
Written by Ruth Mitchell and
Alfred Allen, the play is an adap-
tation of the familiar Uncle Remus
tales of southern fame. With the
clever addition of modern dances,
songs, quaint costumes and color
full sets a real children's classic
has been achieved by the project
actors.

prayer, with his face toward the
wall. When the prisoner was re-
moved later, the turnkey entered,
turned on the light and saw the
drawing.
The prisoner who had last oc-
cupied the cell said he was not the
artist. In an effort to learn which
of many prisoners was responsible,
prison guards studied notations of
dates, names and even code mes
sages on the cell walls.
One of the legends that has
grown up about "The Holy Cell''
is that former prisoner once sent
postcard identifying himself as the
artist. Another is that the search
was narrowed down to three pris-
oners but met blank wall there.
Visitors are allowed to study the
picture at close range. Above the
drawing is an inscription with the
letters I. N. R. l., which stands for
Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, or
Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
The eight hunks, the steel walls
and the porcelain wash stand are
kept spotless.
Some prisoners are kept at the
holdover for federal authorities and
others to await state trials. The
artist might have had several weeks
or even months to complete his work.

For Years Figure of Christ, Drawn by
Prisoner, Has Been Illuminated in Jail

When the master switch is pulled
each night in the Central District
follower cell block at police head
quarters, and the prisoners settle
down in darkness to what rest they
can get on the steel boards" one
light remains burning in a vacant
cell, relates writer in the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
The cell has been empty and the
light has burned for five years,
Illuminating a figure of Christ on
the cross which an unknown prison
er, arrested on some charge since
forgotten, penciled on the buff steel
wall before being released. The
sentiment which led Chief of Police
Joseph Clerk, since retired, to order
the cell kept vacant from that
time on also led prison guards to
dub it ''The Holy Cell"
The drawing is no amateurish eff
fort. It is complete except for the
right arm. Someone, either a po-
liceman or a visitor-no one re-
members which-once tried to finish
the drawing but his poor effort was
erased.
The drawing was discovered
shortly after a prison guard, pass
ing row of cells, noticed a
prisoner kneeling apparently in
