1t was to be directed by New York's
most talented dramatist. Pearce La
Roche. Pearce was to get so per cent
of the proceeds. His name stood out IN
great bold letters on the placards ad-
vertising the play. A list of his accom-
plishments, his talents, his achieve
ments occupied more than two-thirds
of the handbills, which Pearce himself
personally presented to members OF the
Ladies' Benevolence Society.
Pearce was handsome and different
looking with his long. uncombed hair
and trick little mustache, his gracious
manners and engaging smile. He
thrilled the club members with subtle
f1attery.
Fred Aldrich and Peggy Davis had
been chosen to play the roles OF young
lovers. Every one was pleased and
sure the cople was better sited to the
parts than any others. Fred was tall
and dark and beautiful in masculine
sort of way. He had natural charm.
Peggy was young and shy, naturally
pretty and wore her clothes in way
that made one feel she was always
dressed up.
But it turned out that Fred and
Peggy dere the despair OF Director
Pearce La Roche.
mo realism" he would say. "You
act stiff and awkward. Realism. you
know is the secret of all successful act
ing. You must seem human. natural,
at ease"
THEY went through the lines again.
= It was scene depicting the last
farewell of the lovers before Fred was
whisked of to Jail. The youth grasped
his love in his arms, held her close,
kissed her flercely.
Pearce La Roche threw up his arms.
Put some feeling in it," he shrieked.
"Act as if you meant it. Imagine your
self being taken to jail, This is the
last time you'll see your love. Your
last moment. Take her in your arms,
look deep into her eyes. caress her
hair. her face. her neck. Hold her
close. Press your lips to hers as If you
cannot bear to be taken away"
They repeated the scene. Young
Aldrich did his best Held Peggy
tenderly. He looked into her eyes.
He caressed her hair, her face, her
neck. He held her close. He pressed
his lips to hers in one long, passionate
embrace.

as best it could, the committee de-
clded, with young Fred and Peggy.
Every one, save Mrs. Sylvester, was
inclined to believe that the youthful
couple added certain charm by
merely appearing on the stage.
Mrs. William Van Horn. chairman
Of the Entertainment Committee. was
the greatest supporter of the youths.
Real or not real" she told Pearce

much time. The play is to be pre-

But what" Pearce argued. "is
drama without realism. It"
We'll get along without your
realism" Mrs. Van Horn cut in.
Peggy and Fred seem to suit every
one else. and guess they'll suit the
audience"
Pearce shrugged resignedly. It
wasn't his funeral. But he knew an
actor who said his lines with real
feeling when he saw one.
~ HE LOVE TRIAL" was, after all,
a great success. Especially were
the characters of the two young lovers

wistfully appealing about their parts.

Church
Many Years
Many Prominent Past
ors Have Served Con-
gregation Through the
Years; Has Had Two
Buildings

A brief history of the Methodist
Protestant church of Henderson has
been prepared in connection with ex-
ercises to be held tomorrow com
memorating it's 57th anniversary. 1t
follows:
The church was organized in the
summer of 1881. The membership
came largely from five families-Wil-
liam A. Harris, w. Henry Hart, John
F. Harris, K. w. Coghill, and Geo. A.
Harris. The first church building was
erected on a lot which was given by
William A. Harris. At that time this
was the most spacious church build
ing in the town, which then had a
POPULATION Of around 1000.
During the summer and fall of 1881.
Rev. S. P. J. Harris, local preacher.
served as pastor. On November 80,
1881, Rev. James p. Simpson, of Geor-
gia, was appointed as the pastor at
the session of the conference which
was held at Chestnut Ridge, in Orange
county.
On December 9 CT that year the
church held a meeting for the purpose
of organizing the official boards of
the church.
The following have served as pas
tors since the organization of the
church: D. A. Fishel and T. T. Ferree
as associate pastors: F. M. Totten, j.
T. Jones, S. w. Coe, T. j. Ogburn. T.
M. Johnson, J. S. Williams, w. F..
Kennett, A. G. Dixon, r. NJ Andrews
J. D. Williams, S. w. Taylor, j. f.,
Pritchard, r. A. Hunter, l.. w. Ger
finger, L. r. Medlin and T. J. White
head.
In the history Of the church large
number of the pastors have been elect
ed as annual conference presidents.
The following have been presidents
during the fifty-seven years history
of the church: j. r. Ball r. H. Wills,
I. J. Ogburn, w. A. Bunch, T. T.
Ferree, w. e. Swain, T. M johnson,
c. A. Cecil, c. S. Cecil, G.. w. Holmes,
r. a. Andrews, A. G. Dixon, S. w.
Taylor, j. E. Pritchard
The organization has used but two
church buildings. The present build
ing was erected in 1899-19OO 1t was
dedicated by the pastor who directed
the building campaign, Rev. J. S. Will
liams. In 1924 the Sunday school plant
was erected during the pastorate OF
Rev. J. E. Pritchard.
There were about thirty-five mem
bers in the first year. Today there are
361 members on the roll A total OF
eight hundred and thirty people nave
united with the church in it's entire
history.

the sad story of Ahab, who commit
ted murder that he might get his
neighbor's vineyard which he coveted.
Ahab was king of Samaria, and his
wife's name was Jezebel. They had a
neighEor, Naboth, who had a vine
yard that Ahab wanted. He asked Ma
both to sell it to him, either for money
or for another vineyard. But Naboth
had inherited it from his people and
did not want to part with it
After talking to Naboth, Ahab went
homo very disappointed and angry
He threw himself on his bed and re-
fused to eat his evening meal His
wife asked him what the matter was,
and when he told her, she said, "Arise
and cat bread, and let thine heart be
merry. l will give thee the vineyard
Of Wa5oth the TeZelite."
Then what did this wicked woman
do but write some letters in her hus-
bands name and sign them with his
SEAL In them she told certain ones
to proclaim a fast and set Naboth on
high among the people. Then she told
! them 10 have Two men come and ray,
"Naboth does blaspheme God and the
! king" Then she said they should take
! Nahoth out and stone him TO death.
Well, it was all done as she direct
! cd, and poor Naboth had no chance
to defend himself but was killed and
| his vineyard given 70 .Ahab.
! But Elisha, the prophet, heard of
/ il. and he told Ahab that because he
| had allowed Jezebel to do this thing
he would die in his chariot and the
| dogs should lick his blood, and
Jezebel should also die dreadful
death. Ahab tore his clothes, put on
sackcloth next his flesh, tasted and
Law in sackcloth, and went softly
! So genuinely sorry did he seem that
elisha said he would not punish him,
1 hit his son should suffer, and Jezebel
ebo,1ld die as he said.
It all came to pass as Elisha prop
besied. The son died in battle and
Il Tezebel was killed by enemies of her
con even as it was spoken. So you

sassion of what they covet may bring

to speak to his brother and make him
divide up his Inheritance with him.
Jesus answer to that was, 'Man, who
made me a judge or divider over
you?" And then He said: Take heed
and beware of coveteousness; for a
mans life consistent not in the
abundance of the things which he
possesseth."
Then He spoke a parable to them,
telling them about a man who was
blessed with abundant crops. He had
so much he hardly knew what to do
with it. So he said to himself that he
would tear down his barns and build
larger ones. Then he would make a
great feast and say to his soul, Soul
thou hast much goods laid up for
many years; take thine ease, eat,
drink and be merry"
But God told him he was foolish
to talk like that That very night his
soul might be required OF him, and
then what good would the abundant
harvest do him?
Later in the lesson, Paul tells us
that he believes money is the root OF
all evil. It can be the root of great
deal of good, we know, if we use it to
good ends and do not just hoard it
for it's own sake.
In Kings, the 21st chapter, is told

This lesson takes the last COM
mandment, Thou shalt not covet, "
and shows how this sin can not only
make us very unhappy but can even
make us commit a crime, like muir
Ter
The commandment reads: "Thou
Shalt not covet thy neighbours house.
thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's
wife nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his or, nor his ass,
noG anything that is thy neighbours"
IN these times we would add auto
mobiles, smart clothes, etc. 1t takes
an unselfish person to be glad others
have nice things and not be envious.
1t is a spirit for which we must
strive Boys and girls, men and wo-
men, envy their neighbors' success
IN school, at games, in society, as
well as tangible things like clothes
and automobiles.
