WALTER D. HICKMAN SHE return of Stuart Walker to the Murat this summer for a brief season of for four weeks nearly happened. This was admitted by Nelson Trowbridge of the Murat who is having his first "stockless” season in a number of years. According to Trowbridge. Walker was to have a season of four-week opening early In June. This would have happened, but Walker could not have the services of McKay Morris, Elizabeth Patterson, Peggy Wood and George Gaul. Gaul is In anew show in New York. Miss Patterson is busy in "Candida” and so Is Miss Wood. Morris Is supporting Lionel Barrymore In anew show on Broadway. Walker decided that it would be "suicide” not to head his company with these favorites. "But this means that Walker will return to Indianapolis during the summer of 1926,” Trowbridge states. • • We who handle reviews of play are always running up against the personal factor. I believe that a review must be honest and reflect what actually happens on the stage and in the theater as well as stating the opinion of the critic. If vhat is not true, then criticism Is r.iere bunk. In my review of "Just Married,” I stated that Robert St. Clair “at times showed a marked tendecy to forget lines, but that he certainly did land solid in a number of comedy scenes.” That statement was true and I believed fair to all concerned. But if I had been able to have pushed back the barrier which separates critic from actor. I would have discovered that on Sunday night, St. Clair received a wire stating that his grandmother, whom he loved dearly, was at the point of death. Such news, I admit*, would have re-acte'd upon myself if I had received such news a few minutes before reviewing a show. In all fairness to St. Clair I want to state that his “tendecy to forget” was not caused by his failure to know his part, but the great worry caused by sad news. He has played the role before and that is additional pioof he knows his role. I understand that on Monday night he was letter perfect. I tell you about this only to show there is generally a great human cause that we know nothing about when an actor becomes confused in his part. * * * George Keep, assistant treasurer of the Murat theater, has left for Chicago to become assistant treasurer of the Shubert Apollo "Artists and Models” is to have a summer run. Keep will return to the Murat when the local Shubert house opens on Labor Monday.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Read of Experiences of Peter at Lydda and Joppa

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for May 31. Peter at Lydda and Joppa.—Acts 9:32-43. By WM. E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist ■ 1 ROM the activities of Paul, p the new convert, we turn ■ again in this lesson to the work of Peter. His activities In the beginning were centered at Jerusalem, but like that of his Lord his was an Itinerant ministry. The scene of'the flist Incident in this lesson Is at Lydda, about twenty-five miles northwest from Jerusalem. Here we have the story of the healing of Aeneas who had been for eight years sick- of the palsy. From Lydda Peter, at the call of the disciples, passed on to Joppa where Tabltha, better known as Dorcas, a woman full of good works, had Just died. Peter on arrival at Joppa, which was only a few miles from Lydda, found the body washed and laid out for burial In an upper chamber with windows, whom Dorcas had helped, standing around and showing the garments which she had made. The record Is that Peter put them all forth and kneeled down and prayed, and turning to the body said, "Tabltha. arise,” that she opened her eyes and sat up when she saw Peter, and that Peter gave her his hand, lifted her up and premon Sunday morning on The Lord’s Prayer, from the words: "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done on Earth ae It Is In Heaven." Sunday evening the pastor will give a missionary address. He will also ha'*e charge of the E. L. C. E. at 7 p, m. „ • • • AT BETHLEHEM LUTHERAN CHURCH, morning worship will be held at 10:45. Sermon by the pastor, the Rev. Earl Coble. Theme. “The Pentecostal Spirit.” Special music. Vespers 7:46. Memorial day service. Subject, “The Book of Remembrance." • • • “Modern Rejections of Christ" will be the sermon subject of Dr. David M.

aented her alive to the saints and the widows. No Proof There can be little value In discussing this miracle except aa It symbolizes the life-giving power of Christ and the Gospel. We have neither proof nor disproof outside of the Gospel of the incident as It Is recorded, and If miracles could be explained, they would be no longer miracles. We have not the # full facts, and above all, we have no medical testimony. Dorcas may not have been actually dead. I have had occasion recently to look up In The Congregationalist of some years ago, I think It was way back In the eighties of last century, a story almost aS remarkable as this in our lesson, the full truth of which. I believe, was amply verified. It concerned a well-known Congregational minister. A man of saintly and noble character who had to all appearances died. He was laid out for burial and w f as about to be interred when a woman, who had formerly nursed him through an Illness, who had been at a distance, and who had not heard of his death, in response to a spiritual prompting that she could not explain, came to inquire concerning him. When she found him apparently dead, she began a treatment, ehaf flng and rubbing, which soon resulted in the apparently dead man Strenuous Race." At the Thursday 7:15 p. m., roundtable worship, he will speak on “The World's Children.” • • • MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES will be observed at Riverside Park M. E.

coming to life. The circumstances are told with full detail in this article in the old number of The Con* gregatlonallst, and a somewhat remarkable thing la that, though this minister was conscious all through the period of his trance and knew what was happening around him without being able to give any sign and though he understood, of oourse, that he was likely to be burled alive, he had during his trance a remarkable experience of the presence of the Saviour who had brought to hhh a great peace of soul that he had not always experienced during his time of wakeful consciousness. Reminder of Miracles Probably It Is records such aa this that constitute the background of New Testament stories of raising from the dead. They ought at leaat to remind prosaic and captious critics. who distrust the stories of the miraculous, of the wonders of the spiritual realm that have never been by any means explored, and that are still In a large measure sealed In spite of all the prograss of science. Ivet me. however, again remind my readers that the greatest miracle of all anywhere in the New Testament, or outside of its pages, is the miracle of the new life in Christ, and the lessons that t&ll us the stories of the miraculous happenings never have their full effect upon our Uvea until they bring the miracle of grace to pass in ourselves. "Decoration Day” and at night on "Won by One.” Holy communion will be observed at the night service. The church council will meet Tuesday night at the parsonage.
