THE ROCK.’’ a three-act religious drama portraying the character development of the Apostle .Simon Peter, will be presented bj’ the Sutherland Players at the Sutherland Presbyterian church, Twentyfißhth and Bdlefontainc streets, on Sunday evening as a feature of ope of a series of popular Sunday evening sendees being conducted by the Rev. F. A. Pfleiderer, pastor of the diurch. The preliminary devotional sendee which will include singing by the uwter’ar.d men s chorus will begin at 7 o'clock, followed by the performance of the play. In February, 1926, the Sutherland Players under the direction of

W. C. A.. Church Federation, Ep worth League and Christian Endeavor conventions and community groups, and have other performances scheduled during the coming months. The Rock" was unanimously awarded first prize in one of the 'everal religious drama playwrighting contests conducted by the Drama League of America and the Federal Council of Churches and is generally conceded to be one of the most powerful evangelistic mediums in dramatic form ever written. The universality of its theme 1s evidenced by the fact, that the play has been translated into several foreign languages including Chinese, Japanese and Korean and has been presented in various foreign countries. It was written by Mary P. Hamlin, who, with the eminent American actor, George Arliss, was co-author of “Hamilton,” a play dramatizing the life of the famous statesman of that time. The cast to be seen in the presentation of “The Rock" at the Sutherland Presbyterian church Is, with two exceptions, the cast which appeared in the original production by the Sutherland Players, and in the other performances given by the players during the past four years. Norman Green, who portrays the role of Simon Peter, is director of the Sutherland Players and has appeared in many productions at the Civic theater, as well as at the Metropolitan School of Music, where for three years he was a member of the dramatic art faculty. Lora Frances Lackey, who appears as Mary of Magdala. was a member of the Garrick Club while attending Indiana university, and appeared in leading roles in several productions of that organization. Edward Green, who plays the part of Agur, a wealthy Hebrew merchant, played for three seasons with the Stuart Walker Company in Cincinnati and Indianapolis, toured with the Chautauqua companies for two years and is also a member of the Civic Theatre of Indianapolis. The part of Adina, wife of Simon Peter, is played by Roberta Hawkins, who has studied at the Metropolitan School of Music and has appeared in dramatic productions ’hroughout the state. She is also known as a radio entertainer. having broadcasted many times from WFBM. She is to portray the leading part in the religious drama, “Saul of Tarsus,” which will be presented soon at the Civic Theatre. Fannie K. Fort, playing the role of Deborah, mother-in-law of Simon Peter, has been seen in that part in Elwood. Anderson. Dunkirk, Muneie, Bethany Park and other towns where “The Rock" has been presented. Others in the cast are Joe Foy and Russell Young, both members of the original company who play frequently in other religious and secular plays offered by the Sutherland Players. Costumes for “The Rock" were designed and executed by Virginia Brackett Green, who is also costume director for the Civic Theatre ol Indianapolis. Incidental music for the play is under the direction of Lora Lubbe Lackey, chorister of the Sutherland Presbyterian church. The performance on Sunday evening is open to the public. man CLASS LEADER TALKS ON “DESPAIR” At the services of the Christian Men Builders’ class of the Third Christian church.

Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Leason for March 9. Take Heed How Ye Hear. Matt. 13:1-9. 16-23. BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregatlonalist OUR lesson is based upon what is called the parable of the sower, and that parable has been rather more unfortunate in Its title than in any other respect. The title almost inevitably fixes our attention upon the sower and the manner of sowing his seed, whereas the lesson of Jesus in the parable, as is made very plain in its close, relates not so much to the sower as to the ground or to the listener. The parable is interesting owing to the fact t hat itis one of the parables which Jesus himself has expounded, and its conclusion, it should be remembered, is not “take heed how ye sow,” that is “take heed how you scatter the seeds of truth,” but “take heed how ye hear.” Look well to it that the ground of your hearts and minds upon which seeds of truth may be scattered may be prepared and may receive those seeds with fruitfulness. So then, we ought to call the parables not the parables of the “sower,” but the parable of the “hearer.” The Need for Lavishness Possibly.the parable has a teaching for the sower as well There can be no particular value in the wasting of seed upon poor ground. But, on the other hand, if there is any lesson that nature teaches us and that may be equally applied in the world of grace, it is the lesson of the lavishness of sowing to insure a crop. It is the one field in which everything seems to go beyond the realm of calculation or narrow economic provision. The fact that forms of life both in its lower and its higher manifestations frequently become extinct despite this lavish provision for reproduction shows that nature after all may not be any too lavish in its economy. But none the less one of the most interesting facts is the power of life in the seed that is sown and in the higher forms to reproduce itself upon such a vast scale. So in the realm of grace there ha? developed the tradition of scattering the seed far and wide, beside ail waters, and even in the desert places, in the hope that somewhere it may take hold of even a

particle of fertile soil and bring forth fruit. Tire more one looks over the history of the progress of religion in the world, both in general and In its remarkable redemptive achievements in individual lives, the more one realizes how much of the harvest would likely have been missed if man had been too economical or calculating in his sowing of the seeds of truth. In the most unlikely places, where there seemed to be no soil, or where the soil had been covered up, seeds of the new life have taken hold and have found root and have been enabled to grow. Hence, probably the teaching of Jesus would have been narrowing rather than enlarging, destructive rather than constructive, if this parable had been chiefly one for the sower leading him to undue caution and to the withholding of his hand. But as a parable for the hearer it lays all the emphasis upon making the words of truth more effective. In a world where the seeds of life are so manifold it would seem that the profoundest duty and privilege is to prepare the ground of our own hearts and minds and reap in our own experience the harvest that God intends. Human Opportunity Perhaps we have paid altogether too little attention to the matter of the preparation of the ground of life both in our own lives and in the lives of others. It is startling thing to realize the extent to which we live all the time in a world of almost boundless privilege and opportunity where the proper attitude of the soul, in depth and responsiveness, could make our lives glorious and luxuriant where so often they are shallow and barren. The love of God can not transform the heart that is closed to love. The truth of God can not enlighten and glorify the mind that is closed to truth. Even the power o' God can not fructify the life that closes its will to the divine impulse. Man, after all, in large measure determines the ground of his own life and the area upon which the seed of life is cast. God has given us a world of large and abundant sowing. The seeds of opportunity are scattered everywhere. But man prepares tire ground and the harvest depends largely upon himself. In a world of Innumerable and wonderful words of life, the admonition of Jesus is, Take heed how ye hear.

Bit United firess PARIS, March B.—Business being slack for Mikkel Leppik, an Esthonian fur dealer who had worked in Paris since he left the colder climes of his native land some seven years ago, he decided to branch out in a new nn: of business. So he sold his wife. Mikkel appeared before a Paris court to answer to his crime, which, however, was not that he had put his wife on the auction block. In the eyes of French justice, he had every right to sell his wife if he wished, but he had not the right, afterwards, to threaten the man who succeeded him as husband with all kinds of tortures if more money were not forthcoming. The enterprising Esthonian sold his wife, Irma Ivanoff. to a Ukranlan, Alexandre Minckh. The price was 2,101 francs, or approximately SBO. The court sentenced Mikkel to a month in jail.

BIRDS WINGING TO NORTH FOR SUMMER VISIT Songsters Returning From Wide Range of Winter Season Resorts. fin firienef firr’irc WASHINGTON. March B. Th* flocks of returning songbirds that already are flitting across the lawns lately under a blanket of snow, and filling all the countryside thickets, are gathering home from a wide range of winter resorts. Some of them have not been more than a few hundred miles away at any time during the winter, others are flying back from the other side of the equator. The robin, whose return marks spring in our minds much more surely than any calendar date, is one of the more conservative journeyers. He goes no farther than the Gulf coast as a rule, so that h# may be back in time for the earliest of early worms. Tree sparrows, golden-crowned kinglets, grackles and cowbird* are other birds that are satisfied with winter homes in tho United States. The multitudinous family of warblers, tiny though they are, is wider-ranging. Some species migrate into the Wert Indies, and some, undismayed by the long hop demanded by the Caribbean, cross over into South America, reaching Venezuela, Equador and even Brazil. The marsh wren of the upper Mississippi valley gets as far south aa central Mexico. These long journeys, undertaken every year by vast numbers of birds, demand heavy toll in life, says Dr. Alexander Wetmore of the United States national museum, who has written a widely used book on the subject of bird migrations. "Storms, unfamiliar coverts and exposure to the attacks of winged and four-foot enemies, to say nothing of the possibility of becoming lost while crossing broad stretches of water, annually destroy our smaller migrants in untold thousands,” he says. It is for this reason that there is no material increase in the total number of any species from season to season, in spite of the fact that each nesting pair will raise from four to a dozen young each year. And if reckless killing or the destruction of breeding grounds intervenes this balance may be upset and put on the downgrade very easily, as happened in the case of the passenger pigeon, once the most numerous of birds, but now totally extinct.
