be here October twentieth, it will be interesting to read of her vocal and artistic growth in her own words. "I was not permuted to sing a single song for three years," she , has written, "a real hardship for a musical child of eleven just exercises and exercises to place the voice. When I was ten, I made my first appearance at a little concert given by my teacher, and sang a series of children's songs by Taubert. They are really charming; I still sing them frequently. "When practicing a heavy Wagner role, I have often turned to the songs of Taubert or Mozart, to rest my voice and reassure myself that the 'bel canto' has not been disturbed. Ah! that Is the supreme test to sing a Wagner role one evening, and a Mozart role the next and feel to a .certainty that in the latter you 'are still mistress of your own voice. 'Then, indeed, you may be confident your method Is right. "When I made my operatic debut in Berlin, I had never taken a lesson in dramatic action. But Director Engel said: "You have the musical training, we'll have to leave the rest to chance. Now be Quite natural, don't try to do anything with your hands and arms. let them take care of themselves. It was good advice. "For three years I sang at the Ber lin opera house, in the beautiful operas of the German Romantic school Mozart, Weber, Beethoven, Loetsing and Nicolai. It waa magnificent train ing, as it gave my voice poise and certainty without straining. "Then just before coming to America in 1894, I Bang Elizabeth in "Tannhauser" and Elsa In "Lohengrin." Af terwards, I began to sing the lighter Wagnerian parts and the roles of the Romantic Italian and French schools. Seven years ago I sans the Brunnhildes for the first time, and Senta in "The Flying Dutchman." TO ATTEND A REUNION.

PHONE 1121 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Prayer . Meeting Topic For tho Week Beginning Sept. 26, 1909. . By RKV. S. H. DOTLE. : Topic. Mow missionaries win souls for Jesus Christ. i Cor. ix. IKS. The methods of winning souls for Christ are ; practicajly the same the world over. , The sinner must be led to see bis sinfulness, und in Christ the power to save him. and to accept Christ as bis atoning Saviour. But when it conies to tbe methods of briugiug about these results in tbe minds and hearts of men, the work of tbe missionary Is vastly different from that of those who labor among people to whom the gospel has been known from childhood. Missionaries to foreign fields especially must work along different linen. They are dealing with a strange fteople. To these people Christ and his teachings are unknown. Their faith has been placed in other religions. Their methods of thinking and of living are vastly different, as well as their daily habits and customs. The effort to save men under these circumstances must necessarily be different from those used at home. Paul, tbe greatest of all missionaries, realized the problem and solved it Tbe ways suggested in this passage to tbe Corinthians, properly understood, cover tbe eutlre ground. Indeed one sentence does it "all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." Involved in tbe principle here set forth are suggested the requirements of missionaries for sariug souls for Christ 1. Missionaries need intelligence to win souls for Christ, l'aul was a man of. marked intellectual ability and finely educated. He had tbe finest scholastic training that tbe Jews could give. He was familiar with Greek philosophy and poetry, of Koine and Roman customs, be also bad considerable knowledge. Be therefore could meet with success tbe philosophy of Greece, tbe paganism of Rome and tbe unbelief of his fellow countrymen, the Jews. Tbe people of other nations are not lacking in mental capacity. The religious leaders are shrewd in argumentation. Many of them are keen sophists and cannot be successfully reached with Christianity unless tbe missionaries ".' be unusually equipped mentally as well as spiritually for their work. The church today as never before is sending Its brightest and best educated mfn and women as missionaries, which is the proper thing to do. 2. Missionaries need adaptation to win souls for Christ. Taul possessed this power. To the Jew be became as a Jew. to tbe Greeks as a Greek, etc. Missionaries as far as possible should adapt themselves to tbe people among whom tbey labor. Be as mucb like them and lire as mucb like tbem as can be done. Tbe missionary among the miners, who dressed as tbey did. and went down into the mines as tbey did, bad no difficulty In winning tbem for Christ. Had be remained above ground, clothed himself In clerical garb and erected a regular church building be would have bad but few to bear his message. But becoming one of tbem that he mlgbt save some, tbey were glad to bear and to accept bis message. BIBLE HEADINGS. Isa. ill. 1-7; Nah. i. 15: Matt. x. 1-10: xxvlii. '19.

,1 The New Phillips. Tonight the last of the thrilling melodrama, "The Wife's Peril." This is the most interesting play that has yet been produced by the stock com pany. To be followed on Monday night by the funniest of all farce comedies, "The Runaway Match." "The Right of Way." In the case of the dramatized "Right of Way" which comes to the Gennett next Thursday with Hallett Thompson in the role of Charley Steele, the de parture from the book is worth notic ing. Exactly how it affects the development was explained in Harper's, who published the original novel, by way of comparing the points of view of the author and playwright. Mr. Eugene Presbrey Jn his staje version allows three years to elapse between the second and third scenes. In the book the period is eight months and this extension of time opens up the avenue for everything that follows. Steele is shown in the third scene liv ing oblivious of tho past, his memory a blank beyond the time when he awoke to find himself in Portugals hut. For three years he has lived thus, and in the new environment he has become a new man. Also and this is the point on which the whole play hinges he has fallen in love with Rosalie, and is beloved by her. In the book love comes 'slowly, and after Steele has recovered his memory and is in full possession of a knowledge of the past. "The Climax." The incidental music in the Climax which comes , to the Gennett next Wednesday is of vital importance to this musical play and is really the canvas upon which the striking picture has been pal.ited. Joseph Carl Breil composed all the music for this play and has contributed to the musical world one number that will rank with the best effort of the classical composers of Europe. It is entitled "The Song of a Sonl." Not since the days of the "Last Rose of Summer" and "Home Sweet Home" has there been a song which is going to live and going to hold such a strong hold in the minds of the people. j The Golden Butterfliy. The scenes of the "Golden Butterfly." the new comic onera by Reginald de Koven and Harrr B. Smith, which will be one of the star attractions here this se?3on. are laid in Buda Pesth, and the music has a delightbul Bohemian tinge. The " distinct features of The Goldei Butterfly" is a real operatic Jove story, being a return to the legitimate light opera i of former days, when this line of entertainment was the rage. , This new j opera has been heard by thousands of ! people in every city it has thus far; been presented In. It remained longer in New York than any comic opera has done in the last twenty years. which is an indication that Gotham is anxious for r. change from . the hodge-podge musical comedy.

"Mary Jane's Pa." - When - mod era Enoch - Aniens come
home, they generally find a divorce court staring them in the face, but. while not so poetical as the creature of Tennyson's imagination, Hiram Perkins, the beloved vagabond in "Mary Jane's Pa" the play in which Henry W. Savage will present Henry E. Dixey at the Gennett Tuesday, October 5, is found among surroundings which, while modern and pastoral are by no means nrosaic or conventional. And Hiram Perkins is not forced to go away and leave his wife In the arms of another nun. In this play by Edith Ellis he redeems himself and wins asain the love of his wife. The agency used ' by Miss Ellis to bring about this result is the love of his little daughters, for as Hiram says in the last act: "What greater thing in life is there than the love of little children?" Mr. Savage has produced "The Love Cure," "The Florist Shop." "The Gay Hussars" and "Made.rae X for the cosmopolite, but he has given us Americans "Mary Jane's Pa." It Is a splendid example of the versatility of this producer. We are sure of the excellence of all these new Savage productions, and doubly sure of the appealing drama, comedy and pathos of the story of little Mary Jane and her Pa. A lady once asked ZangwiH to write something in her little boy's diary, so that he might always remember the day when he first saw the famous writer. Mr. ZangwiH slowly turned over the leaves of the diary, reading here and there such phrases as: "Got a reward of merit, "Had a birthday i party," "Tonsilitis," etc. Talcing up a pen. the author wrote on the first blank page: "December the Zangwillitisr Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as thev cannot reach the feat of the disease 1 Catarrh is a blood or constitutional j diiiea.se. and in order to cure It you must take internal remedies.

This epistle is divided into several sections, beginning with the words "Now, concerning. cr "Now, as touching (vll. 1; vili. 1; xli, 1; xvi, 1), and our lesson is In tbe portion which begins with rill. Tu -Now. as touching things offered unto idols. While recognizing that our idol is nothing and that meat commendetn us not to God. yet be says. "If moat make my brother to offend I will eat no flesh while the world standeth lest I make my brother to offend" (vliL 13). Whatever be did er refrained from doing It was for the gospel's sake lest the gospel of Cbrist should be hindered and that he might by all cleans save some (lx. 12. 22. 23i. Referring to some events In the history of Israel, he says that all these things happened to them for our examples and admonition, and he reminds us that God is faithful, who will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able (x. 11-13). He would have us know that all our life Is either unto God or the devil and that, while we may lawfully do certain things, we must not come under the power of anything or any one but tbe Lord aloue (vt. 12; x. 23. God having made us so rich In Christ that all things are ours, things present and things to come (ill. 21-23). we are not here to seek anything for ourselves, but only the welfare of others that they. too. may be saved and have the same riches in Christ and then go out to seek others (x. S3). Love seek eth not her own. and He who was God manifest in the flesh neTer lived to please Himself nor to seek His own will or glory in anything (xlli. 5; Rom. xv, 3; John v. 30; vl. 3S; vtll. 50). raul had to write' to the rhlllppians. "All seek their own. not tbe things which re Jesus Christ's." "Many walk, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping that tbey are the enemies of tbe cross of Christ, whose end Is destruction, whose God Is their belly and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things' (Phil. IL 21: lit. IS. 19). The twice repeated saying In verses 26. 28. "Tbe earth Is the Lord's and the fullness thereof," 1s from the psalm . which speaks of those . with clean bands and pure hearts who seek tbe God of Jacob and open wide tbe gates to the King of Glory. When He is on tbe throne of our hearts we will not be heard asking silly questions about what we may eat or not est, nor will we bow down to any Idols within or without but the one supreme thought will always be to please Him. to honor nim. to magnify Him. so that others may want to know Him to whom we have by Ills grace become so devoted. When we become thus spirit filled, drunken with the new wine of the kingdom, filled with Joy and peace by be'ievlng. some will be drawn away from the beastly drunkenness of earthly things to tbe love that Is better than wine, for which so many souls are longing all unconsciously. Is it not because the poor worldling sees nothing in professing Christians that can begin to compare with bis "pleasures of sin for a season" that he holds on to bis evil ways? The God of this world, under whose control the children of disobedience live, says to his blinded ones concerning tbe church people, so called: "Look at tbem. They go to cbnrch and sing and pray on Sunday, and tbe rest of tbe week they come to ns in order to be happy. 111 do better for yon than their God. Come my way all tbe time. Let us eat and drink and be merry, for there Is no lake of fire nor place of torment. No men of learning believe tbe Bible any more, and Jeans was only -a good man who did wondrously while be lived, but He is gone.. and there are no more like Him." Does this sound familiar? Is It all about yon? Do you bear it on every side? Then let.lt be a proof to you that the whole world lletb In the wicked one. tbe father of lies, murderer from the beginning, for whom tbe everlnstlDg fire has been prepared, and turn from him and all his lies to Him who gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from the wrai.to j"e and from this nrescnt

Unique Place cf Christian Endeavor. That the Christian Ideavor noclety ha a uuliue plnc In the life of the modern rliurrb Is proved by tbe history of nenrly twenty -eight yeera and by the fart thrit when one society for local cauws b railed to fill Its niche a srerr hare sprung up to take Its place. This how the endnrlnfi and self propagating life that there Is In tbe Kodeavor Idea. Tbe Christian Endeavor cause was one of the Inevitable things In church life. It was iHJund to come. The need was there. The place was Tacant. Its need wns felt by ten thousand pastors and church workers. It had only to tie suggested to be adoptee. Never did 1 feel tbe truth of tnie more than todsy. when In foreign countries among people who speak many different languages I And societies of Christian Endeavor spring' Ing up everywhere, simply because tbey are needed and because tbey sup ply a long felt want Id the church life that no other organisation baa fllled. First, then, their unique place la a distinctly religions place It may seem strange to sneak of this as a unique place In tbe chnrrb life. Can there be anything In the church life tbat ta not distinctly religious? There certainly can be and are such organizations whose aim Is distinctly social ot merely moral. I am not In any way disparaging tbem. It Is well for people to get acquainted with one another, and to this end It to well to bare a society. If It Is needed, to promote acquaintance. It is well to . tenth young people manliness and womanliness, temperance and parity. -In a sense all these things are religious, but tbey need a spiritual basis te make them enduring and efficient. Tbe Christian Endeavor society finds this basis in tbe weekly prayer meeting and the monthly consecration meeting and In the pledge which keeps tbem vital - and vigorous snd which provides also for personal prayer and Bible reading. In this respect, so fat as I know, this society and those modeled after It are uulqne among the organizations of the church for young people. There are none others founded on prayer and tbe prayer meeting and so closely welded to IL Francis U Clark. D.D LL.D.
