Next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock the Oullmette Players, under the direction of Mrs. C.E. Douglass, will present in Pilgrim. Hall a iour act play entitled "The Pill Bottle by Margaret Applegarth. While the Ouilmette Players is still a young or- ganization it has already to its credit some unusually good presentations. The fact that the characters in the play on Wednesday night are all lo- cal people is in itself a matter of in- terest, while the training and the staging by Mrs. Douglass insures an intensely pleasant evening. A brief synopsis of the play follows: Act 1.-â€"The Sweet Girl Graduates. "Honestly. Jane, I feel as if I were at a funeral." Act 2.â€"Three Knocks in the Night. "Oh! Three knocks in the night and 1 could have answered them all 4f------=z Act 3.â€"Office Hours 3-5. "Don't you worry, I'll get a doctor to call on you." _Act 4.â€"The God of the Pill* Bottle. "1 really ought to go to Vespers but I'm too dead tired to move." The scenes of the play are laid in America and in India, and the char- meyer talked with his violin as only ' he can talk and he had to leave early to keep another engagement. Then came the big number on the pro- gram, for Brother Wood delivered one of the best Lincoln addresses that has been heard around these parts for several days.

Every teacher, in al^departments of the Sunday school, was present Sunday. A good showiiig„and a_gpod way to build up the school. Do it again. Dr. Rapp had the largest men's class Sunday that he has had since coming here. All men are in- vited. The Epworth league folks had a "Lincoln meeting Sunday night. They had to use some extra chairs.

Opinions, of course, differ very widely as to what, a church should be and also as to what it should do. We are always confronted with the question as to how far we should go irrncrmforming to the ideas of our constituency, and to what extent we may be able to persuade the people to conform to the policies and tradi- tions of the church. We are bound both to gain and to lose which ever program we adopt. The success of the church, however, depends upon the proper solution of ttiis problem.
