FOR EARLY DLOSWG[THE SPORT RENEW (Continued from Page 1.) ] portant to do, but to go into a five- cent whow, and then, perhaps, order some groceries on the way home, _and ask to have them sent that night. My, the poor delivery boy. "If you must buy late on Saturday night, then carry home your own parcels. (Applause. ) A great many will tell you that they do not get their pay until Saturday pight. Well, surely your credit is g for a few hours. Get your order in early, and then call later and pay. 1 believe that there is mueh evil brought about more by the want of thought than of heart. 1f housekeepers would only think, they would not hesitate to shop early. They should ever keep before them the golden rule, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Put yourself in their place. There is no better way. I look over my congregation some times, and, 1 think there are a great many absent, and 1 find that they are the merchants or clerks, who have been up late. Sun- day morning they take their ease, and come out to service at night. We ought to have more respect for the Lord's day." Rev. Mr Sparling seconded Rev. Dr. MacTavish's resolution, before taking his seat. : i Rev. D. Laing favored the holding of a revival in the city, but said that he did nat believe it would be possible to secure Gypsy Smith for the ser- vices. As regards closing the stores early, he was heartily in sympathy with the movement. The public, he said, waé a terrible master, but not intentionally 'so. If the storekeepers closed early, and the citizens under- stood the agreement, he believed that it would work out satisfactorily. ; Rev. H. D. Whitmore also spoke in favor of early closing and a strict ob- servance of the Sabbath day. Rev. T: E. Burke said that stores in Londen, Eng., closed at p.m., Saturdays, and surely the stores in Canada could do likewise. If we could not get the big corporations to observe the Sabbath, then we could observe the day ourselves. He would be very sorry to observe the Sabbath in the way some people, who called themselves Christians, observed it. There were clubs in the city, furnished | with a liquor license, and liquor was disposed of on Sunday. The speaker also wished to make a plea for the f LIND. INVASION PLAY TOO OVERDRAWN TO BE SERIOUSLY TAKEN. "An Englishman's Home' Wit- nessed By a Large Audience-- It Depicts Englishmen As Be- ing Like a Lot of Inbeciles. At the Grand opera house last evening a large audience witnessed the production of Du Mawfer's "An Englishman's Home," the play that took the British pyblic by storm, that was hissed apd hooted in Germany, and which is causing Canadians to wonder if there really exists in Eng- land such a lot of silly asses and sis- sies as the play leads people in foreign lands to believe constituté the pro- vincial classes and the militia. hat this picture of England's condition is ta is decidedly certain but ii it is not the sooner the German or any other invader goes through the land dnd put such people to the sword the better it will be for Eng- land. If the play had been wfitten by a German as a satire upon the British nothing would have been thought of it, but for the play to be brought forth in England itself is almost be- yond conception. Canadians do not care to think that there are districts of such imbeciles in England, Giving outside the asylums and sanitariums, as are the Brown son and daugliters, and so many delightful fools as "Geoffrey Smith'; nor that there ex- ist such idiots as the "men" who re- presented the militia defending Brown's home. Nearly all the chev- acters are devoid of even the ele- ments of common sense, England may be unprepared for a land in- vasion, but it mw not thickly popu- lated with idiotic people. Tha pray was written to rouse England to a sense of danger, and it seems to have succeeded. It's a wonder, however, that Englishmen would go crazy over such a play. The Irish or the Scotch would never stand for such a burles- que of their countrymen. There are many, however, and Englishmen themselves, the first act, vividly re presents the condition that cxisted in England up to a fow months ago, the people never dreaming of such a thing as a German invasion, even if thero were a telegraph strike and a lengthy SPECI In 40 Inch Unbleas 1,25C Yards Heavy Unbleachg story C Worth 12}c yard.

But the play is to be re garded as typical, as presenting the general aspect of things, and it is as such that it has to be considered.

For a human ass as the rble of 'Reggie Brown," by Edgar Norton, takes the cake, George M. Graham, the chief comedian, makes a capital happy-go- lucky who is only shows the an Englishman. a spectator when his country is attacked. The role of "Paul Robinson," the trained militia- man, who eulogized the advantage of drill and the danger of invasion, was well taken by Dallas Anderson, whose plea to the imbecilés of the Brown household drew forth the "wise" re mark from the young man Smit that his passionate speech was the re- sult of taking whiskey on an empty stomach... The rest of the support was "hdmirable. There was just one scene for the three atts, but the stage manipula- {ions in the third act were decidedly vealistic, the representation of the irown house being battered to pieces by the fire of the edemy, the atmos: phere of smoke, and the scene of (es- order being grand in the extreme. The sceno of a house afire in the dis- tance was thrilling, At the close, when the invaders were having every- thing their own way, and when Brown had been shot by -erder for killing a trerman soldier when he was only a civilian, "with no right to defend his country," the bagpipes are heard in the distance, and before the German Ihghlanders. melo-dramatic, but it arouses enthusiasm as the curtain falls and the orchestra strikes up '"'God .
