He has given to the stage a play that appeals in many ways to the hearts and minds of all theatre goers who delight in sensations and scenes of startling realism.

It will thus be seen what a wonderful change 22 years brings about in the life of a boy. There is not a black sheep among them; tbey are a credit to the generation to which they belong. There is a sense of satisfaction to the faithful Sunday School teacher to know for himself that the pupils he has taught in the Holy Scriptures have followed a high standard of morals. Some of them are live members of the church today, and are tilling responsible places in the congregation. The old teacher would be glad and rejoice to know that the boys he has taught in the Sunday.

School would take hold and teach other people's boys, and learn for themselves what degree of mental satisfaction there is in this good work when they know that tbey have done their duty as a citizen and member of Christ's family on earth.
