THE RELIGIOUS PLAY
The one -act religious play entitled
!`For He Had Great Possessions," by
Dorothy Clark Wilson, was present,
ed in Ontario' Street Unitkd church
last Thursday evening, under the
auspiees of the Y. P. L., the cast be-
ing composed entirely ofleague
members.
The play 'centres around the inci-
dent in Christ's 'ministry ;of the rich
young ruler, who came to Him with
the question, "Good Master, what
must I do to bb inherit eternal life?"
to whom the Master said, "Go sell
all that thou hast and give to the
poor and come, follow 'Me," But . he
"went away sorrowful, for he had
great possessions." The young peo-
ple had been rehearsing their parts
for some weeks and their presenta-
tion was very •nicely done.
The characters were as follows:
Kenneth Elliott as Ben Aezl, the rich
young man;.Pred Snary as,Johanan,
friend of Ben Azel; Kenneth Reid as
Jakkai, chief ,!tax collector of Jericho,
Murray Dale as Mason, steward of
Ben Azel; Francis Powell as Bar Tim:
aeus, a blind anan; Elnora McInnes
(is Asenarth, wife of Ben Azel, pam-
pered, petulant and dissatisfied; Dor,
is Miller as Hadassah, daughter of
Bar Timaeus, and companion of Azar,
a child of .wealth; Edna Elliott and
Eva Gilbert as Leah. and Miriam,,
handmaids of Asenarth; Pearl Elliott
as Azar, the ehild.
It was a touching interpretation
of, the passages of Scripture upon
which the play was founded.

trip and refuse to take their wives.
Blanche Dillingham (Irene Scotch-

become suspicious and to cover up
the truth Mr. Dillingham and Mr,
Ruggles say they had Charlie Brooks
and his wife on board as they intend-
ed to sell the yacht to him. Blanche
and Mrs. Ruggles insist that they
must go and visit Mrs. Brooks, whom
they have never met, to see if this
is true, but the men say this is un-
necessary, as she is corning to call on
them and they get "Bobby" Slocum
to impersonate her.

PASSING OF F. W. TYNDALL
The news of ;the death of Frederick.
W Tyndall of Hullett, just north of
town, came as "a shock to the citi-
zens of the community on Monday
morning. He had been ill for some
Months but his condition had ,seemed
to be improving and death came very
suddenly.
Mitt Tyndall was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Loren Tyndall and was born on
the homestead and bad lived all his
life in the community. Ten years
ago he went into partnership with his
brother-in-law, Mr. C. D. Connell, and
they dealt in cattle andconducted a
butchering business in :Clinton, the
partnership being in effect up to the
time of his ,death:
He is survived- by his wife, form-
erly Miss Myrtle A. Connell, only
daughter of Mr..and Mrs. W'. D. Con-
nell,and two sons and one daughter:
Weldon aged.rhirteen, Doris aged ele-
ven and Bruce aged six. His parents
and four brothers and a sister also
survive:. Frank of Hullett, Roy, in
Goderich township, Clifford, .Toronto
and Norman in Tuckersmith, and
Mrs. Howard Trewartha of Mullett.
Mr. Tyndall was a young man who
had the respect of all who knew him
and his early demise is sincerely re-
gretted by a wide circle of friends.
He was a member of Ontario street
church and the pastor of that church,
Rev. F. G. Perrin, conducted the ser-
vice at '-the family residence yester
day afternoon.
The pallbearers 'were the four
brothers and two brothers-in-law.'
The flower bearers were: C. Levy, F.
VanEgmond, E. Welsh, N. Ilolland,
M, Wiltse, P. Plumsteel, E. Brown
and F. Andrews: Interment was
made in Clinton cemetery.`

(Miss Gay Whitmore) turns up to
find her husband with another woman,
but things seem comfortably settled
in the .Dillingham and Ruggles fam-
ily until the real owner of the gloves,
8n actress (Miss Reta Beacom) ap-
pears. She had accompanied the men
on the trip to see about buying some
land for her husband as a surprise
and she wanted it kept a secret. Tho'
she is ,successfully whisked off, into
another room, her umbrella which she`
left behind betrays her presence. Fin,
ally Ms. Ruggles discovers her
in person when she conies back for
her umbrella, which was arecent pre-
sent from her jealous husband, (Mr.
Clayton Elliott) the two men quickly.
pass her off as a girl who has applied
for the position of a maid, whom the
women of the house are badly in
need of. The men say they had hid,
den her because they thought she
was too pretty and might arouse
jealousy, but the storm ,bhrrsts again
when her husband comes for her.
The two wives and ' also Mrs.
Brooks decide to sue for divorce.
While, hiding behind a screen to ob-
tain secret information they learn
the truth of the matter and the hus-
bands are forgiven on the grounds.
that they will take their wives back
to live in town.
The-perforniance'was well attend-
ed and the proceeds amounted to $36.
