The A. Y. P. A. was entertained on Monday evening, Nov. 26th, in the basement of the church when Mr. Roberts gave a very interesting talk' on Wales. The area of Wales is just 7446 mil- es, but in that small area there are 2,000,000 people. The land is very hilly and rocky. - Mt. Snowden, one of the largest mountains is 3571 feet high. The hills of Wales are very rich in minerals. North Wales is not- ed for its slate. The Penman's slate quarries were situated just five miles from. Mr. Roberts' home town. South Wales is noted for its coal, iron and copper. The name, Wales, is of Anglo-Sax- on origin. The people themselves are very superstitious and emotional. They are all singers. Once every year a great singing festival is held in one of the cities of Wales. Thous- ands of people attend these festivals and it is a very impressive ceremony. In our Anglican Book of Praise we. have many of the Welshhymn tunes. There are many legends attached to Wales. Tlie one best known to us perhaps, is that of Gelert's Grave. J. he Church of Etigland holds 'sway in Wales and the remainder are for the most part divided into three sects Congregationalists, Methodists and Baptists" Following this very interesting lec- ture, Mr. Templeman sang two old. Welsh airs "Tros-y-Gareg" and "Gwenyth .' Gwyn"' and Ur. Spittal sang "Clychan Aberdovey" The second part of the programme consisted of a set of very beautiful pictures from Wales and tite North of England. The meeting closed with the bene- diction. The programme for next week will be "Newspaper Night". This is alt- other novelty bight in tate forth of a social. Everybody welcome.

ATTENDED Lucknow Player's Stage Play Here That Pleased Audience • The St. Peter's Dramatic Club of Lucknow, presented a three -act play "Peggy's Double" 'in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening under the aus- pices of the Triple ;V Class of the United Church. The play was very humorous and the acting of Rev. J. Geoghegan as "William Winkler" and the impersonations of - Greg: Leith, are deserving of special men- tion. The cast was as follows: Ting, Melvin Johnston; Sam, George Hass- all; Bobbie Baxter and Peggy's Dou- ble, Greg. ,Leith; Benjamin More, F. McQuillin; William Winkler, Rev. J. Geoghegan; Jane, Miss D, Cooke; Aunt Jane, Mrs. Hassall; Suzette, Miss F. McQuillan; Peggy, Mrs. J. Geoghegan. Misses Tena Reid and Marjorie Gibson entertained the audience with piano duets prior to the play com- mencing and Mr. Jack Reavie sang a solo between the first and second acts, • Following is a synopsis of the play: Jane is in love with Bobbie Baxter,. but according to her father's will she must marry Benjamin More, her guardian, who is to receive $10,000 if the conditions of the will are car- ried out, takes Jane to the Haleyon House to get her away from Bobbie Baxter. William Winkler, the guard- ian is in reality a gay old fellow and. has an affair with an actress, Peggy. Bobbie who arrives at the Haleyon in search of Jane, finds evidence of the gay doings of her guardian and tries to force his consent to his marriage to Jane. Winkler proves too clever for him and makes his niece and his old maid sister believe that it is Bob- bie and not himself who is having an affair with Peggy. Bobby in an en- deavor to clear himself impersonates Peggy and many amusing complica- tions occur. The real actress, Peggy, arrives and adds to the confsuion. Benjamin More arrives and falls in love with all the ladies in turn, even to Bobby, impersonating Peggy which occasions many humorus moments. Aunt Jane, the old maid sister of Mr. Winkler, would also like to marry and offered him another $10,000 if he se- cures a httsband for her. Through a technicality in the former will if Ben- jamin More should marry Aunt Jane the conditions of it would still be carried out. Peggy tricks him into such a 'proposal and the play ends with a triple rnarriage in the offing.
