EVANGELISTIC APPEAL
The Call To Repentance Has
Never Been Revoked, Says
Conservation Committee
CHICAGO, March 13.—‘The call
to repentance has never been re
voked” says the Board of Bishops of
the Methodist Epi eopal chare,m an
appeal for an intensive evangelistic
effort on the part of ail nv-moers of
the church, issued tm'iiy by the Com
mittee on Convei dio;; .aid advance
tarot.;-: ii o.i i -ponding sc reary,
Dr. R. J. Wade, Chicago.
‘‘The unsaved multitudes are as de
stitute of the go-pel and a per ana!
interest in the atonement ol Jesus
Christ as the far off heathen for
whose salvation we give and pray,”
says the appeal.
“Shall not bishops, superinten
dents, pastors, college presidents,
league leaders, Sunday school teach
ers, laymen, and all other loyal mem
bers dedicate themselves to some de
finite form of soul-winning endea
vor?
‘Shall we not now give ourselves
without reserve to an intensive evan
gelistic effort. That will mean that
our pulpits shall flame with an evan- |
gelistic passion; that our pews shall I
catch the fire. It will mean that the I
members of our women’s missionary ’
societies shall turn their extraordin- ;
ary organization talent and bound
less enthusiasm into the channels of |
personal evangelism. It will mean,
that for a season, all the forces of I
the local church shall be focused up- i
on this one thing, and be fired by i
this one dominating purpose and pas- I
sion.
“Shall we not go in for a prayer- ;
ful, systematic, passionate, unyield
ing movement to arouse the church j
and the community to a sense of their '
spiritual need. Shall we not pray |
without ceasing and labor with ae- I
tual desperation for the mightiest re
vival of religion which has ever come
to our church?
‘That revival should start in. thirty
thousand Methodist. Episcopal ser
vices.
“And it must not ceade until its
vitalizing power has been carried
everywhere.”

FIELDS MINSTRELS WAS
SUPERB SHOW LAST NIGHT
Bert Swor, dean of minstrelsy
since the death of Al G. Field, with
hi company of black-faced artists,
Jim Swor, John Healy, Nick Hufford
and Rody Jordan, together with a
score of sweet singers, delighted a
select audience at the Rylander the
ater last evening in a production
which far excelled any former es
-1 forts of which the Al G. Field’s Min
: strels fame as De Luxe entertainers
i is known throughout the country .
The ball last evening was a har-
I monious blend of minstrelsy, old and
new, the opening scene being aboard
' the steamboat “Robert E. Lee” on
the Mississippi, which represented
that famous boat of other days, when
the darkies made the welkin ring
with their plantation songs of that
I period.
Another pretty scene of the pres-
I ent time was on the golf links,
| whilst a glimpse into the future was
j a trip to the planet Mars depicting
j a pretty fanciful picture of what is
j to be seen on that far away globe. .
Carl Cameron’s “Saxoland Five”
I was the musical treat of the evening.
The dancing and merry-making of
the black-faced artists, their quips
and the*r humor were of course fea
tures of the evening, decidedly the
best which has been given Americus
minstrel lovers in" a long while, a
show of decided merit which does not
fail to entertain whenever they come
this way. —B. W.

LAURETTE TAYLOR STARS i
IN “PEG O’ MY HEART” . I
The work of bringing the master- I
pieces of the stage within reach of !
every home, into communities never i
reached by stage performances, has I
another striking contribution in the j
translation to the v.’orld of the screen I
of the famous stage play, “Peg O’ My j
Heart,” in which Laurette Taylor !
made her memorable characteriza- I
tion of I’eg which has become
world-wide in fame.
“’Peg 0’ My Heart,” now a Metro
picture, with Laurette Taylor appear
ing in her famous role, .comes to the
Rylander theater for two days be
ginning Wednesday. This fascinat
ing tale of J. Hartley Manners’ con
ception, with Ireland and England
as the background, and the elfin
ways and humors and pathos of the
nfotherless little girl providing the
main theme, has had 0,608 sta,ge
performance in the United States.
Laurette Taylor created the foie and
has been identified with it ever since,
even being known as Peg Taylor.
It’s a tale of an Irish father and
an English mother, of the Chichesters
and kingsworths, and of Sir Gerald
Adair, Peg-’s legal guardian; and of

in years. It is “Human Hearts,’’ a |
Universal-Jewel, adapted by Lucien - 1
Hubbard from the famous old drama <
by Hal Reid, and it deserves arid is ;
attaining the same great national
success that distinguished its stage
i predecessor.
i
The cast is absolutely perfect and j
much skill has been shown by Di- ;
rector King Baggett, also an exeep- ;
tional taste in values.
The story is built up without un
due delay and contains a quality
which leaves one with a wholesome
respect for old-fashioned right liv
ing people. The drama may be said
to rest upon four pillars as clearly
symbolical as those of the old Greek
tragedies.
The father, strength; the mother,
faith; the son, sacrifice; and the son’s
wife, treachery and ultimate atone- i
ment.
Into the family life of an austere
I folk of an Ozark Mountain commun-.,
I ity comes a mountain woman of
I doubtful history, determined to mar-
I ry the eldest son that she may in- ■
herit his rich coal lands. From the
time she leaves her confederate, serv
ing a term in jail, until the birth
of her child, she adapts herself to
their way of living, so much so, that ;
even the old father who instinctively i
distrusts hes has almost become rec- ■
onsiled to his son’s choice. As a I
matter of fact, she had half-way re
formed. ■
