The play was given under the ausples of the Christian Endeavor Boclety of the local Reform- ed church. The house wes crowded, every reserved seat blocked out having been sold, This was the second rendition of the play by the Boalsburg aggregation. The first effort was in Boal Hall, in the home town, and the third will be in Pine Grove Mills, Friday night of this week, The play, of course, was humorous in character, and was at the expense of a congregation during the period of selecting and receiving by the various church working bodies of a new minister, Thechoir, the sewing circle and the ladies’ ald society, as well as tho daughters of marrisgeable age in the congregation were prominent in their sugzestions, insistant in their manners, and very real, too. It will not be detracting from the ability and enthusiasm displayed by every participant to say that Albert Gingerich was the real life of the entertainment. He played as promi- nant pari—‘hat of the sexton—and everyone knows that the sexton, a real sexton, is the power behind the throne in every church, Mr, Giogerich was an ideal character, always in line in the crucial hour either with jrs* or gong. Ia song he was loudly applaud. ed and in comic role greeted with laughter. Financially the play was also a success, the receipts at the door having been $85 00, After tha play the ama teurs were given a reception in the basement of the Reformed church at which u light lunch was served.
