Ebenezer Lutheran church council met last night with every member present and unanimously refused to accept the resignation of the Rev. C. A. Freed, D. D., as pastor of the con- \ gregation. A. W. Fogle, secretary of ! the board, will officially notify the; council of the Church of the Redeemer at Newberry of the action taken at the important session. That congregation called Dr. Freed and he offered his resignation last week. Ebenezer church council considered the resignation of Dr. Freed, and the members praised the work of the be* J a 4.1 i x luvea pa.si.ur auu spime ui cue g;cai opportunities in Columbia for the religious leader. The council sent a , committee composed of Dr. C. L. Kibler and Dr. S. E. Harmon to notifp Dr. Freed >f the action taken, and the pastor was called to the meeting. Every member of the church board appealed to the pastor to remain with i a*-- i.1 J T\- T7*?. ~ ~ lae congregauoa uuu . r i ccu ?as deeply impressed with the earnestness of the men.

The announcement J that he h&d tendered his resignation i was the cause of many expressions of regret in hospitals/ at the Confederate home, alms house and in numerous . homes outside of Dr. Freed's own congregation. Men and women from . all denominations expressed the hoiK that the Lutheran pastor would not . leave the capital city where he had ; achieved so much and held so many warm friends. Dr. Freed ranks among , the leading Lutheran ministers in America. Coming to Columbia in 1903 Dr. 1 Freed met with instant favor. Since ( he assumed the pastorate, the church . has acquired valuable property, and ? a commodious brick Sunday school ; has been constructed.

Mammoth Super-Drama It is not often that any film concern can essay really mammoth screen productions in this age of mounting prices, because at the outset the cost it prohibitive. David W. Griffith's ''Intolerance" was the last photoplay of this class and proportion. But now comes the First National with what is claimed to be perhaps the biggest super-drama of them all. It is entitled "Passion" and is described as "the foremost screen epic." Some idea of the size of this production can be gained by contemplating the fact that five thousand persons are in the cast. A further insight to the immensitv of this feature spectacle is given in the claim that the ordinary motion picture camera was too limited in its scope to photograph all the action of certain of the unusual mob scenes in this release and consequently on ingenious new invention had to be devised with surprisingly gratifying results. Further, the introduction of Pola Negri, the famous pontinen tal star, in this photoplay, is said to amount to a revelation in the depth and power of the silent drama. It is enthusiastically claimed for her that she has set a new high standard in charcater delineation in pantomime. "Passion" is announced as the attraction at the opera house for Monday and Tuesday and the management has made arrangements for a record-breaking business in view of " """anflnnolli. krilHonf Vt?ni1 t.ntlOn LI IC CAOC^lIViJttUji Viu*iw..v this feature has attained in the other cities in which it has been exhibited. The story, is said to be replete with subtle thrills and it unfolds one of the most appealing love stories yet recorded, if one can judge by the advance press sheets giving the synopsis. The fact that the principal character is a little Freeh milliner wfcn risos to such a olace of oromi nence that she is able to rule the king of her land is sufficient inkling of the interesting potentiality of the narrative. She rises only to fall again and the depicting of her downward journey is even more thrilling than her plimh nn the ladder of fame. Once she is brought back to her old ground amonc the lowly masses, she finds herself the helpless target for universal hatred which knows no mercy. Her ultimate f:itr is inevitably tragic.
