THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1S25 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CUNTON, S. C. CLINTON HEARS CHICORA CLUB Junior Class of College Sponsors En tertainment Given By Glee i Club From Columbia. (From The Bl> e Stocking) The Glee Club of ChicAra College put on its best concert here in many years last Friday night. From start to finish they showed plainly they had been effectively and successfully di rected. Their voices were splendid, with harmony, melody and everything that makes up a good club. The program was divided in tree parts and each was splendidly carried out. In Part I, after the' usual Chicora introduction, there were songs by the club, solos, and a duet. Nota ble among this section of the pro gram were: The solo by Miss Isabel Monteith, who won so many hearts by her wonderful voice last year, and who did likewise last night; we have a brilliant future predicted for this Chicora beauty; the club’s rendition of Kentucky Mountain Folk Songs” was original and unique;; Miss Price’s solos were good, and so on and on; but we must have a limit. Miss Cur rie’s solos were delightfully render- Part II, “Entra’acte (Special Fea ture) Folk Songs in Costume, Miss Ruth Mayes. “Nuff ’sed,” for those who heard and saw her to recall her beautiful voice and her magnetic per sonality. Dressed in the fashion of a girl of the Sixties, she made a pic ture of beauty and grace that cannot too easily be forgotten. Last, but far from being least, was the well-acted, well-written, well-di rected, well-sung, well-anything opera. It was truly as good—no, far bet ter—than anyone had anticipated. It was laughs to the right of tfs, laughs to the left of us, and laughs all around us. The librettist and con ductor is to be congratulated on get ting up such an attractive entertain ment Each character was good; but a trio stood out prominently: Misses Monteith, Drake, and Price. Below is given a synopsis of the play: Part III “LUCI DE LAWNMOWER” A Socialistic Opera in Three Acts. Libbrettist and Conductor, Miss Mary Jarman. Cast of Characters: King Tut—Sharrah Hazz Benne. The Queen of Sheba (his wife)— Olivia Bologna. Luci (their daughter)—Dolores Cap- prisioso. AntLProhib (the King's sister)— Marie Zharmain. Prince Prophylactic—Isadore de Teeth.

Luci and the Prince are caught try- PAGE ELEVEN THE WOOD THRUSH The Wood Thursh differs most con spicuously from the other thrushes in that the brown color of its back fades into a dark olive hue on the tail and wings, and the large black spots on its breast continue along the sides. In spite of the fact that it some times invades the shrubbery of our lawns, this- thrush usually chooses damp woods and thickets for its home. Hert, hidden from prying eyes, the Wood Thursh builds its nest of twigs and leaves lined with clay on a hori zontal limb from five to ten feet above | the ground, where it lays four green ish-blue eggs. Although the Wood Thursh has only a single alarm note sounding like the wor4 “quit” repeated sharply, its song, however, is of wonderful range and beauty, whose liquid notes heard, in the early morning or late evening is suing from the depths of the woods, is most delightful even to the unitia- ted. Many bird-lovers think that the vo cal ability of the Wood Thursh com pares most favorably with, if not equals that of the mojre noted Hermit Thursh. Few who have ever heard the flute-like notes of the Wood Thursh will long question its ability. THE CAROLINA WREN The Carolina Wren is easily dis- tinguishtd from the other wrens by its larger size and by the conspicu ous white line over its eyes. The background color of reddish-brown, which is marked on the tail and wings with fine black bars, gradually fades into a cream-buff on the under |>art8. Although the Carolina Wren seems to prefer the country, it is frequently found in the vicinity of houses, and with a little kind treatment, becomes quite tame. Five to seven white eggs, speckled with reddish-brown, are laid in a nest of grass-, feathers, and leaves, which is built in hollow trees, bird boxes, or placed in crevices about houses where the wren often returns year after ye^r if left undisturbed. In the Carolina Wren, we have a cli max to the nervous energy which is so characterisitic of all wrens. It flits from place to place continually, peering furtively here and there, and accompanies all its movements with a variety of thrills and calls. These calls, which are remarkably strong for so Ismail a bird, are usually uttered in short thrills and at times sound as if the bird were repeating the words, “cheerily, cheerily,” in rapid succes sion. Its singing ability and other pleas ing habits combine to make the Caro lina Wren one of our most interesting and useful common birds, and its presence about our homes should be encouraged whenever possible. ing to elope with it. As a result of a cruel blow he falls dying into Luci’s arpis. The King, just as he proposes a toast to the bride, realizes there has been treachery. He forces the other members of the quartette to drink. The four lie down elaborately to die, Luci is crazed by the untimely demise of her intended.

OOLDEN TEXT—“The Lord Is rtaoa Indeed."—Luke S4:S4. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jeeue Rlsee From the Dead. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Rleen Proa the Dead. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Christ’s Victory Over Death. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Proofs of the Resurrection of Jeeua The resurrection of Christ is one of the foundation truths of Christianity. Its entire superstructure stands or falls upon its reality. It Is the grand proof that Christ was what He claimed to be, the Messiah, the Son of God (Matt 12:89-40; John 2:19-21). His resurrection authenticated his claims. If Jesus, did not rise from Joseph’s tomb, He was not the Son of God, not a true prophet (He said frequently while alive that He would arise), neither a Savior; not even a good man, for He would then be a falsifier. However, If He did arise, all that He said concerning Himself Is true. His resurrection declared Him to be the Son of God with power (Rom. 1:4). I. The Empty Tomb (w. 1-10). John does not enter Into a descrip tion of the resurrection of Christ, but says the tomb was empty, and that Jesus had repeatedly manifested Him self after the tomb was found empty. To see the bpdy of Christ with a spear thrust and nail prints, and then the empty tomb was all that faith needed. 1. The Testimony of Mary Magda lene (w. 1-2). This woman out of whom Jesus had cast seven demons (Mark 16:9; Luke 8:2), announced the fact of the empty tomb to Peter and John. Prompted by great love to Him for His kindness to her, she went early to the tomb even “when It was yet dark.” “She was last a( the cross, and first at the grave. She stayed longest there and was soonest here.” This woman’s love for the Master was genuine though her knowl edge as to His resurrection was defec tive. She had realized great good at His hand, therefore she could not rest until she had done her utmost for Him. 2. Personal Investigation by Peter and John (vv. 3, 10). The news of the empty tomb which Mary brought with breathless haste so moved John and Peter that both ran to Investigate. When John came to the empty tomb he gazed Into it, but Pe ter entered It. This Investigation con vinced them. The removal of the stone from the sepulcher and the arrange ment of the grave clothes convinced them that the enemy could not have done this. II. The Manifestation of the Risen Lord (vv. 11-29). 1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 11-18). (1) Mary Weeping at the Empty Tomb (v. 11). Peter and John went home, but Mary could not. She stood weeping. Home was nothing to her while her Lord was missing. Earnest love need not weep long for Jesus is found of those who love Him. She should have been rejoicing that the grave was empty, for the empty tomb was eloquent proof of His messlah- ship and deity. Had His body been there she would have had real cause for weeping. (2) Mary Questioned by the Angels (vv. 12-13). £he viewed through her tears angels at the tomb who inquired as to the cause of her sorrow. She replied, “Because they have taken away my Lord and I know not where they have laid Him.” (3) Jesus Reveals Himself to Mary (vv. 14-10). She first saw the angels and then her eyes lighted upon the Lord. As soon as He called her by name she recognized Him and fell at His feet weeping. (4) Jesus Forbade Her to Touch Hlrq, (v. 17). This showed that she was coming into a new relationship to Him ; besides there was not time for such familiarity while the disciples were in darkness. “Go tell my breth ren.” was the message she must carry. (5) Mary’s Testimony (v. 18). She told the disciples that she had seen the Lord. 2. To the Disciples (vv. 19-29). (1) When Thomas Was Absent (vv. 19-23). a. His message of pence (v. 19). b. He showed His hands and His side (v. 20). c. He commissioned them (v. 21). d. He defended the power that was bestowed upon them (v'. 23). (2) When Thomas? Was Present (vv. 24-29). a. Victory of sight and touch (w. 24-28). b. Greater blessings for those who believe, not having seen (v. 29).
