MEDFORD MAIL 'LOST CHURCH' IN TEACHES LESSON Presentation of "The Lost Church" by the drama club of the Epworth League excelled all expectations Sun day evening. i Howard Foffenbarger, who had the longest and hardest lines In the play, gave a marvelous portrayal of a worldly-wise man who scoffed and leered at the church but finally real ized that the church is responsible for the high Ideals of the world Janette Trill, who also had a hard part, gave a superb Interprestatlon of a mother, a faithful church sup porter. Lester Fay gave an excellent per form b nee of the son, who, studying for tbe ministry, labora under the difficulties of his father's sarcasm and ridicule, Margaret Bateman charm ingly characterized the small daugh ter who wanted her daddy to go to Sunday school to hear her speak her piece. Beth Gil lings gave a fine representation of the Sunday school teacher who was taking subscriptions for the church. Arthur Cook gave an effective execution of the modern business man who accepted the church merely aa a place for his children to spend Sunday morning. The first scene opens with the father and his son discussing the church. The mother comes home from the missionary society meeting with her small daughter. Later the Sun day school teacher comes to take a church subscription, but she curtly refuses It after the man finds fault with the church for spoiling hla only holiday of the week and making his only son a prearher. The sdene closes with the Spirit of the Church, beauti fully portrayed by Joyce Banish, granting the man's wish that the church and everything that the church la responsible for could be blotted off the earth. She Intro duces the four spirits that dwell In all places of the earth where the light of the gospel of Jesus never reached, Helen Power, Ignorance; Jean Qllllngs, Spiritual Darkness; Ruth LeClerc, Sin, and Marie Van Derm ark, Social Injustice. The second scene opens with the four spirits in the background. The daughter comes running In and sur prises her father by saying that it is such a nice day for a ride. She doesn't know yhat a church Is. While the man and his wife are looking out the window at the saloon where the church was standing a poor woman comes In. The man cannot under stand his wife, who acts so cruel to the woman and sends her away. Then the son comes in to tell his father that he has ruined him by forging a check. Following this comes the acci dent to his little daughter, who Is badly hurt, He Is dazed because his wife tells him there Is no hospital and the ' doctors would more than likely kill her with their strange remedies and eupors tit Ions. At Inter vals during the second act the spirits remind the man that It was the coming of Christ who brought com passion for the sick and suffering, education, prohibition, emancipation, hospitals, kindness and regard for others. The third scene opens with the visit of the neighbor who comes with the Sunday paper. The man tells the neighbor of his bad dream and takes him to the window and points out the church, the college, the hospital, and the settlement house; he asks him If he should like to see dens of wickedness In their places. The neigh bor finally begins to see the men's point of view. The man Is happy because his son la going to be a minister and the little daughter la de lighter because her daddy Is going to church and can hear her say her piece. In the last act the Spirit of the Church and the four dark spirits are VlCKS VORATONE a bttter mouth wash at a big saving! J.'.MIII'.l'.'HtiBJ.lf.'.H CALIFORNIA MOVES NORTHI How faris California?

One by one the spirits throw off their black robes and step forth with the foundations of the church. The last curtain draws on the crowning of the church. After each spirit speaks the chorus, com posed of Jeanette Trill, Jean Qllllngs. Margaret Bateman, Betty Paske, Ruth LeClerc, Arthur Cook and Olaf Scver aon, sing verses of appropriate songs. Much of the appearance of the fine performance was due to Marvin Burke, who had charge of lighting the stage. Besldee the footlights and overhead lights, he flaed the lights In the sec ond scene to give the Wlerd effects so necessary to bad dreams. The last scene was made very impressive by the use of dark lights and colored lights as the spirits stepped forth In their pastel tinted gowns. It can be said without a doubt that the fine acting was due to the patient and excellent direction of Miss Myrna Barrett, who gave surprisingly of her time for rehearsals. Mrs, H. Crane was very generous In her aid In the rafaii..',; of the costumes for the spirits. CdRgtr's funeral home very kindly donated the furniture neces sary to make the stage homey. Oregon Weather.
