The following was the Cast of Characters: Fanny Crosby, Dorothy Tristram; Mrs. Ferris (matron of the Institute for the Blind), Mrs. Arthur Brock; Miss Wilson (a Publishers Representative) Miss Thelma Crosier; Alexander Van Alstyne (Instructor) Owen Cliff; Mrs, Andrews (a friend) Mrs. S.

This little -sketch of "the life of Fanny Crosby was read by the Nar- rator: "We bring you the story "of a woman who wrote over a. thousand hymns -- an American woman whose songs of praise have found their way into the hymn books of all faiths and the music of all nations, Most won- derful of all in the history of this re- markable person is the fact that she was blind. The name Fanny Crosby is synonymous with the good and the beautiful in poetry and is a byword for optimism and joy of life. Born in New York state on March 24, 1823, Fanny Crosby was about six weeks old when, by an improper treatment for a slight eye.affliction she was per- manently blinded. Never from that moment until her death at the age of ninety-five was she able to see. Yet out of her tragedy and the greatness of her spirit have come some of the most famous songs of the Christian Faith. Crosby began writing what she called "lines that rhyme."

Shortly after ten o'clock, the young people, some of whom had gone skat- ing, met in the basement of the Church, where a few games were played while lunch was being prepared. Everyone made a circle and partook of doughnuts and cocoa. The evening closed with -the singing of God Save the King. Outside of a few bruises and slight stiffness felt by some of the young people next day, everyone enthusiasti- cally declared it had been a grand evening of fun, _ No mts IN MEMORIAM REDMAN -- In loving memory of Roy George 'Redman, who died Jan. bth, 1942, ~° We often sit and think of him when we are all alone, For memory is the only friend that grief can call its own; Like ivy on the withered oak, when all other things decay, Our love for him will still keep green and never fade away. © --Wife and Family. ri i WEEK OF PRAYER IN PORT PERRY CHURCHES The universal Week of Prayer will be observed in Port Perry Churthes as follows: Monday, January 4th at 8 p.m.-- Anglican Church.
