This program will be pre sented after prayer services at the different churches, which will be about 8:00 P. M. Pray time It is hoped that a large crowd will attend this number, which, if it is anything like as good as the last number pre sented here, will be well worth seeing. Following is a brief outline of the number which will be given. The two members of any two-poo- ple attraction must necessarily be not only versatile, but really good in everything they do. Otherwise, their program cannot measure up to the standard required in the legitimate lyceum field today. The Banta Due meets every requirement profession ally, with the added charm of being two delightful people socially. Adding further variety to an al ready interesting progrom, clever cartooning, original and standard pianologues and short dramatic play lets are freely interspersed in the performance of The Banta Due. A program replete with interest and appealing alike to the fun-loving and the more serious-minded. The Banta Due comes from the Piedmont Bureau at Asheville and will fill an engagement on the local lyceum course on the date of March 14th. Sounds interesting, eh? SITTING AT JESVS! FEET Luke 10:38. Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered, into a certain village: and a certain woman Martha received him into her house. 89.And she had a sister called Mary which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40. But Martha was cumbered a- bout much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she nelp me. 41. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: v " . 42. But one thing is needful: Mary hath chosen that good part, " which j shall not be taken away from her. Prayer. In the rush and bustle of modern life, may we learn the "good part" of sitting quietly at the feeof Jesus and listening to his words ox counsel and wisdom.
