Tyrrell had arranged a play which centered around the life of St. Patrick. The theme was this: St. Patrick in order to conquer Ire- land pondered over three ways, the sword, the book, or a cup of cold water. He conquered by the latter, thus the subject, "By this sign Conquer," the young people the church taking parts. This is not historically authentic, but was used by the pastor in arranging the play and to bring out his mean- ing. The Youth Choir sang ex- ceptionally well. A dinner was ar- ranged in the basement dining room at 12:30. This was followed by the annual reports from all or- ganizations. John Fry and James !High were elected trustees for the coming year. On Sunday morning, March 30, Rev. Tyrrell of the Presbyterian church will take for his morning sermon topic, "Keep your Faith in Men." The Gracia Guild will meet Fri- day evening with Muriel Danly.
