Schoolgirls Praised

To the Editor of the "NoRrH-CHINA Dairy News"

Sm,—I am writing to express something of my appreciation of the really wonderful production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe" which the Cathedral School for Girls staged this week..

It is really a stupendous achievement on the part of Mrs. Harvey. her helpers and her youthful cast to have given so perfect a presentation of one of the most beautiful operas of the greatest of light opera writers. Never for one moment did one feel any necessity for making excuses for any of the actresses on the score of age. In fact one felt that Gilbert and Sullivan should always be put on by the young.

I very much hope that additional performances will be given for the sake of those who missed a wonderful opportunity of enjoyment.

I may say that I personally attended every performance with increasing enjoyment and shall certainly not miss any repeats if there are any-

So much for the historical meaning of Whitsuntide. But we are more concerned, rather I should say vitally concerned with the meaning of Whitsuntide or Pentscost to the world today. It hasbeen suggested that one of the difficulties of the Christian faith is the fact that it is a faith based upon and bound up with a Person who appeared in history, and who in history manifested God, That may be true, but we are creatures of history with our feet very much on the ground, and sometimes too much tied to material things and material conceptions. In this respect we do not differ greatly from those who actually dwelt with Christ, because up to the Crucifixion they were seeing the Kingdom of God as one in which places of honour were to be sought for, And this brings us to the real meaning of Whitsuntide, Pentecost was not really the birthday of the church, nor the first experience of the outpouring of the Spirit of God, and we shall see this when we go back into history. If we go back ical troubles, flushing, buzzing in the ears. blushing, change of life.
