A Bible excerpt urges love without hypocrisy and moral living. It emphasizes compassion, honoring others, perseverance in prayer, blessing adversaries, rejoicing with the rejoicing, mourning with the mourning, and staying at peace with all. It also addresses respecting governing authorities and repaying evil with good.
Two art examples at the library illustrate modern expression. A painting conveys the theme of alcoholism through linked symbols, while strips of book jacket cutouts spell words but reveal abstract animal forms up close. The piece comments on art’s relation to public taste and the Curtain Club’s Bridegroom Waits reception.
The text argues that harmony comes from personal individuation, varying by each observer’s perceptual range. It warns against adopting ready-made attitudes and encourages choosing a personally meaningful life view to avoid dogma. An integrated personality shows sincerity even in jest.
The author argues time defines life choices and urges a personal criterion to judge how we use our minutes. We cannot control birth or brain but can shape actions, with money happiness and spiritual growth as possible measures. Many viewpoints exist, yet a clear standard is needed to decide if we have truly lived.

The Bridegroom Waits features a solo role with a female star. The Wedding stars Joe Chandler and Dolly Moskowitz as the betrothed couple in a funny study of pre wedding nerves. Sandy Gaston and Clarence Porter lead the groom’s friends in mischief as a lost collar button fuels comic gags for a quality half hour.
