SALINE'S   FIFTH  ANNUAL
Five-Day Season of Patriotic Entertainment, Iiistruct'oii anil
Music
As the .Chautauqua dates draw
icIo.ser orie can not help but be *>inv-
pressed with the three-fold mission
of this year's pi-ogi&m.
It stands ont as clearly defined as
if it had been painted in black and
white.
First, there is the patriotic purpose
—so .ably instilled in each, day's program—the desire to help American^
ism find itself and to help Americans
find their place in the ever growing
wa,r service of the nation—here at
home just as well as "over there."
Second, there is the educational aspect—the broadening influence, which
is seen just as truly in the work 'of
the "story lad," cf the Junior Chautauqua, as it is in the wonderful messages of the brilliant lecturers and
in the softening influence of the musf-
Ical numbers.
And third, there is the purely entertainment,side of the program—the
provision that has been made to
gratify the human longing for relaxation and enjoyment, certainly more
necessary to America in these times
of war than it has ever been be,fore.
Those groups of able and patriotic
citizens who have been doing the
work of our local committees are
seeing visions of their tasks crowned
with success. The ticket committee,
the advertising committee, and all
c<!aer committees see signs of record-
breaking crowds to see and hear the
record-breaking program.* that have
been provided.
And they are assured every one
thalt never has a. Chautauqua program held such rich promise of reward for those who attend.
There is not-a-dull, moment from.,
the first number of the beautiful and
gifted Merrilees Entertainers and
the heart-gripping war lecture, "Back
From Hell." by Samuel Cran-ton
Benson on the first day, down to the
gems of grand opera by the Hugh
Anderson Operatic Quintette and t! e
great Var lecture by Andrew H.
Harnly on the closing -day.
Tlie five days are packed with feature numbers, including in addition
to the above, such attractions as the
lecture and demonstration of Community Singing by Dean R. G. McCutchan, assisted by Miss Freda.
Hiatt; I>r. Frederic Pcole'si illustrated "lecture on "The Birth of aft
Oriental Nation;" tlie mystic melody
of the Imperial Russian Quartette;
the revelation of the plague spots of
America in Dr. E. L. "Williams' lecture, "The City and the Soil;" the sur-
prise numbers of Fischers' Great Exposition Orchestra, and the dramatic
readings of gifted Marvel ^Miller.
Altogether, our Chautauqua this
year is going to be a memorable one.

Subject Sabbath morning: "Is the
Modern Pacifist the Peace Maker
Whom  Christ Would Commend?"
Tnere will be no evening service,
as every one will attend the chautauqua,.
1 ast Sabbath will long be remem^
ber. d for its patriotic inspiration.
Two of our young men were leaving
for the training camps and those
present felt the thrill of those high
ideals, that called them to the service of their country.
A laige company of young people
and friends of Lloyd Fairbank met at
his home on Friday evening. It was
a spontaneous expression .of cheer
and good fellowship that shows the
grip Lloyd has upon the hearts of the
home people.
We desire to share our joy with
every one interested in babies, over
the birth of a granddaughter. Mrs.
Hutchings and the baby -axe at the
Woman's hospital and are doing well.
The story is going the rounds of a
nominal church member of the
rather stingy sort, who had a dream.
He dreamed he ordered a fine porterhouse steak and asked the. price.
The butcher said, "Anything you
'please, we are just taking a collec
tion." He heard the same reply, as
he went elsewhere on his marketing
venture. He awoke from his- fool
dream and made the application to
himself, how can any church he supported by such haphazard collections1?
He saw the point, that the business
of running the church requires definite and systematic support of every
member.
