Wednesday Morninq Club

"If you leave the Bible and Christ
out of Palestine" said Mrs. Adams
Fisher at the Wednesday Morning club
yesterday, you will find nothing in
that wonderful land. To go still fur
ther, unless you are a Bible student,
you will miss half the wealth of the
old world, it's art treasures, music, and
statuary being all inspired by religion" "
The speaker, who is a delightful lec-
turer, and whose travels have taken
her all over the world, addressed the
Bible class of the club yesterday on
Jerusalem and Jericho" and her talk
was full of new ideas on old world
travel, bits of anecdote, advice and
historical facts all cleaned from a
familiarity with the various countries.
She advised each person who thought
of a trip abroad to ferret out the spirit
ual side of things, as well as the mate
rial.
Other interesting events of the meet
ing were the Shakespeare class. under
the direction of Mrs. H. c. Cover. the
president. who conducted the lesson
in place of Mrs. M. M. Adams. the
curator, the second and third acts of
king Lear" being studied and re-
viewed, and the Current Events" lee
ture' by Mrs. Lou v. Chaplin.
