Which never can b. filed.
Friends may think " soon forgot you,
And our wounded hearts b. healed;
But thew little know The sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed
Tears within our dim eyes
"a family's aching hearts.
Can only tell the agony
How hard it was to part.
Dear father. could you speak to IL.
And could you live again.
Our aching hearts would then b. healed
But this W. wish in vain
Once our home was bright and happy,
Oh how sad and dreary today;
For our dear loving father
Has forever passed away.
Oh the misery Of that dreary night
When W. stood around hi bed.
Till death stole upon him softly,
And W. knew hi soul had fled.
Oh since then our lives are saddenad.
Since that day our hopes are slain,
But hi voice seems sweetly saying,
Courage we will meet again.

Iprising the states of New Jersey, Del
territory IF the association earns
a profit in its operations, such profits
il to be put into the Improvement OF
the Chautauquas it conducts, and into
the further extension of its field
The associations capital stock OF
$4,000 has been subscribed by men who
are soldiers of the common good"
and who believe they can be of real
service by making possible the estab-
lishment OF Chautauquas in many COM
munities.
An InspirationaI Movement.
For Chautauqua is an unparalleled
source Of inspiration, a. the expert
ence Of the more than one thousand
communities of the middle west where
such institutions are conducted proves.
The fact that community after COM
munity i'm that section has organized
Chautauquas Is proof that they have
been helpful to the community life.
Every good cause, every worthy TOD
form, il strengthened by Chautauqua.
Public libraries, civic improvement,
''the city beautiful'-all these and
many other community blessings are
more largely indebted to the Chautau-
qua Movement than t. generally
known. For it was at Chautauqua,
N. Y, and on the platforms OF the
other older institutions of the kind,
that these movements were first pre-
scented i'm a popular way. Indeed, the
Chautauqua platform i an ideal forum
for the discussion of all such new
movements and programs for the COM
non good.
An Unfettered Forum.
Chautauqua belongs to no creed nor
party. While it seeks the conserva-
ton, 1t faces the future cOurageOusly,
believing, with Browning, that the
best is yet to be-" and it il not 20
much concerned with defending the
formulate and conventions of the past
as with helping find the solutions that
are to make tomorrow better. There
fore, Chautauqua Il an open court for
the frank discussion of all proposed
remedies for existing evils, of all
schemes for the reform OF abuses of
whatever kind Chautauqua neither
endorses nor rejects these programs,
but 1T offers to them all the privilege
of a hearing. Whether any particular
scheme of reform makes Roadway be-
fore the court of public opinion is not
the concern of Chautauqua.
Influential Endorsement.
American citizens have right to
hear all sides of every question, and
the Chautauqua platform is dedicated
to that purpose The opportunity pre-
scented By the Chautauqua platform
has been appreciated by our greatest
men. Roosevelt calls Chautauqua
ffthe most American thing i'm Amer
,ica," because of its unfettered liberty
Of discussion. Bryan, LaFollette,
Champ Clark, the late Senator DOlli-
yer, Senators Gore, Cummins, BristOw
and many other moulders Of public
opinion have found the ChautauqUa
one of the best avenues through
which 10 reach the ear of the people.
Entertainment and Amusement.
But the Chautauqua l. not all
seriOus-not all lectures and instruc-
ton. ri stands for the sacredness Of
laughter. 1t ministers clean, pure, ele-
waiting entertainment to lives over
burdened with cares and labors. While
it instructs, it entertains; while it
makes men think, 1t also makes them
laugh '-7 n stands for music-good
