SUCCESSFUL CHAUTAUQUA
WEEK IN SMALLER CITIES

Two successful winter CnautauQua
weeks were conducted this month by
Chautauqua institution at Bradford, Pa,
in cooperation with the Ministerial
union, and at clean, y. Y, with the
First Methodist church. On the pre-
ceding Sunday bishop John h Vincent
preached at morning service, the Chau-
tauQua vesper service was held in the
afternoon, and an evening address
was given by deddie o. Hamilton, field
secretary. The program continued. for
five days, offering two series Of morn
ing hours, and an afternoon and even
ing lecture or address.
Mrs. Ida B. Cole, field secretary,
gave domestic science demonstration
for the housewives, illustrated art and
craftsmanship lectures for clubs and
high school students, and popular ad-
dresses on newspaper work and home
study complishments. Bishop Vincent
gave his five day series of studies in
church life and his famous lecture on
THAT Boy" Miss HamiltOn's lectures
On Iiteary subjects were supplemented
by an experience story Of "Chautauqua
and the Community" Single addresses
were given by other members Of the
institution, and conferences were held
with groups Of persons interested IN
local Uplift movements
- The response in these smaller cities
to a program Of this educational Ealue
and inspiratiOnal character, from which
the usual entertainment features were
cut out is declared to be striking
sales of course and single tickets more
than paid expenses, and repetition OF
of the Chautauqua weeks next year
has been requested.

ception Of the day Of rest as under

American Saneness-
The question now arises, how far, as
police regulations enacted to promote
the common welfare" the legislature
ought to go? We are all law abiding
citizens We wish to obey the rules
and regulations laid down by our law
makers We recognize the voice OF
the .people as the voice Of God and re-
aIizs the sacredness Of the ballot
Herein we differ from the nations 10

majority and at the same time prepare

cIaring his term, not his reign, ended
while every defeated candidate 10 the
south starts a revolution This IS the
Z peculiarly American trait, magnl1l-
cent tribute to our saneness-
And yet when new rules are 10 ne
passed for a day Of rest, we have a
right to ask, what should be the basis
of such regulation and If this new OIL
does not meet our need we should pro
test to our representative once
nassed. no matter in what form, we
should abide by the law and obey It's
injunctions as good cltlzens-
To Make Better Citizens.
In the first place we must realize
that the object Of the new law should
be the welfare of the citizens and not
the welfare of any church or institu-
ton. Its object is not to Improve
church attendance but make better
citizens.
And in the second place, we must
remember the last half century has
bought a wonderful industrial reyolu-
ton The industrial world has been
turned topsy- turvy by magnificent IN
veutions. Travel Is an every Gay nee
essity; the telephone is IN common
use: the report of the news OF the
world is essential. The minute d1v1s-
ions of labor have created the factory
system What was good and possible a
half century ago may be bad and I'M
possible today. Rules and regulations
for Sunday observance that met the
demands then, not only fail but hinder
the common sense observance OF the
same today. The transformation from
rural communities to city communities
must also be considered What is pos
sfbIe in the country is not always pos
sible in the city. And let me empna-
size here that our laws must 'be posi-
bic Of observance. To impose a force
from without is to create a repeLant
force from within What public opin-
not be enforced 1t is wiser to have a
few laws honestly observed than many
laws neglected and creating law break

MONDAY LENTEN SERVICES PROVE
POPULAR IN MANY EASTERN CITIES
In Some Cities Theaters Are Used For the Services Sue
cessful Chautauqua Weeks Are Held in Small Cities;
Congregationalsts Plan Greater Efficiency;
an American Is hief British Rabbi.

Where churches in business sections
of the cities are not available, tneaIerS
and halls sometimes chamber of COM
merce buildings, are being employed
this Lent for MONDAY religious services
for business people. The number OF
these services has grown markedly
within the past five years, and there
has been. an increase this present Lent
of 20 percent. The increase in the
number of women in business offices
has greatly increased attendance at
these MONDAY services, until in some
down town churches the monday ser
vices far surpass the Sunday ones IN
numbers present at them
In st. Louis the Garrick theater is
used. In Pittsburg Trinity church is
employed In Philadelphia three down
town churches are utilized. In Boston
the new st. PauIs cathedral, which is
old St PauIs church in fremont
street, and Trinity in Copley square,
have services Little Rock, Ark, and
Montgomery, Ala, are places that are
getting under way with these services.
Cincinnati used the Lyric theater and
has had biShOp-elect Reese of Column us
as speaker. The brotherhood OF St
Andrew leads in promoting these ser
vices but others are assisting. In New
Y Ork city, including Brooklyn, the num-
Der Of such MONDAY services is now IL,
and attendance at all OF them is not
far from 100000
Two things that are new in this
movement appear this Lent One is
Catholic churches adopting the plan.
These churches have conferences and
masses. but the idea is the same. The
other new thing is the vast number OF
people who go into the theaters and
churches on mornings and afternoons,
before and after the services, sit down,
read religious literature and pray. 1t
is reported that in some cities the
numbers who attend when no services
are going on is comparable with those
who 90 to the services themselves. It
is happening therefore that some down
town churches are now seeing their
largest years Of religious usefulness.

RELIGIOUS METHODS TO BE
MADE MORE EFFICIENT

For a dozen years. perhaps more,
CongregatiOnaIists have been discussing
efficiency plans. especially in mission
airy work and in publications. Through
out all conferences seem TO run theories
that there ought to be as much cen
tralized authority as possible without
upsetting Puritan history and cOnvic-
lions. A proposal that was most 10 be
remarked, and that brought out great

make a secretary who should be, IN
duties and authority, comparable with

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-08-15

One of the most gratifying news
reports in the transportation world
for many day is that Howard Elliott,
of the Northern Pacific Railway sys-
tenn, has been elected to the presi-
dency of the New Haven, New Eng
land road system, one Of the great
railway systems Of the East. This
road has been prostituted as few roads
have. 1t has been standing menace
both to the travelling public and to
decent railways for years. The old
belief that railroads we're built to
make millionaires of its stockholders,
whether it served the public or not,
dies much harder in the East than in
the West. The middle west farmers
we're the first people to attack the old
railway systems. In Iowa and Wis
consin the famous Granger laws OF
thirty years ago were enacted and put
into effect by men who were not scar
ed by the corporations. They won
lust as fast as the cases got to the
courts. This good example spread all
over the West as new states could get
rid of the shackels of special inter
ests. But in the East, especially
such states as New York, New Jersey
and Maine, the people have only re-
Gently reached a point where they
dare stand for their rights. The re-
suit was that Mr.. Mellen, railroader
of the old school, had become so un-
popular that he was retired and big,
strong man like Mr.. Elliott is given
the job of bringing back the good will
of the public and making system
that will serve the people. Mr.. New
Highlander will see new and better
era.

The situation in Mexico is serious
one and will require the best efforts
of President Wilson and his Secretary
Bryan to prevent war between United
States and Mexico. ambassador
Wilson, who recently returned from
Mexico, was a strong believer in HUI
erta's government and recommended
that our nation recognize it. This
President Wilson refuses to do and in
order to show his good will and
friendship for the Mexican nation
has sent ex-governor Lind of Mimi
esota as his personal representative to
the Mexican capital to try and create
a better understanding between the
two governments. However, his mis-
sion has been opposed by the leading
statesmen of Mexico and especially by
the newspapers of Mexico City which
are doing all in their power to en-
barrass both Mr.. Lind and the United
States Government. This makes a
serious situation. 1t really looks at
this writing as though the United
S ateS government would be compelled
to send armed troops to Mexico to
clear up the situation.
