C~HAUTAUQUA TO BE
IN PARK

Bloomfield, Aug. 8.-The ninth SEES
sion Of the Davis county clautauqua
will be held at the McGowen park, as
it has In former years, August II be-
Ing the opening day. Arrangements
have been made by James McGowen
and his mother, Mrs. Mary McGowen.
whereby the c~hautauqua Is allowed
free use Of the grounds with the excep-
ton OF a few minor restrictions, such
as the sprinkling OF Franklin street,
which leads to the south and 10 the
traffic entrance Of the grounds, and OF
Locust street, which is the main en-
trance for pedestrians: also that all
the electric wiring shall be led along
the above streets and not through
their premises.
This news, coming as II does amid
the condemnation proceedings insti.
tuted by the city, will be cheering to
~chautauqua goers. The McGowen park
is undoubtedly the best location near
Bloomfield for the assembly. Being
within five blocks OF the business sec
ton Of the city It is not only CON
venient, but is we'll shaded, naturally
sodded and is IDEAL in every way.
For the evening entertainments the
~chautauQua management have secured
the services Of the managers OF the
Idle Hour airdome and the Majestic
theater for three nights each.
Last season over 1000 season tickets
were pledged for the coming session
thereby securing the best assistance
which could have been given to the
management.
Arrangements have been made for
Sunday, the 18th, and are being made
for Sunday, the Gath as o an excursion
train being run from Burlington to
Bloomfield and return. The train on
the nth will bring the Fischer's band
and orchestra, which is scheduled FOL
the first two days.

Most OF the sheep and lambs went
direct to the big killers, so that the

doubtless were to them. AS we ponder
upon these, three thoughts are born.
I. THE COMFORTER SENT IN AN
SWER TO JESUS PRAYER.
That the third person Of The Adorab BILE
Trinity should come as 1.-The Comfort
er." in answer to Jesus prayer, is at
first glance staggering mystery. But II
We ask for guidance at His hand, and
ponder upon the phrases so choice and
convincing, in which the Master coLched
His promises, we shall soon see that the
prayer Of which He spoke was not a
plea to God for the bestowal of gift
which otherwise would have been With
held, but rather a revealing conference
with 1.-The Father in which the Son
makes plain the nature of mans need.
Fer God could never know the nature
of His creatures need. The divine, eler-
nal God. with omniscence couched in HIS
heart, is still ignorant of the needs OF
men and women, boys and girls. He mas
no fleshly data for the solving of the
spirit needs of tired toilers in Work-a-
day world. Nor. indeed. has the Com
ferter such data 1t is only as the needs
of fiesh-clothed humanity are revealed
to Him by the "Son of Man that God
NAV know 1t was in large measure this
very condition that made the coming OF
the Son Of God so necessary, and to the
tired toiIer the vexed contestant, the de-
feated soldier OF the common good" in
this old world. it Is a comfort unspeak-
able to know that as the Infinite Deity
hears His distressed creature cry aloud
for aid and comfort there sits beside Him
One who knows.
Thus it was that JESUS said And / will

pray the Father, and He will give you
another Comforter, that He may abide
with you forever"
H. THE COMFORTER - GOD PRES
ENT WITH US.
If the first promise and provision often
confuses a reader Of the sacred page, the
second is also an unsolvable mystery I'M
til We come to grasp the fact that the
Promised Comforter" is a person and
not an essence. We are prone to speak of
the third Person Of the Trinity as 1T, :"
as in the familiar hymn,
"Oh. that it now from heaven might fall,
And all my sins consume.
Come. Holy Ghost-fOr Thee calf
Spirit Of burning, comeF"
The Comforter is not TT"
MOI The Comforter is the Second Per-
son to come from heaven to help the
storm tossed sons Of time. The First has
returned, the Second remains. God Is
present with us In the Person OF the
Comforter.
III. THE COMFORTE,R-THE SPIRIT
OF TRUTH.
OF all the mighty promises vouchsafed
to man. none is more vital to his daily
need than that which runs, Eye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free" Man Is the constant dupe of
his mistakes. He follows paths that lead
his soul astray, and heeds the whisper Of
a hundred false enticements, and out of
the disaster that waits on such a course
cries out that God has left him to hts
fate" 1t Is not so! God has provided fer
His erring race Guide, One who 10

reckoned the most remarkable
and most efficient publicity system yet

Woman's missionary council of that
church, now in session in Birmingham
In every auxiliary there is a woman su-

les cover the vast region from Maryland
to California, and from the great lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico. From a central
Office, or from the auxiliaries, news OF
the Methodist Church is handed out and
published in two ways. One is by a.
woman's page in all Methodist papers
in the south. The other is in the Satur-
day and Sunday church pages Of the sec

Ihe head of the vast service is Mrs
Luke Johnson Of Gainesville, Ga, whose
genius built it up. Through its working

Central Gburcb.

N HE annual report of the Central
" Presbyterian Church, at Third and
l streets northwest, shows that this
church has given during the past
year over $1,000 for foreign missions
and about $1,4O0 for home missions.
These gifts are In addition to the main
tenance of a chapel at 18th and Irving
streets northwest The striking fact
about these amounts is that they repre-
sent voluntary giving and constant liber-
ality on the part of the congregat ton, it
is disclosed. No so-called modern meth
DDS are used in connection with the
finances of this church. 1t is matter
of profound gratitude throughout the
entire Southern Presbyterian Church that
the debt Of $4,000 resting upon the for
eign mission committee of the church
and representing an accumulation of in
debtedness for several years past has
been wiped out by the liberality of the
entire church, and the secretary of for
eign missions reports "all debts and dues
paid up to April l." The Central Church
congregation rejoices that it has had
some small part in this matter.
