The opening session of the Tower
Hill congress was greeted by crowd
which the high school assembly room
almost failed to accommodate. The
audience was sympathetic and all the
the speakers kept the attention of all
of all to the end.
Miss Lutte E. Stearns, chief of the
travelling library department of the
Wisconsin Free Library Commission, is
the chairman of the Congress and pre-
sided at the meeting Miss Stearns has
become we'll known throughout the
state in various movements for the pub
lie good. To her is chiefyl due the
credit for the interesting and helpful
program which is being presented at
the Congress.
Miss Stearns spoke of the develop
ment of the Congress in ten years from
the meeting of few friends at Tower
Hill, Jenkin LIoyd-J Jones' summer.camp
TO talk over the things they wanted to
talk about, into meeting of humid
reds of people coming together every
second year at Tower Hill and the al
ternate years in various cities OF the
vicinity.
E. A. Evans welcomed the Congress
to BarabOo. He spoke especially of
the work of DR.. Lloyd-Jones and said
that at a time like the present, when
nearly the whole world is at war, it is a
splendid pleasure to have with us man
who has adopted the motto: The
world is my country, to do good is my
religion" Evans pointed out the ne
cessity of taking an active part in the
meetings if we are to get the most out
of the Congress
DR.. Jenkin-L Lloyd Jones, the patron
saint of the Tower Hill Congress, res
pended to the welcome. He said that
he did not know whether he was host
or a guest, since he is Sank county
boy himself.
This gathering, hesaid, lis an at
tempt to interpret religion in terms
of ethics, politics, in terms
