CHAUTAUQUA CLOSED

is Shown for Course Next Year.
In the midst of one of the
most interesting Chautauqua
programs that we have had the
pleasure of attending, we wrote
last week a short sketch of the
programs that had been given
up to the time of publication. At
that time we did not fully real
ize the strong impression the
course was making on the hun
dreds of people who were at
tending daily. We we're sure
that people were pleased but
did not know that so many had
become enthusiastic boosters.
The Committee of business
men who had been behind the
movement for the past two sea-
sons were anxious to receive
some assurance that the people
of Hope and vicinity really want
ed a Chautauqua and they asked
on Thursday afternoon for an
expression of opinion by a ris.
ing vote of those in attendance.
With very few exceptions, every
person in the crowd stood up
and voted their support to next
years course. And that was
not all, about twenty farmers
came forward and joined with
the business men in signing the
guarantee.
Before the Chautauqua can be
brought to a city of this size the
management requires a guaran'
tee of the sale of $500 worth OF
season tickets. The committee
who take charge of this receive
no compensation for their work
and do not even receive free
tickets. They put up their mon.
ey the same as everybody else.
This is no slight task and is ever
quite an expense when you con.
slider that they devote several
days of time and furnish thei,
own automobiles for getting
around in the various townships

SUNDAY AT METHODIST CHURCH

Last Sunday was memorable day
at the Methodist church and many
visitors were present.
Dr.. and Mrs Fred Manget and
their lovely children, Elizabeth, Jean
and Louise, sat within the chancel
rail dressed in Chinese clothes.
Louise, who is not three years old
is beautiful brunette and was love-
~ in red satin costume embroider-
ed in light blue with a hood to
match. Elizabeth wore a boys
clothes in light blue silk and Jean
was also in light blue Mrs. Man
get was in very dark silk with hood
to match. Dr.. Manget was quite
distinguished looking in his two
Cyercoats and his cool garments Of
white silk that are so negligee look
ing from our sartorial viewpoint
and yet in China they are correct
morning clothes.
He explained the Chinese clothes
and told about the way the children
played and studied and came to the
mission schools.
The dark silk runners" with var
ious applications displayed be-
cause it was China day, were Ep-
worth league banners and the gor-
geous crimson and blue banner drap-
ed from the choir loft was a spread
for a brides bed.
The white silk banner. with a
story inscribed on one end of how
a crippled boy was restored to health
and the tribute of the boys father
to the good doctor who had achieved
this miracle, was not translated by
DR.. Manget but no one needed to
know Chinese to understand the
meaning of those wierd capital let
ters" characterizing him.
After this DR.. Manget spoke to the
Baraca and Philathea classes on con-
ditions and opportunities in China.
DR.. Rembert Smith preached on
the Importance of Christian educa-
ton and the value Of church schools.
Miss Regina Rambo and Miss
Blondine Cooper sang abide With
Me- very sweetly and all the music
both in Sunday school and church
was very go0d.

BOY OF Ia TELLS WHY
BUSINESS MEN DEMAND
TOTAL ABSTINENCE
Samuel G. Lift, of the Comegys
School, Wins Prize in Scien-
tific Temperance Es-
say Contest
EVIL EFFECTS OF DRINK

Samuel g. Lift, a 14.year-old youth, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs A. e. Lift OF 5fU8
woodland avenue, has been awarded the
first prize for the best essay written in the
Comegys school, 51st street and Green
way avenue. The prize was awarded by
the Friends Temperance Association and
the W. c. T. u in the scientific temper
ance contest When young Lift won the
prize, he was in the S.B Grade. His
teacher was J. J. Hudson, Jr.
Young Lift took as the subject OF his
essay why Business Men Demand Total
Abstinence" It is as follows
lowing to the education of the public
concerning the evils OF the drink habit,
the consumption of strong alcoholic liquors
has decreased greatly.
I'm 1910, when nearly every family
used some whisky. the average consumed
for each lnhabitant was Il gallons, while
i'm 1896 the amount was only one gallon
for each individual. half century or
more ago the labor organizations set aside
money TO buy liquor at their meetings.
To-day many of the unions such as
the Metal Polishers, Core Makers, Iron
Molders and the knights of Labor, ex-
clude any one engaged in the liquor
traffic.
Recent Investigations of the rules OF
many large business corporations brought
forth the fact that 1894 of them prohibit
the use of alcoholic drink by their EN-.
ployes.
This was due to the fact that they
had found that alcohol deranges the d.
gestive organs, lowers body temperature
impairs muscle power, diminishes the ca
pacty for sustained mental work and
leads to the development of structural
changes in the connective tissues of the
brain, spinal cord and other organs.
THE younger the individual the greater
is the danger of taking an occasional drink.
Helenus in a paper read at the University
of Copenhagen in 1902, showed that al
cohol had fatally poisoned during the nine
teenth century 100000 persons in the
civilized countries of Europe. America and
Australia. All of these were at one time
occasional drinkers.
THE one safe plan, then, is never TO
take the first drink. A young man can
display no greater patriotism than to fight
against that which brings to this country
woe want and poverty.
ITO be total abstainer, that is, to re-
fuse to use liquor at any time, requires
the courage of principle that dares to do
right in the face of scorn. kind of cour-
age that may be called the perfection of
humanity"
