The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1916-07-13
People Flocked to
Chautauqua Sunday;
Program Excellent

AS anticipated Sunday was hum.
mer at Chautauqua. The weather was
fair and beginning early in the morn.
ing people flocked to the grounds until
the attendance exceeded that of any
= previous day of this years assembly
There were many out-of-toWn visitors,
though the attendance from outside
of Valley City was materially cut by
the condition of the roads caused by
the heavy rains of the latter part of
the week.
The days activities began with the
regular Sunday school hour at 10
O'Clock. Public worship was held at
II o'clock, with Mrs. Lillian Mitchner,
president of the Kansas State w. G.
IT. u, the speaker of the morning. All
of the glowing accounts of Mrs. Nit
elmer as a public speaker, as con-
servative thinker on matter pertaining
to her cause, as fine personality and
as a reader of human nature, were full
filled Sunday morning. Mrs. Mitchner
.dwelt for some time on the work of
her state and spoke also on the sub
:ject of prohibition in general, and i'm
pressed her audience with her simple
sincerity.
Mrs. Mitchner has at her ready
command volumes of information and
statistical knowledge that make
her addresses go home readily
and impress one that here is speak
er who is familiar with her subject.
And, indeed, she ought to be, for Sun
day she gave her audience the expert
ence of 35 years of her active work.
Music in the morning was furnished
by Mrs. Knute Froysaa and Miss
Gladys Fridd, who sang duet, Il
Waited for the Lord" by Mendelssohn
Ben Goodsell played Spanish Dance
by Sarasate. This short musical pro.
gram was immensely enjoyed as part
of the morning service.
In the afternoon, the Valley City
Municipal band appeared in prelude
at 2:30 and again following the ad-
dress of DR.. Wylie. Director Hubbard
had arranged an especially fine pro-
gram which was played as we'll as any
band has done here for long
time. In their white duck trousers and
blue coats and caps, the boys made a
natty looking organization. Valley
City is proud of her band.
DR.. Wylie gave the principal address
of the afternoon on his subject, par
enthood by Proxy" 1t was stirring
appeal for a closer relationship be-
tween parents with their children. DR..
Wylie's address is reviewed elsewhere
in this issue. He spoke again for
short time during the evening, follow
ing the concert in which members or
the choirs of the Valley City churches
took part.
This program was opened by the
Valkota male quartet, consisting OF
Messrs. Hunt, Buckwalter, thinner
man and Meyer, who sang Chant
Anthem" by Dow. Later@en the pro-
gram the quartet appeared again sing
ing very effectively Nearer, My God
to Thee" by Sweeney and Lead, Kind
ly Light" by Dudley Buck: -,
Prof, Froysaa played "Meditation"
from That's as a violin solo, and Mrs.
Craswell was forced to respond to her
solo. singing that ever popular Moth
er o'Mine"
Prof. j. B. Meyer sang 20. Divine
Redeemer' by Gounod, with violin
obligato by Prof. Froysaa. Miss JOS
ephine Wright was at the piano during
the evening and Rev. Willard CROSBY
Lyon presided
The program was an exceptionally
interesting one from every standpoint
and showed again the fine talent Val
ley City has at her disposal
After the address of DR.. Wylie came
the moving pictures. Some extrava-
CANT remarks had preceded the SHOW
ing of judith of Bethulla" but they
were not amiss, for the film was not
only intensely interesting from spec
tacular standpoint, but it was ser.
mon in itself, and fair indication or
what the management intends to make
this feature of the daily program. Oth'
ers like it are coming.
