The Sunday Program.

Dan B. Heller, the superintendent,
spoke at the Methodist church in the
morning, there being no program at
the big tent. In the afternoon large
audience greeted Judge Ben Lindsey,
the Denver kid judge. and he used
for his subject "Why Kids Lie" He
is intensely interested in the young
boys of our land, who by some hook
or crook get into trouble and If kept
on in their career make the criminals
of the country. He takes the young
boy, who has committed an offense,
into his confidence and instead of
melting out punishment to him and
combining him in Jail in the company
of old and hardened criminals, he
puts them out on their honor and in
that way steers them through their
stormy period of life. In the end
they become useful and prosperous
citizens. He tells many pathetic stor-
les, but all of them have a moral.
The Judge was little late in ar
irving, but the large crowd waited for
him patiently and were amply re-
warded.
The evening program began at
1880 instead of O'Clock, at which
time the pagent was given by the
childr IN of the Junior Chautauqua,
who had been under training of Miss
Arlene Ravenscroft for a week. The
scene opened with bevy of pretty
young girls, charmingly dressed, who
came upon the stage dancing and
singing, later came a company OF
boys, then the Queen and her at
| tendants. 1t was a pretty sight and
| the little tots make a distinct hit with
the large audience.
There was much disappointment
when It was announced that Kathar-
inc Ridgeway, the great reader
would be unable to give her full pro-
gram on account of throat trouble
with which she became afflicted the
night before. However, she was de-
termined to give few selections
These were thoroughly enjoyed. The
management had arranged for DR.
Hilton I. Jones, the Saturday morn.
1 ing lecturer, to fill the engagement
He said that it was difficult to fill
someone else's place on the program
but he said he was delighted to fill
such an important engagement as
that of Miss Ridgeway.
The audience, too, was well pleased
with the substitute before the speak
err had launched very far into his
subject. His lecture, like that Of
Saturday morning, was from a scien
tifc viewpoint. His lecture at this
time dealt with the welfare of the in
dividual instead of the material. II
was elevating and instructive ant
brought message in an entirely diff
ferent light from any other address
given throughout the entire week
DR.. Jones will long be remembered
by his great lecture which was so full
of hope and inspiration.
