CHAUTAUQUA IS
AGAIN SUCCESS
. NOT A WEAK LINK IN PROGRAM
CHAIN
Over Fifty cuarantors Make chautau.
qua for 1918 Sure
i Thing

Since our last issue the Chautauqua
has come and gone. Interest increased
as the five days went by, and the
closing number was not only the best
in attendance, but was adjudged as the
best lecture heard here since the first
year of Chautauqua.
The lecturer was Robert B. Glepn,
former governor of North Carolina.
He appeals to the better side Of man
and woman, to the uplifting of home
and state. The old tent was filled to
its capacity for the governors fame
as an orator and platform lecturer had
preceded him. He is a man who swings
on vice and rum at every turn >and
the large audience enjoyed immensely
his sharp thrusts. His lecture to the
community was worth all the guaran-
tee.
+ There were four lecturers this. year
and every one of them was gem.
Governor Glenn stood at the head and
we would place Lew R. Sarett second
He is young man, an orator of the
new school, His depictions Of life
among the Indians tells many adven-
lures of trails, tepees and tenderfeet." !"
He had as his subject Children God
h Forgot" and made it interesting in
every way.
DR.. G. G. Mitchell's address on the
>..Millionaire of Uz" referred to none
other than old Job himself. He brought
the lessons taught from Job down to
present day life, depicting old Job at
the best and at the worst, how the
devil had tried to get him but how Job
stood out against all temptations. We
need more Jobs in this world. job was
rich because he was good and good
because he was rich. DR.. Mitchell has
all the characteristics of an orator and
started the program of in fine shape.
Mott R. Sawyer told everything he
knew Of Money" and did 1t in an eff
fective and convincing way. It was
powerful analysis Of the influence for
good .and evil exerted by the filthy
fucre.
The musical part of the programs
abounded with strong renditions on in
strument and in song. Every one ap'
pearing was an artist in his or her
line. There did not seem TO be weak
fink anywhere. The Columbians, the
>Gray-Lhevinne Company, the Cathed.
raj Choir, the Hawaiians, were all
cheered and encored. It would be hard
TO distinguish which took the fore.
most place with the audiences.
The Copley Players in their little
drama 'It Pays to ADVERTISE" espec'
tally caught the newspaper fraternity
who are trying to din that sentiment
into the ears of our people year in and
year out. 1t was nice little skit-
clean. wholesome and entertaining.
