BAPTISTS BUSY
RAISING FUND
Plan to Raise Extra Million
For War Work With
Soldiers and Sailors

With T. w. Aver, of Camden, as
chairman, and Fred P. Haggard, of
New York, as campaign director, a
big committee of Baptist laymen is
conducting a campaign for IAN eX-
ira million dollars by March thirty
first" The committee has headquar-
ters at the Fifth Avenue building,
New York, and the various states
are rapidly being organized for the
final drive" in March. The work is
progressing satisfactorily, and there
is every indication of the success of
the movement.
The committee is planning to util-
ise $3.50, 900 of the amount raised for
the promotion of the work among
The soldiers at the big camps. This
will not conflict in any way with
the work of the Y. NJ. c. A. as it
is designed to assist the local
churches in the vicinity of the camp
and enable them to reach the men
more effectively on the outside.
There are also seven agencies of
the Baptist denomination among
which the funds will be distributed.
They are the American Baptist For
eign Mission Society; the Woman's
American Baptist Foreign Mission
Society; the American Baptist Home
MISSION society; the woman
American Baptist Home Missionary
Society, the American Baptist Pub
lication Society; the Ministers and
Missionaries Benefit Board, and the
Board of Education.
During a long and busy business
life Mr.. Aver, the chairman of the
committee has been closely identified
with religious and philanthropic
work. For forty years he has been
superintendent of the Sunday School
at Camden, and has taken a promi-
nent part in all of the laymen's
movements connected with the de-
nomination. He has served as presi-
dent of the Camden and of the New
Jersey Young Mems Christian AS
sociation.
Mr.. Haggard also has been closely
identified with the Baptists for
years. He is secretary of the lay
mems missionary movement. He
went to Russia in 1916 for the In
ternational y. NJ. c. A. committee
and had charge of the military pris-
on camp work in that country. He
is editor of Men and Missions and
the publicity secretary of the Ameri-
can committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief.

Lenten Sermons at
Zion Lutheran Church;
to Unfurl Service Flags

The pastor will preach upon the
themes announced for the Sundays
in Lent. The morning series will
be upon prophecies of the Re-
deemer" and values of the Cross"
All of the sermons and studies dur
ing Lent will magnify the Person
and Work of the Lord Jesus. on
Wednesday and Monday evenings
the events of Passion Week are con-
sidered. At the Sunday school ses-
sion the theme will be Foreign Mis-
sions and an offering Will be given
for work in India and Africa. 1t is
most gratifying to see that with all
the demands being made for con-
tributions for all kinds of war work,
the interest in the supreme business
of the church is rowing--carrying
the gospel to all men. The many
groups of workers who have been
canvassing the congregation for the
Lutheran War Work Fund for our
Rows on Land and Sea have almost
completed their pleasing task, and
report that they expect to go "over
the top" handsomely in old Zion.
Two service flags will be unfurled at
a special patriotic service to be held
at a future date, the silk flag will
be used in the church and will be
presented by Paul Chadwick. 1t will
hear one gold star in memory of
Lieut.. Col Ziegler. The Pocket
Testament League, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. V. II. Eager, has an en-
rollment approaching the 200 mark.
The Cenchrean Circle will convene
at Z o'clock on Monday evening, in
order to permit the members to at
tend the Lenten service. The Liter
ary Circle will meet with Miss Mar
garet Shreiner on Tuesday evening
at PA North street. The choir is
rehearsing a Lenten cantata to be
rendered on Holy Thursday evening.
and will also offer Praise service
for Easter sunday evening. New
Sunday and Good Friday evening.

FAMOUS TRIO
TOAPPEAR HERE
Trio de Lutece Will Be at
Fahnestock Hall For
Wednesday Club

In bringing to the fore the Trio de
LuteCe, that combination of artists
which will appear on April 1st at
Fahnestock Hall, the Wednesday
Club presents an organization of the
highest type. In the first place, this
now famous Trio boasts of three
great artists,-George Barrere the
most prominent flute virtuoso of this
generation; Carlos Salzedo, the most
noted harpist of to-day and Paul
Kefer the eminent 'cellist who was
five years soloist of the New York
Symphony Orchestra. Each an in
dividual artist, these men present
in their ensemble an equal perfec-
ton.
The Trio de Lutece, is so-named,
in honor of the native city of these
artists, namely Paris. Paris is the
early days of conquest was known as
Lutetia, or Lutece.
The musical literature upon the
programs offered by the Trio de
Lutece embraces the works of the
earlier masters such as Mozart, Han
del, and Hayden and the ultra-mod-
ern compositions of contemporary
writer's as Debussy, Ravel, etc. And
although, in every sense the pro-
grams are of a classical nature. they
are not conductive to WEAKNESS for
impossible to spend time in the study
impossible to spend time inthe study
of harmony. Almost all of the
music fitted for the Interpretation of
the Trio de Lutece, is of a happy
joyous nature imbued with elegance,
giving each artist, the opportunity
to reveal his art as soloist.
1t may be remembered that Paul
Kefer appeared in concert with
Florence Hinkle in this city several
years ago in one of the artists con-
certs of the Wednesday Club and
delighted his audience with his ex-
traordinary beautiful cello playing.

Big METHODIST
BANQUET MAR. 5
Arrangements For Gathering
of Methodist Members
About Completed

The Methodist Union, which con-
sists of all the Methodists of Har-
risburg and vicinity, will hold it's
First Annual Banquet in the Masonic
Temple Banquet Hall, Third and
State street, Thursday evening,
March Z, at 7.3O o'clock. Bishop
William f. Mcdowell will be the
speaker at this banquet. District
superintendent DR.. Norris Z.
Swartz, will also make an address
as well as a number of prominent
Methodist Laymen of this city. The
leaders of Methodism in the city
have felt, for a long time, the ne
cessity and desirability of a closer
union between the members of the
various Methodist churches of the
city and vicinity. In accordance With
this thought short time ago
Methodist Union was formed and the
FOLLOWING officers were elected:
President, Warren VanDyke; vice
president, John p. Mellick; secre-
tary, j. L. Snavely; treasurer, G. c.
Byler; trustees, Il. /. Boook, H. w.
Shirley, ID. II. Swope and Charles NJ.
Dickel. These officers, working as
an executive committee, appointed
six subcommittee to work out the
plans for this First Annual Ban
quet Each church was apportioned
certain number of tickets in ac-
cordance with their membership and
the total number of tickets given
out was five hundred and some were
to be sold at $1.00 per plate. At
meeting of the general committee
last evening reports from the eigh-
teen Methodist churches of Harris
burg and vicinity, showed that near
ly all of the tickets have been sold
and that only n few remained for
sale. The demand for tickets con-
tinues to be so great that those who
have not secured tickets as yet
should see their respective pastor at
once as the committee feels sure
that the demand for the tickets will
exceed the supply by at least three
or four hundred and it is absolutely
a physical impossiblity to seat more
than five hundred ladies and gentle
men in the Masonic Banquet Hall.
Large Methodist Membership
There are more than eight thou
said Methodists in this community
and this First Annual Banquet
promises to be the leading church
social event of the Methodists and
the fore-runner of many similar oc-
CdSlOIlS. i ne great ueIldIu IOT
tickets for this banquet shows that
the leaders of Methodism were right
in their conclusion that the Metho-
dists of the city desire a closer union
between the members of the various
churches and more get together and
get better acquainted meetings. Spe-
cial attractive plans have been work
ed out by the various committees
and it is anticipated the evening will
not only be one of great enjoyme ent
and pleasure but also one of special
profit to all who attend and that the
result will be a forward movement
in Methodism of the city and vicinity
which will stir this community as
never before. The Methodist Church
Union Banquet has become the lat
est church social event in all the
large communities of our country
and other Protestant denominations
are following the example of the
Methodist Church and are working
out similar union meeting plans.
