Following the closing on Tuesday
night of the successful Special Servlr
ces conducted by DIR John Royal
Harris at the Presbyterian church,
a Christian Stewardship Chautauqua
and Sunday School Institute began
on Wednesday morning and will con-
tinue through next Tuesday evening,
bringing to Paris different speaker
of note each day, and giving the
Christian people of the town an ex-
cellent opportunity to hear Christian
obligations and Christian opportuni-
ties ably discussed twice and some
times thrice daily.
The impression that DR. Harris
made in the New Life Meetings pre-
ceding the Christian Chautauqua is
vital and will be lasting. He is a.
nong the most intellectual of the e.
vargelsts who have been to Paris in
recent years, and while not pro-
fessional evangelist nor an active
minister, being in charge OF the
Southern headquarters of the Nation
al Reform Association, yet he dellv-
ers a splendid message of Christian
fellowship and Christian necessities,
and his large experience and graphic
presentation Of the Bible have been
a blessing to his audiences. One of
his ablest sermons was delivered the
first evening of the Chautauqua,
when he spoke on christian Citizen
ship"
In conjunction with the Christian
Stewardship Chautauqua, Sunday
School institute is being held, con-
Quoted by Miss Lynn and Mr. Green

nesday, and continues for three of
the seven days of the Chautauqua--

reaping the advantage of these insti-
tute services, which are held also to-

The Christian Chautauqua, which

things for Christian fellowship and
Christian undertaking that has ever
