ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Teachers Institute which con-
.yened here on February 18th and l2th
vas a success. In 1act, those OF us
who have been attending Institutes for
several years can truthfully say, that
this is the best that it has ever been
our good fortune to attend.
The program given on Friday even
ing by Me Clio and Wilsonian Literary
Societies was enjoyed by one IT the
largest audiences ever assembled Ill
the High School auditorium. The sue
cess of the evening was indeed most
gratifying to the members OF the
faculty and to the students, all OF whom
appreciate the complimentary terms in
which the program has been spoken OF
by all who were present The pupil
seemed to feel that this was their at
fair and they must make it a credit
to themselves, to their teachers and to
the school.
The auditorium was divided between
the two societies and decorated in their
tespectiye colors. The Clio having pur
ole and gold, while the Wils0nians had
red and green. The program was be-
gun by yells and songs from both
sides, then the planned exercises for
the evening followed. Each number
was well rendered, which, in addition
TO the unusual and unique nature OF
the program made it most highly en-
pertaining in every respect.
Since one number was a Valentine
play the decorations Of the stage car
ried out that idea, with numbers Of
Hearts of all sizes suspended from the
ceiling and a back ground OF red and
the red shaded lights. All Of these
made the effect quite beautiful. The
mock trial was enjoyed immensely,
since its purpose was the way the
trial should not be rather than the
true idea.
The luncheon which was served by
the Les Amis club was literally pat
ronized by everyone The menu was
we'll selected. nicely prepared and
sracieusly served Quite nice sum
was realized as a beginning for dona-
ton to the starving Armenians.
The Athletic Association held most
enthusiastic meeting on Monday morn
Ing, Some definite plans were made
relative to base ball for the remand
err of the session. Quite a splendid
lineup was made The officers Of this
association are as follows Mr.. Wag.
ner, general manager; Ernest Murphy.

"The Swiss Bell Ringers will appear
at the auditorium Thursday evening,
| March 10th. This company has been
in the employ of the Ridpath Chau-
tauqua for number Of years, and
has made reputation that is to be
enyied by all platform people. We
may be sure Of the best and most en-
pertaining program of the year, that
will be given by the Swiss Bell Ring.

are the best recommendation they can

a DEAD CHRIST.
(Communication.)

a visitor to friend in Il large
city, tells this story: my friend
showed me over the city-thc great
buildings, parks transportation lines
and all, and then said he wanted me
to see his church. We went through
the splendid, decorated pile of brick
and stone. There was costly cushion
ed pews and great cathedral win
dows, carvings and tablets of marble.
great organ costing thirty thou
sand, occupied one entire end of the
church. Tho music made by the paid
choir was the sensation of the city.
Tho pastor had an assistant, each
high salaried. The musicnl programs
rendered on Sunday morning and
evening occupied forty-fve minutes,
and the sermons, read from man.
uscript, he said commendingly, was
only fifteen minutes long. There were,
he told me. large number of insti-
tutions and social organizations con-
nected with the church which rep
resented. all told. more than two
million dollars expenditure cnch
year.
The church register contained tho
names of number of millionaires
of the city, he added. Just how many,
or the numbers Of the membership
our friend did not know.
When he had finished his cnthusins.
tic description of things, asked if
there were not n large number of
conversions in this wonderful church
each year as there certainly should
be! lie hesitated, seemingly surpris-
ed by my question, and replied that
he didn't know. If there are any
any at all / have not heard of it
We do not specialize in that sort of
work" And so thought required, that
there are many churches that do not
specialize in that sort of work. The
pastor breaches, the people listen at
tentively, the benediction is pronounc-
ed, the people file out, apparently
satisfied, but no conversions
no requests for prayer, apparently
no conviction for sin. And this con-
dltion prevails all through the year.
The great, rich church in the city is
not an exception in this traffic of
pomp. pride and money instead of
souls. These are soullcss churches
bodies without n soul" Some one
mas written: Some people build
proud, cold mansoleums, call them
churches, and bury inside n dead
Christ"
