BEREA COMMUNITY
ENTERTAINMENT

For the last two years the Wo-
mans Club has financed and sponsor
ed the school hot lunch in the public
schools during the winter months.
This year Berea community wishes to
accept the responsibility Of the school
lunches as a community project. To
this end different organizations are
uniting in working out an interesting
and entertaining program which will
be given January 81 and 90 FRIDAY
and Saturday nights) at the public
school building.
The children of the first four
grades are uniting with their teach
ers in the work of preparing two in
terestng numbers for the program.
The girls of Echo Club, directed by
women of the Progress Club, are to
give a short comic play which is filed
with laughter from beginning to end.
The men of Berea were not IT, be
outdone, and are being represented
in a black face minstrel by the
young men of the town. The women
Of the Woman's Club are to assist
Miss Kersey, who is managing .he
performance.
The program appears to be an UNI
usually interesting one and well
worth seeing. The proceeds of the
entertainment will be used to pay a
woman TO prepare the school lunches
during the winter months. The rest
Of the money will be used to improve
the public school in other ways.
The tickets will be put on sale next
week. The price will be 25 cents for
adults and Is cents for children
Tickets will be sold by the school
children and at the drug stores, for

JACKSON STREET LEAGUE

This organization has fully justi-
fled its existence, which has been for
the past five or six years. That
street, tho one of the newer ones
of the town, has become one Of the
most desirable for residence. Prop
erty on it has largely advanced in
value, and is sought by people wish
ing fine view, a quiet neighborhood,
and progressive sentiment. The
street now has concrete walks, cur
bling and cutters, and is just COM
pleting the macadamizing of the
street for the entire width
The striking improvements Of tho
recent years have been brought about
largely because Of the readiness Of
the people living or owning proper
ty there TO cooperate with the town
authorities and assume some part of
the incident expenses. In securing
this end and in promoting a feeling
of fellowship among the neighbors,
the Jackson Street League has been
a great success. Its annual meeting
was held at the home of Secretary
and Mrs. Vaughn, on Monday, the
10th, inst. The attendance was large,
and much important business was
transacted, including the election Of
officers for the coming year.
Professor L. V. Dodge, who has SER
we'd as President for the past three
years, sought to retire. But the sem
timent for his retention in Office pro-
we'd so strong that he was finally
elected by ballot for another year
and accepted. DIR. Geo. II. FELTON, was
reelected Vice President and Mr.. Car
roll c. Batson, Secretary-Treasurer.
The following standing committees
were chosen for the year:
Streets and sidewalks-F. o. Clark,
J. F. Dean, John Muncy, L. V. Dodge,
and F.. G. Walker.
Sanitation-Harlan Dudley, John F.
Smith, and G. II. FELTON,.

Everybody knows that religion is
our great concern, but we do not
sense IL or realize it until we stop
and think.
This is what the protracted meet
ings do for us-they make us stop
and think.
Berea is stopping and thinking.
Our streets are full of converts and
inquirers. There are songs and
prayers where before all was silence
or discord and unhappiness.
IL makes small difference whether
religion comes to us in Methodist
bottles or in Baptist bottles, il is
the same thing. The Disciples had
their meetings and there were good
results. Then the Baptists began
and really shook the town. The con-
verts of their meetings are TO be
found in all the nearby churches.
Just now the Methodists are holding
meetings with glorious results. Week
after next the College will have its
annual protracted meeting which is

FRANk T.. AMBROSE

On the night Of January 2, 1922,
at o'clock, the spirit Of Frank p.
Ambrose passed into the Great Be
yond.
For over three months he had been
confined to his bed, and during the
whole Of that time il can be said
truthfully that no living creature
heard a murmur or complaint fall
from his dear lips. He was cheerful
and patient, and until the last showed
that humorous spirit which is so
well 'omembered by his friends.
During his life the Bible was his
constant conn anton and inspiration.
For twenty years he has been a men,
Der of the church and true Chris
tan.
He leaves a wife and a daughter
and two brothers, to whom his loss
is indeed deep and bitter.
His death was the death of Cody
man, and as of one who falls asleep
in Jesus.
He did not pass thru the dark
waters alone; there was One who
walked with him and guided him safe
to the fold by the Good Shepherd.
So passed the spirit Of our dear one
to that bright home where there is
neither sorrow nor death, and where
the Lord liveth and reigneth forever
and ever.

TRANSMISSION

During the rendering of a piano
solo by one of the great artists in
united chapel, October /, 1921, our
friend Taylor's fingers moved as il
he We're playing. His soul was so
full of music he could not keep his
fingers still. Oh that our souls
might be so filed with the divine
life that when the deep things of
God are being opened up to us we
could not keep still, but would have
TO express in some way this life, so
those about us would catch the de-
vine fire.

Jan. Ia, 1929
Mr.. James Renhart,
Mgr. Editor of The Citizen,
Berea, Ky.
Dear Sir:
I wonder if you and your associ-
ates realize just what you are doing
in the way Of newspaper making
Some of your readers saw the first
issue of The Citizen, and have seen
copies of most issues since. The
first issue had four pages-small
pages. It looked timid and asham.
ed. II seemed feeble and afraid,
and as remember, il was given
away TO any one who would ac-
cept it, on Commencement Day. from
little booth near the Tabernacle. A
copy of the first issue looked like
such a sheet as one Of your adver-
tsers might get out now TO tell about
the price of beans and sugar.
Few Of your readers will realize
its tremendous growth in size, scope
and Importance. Where The Citizen
goes, especially in the mountain sec
tons. il is an institution like the post
office and going TO mill.
The Citizen is non.partizan, there
fore interesting 10 politicians, and
both sides can damn it TO their en-
tire contentment and with good con-
science 1t has no political aspira-
tions, and we must believe that those
who write its political editorials are
in earnest, for they cheerfully offend
all parties on occasion.
The Citizen is non-sectarian in re-
ligious matters, and in fairness to its
friends and supporters of every creed
and of no creed at all, it publishes
the earnest and thoughtful utter
ances of people of all shades of opin-
ion. Therefore, it is instructive TO
most, and interesting TO all. even TO
the extremists in both orthodoxy and
liberalism, who are always finding
something in it 10 condemn.
The Citizen gives the local news
items from the roads, the
huckleberry patches, the back woods,
the creeks and the mountain settle
ments. We learn from it what our
friends and relatives are doing in the
towns and in the country places. 1t
is weekly letter from the old home;
il comes as straight as the crow
flies and always arrives.
The Citizen has a feature, that so
far as know, is unique-Prof Rob
ertson's articles on World News. I
pay eight dollars and fifty cents a
year for the substance Of those arti.
cles in two magazines. The Citizens
handling of the news of general and
national Importance is not excelled.
In its unassuming way it is a ma
tional newspaper. ! wonder if its
makers realize it?
The Citizen is an all-around gen
eral newspaper. II covers the ground.
II stands for decency, earnest thought
and right living. There is something
in it for everyone. II is like some
fellow in the Bible, it is "all things
TO all men" May it's circulation in
crease and its makers prosper.
Yours very truly,
A Reader

Conflagrations have cost the world

in the United States begins with the
burning Of Chicago on October 3,

the United States has increased
from s73,000.00 in 1875, to more
than $3.50. 900, 900 in 1921; a grad
ual but certain increase in losses.
The peculiar feature in that most all
fires are preventable, and the means
Of prevention are readily available
and easily applied.
Nearly all fires are the result OF
carelessness. and in order, there
fore. 10 arouse our people 20 a
