We arrived Mt Chautauqua Satur-

been decreed that I was to be n

water"
We found Berea atmosphere at
the cottage. Miss Isabelle's loom on
the veranda was rumbling. Mrs
Hutchins was practicing on the vic.
lin as a nupil Of Mr.. Sol Marcosson.
Miss Jameson was performing diff

Ernest Hutcheson. and Miss PAUL.

foretaste of the exhibition soon to be
given by the School of Physical Ed
ucation. under the direction Of Pro-
fessor Savage, of Oberlin College.
We felt like mere drones in a bee
hive of such varied activities.
I am sure that all Bereans will
be proud. as we are, that Miss Jane
son was given the honor of accom-
panying Mr.. Sol. Marcosson. the
famous teacher of violin at Chautau-
qua for twenty years. at his closing
recital. We all received "complimen-
taries" and applauded loud and long
In Mrs. Hutchins' judgment, she did
finer work than the Chautauqua
pianist in the same role.
The friends of Miss Paulison will
be glad to learn that she has been
chosen Physical Director for Women
at the Northern Normal and Indus
trial School, Aberdeen, South Dako-
ia. A fine opportunity. May her
enthusiasm not be chilled by the
northern winters.

still a boyish enthusiasm for this

DR.. Raymond has spoken for Beres
several times this summer, address
ing the Young Women's Club OF
Chautauqua, the Lions Club OF
jamestown and the Kiwanis Club OF
Buffalo. He preached in jamestown
during July and in Buffalo during
August.
The Chautauqua program is so
brilliant and varied that I will touch
only the high spots.
Pageantry has become a new form
of entertainment at Chautauqua I'M
der the direction of Prof. H. Aug
Justine Smith, of Boston University
The night after our arrival Song
and Light Festival was held on the
lake front. An immense platform
had been built on the lake. The
jamestown band played and the
Chautauqus chorus sang favorite
songs. A gondola with stringed or
chestra and decorated canoes circled
the stage in illuminated parade, Civ
ing a Venetian character to the
scene. Lanterns of brilliant huos On

Anothr Lake Pageant and Vene-
tian Night Carnival was shown on
the following Tuesday evening. The
perfect harvest moon, decorated
boats and launches, the electrical il
Elimination, the dancing of the Phys
ical Education students, and the
gayly lighted steamer anchored back
of the stage, filled with band, chorus
and visitors from Jamestown, made
this final lake spectacle a brilliant
success.
Probably the most successful of
the pageants was "The Light of the
World" directed by the author, Prof
II. Augustine Smith. The lighting
effects and costumes, with splendid
acting and fine solo and chorus work,
made the rendition very impressive.
The rendering Of this pageant by our
Foundation School last winter, con-
sidering their limitations, was very
creditable.
The religious side Of Chautauqua
has not been neglected. Three prom.
