Congressional Club
Enthuses Over Guest

EDGAR GUESTS lecture recital
OF his own poems at the Con-
gressional Club Monday evening
was pronounced one OF the finest
things of the season. He was in
troduced by Congressman Louis c.
Champion Of Michigan as Eddie"
Guest, and proudly claimed by
him as Michigan's own.
Mr.. Guest was the guest of Con-
gresham Champion during his stay
in Washington. and the wives of
the Michigan delegation in Con.
gross were hostesses for the eve
ming at the club.
When Mr.. Guest appeared upon
the platform his unpretentious, al
most shy, bearing won his audi
ence at once. His numbers were,
most enthusiastically received,
and he was urged to respond
again and again, which he did
with kindly generosity.
His rhymes picturing everyday
people in their everyday ways car
ried his hearers from laughter 10
tears. To Eddie Guest the bug
under every domestic chip is a
poem. He discovers them and
tells their story in rhyme. Rarely
has a speaker before the Con-
gressional Club met with such
general appreciation.
In closing the program, Mrs.
Irwin Lenroot, president of the
club, said: Mr.. Guest has touched
such human and responsive chords,
and we have all felt so closely
drawn together that every one
will like to meet brother Eddie"
And they did.
At the regular Friday afternoon
tea of the Congressional Club,
March II, Mrs. Winslow and Mrs.
John Cable will be guests of honor
and will give recital. Mrs. Bur.

quered the greatest Of iife's enc
mics. IAN the miseries wrought
by sin and sickness put together
would not equal those we bring
on ourselves by fear-everyone is
logged by fear in some form or

says:
Look at the people you run up
against in the course Of few
hours. Everyone is living or work
ing In fear. The mother is afraid
for her children. The father Is
afraid for his business. The clerk
is afraid for his job. The worker
Is afraid of his boss or his com
petitor. There is hardly man who
is not afraid that some other man
will do him a bad turn.
"Theretis hardly a woman who
Is not afraid that things she

or school, or a church in which

those we bring on ourselves by the

Of us-or practically all Of us--are
