TO SEE WHAT GOD IS DOING WITH HIS

WORLD'-Arthur Brisbane whose WRITINGS are
so familiar to thousands of Georgian readers has
oeen invited by the Committee on Conservation
ana Advance OF the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Ohlcago, to address the Conference of Church Pub
licity there in October.
ne OBJECT OF the conference is to discuss the DOS
SlD'llty OF making newspapers more useful to the
church, and Mr.. T. b. Smith a representative of
the committee, writes Mr. Brisbane as follows. 81

Radio WillFill Tents and Halls
By Richard Lloyd Jones


In most towns by this time the annual Chautau
qua is over soon will be. September and Octob
er are the county and state fair months These are
the big get-together festivals of the American
people. I talked recently with a radio expert and
enthusiast who enumerated at length the nestima
BILE benefits, both recreational and educational Of
this marvellous mechanism. Rather boastfullv he
said, Radio will ultimately eliminate the Chau-
tauqua, the lecture and entertainment platform"
He predicted that the tinerant musician will
stay IN his studio and the lecturer in his library
while the country folk from Main to Oregon will
need only to open up their receivers and perpetu-
al Chautauqua is theirs at their firesdes
In answer to all this l said, 'Well, we are still
going to have our fairs
Yes, he said that's because the fair is thing
to SEE not to hear
That, l replied, "1s why the Chautauqua is as
secure the fair The eye is greater educator
than tn :ear"
We learn more by seeing than by hearing. The
concert volinist puts personality into the bending
OF his bow, His manner quite as much as his mu-
SIC becomes part OF the emotion. We may hear
him hundred times year but we do not get the
full message of his melody until we see him invest
himself in his fiddle. x .yg,n
Oratory is still good when reduced to type and
put IN a book But the oratory that sways with in
splratlon and convinces most has the personality
OF the man as well the abstract thought of the
theme
Seeing is believing, runs the ancient adage. A
positive person is more convincing than an abstract
principle
Radio Will add to wealth of education. enter
talnment, and inspiration, but it will subtract
nothing.
Inc MULTIPLICATION OF good roads is going to bring
the country folk out to see the master minds that
they may better appreciate the worth of all the
radio brings to them in their homes
Nor did our friend take into his too quick de-
duct1on the human hunger for fellowship. We like
TO be together, to hear and good things toget-
err we love to laugh together When our hearts
are touched with sweet sentiments deep emotions.
we like to feel the comradeship of company. We
want to applaud together Whoever heard herm-
it hurrah?
We like to greet friends. It's nice to be neigh
bors It's fun to say 'howdy" 1t is living to ask,
+ DID you hear that, or see this" We like to SEE
what we can do We like to see what the other
fellow can do. That's why we go to the county
lar that's why we go to the Chautauqua tent and
the Lyceum hall. That's why the movie lures.
Z ne radio is going to make us want more and
moi less 1t is going to whet our appettes for more
line things and more fellowship with fine things
Radio Is gong to draw together talent and attend
ance' 1t is going to fill our tents and halls

He raised his arms and his head went

He raised his arms and his head went
back,
And he uttered wracking groan
He raised his eyes-and saw rift
OF blue where starlight shone,
He dropped his hands and kept his
eyes,
On the strip of midnight sky
That lowered above the towering walls
And gazed on the higher than high.
His deadened pulse, revived, beat fast
His sshrunken veins to swell,
And the city's walls, to his soaring
90 soul,
Pressed in like a prison cell.
His lips apart and his eyes ablaze
He strobe on air. to the street.
Said he, with my arms I'll crush
these walls" 4
And he firmly planted his feet.
His eyes on the skies, he stretched his
arms
And felt a Samsons power
But his hands touched air, however
he strained,
And the walls continued to tower.
He dropped his gaze to the shadowy
streets,
Relaxed sobbing moan;
His knees sagged in and his puny fists
Were bruised on the dusty stone.

We believe Mr.. Walker will give them such

that he will have secured the cooperation of enough

Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Hardwck his failure to abol-

Thrown Ashore Almost Naked.

Two men of the Chanticleer, Brit
Ish vessel, found themselves the sole
survivors of the crew of the boat their
skipper had sent ashore on The Pata-
gonian coast. A gale had suddenly
Iprung up, and when returning to the
vessel the small craft had stove in her
potion on q rock. The psie were
thrown ashore in an almost naked con-
dition, and to increase their disaster
snow began to fall heavily. The she'll
fish found on the shore was their only
food. A heap Of branches built like
a lean-to against the face Of the cliff,
and covered with earth thrown up by
their hands, formed their only shelter.
Death stared them in the face, and at
last each made the other promise that
in the event Of one dying the survivor
would not become a cannibrl. Two
days after the gale abated lookout
on board 81. M. S. Shearwatsr, then
proceeding to Esquimalt and the North
Pacific station, caught glimpse OF
them, and they were saved.
