The last dinner of the Spring
season, sponsored by the Mems
brotherhood of the First Congrega-
tional church, was held In 4fhe
Fdining room of the church last
evening and attended by business
and professional men Of all denefn-
nations.
Eighty men sat down to dinner
at about $780, President Larry
Holland opened the evenings pro-
gram by the announcing of several
group songs. Mrs. Russell Cooper
presided at the piano. Several
songs were rendered with greater
or less success until some one ask
ed for "Sweet Adelaine." There
seemed to be something lacking in
the singing of this song, too. Most
of the fellows knew the words but
it didn't exactly click.
President Holland announced a
standing program committee of
Rev. C. ]. Morgan, c. J. McLain
and Clyde Thomas. The standing
ticket committee is George Berg
green and Victor T. Conklin.
The ladies of the church served
a splendid dinner after which the
party adjourned to the church aud
itorium where Rev. DIR. A. II. Gill
more, pastor of st. Anthony Con-
gregational church, st. Paul, was
introduced as the speaker of the
evening.
In May, 1880, DR.. and Mrs. Gil
more sailed from New York
for England, to attend the In
lternational Council of the Congre-
gational church. At the conclu-
sion of this conference Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilmore spent June, July,
August and the greater part of
September visiting in Europe and
the Near East. Egypt, Palestine,
Turkey were given especial atten-
ton. ;g.s ;. :,
DR.. Gilmore had visited Europe
on several other occasions. spend.
ing much time there during the
World War period. He is a native
of New England. :;
The speaker frankly admitted
that Palestine was considerable of
a dissappointment to him. Turkey
was the most interesting Of all the
countries visited and is making rap
i'd strides forward under the lead
ership of Renal Pasha. president,
of the new Republic.
The Jew Zionists are making an
attempt to take possession of Jes
rusalem. The religion of Jer1.3'
salem is very strongly Mohamedafi.
The doctor said the Temple wasfdfr
vided and five different supposedly
Christian religions held forth, Their
continual warfare, hatreds and pre-
JUDGES, one withfthe other, caused
the Mohamedans to have but little
respect for a religion where hatred
and suspicion is so prevalent. =
The advent Of the Jew Zionists,
backed with American and Europ-
can gold did not appeal to the ma
tives of Palestine. DR.. Gilmore
doubted very much If the Jew
doubted very much If the Jew
would ever have additional home in
Jerusalem and Palestine. He said
from what he saw and learned he
was not convinced that they were
entitled to it.
!, Cairo and Alexandria, the two
principal cities Of Egypt, were de-
scribed briefly. The former has a
population of 100000 and the lat
ter 100000.
On the boat enroute to Cairo
were 100 Egyptian students who
had been attending institutions of
learning in Europe. In the great
museum at Cairo are many Of the
articles taken from the omb of
King Tut a few years ago. He said
the trains one travelled on in Egypt
would surprise the average Ameri-
can. They compared favorably in
size, luxury and speed with the
Empire Builder and other transcon-
tinental trains Of the United States.
The New Turkey will be a reve-
lation to all visitors. He said one
could buy all the necessaries and
many Of the Injuries manufacture
ed in the u. s. at practical
" the same price one pays at home.
The Turkish government are COM
planning bitterly because they can
not export their wares into this
country because Of the tariff wall. |
Unless there is relief in this re-
spect, according to DR.. Gilmore. |
there will be a revulsion against |
America and her products.
This new ruler and president of |
Turkey Is commoner. When the
French and British were unsuccess-
fully attempting to take the Gallip-
ali peninsula and the Dardennels
during the World War, Gen. Kem-
al Pashi was the Turkish general /
in charge who successfully resisted
the occupation unil the Allies gave
up the attempt after the sacrifice
OF thousands of lives.
The Turkish general had recruit
ed his army from the interior from.
among people who had been at war
among themselves for II years
prior to the breaking out of the
World War. The Turkish people /
look upon him as their hero. DR..
Gilmore says he is a most kindly
gentleman and is to Turkey very
largely what George Washington
was to the United States in those
trying times of the Revolutionary
war.
The women Of New Turkey have
discarded the veil and are now rec
ognized as the equal Of the men.
