This will be known as Area Number Ten, and we believe it completes the organization and the machine will soon begin to operate, provided each part of it does its part. If you are a cog or a belt or a Next Sunday morning, February 27, at eleven o'clock the Woman's Foreign Missionary society will have their Annual Thank Offering service. Dr. E. D.

Mr. Long was missing from The" bass end of the choir Sunday, on ac- count of. sickness. He was missed too. May he soon be well again. The prayer meeting is growing. The interest is increasing. The sing- ing is fine. Dr.. Rapp never fails to interest and instruct. .. The meeting is out at nine. Only one night each week. Try it. There was a-fine spirit of christian brotherhood- and sisterhood evident _at the union-young peoples' meeting held at our church last Sunday night. Come again. Mrs. Robert Humphreys, 112 Wood- bine avenue, entertained the Fifth Division Friday afternoon, February 25. ion, "Q^^g-tfl-e-^hicTT Mrs. Baldwin is chairman. Our Baptist friends held a Sunday school social in our church Monday evening, and they had-ar good time. Mrs. Bickham entertained her Sun- - }J4> school class of boys Monday evening with games, eats and girls. Some of the boys have wondered why Mrs. Bickham could not teach a mixed class. If girls are good for a boy's Sunday school class social why would they not be good for a- boy's Sunday school class on Sunday? Business meeting at two o'clock. This will be an important meeting. Mrs. Darst, our president, has returned from California, and will be in the chair. Dr. Rapp had a big Bible class last Sunday. Those women got in once more. Brothers Harper, Millington, Cox and West were appointed to repre- sent our church in an organization of the Protestant churches of the village, for united action on any sub- ject that might call for immediate attention on the part of the Episco- palian, Congregational, Baptist, Pres^ byterian and-Methodist cfifufches. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The March Church Night Dinner will be held next Wednesday eve- ning, March 2. The dinner will be served by the Cozy Corner Circleâ€" another Circle famous for its good cooks, of which Mrs. L. E. Bush is chairman.. Over half the reserva- tions for the dinners are taken up by regular attendants who have re- served places in advance, and it is necessary therefore, that any others should call early, either to Mrs. Bush, three o'clock with Mr. Lloyd in the church parlor. This group of boys and girls are learning some of the -fundamentals of Christianityâ€"pre- paring themselves, a large number of them at least, for church member- ship. The Fireside group, a group of High School boys and girls ,will meet again this afternoon in- the church parlor. The Parent Teacher association of the Central school will meet Tues- day, March 1, at the Central school. The Play Institute, which is well- known to Wilmette people now, and which was started by the Woman's club last Fall, is an organized and working body, with Mr. Reed, 1030 Ashland avenue^â€"at-^itsâ€"head =Nex+ Monday evening at 8 o'clock they are planning an evening at the Wom- an's club to which are invited high school young people and those above high school age.

The North End Circle will meet Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. D. Lawrence, 520 Lake ave- nue. The Neighborhood and the North End Circles will meet together at the home of Mrs. W. G. Glover, 1240 For- est avenue. The Washington Avenue Circle will meet Friday at the home of Mrs. F. B. Crossley, 602 Washington avenue. We are sure that the Methodist people will be very glad when we get our new building completed, after the way in which we stormed their social rooms last Monday evening for our Mid-winter Sunday School party. It was decidedly the most successful affair of its sort we have ever held, and we wish to thank our Methodist friends for this generous courtesy._________ ..._______~â€"?= Our pastor brings to a close on Sunday morning his series of Feb- ruary sermons on "The Challenge to the Church," speaking of that challenge as it ^presents itself to wrestle with the world problems of today. Last Sunday morning he spoke of "The Challenge to meet, the prob- lems^ of our Community Life," and made some practical suggestions, which set a great many of us think- ing. The campaign for promptness irt the Sunday school is continuing with unabated enthusiasm, and is bring- ing to the opening exercises of the school so large a proportion of the scholars as to have quite revolution- ized the spirit and effectiveness of the hour. The "King of Grease" and "Tithing Thomas" will be the speakers next Sunday morning in the Presbyterian church. They will be assisted by the noted gospel soloistâ€""The Singing Weslbioak^. These three men are known as "live wires" and "go get* ters" in the business world. "They are there with the goods" both as commercial travelers and dead-in- e?rnest Christians." They are thus referred to by their fellows in the association of Chris- tian commercial travelers â€" "The Gideons." The "King of Grease" is Mr. M. M. The Cozy Corner Circle will meet j Sanderson, president of the Warren Thursday at the church. I Lubricant company of Buffalo, N. Y., with many branch offices Jhroughottt the country. Because of his high standing and remarkable success in the oil and grease business he is gen- erally known among his associates as the "King of Grease". He is chair- man of the National Evangelistic committee of the Gideons, and is considered to be one of their most interesting and able speakers. "Tithing Thomas" is Mr. F. G. Thomas of Freeport, Illinpisâ€"who is vice-president of a very large busi- ness corporation. Because of his un- usual zeal and remarkable success in the practice of certain Christian principles he is commonly known as "Tithing Thomas." Accompanying these speakers will be one of the most noted gospel so- loists among "The Gideons", Mr. Westbrookâ€"known as "The Singing Westbrook." He will sing three of their most popular gospel solos. â€"^ Why do these men appear in the ^Wilmette'"Presbyterian church- next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock? Be- cause it is Gideons Day along the north shore. "The Gideons" is a live, "up-to-the-minute" association of Christian commercial travelers. This is the organization that is back of the movement to place the Bible in hotel rooms throughout the country^ But in addition to this they are try- ing to practice the principles of Christianity and to persuade their fellows to do the same. They have a great message. You should hear them. The men are especially urged to attend.. At this week's Lenten service for young children the reef or gave a talk illustratedjwith the stereopticon, on events near the close of the lite HT Jesus, preparing the children for the coming of Passion week, followed by Holy week. These Lenten talks will be continued until Good Friday tak- ing the children through closing scenes of Christ's earthly life. A large delegation of teachers at- tended the weekly Institute for church school teachers and officers on Tuesday evening at Highland Park. The rector is giving a series of short talks on the Wednesday even- ings in Lent on "The Bible." A week after the subject was "What is the Bible?" and this week "How We Got our Bible."_________________________ (Continued on Page Eight) fc A week hence, President-Elect Harding will have been inducted into America's highest office. It is interesting at this time to note the code of journalistic ethics which is given to every young reporter on joining the staff of Mr. Harding's newspaper, the Marion Morning Star.

Get them both. Be truthful. Get the facts. Mistakes are inevitable, but strive for accuracy. I would rather have one story exactly right than a hundred half wrong. Be decent, be fair, be generous.

In reporting a political gathering give the facts, tell the story as it is, »troying the innocence of any child, not as you would like to have it. Treat all parties alike. If there's any politics to be played we will play it in our editorial col- umns. Treat all religious matter reverently. If it can possibly be avoided never bring ignominy to an innocent man or child in telling of the misdeed or misfortunes of a relative. Don't wait to be asked, but do it without asking, and, above all, be clean and never let a dirty word or suggestive story get into type.
