In his sermon the preacher will tell us something about what we can and what we cannot do on the Sabbath, according to the teachings of scripture. In addition to the regular number by the new chorus choir, a quartet will sing at this service. The plan now being carried out by the Wilmette Metho- dist church is to have one extra good service Sunday morning and no afternoon or evening service, except the Epworth league meetings at 6:30 â- o'clock, and it is hoped that by con- centrating the effort on this one service that everyone attending, whether Methodist of otherwise, will feel well repaid. The women of the second division, of which Mrs. E. G. Bentley is the chairman, were entertained Monday afternoon, October 18, by Mrs. A. L,. Arragon, 1218 Forest avenue. This division, having lost about seventy- five per cent of its membership by removals during the past two years, is planning a very aggressive cam- paign for recruits. The first of the "Win-my-chum" series of meetings in the Epworth league, was addressed by Dr. Rapp last Sunday evening to the great satisfaction of the young people present. Mr. Leland Pierson will ad- dress the second meeting next Sun- day evening at 6:30 o'clock, and there will be one or more special musical numbers. Mrs. W. D. Mathews, 1321 Lake avenue, entertained the women of the third division, Mrs. John D. Etnerich, chairman, Thursday afternoon, Oct- ober 21. If careful planning for their work indicates anything the women of this division will have something worth while to report at the close oi the year. At the prayer meeting, each Wed- nesday evening at 8 o'clock, Dr. Rapp will devote thirty minutes to the study of the Sunday school lesson for the following Sunday. ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH A Family Dinner for St. Au- gustine's people was held last night in the Parish house and was a -great success. All the tickets were sold some days before the dinner and a considerable number who wished to attend were disappointed as no more tickets could be sold. The object of these dinners is to bring the people of the gongregation together in social intercourse and to enable them to become acquainted in such a way as is not possible at the church services. A great many new families have come to St. Augustine's recently and one object of the dinner is to wel- come these into the church fold and to give thejjeople of the congrega- tion an opportunity to meet the new arrivals. The musical part of the program was under the direction of Mr. Carle- ton Kaumeyer and was enjoyed by all. Mr. George R. Folds, a prominent Chicago business man, gave'an ad- dress on Christianity and citizenship, discussing the duties of the church- man in the community and pointing out the immeasurable benefits that the church confers on the light of the community. So great was the success of this dinner that it is hoped to follow it up with other similar ones at suit- able intervals. Great preparations are going on for the production of* the musical opera "Miss Bob White", under the auspices of the Woman's Guild of S{;. Augustine's. Much information relative to this presentation will be found in another part of this paper. The cast, consisting of some 175, is being trained carefully each after- noon and evening by Miss Wilcox of the John B. Rogers Producing company and there is every indica- tion of a most credible performance. The play will be put on two evenings at the Woman's club. Wednesday and Thursday, October 27 and 28. It is hoped to have a matinee specially for the children on Thursday after- noon. St. Augustine's Sunday school is advancing by leaps and bounds. A week ago Sunday the attendance was some thirty more than has ever been reported at St. Augustine's. All the accommodations are greatly over- crowded and the thirty teachers and officers are eagerly looking forward to the large and commodious Parish house to be erected before long. In less than two years it has jumped from seventieth in the diocese to tenth or twelfth. r* Wednesday evening, October 20, a meeting of some of the men of St. Augustine's was held, led by Mr.. Lawrence Choate of Philadelphia, one of the National Secretaries of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. Mr. Choate travels about the country training groups of men in church work. The plan is to form a training group in St. Augustine's, which will meet under Mr. Choate's leadership fortnightly for eight weeks, mak- ing it a sort of institute for church work among men along the lines of the* Brotherhood of St. Andrew, the national organization of the men and boys of the Episcopal church. The members of this brotherhood work under two rules, known as the rule of prayer and the rule of service. The work dc ne by the Brotherhood of St. Andrev consists principally in bringing men to the services of the church and enlisting them in the different activities. The Boys' Vested Choir of St. Augustine's has undergone a good many changes since the summer va- cation season, some of the older boys having left the choir temporarily on considerable number of new recruits considerable number of new recruits are being trained to take their plac- es. The choir, under the able teach- ing of Hr. Thomas Fullerton, is steadily improving. There are still openings for some boys from the tge of nine to thirteen. Mr. Fuller- ton intends developing the choir in- to one of the largest, on the north shore. Membership in this choir af- fords an unusual opportunity to have boys trained musically and to become familiar with some of the best religious music. Application should be made to Mr. Fullerton at St. Augustine's parish house any Tues- day of Friday evening at 7 o'clock or to the rector at any time. A Servers' or Acolytes' Guild is be- ing organized at St. Augustine's, some sixteen of the younger men be- ing especially interested. These young men take a prominent part in the services of the church at all the public, services, wearing vestments and assisting the rector in the con- duct of the services., It is planned to have a monthly meeting for in- struction and sociable fellowship. Mr. J. B. Greiner is condumting a series of common sense talks to young men every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in the rector's study. The /mjeetings are quite informal and everyone is welcome. The Bishop of Chicago, Rt. Rev. C. P. Anderson, D.D., will visit St. Augustine's on the Sunday before Christmas for confirmation. The rector is planning to begin very soon a series of talks on membership in the church. There will be special talks for children at special hours, to be arranged, and at other times talks and discussions with adults. Some of the Sunday morning ad-" dresses in church will also be devoted to this important subject. St. Augustine's had the second largest number confirmed of any church in the diocese last year and is eager to keep up this record. Tfce Woman's Guild of St. Au- gustine's began its fall sessions sev- eral weeks ago. There has been good attendance at the regular Fri- day meetings and much work is be- ing accomplished under the leader- ship of Mrs. E. A. Kaumeyer, the president. At the last Friday luncheon fthere were about seventy in at- tendance. St. Augustine's congregation plans to place a bronze memorial on the wall of the church to the members of the congregation who fell in the great war. This memorial will prob- ably be completed by Armistice Day. The Church School Choir, under the leadership of Miss Louise Robin- son, now consists of thirty-five vest- ed girls. These girls meet every Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, and lead the devotions of the church school in church service every Sun- day morning at 9:45. The girls are looking forward to some social di- version in the future. feSf"'i^^Sfi?ll;fev;- UlltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilHIIIimillllHIIIIIIIItlllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIHIIHIS I BAPTIST NOTES I E 3 ^IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllltlllllllllllHIIirillltUMIIIIIIIIMtllllllli! . The social program of the Wil- mette Baptist church has eized upon the season of spooks with a venge- ance. Through the kfndness of the proprietor of the Tornado Tavern at Sheridan road and Chestnut ave- nue, the use of the two-story brick barn and the yard about it has been placed at the disposal of the church for what the committee in charge has styled an old-fashioned sheet and pillow-case party. The evening re- served for the event is Tuesday, October 26. This is the eighth suc- cessful church-v/ide social program which the chvr h has enjoyed in the past ten months and has been of great benefit in promoting acquaint- ance and developing friendship in the rapidly growing, congregation. With the letting of the contract last week to the Lakeview Iron Works of Chicago for the steel and iron units in the construction of the church edifice, all but one of the major contractsâ€"that for the car- pentry and mill-workâ€"have now been closed and work in the build- ing at Forest and Wilmette avenues, will be pushed with all speed. The foundation walls are in and the mason contractor, Bernard Meyer, is rushing to completion that portion of the ground-floor which is to house the heating plant. In the series of mid-week meet- ing topics on "What Christians Ought to Know", the theme on Wed- nesday, October 27, is to be "The Religion of Cox and Harding". The interest in this theme is heightened by the fact that Mr. Harding has for many years been an active official member of the Baptist church in Marion, Ohio, and that Governor Cox is a member of the United Brethren church, which entertains beliefs and practices strikingly similar to those of the Baptist church. This series of prayer-meetin topics promises to be most instructive and helpful. "The Great Men of the Bible and Their Messages for our Times" is the general theme of Mr. Stifler's October sermons. »He has already spoken on Joseph, Moses and David. On October 24 he will speak on "Isaiahâ€"The Man who Warned his. Race". GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY The Call to Community Service WAR calls a nation to arms. A million men answer Here! But each chooses his own weapon. No company-â€"no regimentâ€"no army. A mil- lion privates, each his own general, fight- ing when and where and how he wills. Wasted man-power for lack of unity and leadership! GOD calls a community to service. Men and women answer Here! But each chooses his own way. Some to chores or shores; some to golf or garden; some to motor or movies. Each mortal a potential power, for community service. Wasted moral-power for lack of unity and purpose! IF war strength depends upon united man- power in the army, so does community char- acter depend upon united moral-power in the Church. The Church is the army of God.
