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.

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.

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.

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.
