4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1924 LAUDS WOLSTED WORK IN INDIA Winnetka Minister Is Agri- cultural Leader "When Rev. and Mrs. Clarence E. Wolsted stayed in our home a few months. upon their arrival in India," said Rev. Edward I. Nolting of the American college, Madura, India, in his talk at the Winnetka Congrega- tional church, last Sunday, "we said that, if they applied themselves later to.their work as they did to the study of the language, they would make good missionaries. "And they are doing just that. They are most sympathetic toward the peo- ple, which is a necessary quality in the life of missionaries. Ministers to Lepers "At present they are living in Man- amadura, about 30 miles south of Ma- dura, South India. They supervise a hoarding school for boys and girls. The Indian pastor there speaks very highly of them and predicts a large life of service for them among the Indian people. As a government lep- er asylum is located at Manamadura, Mr. Wolsted supervises that also. It is difficult for us to imagine a sadder and more pitiful condition than the lot of lepers in India; but Wolsted, through starting a library, introduc- ing games, organizing a school for children and a Sunday service, and planting a garden, has accomplished his task so well there that one of the voung men in the asylum was heard to say that he had not dreamed that a leper asylum could be such a haven of refuge or that so much of heaven could be found here on earth." Interested in Farming "Mr. Wolsted is especially interest- ed in agriculture," said Mr. Nolting. "He is buying a piece of land that he can use as an experimental farm. There is much scope for developing agriculture along more productive lines and thereby helping the farm- ers raise better crops and improve their scale of living. We hope that he can later develop this line of work in connection with the vocational de- partment of the boys' high school." "Oxen, which can be obtained for about $20 a yoke, still furnish the mo- tive power for farm work in India, tractors being impracticable both be- cause of the expense and the difficulty of using them in terraced fields of small area. Tools are obtainable at the foreign branches of American im- plement firms at Bombay and Calcut- ta, and a number of the members of the Winnetka Men's Sunday Morn- ing class are interested in assisting Mr. Wolsted to abtain such imple- ments as would be of greatest value on such an experimental farm. "Mr. Wolsted's assistants are secur- ing land for the poor farmers and are now 'helping him to organize co-opera* tive societies. Agriculture Their Salvation "I hope more and more we can en- courage the needed industrial and ag- ricultural work," wrote Wolsted in hig last fetter. "If the people could raise more than merely enough for a bare living, then in time they could entire- ly support teachers and churches." Legion Opens Bowling and Indoor Schedules Indoor baseball and bowing teains have been organized by members of Winnetka Post of the American Le- gion. The two teams have been lim- bering up during the past week and are now ready to meet all comers on the north shore. Harold Voltz is cap- tain of the baseball team and Tom Brown is leading the bowlers. "SEA HAWK" ENDS TODAY At the conclusion of the matinee and two evening shows at Commu- nity House today, "The Sea Hawk" ends its highly successful two-day run in Winnetka. This film is from Sabatini's tale of pirate adventure and is the story of an English gentlemen who became the mighty chieftain of the seas. CARRY HARVEST GIFTS | TO CHURCH TODAY (Continued from page 1) Mr. Hutchinson is one of the new- er members of this community and, because his work is not so definitely connected with Winnetka's institu- tions, may not be so well known among the residents as are some of the other speakers in this series. He has spent several years in China studying its life and problems while serving its people. His return to America was dictated by considera- tions of health. Some months ago he joined the editorial staff of the Chris- tian Century, edited in Chicago. He is in so great demand as a speaker that Winnetka must "catch him on the wing." The complexity of the orien- tal situation and the certainty that America will have many problems to solve in her relations with China, give great timeliness to his subject. Miss Lasier, Organist The organist for the evening is Miss Marion Lasier. Mrs. Orval Simpson, who is the soprano soloist at St. Elis- abeth's church in Glencoe, will sing two solos, "God is My Shepherd," by Dvorak, and "The Golden Bells," by Marvel. The public is invited to all the ser- vices of the day. SPEAKS IN OHIO C. W. Washburne, superintendent of schools, spoke to the Parent-Teacher association and the board of educa- tion of Glendale, Ohio, last Friday. The organizations sought the advice of Mr. Washburne regarding the advisability of adopting the individual system of instruction as used in Winnetka.
