Have you read the sermon with that title, recently preached by Rev. James A. Richards and sent throughout the Congregational church parish? If so, you are making up your mind about the new name suggested for the church on Lincoln avenue, hitherto called the Win- netka Congregational church. Or is your mind already 'made up; closed to any argument, colored by just an instinctive dislike of change? Or do you dislike the proposed new name? The committee, consisting of seven only 14 names which they found at all the subject. They finally brought in given long and careful consideration to thoughtful and open-minded persons, has suitable! One by one 13 were elimin- ated ; and the committee now recommends the name "The Village Church." True to our Congregational usage, this name will be discussed and voted upon by the whole church membership at the annual meeting on December 10. New-comers should not feel that they must keep quiet. It is partly for them that the change in being offered, that they MOTHER SERIOUSLY ILL Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, rector of Christ church, was suddenly called East this week by the serious illness of his may more quickly understand the spirit and purposes of. the church in this com- munity.

Goode regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, December 3. The speaker at the noon luncheon, Katherine Hancock Goode, is the second woman to be elected to the Illinois legis- lature. She is the wife of Dr. J. Paul Goode, a well-known lecturer connected with the University of Chicago. Mrs. Goode is nol comsidaied a politician; she has rather been known as a lover birds. a friend of humanity, and a person in- terested in education for the highest type of citizenship. Hence, when per- suaded to run for the office of State Rep- resentative, she was supported not only by the party on whose ticket she was placed, but by many independent groups. Attractive Personality An attractive personality is one of Mrs. Goode's assets. A leading Winnetka woman declares, "Mrs. Goode would be interesting on any subject."

CHARLES JEWELL MEN'S CLASS SPEAKER Prof. Charles S. Jewell of the depart- ment of science of Nicholas Senn high school, Chicago, will address the Men's class of the Winnetka Congregational church this Sunday morning at o'clock. He will speak on the subject, "How Shall We Think" The meeting will be held as usual in the American Legion of Community House. ! This is a topic of great importance. Says Professor Millikan, winner in 1923 of the Nobel prize: "In the final analy- sis, the thing in this world which is of most supreme importance, indeed the thing which is of most practical value to the race, is not, after all, useful dis- covery or invention, but that which lies far back of them, namely, "the way men think." As a member of the Men's class puts it: "How do men think about politics, business, education? = More important, because forming the foundation of all men's other thoughts and actions is the way man thinks about God, about Christ, about man, about progress, about society and human relations. The class addresses are always followed by free and frank discussion. All men who are interested in talking over ques- tions such as those mentioned above are invited to be present and participate. $155,000 WILLOW ROAD TRACT SOLD THIS WEEK Quinlan and Tyson, north shore real estate brokers, through I. T. Dodds, manager of their Winnetka branch, announce the sale of 80 acres of land in New Trier township on the Willow road, to a syndicate which expects to use the tract for subdi- vision purposes. The sale price of $155,000 is said to be a record for such a transaction in this vicinity. This acreage is on the right-of-way of the proposed Niles Center exten- sion and should prove a likely field for subdividing operations, it is thought. Mr. Dodds also reports the sale of the William F. Groene residence at 1110 Pine street, Winnetka, to Ray- mond F. Koch who will take posses- sion immediately. Phillip Danielson, well known north shore builder, has purchased through Quinlan and Tyson, a lot on Sunset road from P. M. Prato and expects shortly to start building his first Win- netka home at that location. M. G. Weinstock has purchased from Eugene Krebs, the southwest corner of Sunset road and Woodland avenue where, it is reported, he plans PRISON REFORM LECTURE THEME Thomas Mott Osborne, For- mer Warden of Sing Sing, to Speak in Village HERE ON DECEMBER 8 "Crime and Punishment" ls His Subject On Monday evening, December 8, at an open meeting at the Winnetka Woman's club, Thomas Mott Osborne will speak on the subject, "Crime and Punishment." All intrested in this timely topic are cordially invited to be present. Thomas Mott Osborne was born at. Auburn, N. Y., September 23, 1859. He was graduated from Harvard with the degree of A. B. in 1884. On the death of his father, in 1886, he became president of the D. M. Osborne com- pany, manufacturers of agricultural implements. He is now president of the Auburn Publishing company and head of the Auburn Citizen. Opposed by Tammany In 1898 he was a candidate as am independent Democrat for lieutenant- governor. He was opposed vigorous- ly to Charles F. Murphy. From 1903 to 1905 he served as mayor of Auburn, and in 1907 he was appointed a mem- ber of the Public Service commission of the second district. He resigned in 1909, and became Forest, Fish and Game commissioner the following year, leaving that position in 1911. As chairman of the New York State Commission on Prison Reform, he attracted nation-wide attention. He had been interested for years in thc Junior Republic, that most success- ful experiment in the declamation and education of "difficult' children, and had felt that the self-government system in use there could be adapted to the prisons. Takes Up Prison Life Mr. Osborne is known all over America, as the man who voluntarily went to Auburn Prison for a week's confinement in order to learn at first- hand the conditions of prison life. and who was later appointed by Gov- ernor Glynn Warden of Sing Sing Prison. To this task he brought not only a wealth of sympathy, but also the matured experience of a highly trained and successful business execu- tive. At the time of his appointment Sing Sing was the stronghold of a corrupt political ring, which regarded the institution merely as a legitimate object of exploitation. The story of Mr. Osborne's fight against this ring for more humane conditions in Sing Sing Prison is a dramatic one. His administration of the prison was rev- olutionary in its revolt from both the methods and the spirit of the old order. He adopted as the cardinal principles of prison administration the elimination of graft, waste and in- efficiency in the business end of the institution and the introduction of a spirit of justice and fair play towards the prisoners. Rehabilitation His Aim Mr. Osborne has always contended that the purpose of a prison should be, not vindictive punishment, but the social rehabilitation of the offender. Fach inmate was to him not so much a prisoner with so much time to serve for a given offense, but a human being in most cases the victim of faulty invironment, no worse at heart many times than the men still out- side of jail, but needing to realize his responsibility to society, and to learn to subjugate his own impulses for the common good. Whatever tended to degrade the prisoner, to lower his respect, to to excite him ti revenge- ful bitterness, Mr. Osborne strove to remove from prison life, and at the same time to develop the faculties of social cooperation and self-control. His theory was that the prison was a real failure in so far as it failed to send the prisoner out into the world a saner, more self-reliant and more self-respecting as well as a more law- abiding, man than when he had en- tered the institution. Mr. Osborne's hardest fight, while he remained warden of Sing Sing, was not with the prisoners, but with the prison ring, which fought him at every step. to erect a home in the spring. 'Mr. Dodds in an optimistic manner said that he expected a rush of home site buying and a boom in home con- struction in Winnetka between now RUBBISH FIRE The Winuetka Fire department was called to the corner of Elm and Glen- dale where they extinguished a brush fire about 9 o'clock Sunday evening.
