HOW TO OBSERVE SUNDAY--TOPIC Moot Question to be Subject of Sermon "What -is the right way to keep Sunday ?" "Where do young people belong in the life of the church?" These and similar questions are fre- quently heard in conversation, and they have suggested some of the top- ics that are listed for the Sunday serv- ices tomorrow at the Winnetka Con- gregational church. Rev. James Austin Richards will preach on "The Simple Life" at the morning service at 11 o'clock. He will discuss "A Christian Sunday" at the Men's class at 9:30 o'clock, and at the Sunday Evening club his suggestions on "The Religious Opportunity of Youth" wil be the basis for the even- ing's discusion. Dr. J. W. F. Davies' subject at the opening of the Church school will be "A Clean Name", and his sermon to the Junior church at 11 o'clock, "Pinches". The Church chorus and quartet have two great songs for their part of the morning church service. From Haydn's Creation, the familiar, "The Heavens Are Telling," will be given by chorus, trio and violin, and 'The Cherubim Song," which is part of the liturgy of the Russian church, will be sung a capella by the chorus. The Young People's club has but two more meetings this season before disbanding for the summer. This week the leader is Eunice Stoddard, and the subject of the meeting is "Looking Backward." Young people who are to be in high school next year are especially invited to come to these last two meetings, when plans for next winter, and new officers and commit- tees will be chosen. Chamber of Commerce May Have Permanent Secretary The Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce held its regular meeting Wed- nesday evening, May 20, at the Com- munity House. This was the first meeting since the election of officers and was the beginning of a new year for the organization. There were various committee re- ports and the matter of retaining a sec- retary and establishing a credit bureau was turned over to the executive com- mee Nittee which was authorized to act as it saw fit. The matter of continuing the band was also turned over to this com- mittee. There will be a meeting of the ex- ecutive committee at the Community House Wednesday evening, May 27, at which time these matters will be definitely decided, it is thought. Ac- cording to R. H. Schell, president of the organization, both are merely a matter of finances. Summer Ash Collection Schedule Put in Effect This week will mark the beginning of the summer schedule of ash collec- tion, it was announced by Village Manager H. I.. Woolhiser. Collection of ashes will' be made once a week, he said, ashes must be separated from garbage as they will be collected in separate trucks, owned and operated by the village. With the advent of warm weather it is thought that one collection a week, if made on a definite day, will be suffi- cient. It is expected that by using village equipment the collection will be more reliable. Rubbish collection will be made every two weeks, it was announced. Any householder wishing to secure in- formation as to collection days in his district may obtain it by calling the Village hall, Winnetka 2196. Garbage will be collected three times a week as during the winter. Congregation Holds Festival of Shabuoth The North Shore Congregation held special esrvices at the Glencoe Mason- ic temple Friday of this week in cele- bration of the Jewish festival of Shabuoth. This festival is one of the most im- ortant in the Jewish faith and comes seven weeks after the Passover. Like most of the Jewish feast days, Shabuoth has a double significance: it refers to the world of nature and also to the history of the Jewish peo- ple. It was a feast of gratitude for the harvest and of rejoicing over the giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai. "Soul and Body" Is Christian Science Topic The subject of the lesson-sermon at the First Church of Christ. Scientist, on Sunday morning, May 24, will be "Soul and Body." Services are held in the Masonic temple at 708 Elm street at 11 o'clock. Sunday school convenes at 9:35 o'clock and a testimonial meeting is held on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The reading room at 526 Linden street is open daily except Sunday from noon until 5 o'clock and on Wed- nesday evening from 9 to 9:30 o'clock. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925 GLENCOE PEOPLE BUY RESIDENTIAL BLOCK H. Earl Hoover, Dorothy M. Hoover and Francis S. Graham of Glencoe have purchased approximately one block of residential frontage adjoining the Skokie Country Club in Glencoe from Clarence E. Chapman of New York City through Gilbert D. John- son and Brother for a consideration of $50,000. Part of this property lies in the middle of the block on South avenue, between Valley road and the golf grounds, and the balance is located on Washington avenue between the country home of W. H. Titus and the golf grounds. The purchasers have no immediate plans for the development of this prop- erty. Promise Many Thrills in Techny Mission Play The first annual Mision Play, 'given by the Techny Mision at Techny, Ill, will be presented June 14, 17, 21 and 24. The performances will start at 7:30 o'clock in the evening "It is an impressive four act drama, replete with thrills and tears and laughter-provoking humor," it is ex- plained. "In a beautiful story it depicts the conversion to Christianity of Anda- louma, a royal prince ofthe Wayao, one of the numerous and once power- ful tribes which populate the hinter- land of Africa , the so-called Dark Continent. It shows the trials and tribulations of the Prince, not in a preachy, sermonizing way, but in a series of episodes and situations in- tensely dramatic and pleasantly comic. "Of particular interest will be the craftsmanlike manner in which the author introduces to the audience how our missionaries, meaning Amer- ican misionaries, both Protestant and Catholic, live, laugh, and labor in Africa." The play will be staged in an open- air amphitheatre which has been erect- ed on the grounds of the mission. More than 1600 seats will be available for every performance When EYES Grow Weary After reading, sewing, business or exposure to the elements, your EYES often become tired, dull and heavy.
