" WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1925 5 JOY OF LIVING, SERMON SUBJECT Prof. A. E. Hayden to Preach at Winnetka Congrega- tional Church Tomorrow LIKE SEASON PROGRAM Members Pleased With High Calibre of Speakers A rather unusual gathering in point of numbers greeted Dr. William B. Owen, principal of the Cook County Normal school, when he spoke at the Winnetka Congregational church last Sundav morning. Those in attendance were richly repaid. His subject, "Re- ligious Fducation," was handled in a straightforward, clean-cut manner, which had a very direct appeal to his hearers, it was: said. Gain Favorable Comment Favorable comment was heard on all sides, and it was generally agreed that the committee on summer serv- ices should have a vote of thanks for securing this very interesting speaker. in line with the committee's idea that services during the summer should be a bit lighter and less formal, it is in- teresting to note that Dr Owen brought several! hearty laughs from his audience with his pointed comments on current topics. [t is anticipated that an equally in- teresting service will be offered this | Sunday, when Prof. A. FE. Hayden of the Divinity school of the University of Chicago will speak on "The Joy of Living." How to Be Happy "In these days of heated contro- versies over the letter of the text rather than its spirit, and over weighty matters like evolution, the subject of Professor Hayden has a most attrac- tive sound," declares a member of the committee. Tt is assumed that he will tell his audience how one can be happy regardless of the arguments he espouses, and perhaps even though he refuses to be identified with either side of any controversy. The service takes place at 11 o'clock and a cordial invitation is extended to all, the committee announces. Winnetka Baseball Nine Wins Sixth Straight Winnetka's irrepressible baseball nine ran its unbroken string of vic- tories to six last Sunday. A Chicago outfit was the victim and the final count was 7 to 6, the locals coming from behind to overcome a five-run lead. Four runs were amassed in the sixth frame. The winning tally was put over in the home eighth when Schroeder was punched in the ribs by a fast pitch, went to third on a single by Spike Wadler and rode home with the latter when Larry Knox caught a fast one for three bases. Pete Lucchessi held the hostiles in the ninth rand Winnetka fandom went home re- joicing. This Sunday Winnetka takes on the Chi-Pals. Game time is 3:15 at the Playfield. Art Periodical Pays Tribute to Albright Adam Emory Albright, painter, whose most notable work has been his portraits of American children, re- ceived prominent mention in the Art Wor'd Magazine of the Chicago Eve- ning Post of the issue of July 7. Mr. Albright, though he is spend- 'ng most of his time in the West and Southwest, in company with his sons, Malvin Marr and Ivan Loraine, who also are "artists of note, has always been regarded locally as a resident of Hubbard Woods. An excerpt from the comment, by R. A. Lennon, reads: "Adam Emory Albright, a veteran of the corps of artists that makes Chi- cago its headquarters, is known prin- cipally as a painter of children. And in all justice, he has earned the title. Here is an artist, well past the stage of youthful exuberance, who has def- initely limited himself to the kind of work he wants to do, and is doing it. His wish is to paint the country chil- dren of America--the fast-vanishing race in which Whittier and James Whitcomb Riley, and yes, Mark Twain aw much to understand and love and interpret. 'That is the purpose of Adam cmory Albright--to make a record of youth as it was in his youth, as it exists in some few and scattered places today--the childhood of Amer- ica in its most picturesque and ap- pea ing phase. He will tell you so him- self. An artist of extensive training and long practice, one who has ex- nerimented widely, he came back to this almost unexploited field after many years."
