This choral oranization, under the di- rection of Professor B. N. Hotton, of Chicago, has risen rapidly in popular- ity, not only locally, but as one of the favorites of WQJ's radio program. The address of the evening will be delivered by the Rev. Vernon W. Cooke, of Western Springs. Mr. Cooke served with the Y. M. C. A. in France and Germany, during the war. From April 1, 1918 until the Armistice he was with the Thirty-Second Division, sharing the hardships and dangers with the soldiers during those months of severe fighting. After the Armistice he was engaged in the work of social hygiene, part of the time with the Army of Occupation in Germany. He returned to this country in July 1919, since which time he has been pastor of the Congregational Church in Wes- ter Springs. A few weeks ago he ac- cepted a call to the First Congrega- tional Church of Peoria, one of the oldest and most historic churches in the State. He will begin his pastorate there on June 15. Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, rector of Christ church and chaplain of the Winnetka Post of the American Leg- ion, Rabbi Harvey E. Wessel of the North Shore Congregation and the Rev. Thomas A.
