November 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 21 Politics Rotten? Forum to Discuss Question Sunday The Chicago Forum, Sunday after- noon, November 14, will present a dis- cussion of the question "Is Politics an Incurable Disease?" with four leading Chicago citizens contributing their answers. Fred A. Moore, director of the Forum, explains that the question arises from such facts as these--the wide-spread popular distrust of gov- ernment and of public officials, the diminishing percentage of voters who go to the polls, the rampant feeling that the professional politician and or- ganized machines hold a whip hand in shaping election results, all sum- marized in the phrase "politics is rot- ten." The speakers will be Anton J. Cer- mak, president of the Cook County board of commissioners; Henry P. Chandler, former president of the City club and chairman of the Committee of 200 that undertook to secure high grade candidates last spring; Victor A. Olander, secretary of the Illinois Fed- eration of Labor, and Miss Harriet E. Vittum, Northwestern university set- tlement. Each speaker will give his or her own answer to the question in view of the premises on which the question is based. Finally the speak- ers will be subjected to questions from the audience. The Forum meets in the Erlanger theater, Sunday afternoon, at 3:15 o'clock. Mrs. William C. Boyden of 725 Pine street left this week to visit her daugh- ter, Mrs. Francis Magoun of Cam- bridge, Mass. While in the East Mrs. Boyden will attend the Harvard-Yale football game. At Thanksgiving time she will be with her daughter, Eliza- beth, at Smith college, and plans to return to Winnetka in about two weeks. ---- Miss Emma Wilson of 623 Spruce street, accompanied by Mrs. W. H. Hand of Adrian, Mich., left Wednes- day, November 10, for La Jolla, Cal. | where they expect to spend the winter. | Christian Science Churches Fallen Lesson-Sermon in all "Adam and Man" was the subject of the Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, November 7. The Golden from Eze- kiel 18:23, "Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?" Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light" (Ephesians 5:1, 11, 13, 14). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Chris- tian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "When we are awake, we dream of the pains and pleasures of matter. Who will say, even though he does not understand Christian Science, that this dream-- rather than the dreamer--may not be mortal man? ... For right reasoning there should be but one fact before the thought, namely, spiritual existence. In reality there is no other existence, since Life cannot be united to its un- likeness, mortality" (p. 491). Text was Mrs. Eloise W. Wortley of 565 Lin- coln avenue, Winnetka, spent the past week-end at Williams college, where she was entertained by her son, Cab- ray. While at the college, Mrs. Wort- ley witnessed the soccer game between Williams and Wesleyan college, Cab- ray Wortley being captain of the Wil- liams team.
