March 31, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 3 NOTED CHICAGO RECTOR IN GOOD FRIDAY SERMON Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker to Give Address at Christ Church Three Hour Service The Rev. Irwin St. John Tucker will deliver the addresses on the Seven Last Words at the Three-hour Passion service, which will be held in Christ church on Good Friday from 12 to 3 o'clock. Mr. Tucker is remembered by many Winnetkans as having preached on various occasions in Christ church in the absence of the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, the rector. His addresses have shown a uniform seriousness of thought and brilliance of presentation. All members of the community are cordially invited to attend this Good Friday service. On Good Friday evening at 8 o'clock, the Christ Church choir will sing J. H. Maunder's sacred cantata, "Penitence, Pardon and Peace." There will also be a morning service in the chapel at 9:30 o'clock. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings of Holy Week there will be Celebrations of the Holy Communion in the Chapel at 9:30. Also, in the afternoon at 5 o'clock there will be Vesper services at which the rector of Christ church will de- liver addresses on "The Invitations of the Master." Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock the Rev. R. Malcolm Ward, assistant rector, will conduct the last of the special Children's Lenten services. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings there will be a series of Union Devotional services, other ref- erence to which is made in this issue of WINNETKA TALK. Congregational and Christ Churches Unite in Services Adhering to their custom of several years standing, the Winnetka Congre- gational church and Christ church will unite this year for special observances of Holy Week. Next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, the Rev. James Austin Richards will be the speaker at a union service in Christ church, on Sheridan road. The following evening at the same hour the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard will speak at the union serv- ice at the Congregational church. Especially significant and beautiful will be the service of Thursday night when the people of the two parishes will gather at the Congregational church to unite in the observance of the Lord's Supper. It was on the Thursday before Faster that Christ broke bread with his disciples in Jerusalem long ago and this service next week will be in the spirit of the Upper Room. File Three Suits Against Village, Totalling $35,000 The village of Winnetka is made de- fendant in three suits, said to have been filed, in which the total damage sought is $35,000. Two of the suits are in the Cook County Circuit court and the other in the Superior court. Elwood Rogers, of Glencoe, and Ern- est Haines, of Winnetka, are plaintiffs in the Circuit court cases, the former suit being for $10,000 and the latter for $15,000. Plaintiff in the Superior court case is Geofilo Ceruti. Alleged cruel treatment by Winnetka police at the time of making the ar- rests is claimed by Rogers and Haines, while the Ceruti case, for $10,000, is the out growth of his being twice ar- rested several months ago in the Ceruti troubles with the village. R. H. C. Miller, of Winnetka, is at- torney in all three cases. OPEN VOTERS' GUIDE Women Voters to Establish Non- Partisan Information Bureau Here April 9 and 10 Through the kindness of McGuire and Orr the Winnetka league will have headquarters in the vacant room on the north side of the North Shore line station on Monday and Tuesday, April 9 and 10. League members familiar with election laws will be on hand to answer questions arising in regard to the eligibility of voters and the technique of voting.

Illinois Federation of Labor, Woman's City club, and Illi- nois League of Women Voters will be obtainable there. Considering the fact that the ballot will be about four feet long with several hundred names of candidates it will be a wise measure to procure sample ballots for study if the voter is to cast an intelligent vote.

Edmonds and Edward A. Anderson, present members of the Winnetka School board, have been nominated for re-election at the an- nual election to be held on April 14, it was announced this week. The term of office is for a period of three years. Both Mr. Edmonds and Mr. Ander- son have during their term of office, it is pointed out, been extremely faith- ful to their duties on the board and have co-operated to a large extent in the formation of practical plans for the operation and expansion of the local schools to meet the needs of the community. Senator Deneen to Address Citizens' Meeting Tonight Sen. Charles S. Deneen and Judge John A. Swanson, Republican candi- date for State's Attorney of Cook County, will head a group of speakers who are to address a mass meeting of Winnetka citizens in the auditorium of the Skokie school tonight at 8 o'clock. It had previously been an- nounced that Louis L. Emmerson, Re- publican candidate for Governor of Illinois would speak at this meeting but alterations in his campaign itiner- ary have made it impossible for him to be in the village tonight. Other notable speakers at to- night's mass meeting, which is held under the auspices of the National Re- publican party organization (Deneen group), have been announced as fol- lows : Judge Charles M. Thomson, who will preside at the meeting; Prof. Charles A. Merriam of the University of Chi- cago; Judge Daniel S. Trude; Edward R. Litzinger, and Mrs. Anna Wilmarth Ickes. Startling revelations of crime con- ditions in Chicago and Cook county will be revealed by the speakers at this important gathering of voters, it is announced. Residents will be par- ticularly interested in hearing Senator Deneen and Judge Swanson in view of the recent bombing episodes in Chicago in which their homes were badly damaged and members of their households narrowly escaped death. Harold L. Ickes is the Winnetka chairman for the National Republican party group. Announce Program for Palm Sunday at Christ Church The sermon topic of the Rev. E. Ashley Gerhard, rector of Christ church, at the 11 o'clock service to- morrow, which will be Palm Sunday, will be "The Stature of Christ." At the Vesper service in the chapel at 5 o'clock the Rev. R. Malcolm Ward, assistant rector, will conclude his Lenten series with an address on "Among Those Present." There will also be a Celebration of the Holy Communion in the chapel at 7:30 a. m., and at 9:30 a.m. in the church the children of the Church school will meet for their corporate service of worship, at which the rec- tor will make an address. The final meeting of the Confirma- tion class will be held in the chapel at 4 o'clock. ' Country Day High School Pupils to Present Opera The High school pupils of the North Shore Country Day school will present three performances of Gilbert and Sul- livan's opera, "Princess Ida," on April 12, 13 and 14. This is the fifth year that a Gilbert and Sullivan opera has been performed by the students of the school, as a part of their work in the music department of the school. SPEAKS ON IMMORTALITY On Palm Sunday Rev. James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church Awill preach on "Im- mortality." At the five o'clock vespers, the choirs and quartette will sing Stainer's "Crucifixion." POSTPONE CONCERT The concert to have been given Thursday evening at Matz hall by the combined choirs of the Win- netka Congregational church was postponed until Thursday evening, April 19, because of the illness of the choir leader, Raymond Allyn Smith. 3 WOMEN BEGIN WORKING FOR "HOLIDAY SHOP" Co-operative Enterprise to Swell Funds for New Winnetka Congregational Church (Contributed) The "Holiday Shops" are to be at Winnetka Community House Novem- ber 20 and 21, 1928. It may seem to some that nothing short of a presiden- tial election is entitled to mention this far in advance. To many, however, this is an event of great meaning. Of course, there will be shops and shops of lovely and unique articles, collected by experts and made by skilled hands during these next months. That, however, is not what gives the shops their supreme significance; it is that they will stand for a great co-operative movement. How often does one hear the lament "If we only had some vital object for which we could work together and so regain that close association and unity that we had during the war!" For a certain portion of Winnetka, that object has arisen, namely the new Congregational church. Construction of any kind, be it pier, street, or home, is significant, but the building of a church goes deepest of all. It should have its foundations in the sacrificial love and aspiration of every member of the congregation. Minister Lauds Work Dr. James Austin Richards of the Winnetka Congregational church writes: "To me the most significant feature of the bazaar is that it is to be a co-operative effort. It is good for us to give to the new church building as an individual responsibility. It is also good for us to work for it as Christian comrades. Out of such a co-operative enterprise we may hope to gain new appreciations of each other and new fellowships for the Christian life. We are often brought together in large companies for worthy pur- poses, but life is enriched when we are afforded vivid experiences of the great numbers that are sincerely interested in the very highest purposes. I wonder what Peter, James and John talked about when they went fishing togeth- er." bd All Share in Venture With this idea in their hearts, the women of the Winnetka Congrega- tional church are even now turning their minds and efforts toward the "Holiday shops" of next November. Of course, the articles are to be sold for money, and the women hope to realize a large sum for the new church, but deeper than that lies the fact that every woman in the congregation is to share in the undertaking. Since anything that addsi to the beauty and usefulness of Winnetka is of importance to the entire village, and since Winnetka is famed for its com- munity spirit, it is felt that this effort will arouse the co-operation and sym- pathy of all. Congregationalists Will Hold Good Friday Service On Good Friday night at 8 o'clock, the Winnetka Congregational church will have its customary service of reading, meditation, and prayer. This may be the most quiet service ever attended by local parishoners. Many have found it one of the most precious. Details of the Easter Day services will be announced later. An innovation this year will he two sessions of reg- ular Easter morning worship. One will be at 9:30, adjourning about twen- ty minutes before the second service, which will be at 11, and the two service will be identical in every way. The Rev. James Austin Richards will preach.
