III, November 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 61 ing to Mrs, Wessling that a Rev. Mr. Boss, also from Pennsylvania, or- ganized the Evangelical Association church, which, she explains, is a branch of the Methodist chucrh, and not, as many have inferred, a German Lutheran church. The Rev. Mr. Boss traveled on horseback, calling on the few scattered settlers in the vicinity in the interest of his church organiza- tion project. It was the first church for miles and miles around, the near- est one of Protestant denomination be- ing at Naperville. Mr. Boss, although the organizer, was not the first min- ister, Mrs. Wessling says, nor does she recall that person's name. Congregation of 400 Souls When the church with the tall stee- ple was built, nearly fifty years ago, the Evangelical association boasted a congregation of over 400. The late Rev. Henry Meier was then pastor, and, despite the fact there were no paved roads, nor automobiles, all went to church, and, according to Mrs. Wessling, "we had to go early, if we desired to get a seat." "There were nine separate prayer meeting classes, on Thursday, too," she explained, these services being held in the day time, rather that at night, owing to the more advantageous traveling conditions by daylight. The old church bell also came from Pennsylvania. George H. Bubert, father of Ira N. Bubert, now living on Dundee road a short distance east of Wheeling, and whose wife is a daugh- ter of Mrs. Wessling, was chairman of the bell-purchasing committee. Even to this day, weather permit- ting, some of the older members of the congregation travel down to Aus- tin boulevard that they may enjoy the ringing of the historical old bell. Tt is real music to their ears. The late Bishop J. J. Escher, who was reared a mile south of the church, was ordained in the old church, It was the scene of hundreds o1 happy weddings; funerals were held here; the children were baptised within its sacred portals; annual con- ferences of church workers for many years directed church activities, and from its godly, upright teachings have gone forth men and women to all parts of the world. But, today, it's "For Sale." Book Tells How Parents Can Guide Child in Music That it is never too early to begin the musical education of children is the thought underlying a new movement that puts the first responsibility for such instruction up to the parents. This effort is in the field of pre-school music. Some of the principles em- bodied in the movement are summed up in a booklet entitled, "Pre-School Music: A Guide to Parents," written by Floy A. Rossman, who has had considerable experience. as a publié school music supervisor.
