That is the only informa- tion given out by "those who know". It has been hinted that there will be ghosts, goblins, and witchesâ€" that the piano will be neededâ€"and that masks and costumes are hoped for bat not compulsoryâ€"and that* is all. But that's not all f The Juniors will hold their party * from 7 to 8 JO o'clock and the older group of high school age and older are invited at 8:30, Friday, October 20. Saturday night at 7 o'clock ,the boys of the Intermediate department are invited to a Wiener roast on the playground. Full equipment for a real Wiener roast is on hand and the lot is ready for everything. Mr. A. J. Coburn has charge of this party. The bulletin board in front of the church asks the question, "Why Do You Uve in Wilmette?" Something more is necessary than quiet sur- roundings to make the community worth white. Mr. Iyloyd will take the subject, "Proving Communities", for his sermon Sunday morning, the last of his series, on practical tests. Ernest Bourner Allen, the man who put Congregationalism on the map in Toledo and who is now doing splendid work at the Pilgrim church of Oak Park, has been secured as the speaker at the second Church Night dinner of the season, which will be held next Wednesday night, November 3, at 6:30 o'clock. Dr, Allen has taken as his subject, "The Church Today". Dinner will be serv- ed by the Central Avenue circle, Mrs. A. J. Taylor, chairman. These din- ners, which have been a great factor in the sociability of the church, are closing their second year with un- abated popularity and no better man can b«f found to strike the note of progress than Dr. Allen. The ladies of the Crescent circle held a very successful rummage sale Tuesday and Wednesday, October 19 and 20. The Economy Shop was rented for the occasion and in addi- tion to making a tidy sum for the use of the circle in promoting the work which they hope to do during the year, they were able to pack a barrel of the best clothing for the use of the children in one of our mountain schools in Tennessee; to send a box of shoes to the Charity Bureau in Chicago, and also made a substantial contribution to the Economy Shop. A new department of Pageantry and Drama has been organized with Mrs. C. £. Douglass as chairman. This department will assist the vari- ous organizations of the church in the work of religious and missionary education, and will seek to develop talent among the young people along lines of play-writing and presenta- tion. Mrs. Douglass is well known among women clubs of Chicago and vicinity for her excellent work along this line. She will have assisting her Mrs. A. J. Coburn who will bring to the assistance of the department her ability as an artist. Plans are now well under way for the presentation of a Pilgrim Page- ant in the near future. ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH The preacher at St. Augustine's Episcopal church next Sunday morn- ing at the 11 o'clock service will be the Very Rev. Charles L. Street, acting dean of the cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, Chicago. Dr. Carle- ton, the rector cf St. Augustine's j church will be the preacher at the I cathedral while the dean is in Wil- mette. The clergy of the cathedral which js the head church of the diocese of Chicago, have for years been conducting a splendid work not only among their own immediate congregation but on a large scale among the unfortunate in the part of the city in which the cathedral is situated, and the visit of the dean to Wilmette is looked forward to with great interest, ' The vestry of St. Augustine's have recently changed their monthly meetings to fortnightly meetings for at least a few months. The next meeting of the vestry will be held on Sunday afternoon, October 31, at 5 o'clock in the rector's study. The vestry as the appointed leaders of the congregation, are summoning the men of the church to their aid to carry on a campaign whose ob- ject it will be to bring together the men of St. Augustine's as a working body. It is especially planned to awaken the interest and secure the co-operation of the more loosely at- tached Episcopalians who have not yet been set at work for the church. The members of the vestry are Mr. P. M. Bingham, senior warden; Mr. G. W. Springer, junior warden; Messrs. G. J. Phillips, Frank J. Baker, G. E. White, and H. B. Wil- son, with Mr. Ford Jones as treasur- er and Mr. Burt A. Crowe as clerk of the vestry. The rector is giving a series of talks on Sunday mornings on the general subject of membership in the church. These talks are intend- ed to be preparatory for confirma- tion when the Bishop visits St. Au- gustine's, December* 19. Last Sunday's talk was on the subject of the his- tory of the church. Tracing the his- tory of the Episcopalian church back through the church of England, and through the ancient British church of the second • to eighth centuries, before the landing of St. Augustine, back to the church of the Apostles in Jerusalem. Different interesting facts were cited to show the ab- surdity of the statement so prevalent In this country among those not familiar with the question, that the church of England stated at the re- formation and in the time of Henry VIII. He deplored the inaccuracies in school histories and other places and urged a more careful reading of church history in order that the true facts of the church's heritage and history might be known. BAPTIST CHURCH After many rehearsals and almost feverish work, the musical opera "Miss Bob White" was presented at the Woman's club on Wednesday and Thursday evenings to large audiences. The whole of the large cast acquitted themselves most creditably and the performance was greatly enjoyed by all Wilmette peo- ple who attended. Much credit is due to Miss Wflcox, representing the Rogers Producing company,' for her painstaking efforts in training the local cast. During her two weeks stay in Wilmette she made many friends who hope to see her return sometime in the future. Too much praise also cannot be given to the women of the Associat- ed Guilds, especially the chairmen of the different committees, all those who acted as chaperones of the vari- ous groups as well as to the members of the cast themselves, especially those outside the congregation of St. Augustine's who gladly gave their help, and also to .all others who took part. For many years the Woman's Am- erican Baptist Home Missions socie- ty has conducted what is known as the Fireside School for negro girls in the old south. This work is to be presented by Mrs. John Chapman, of the Home Missions society at the November meeting of the Woman's society of the Baptist church, which is to be held on Friday, November 5, at the home of Mrs. W. M. Burns, 727 Laurel avenue. This meeting falls in the midst of a week which has been set apart by the Woman's societies of all the Baptist churches of the north as membership week, in which an earn- est endeavor is to be made to secure the allegiance of every Baptist wom- an to the organized work of the so- cieties in the various churches. The campaign of this nature will be car- ried on in the local church through- out the coming* week. On Sunday morning Rev. Francis C. Stifler, pastor of the church, will give the last of his series of five sermons on "Great Men of the Bible, and Their Message for Our Times", speaking on "Paul, the Man Who Evangelized His Race". On Wednesday evening, November 3, the mid-week meeting of the church will be addressed by Mrs. John Wilberforce Stoughton, one of a member of the faculty of the North the new residents of our village and Shore Country Day school. Mrs. Stoughton was in Europe when the war broke out and has revisited many sections of the stricken countries of central Europe since the war and will speak of the condition of the Protestant churches in those lands. The church is fortunate to have se- cured Mrs. Stoughton, who since her return from Europe has been in con- stant demand as a speaker. The Senior Young People's society will hold a Harvest Home social on Friday evening, November 5, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Beach, 1227 Ashland avenue. «â- * In spite of prohibitive weather last Tuesday evening the largest group that have ever attended a social af- fair of the church met in overalls and aprons for a Hallowe'en party at the barn of the Tornado Tavern on Chestnut avenue and Sheridan- road. Mr. Fred A. Miller, the prop- rietor of the tavern, donated the use of the barn and grounds. Most elaborate decorations made the sett- ing very attractive. A program of games kept the crowd in motion and laughter throughout the whole even- ing. â-  • METHODIST CHURCH The Annual Harvest Home dinner in the Methodist church Friday even- ing, October 22, proved a most enjoy- able affair. The number that desired to attend was greater than the ac- commodations would permit, and the women were compelled, very regret- fully, to decline some eleventh-hour reservations. Dr. Rapp spoke in a happy strain appropriate to the oc- casion. Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Watson, of Hubbard Woods, each gave several vocal and musical numbers that were appropriate and charming. Mrs. Matthews, of Chicago, give a number of readings in a manner that evi- denced a fund of natural ability as an elocutionist, a,nd( the toastmaster tried to make the people see some connection between his stories and the points he tried to make. The pro-, verbial ministerial chicken appeti e was confirmed by the presence of no less than four Methodist ministers, who were recognized, and there may (Continued on page 12) GOTO CHURCH SUNDAY The Church Needs Your Presence As Well As Your Presents QOME folks, who willingly and generously contrib- ^ ute of their financial resources to the support of the physical mainte- nance and bperating expenses of their Church, do not, however, lend to it the helpfulness of their presence. They do not seem to have sensed that the Church is in vastly greater need of their personal influence. Of what avail is an imposing edifice, an earnest pastor and ample working funds if there be lacking in church attendance those to employ these moral resources to their fullest?
