THE LAKE SHORE MEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1920 BAPTIST CHURCH which confront the people there, who are again without a pastor. Mr. Stifler served this church from 1913 to 1917. Rev. Andrew H. Harnly, D. D., will be the preacher at the services Sun- day morning, November 14. Rev. Harnly is a member of the local church, and has for some years been lecturing on the Chatauqua platform. He has held many import- ant positions in the Baptist work in Illinois and was for several years pastor of the Great church in Austin. Dr. Harnly's theme will be "The Call for Men." An interesting innovation, which worked wonders in the spirit of the Bible school last Sunday morning, was the presentation of a paper badge to every member of the school who arrived before the open- ing minute of the school session. A badge of this sort, with varying tints, will be given each Sunday morning for the present quarter and rewards will be made to all members of the school who have been prompt in their attendance in ten out of the thirteen Sundays of the quarter. A special committee on religious education has been appointed by the Bible school cabinet. Miss Beatrice Segsworth, who is majoring in re- ligious educaton at Northwestern University, is chairman of this com- mittee. They are to make an exten- sive study of the needs of the school, and of available courses to meet those needs, and it is expected that when the work is completed the school will be, from an educational standpoint, unexcelled in its effici- ency. Rev. Francis C.Stifler, pastor of the church, leaves tonight for Saginaw, Mich., where he was formerly pastor of the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church, to spend Sunday on his former, field, studying the needs METHODIST CHURCH One of the most interesting and im- portant announcements to be made to the membership and friends is that the church now has an all-time janitor. Real church janitors, like poets, are born, not made. We be- lieve that we have one of the born kind. You can no longer excuse yourself from any service on the ground that you were afraid that the church would not be comfortable. At their meeting two weeks ago the Sunday school board appointed M. H. Bickham chariman of the Christmas committee with the sug- gestion that we have an old-fash- ioned Christmas entertainment. Sunday, November 14, will be Woman's Home Missionary day in the church. Dr. C. H. McCrea, as- sistant editor of the Northwestern Christian Advocate, will preach at the thank offering service at 11 o'clock. He has an original message and his delivery is all his own. He is Irish by birth and country but he is not an IRISH-American. In addition to being a local preacher, duly licensed by the quarterly conference of the church, M. H. Bickham is employed by the church in the official capacity of pro- moter of the interests of our denom- ination within the territory coming rightly under the jurisdiction of the Wilmette Methodist church. Chorister Thayer has "started an orchestra in the Sunday school. It is in the mustard seed stage as yet, but keep an eye on our Sunday school orchestra. If you play a fiddle bring it along. If you play any kind of horn, the election-night kind excepted, come and let us hear you toot at 9:45 every Sunday morn- ing. Under the direction of their new chairman of social doings, Mr. Tar- rent, the Epworth League planned a hike, but the wise ones heard the rain coming in the distance and last Sunday evening found them en- joying themselves to the fullest ex- tent with games and refreshments in the church. The refreshment part of the committee served some orig- inal refreshments. The women of the second division were entertained on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. E. G. Bentley, who is chairman of the division. Plans were made for numerous actvities by the division during the winter months. Mrs. Libby Bronson of Long Beach, Cal., has been transferred to membership in our church, and now lives at 631 Washington avenue. Ben N. Cox, formerly a member of our church, has returned with his wife and daughter and lives at 1116 Elm- wood avenue. --------- The women of the first division, of which Mrs. C. A. Lundberg is chair- man, were entertained Monday aft- ernoon, November 8, at the home of Mrs. Edward A. Krocke, 1003 Elm- wood avenue. Mrs. W. C. Reinbold, 1005 Ashland avenue, was hostess to the Young Woman's Missionary Society, Tues- day evening, November 9, when they had their business meeting and an entertaining program. Thursday, November 11, was mis- sionary day in the church. The Home society met in the morning at 11. The women brought their lunches with them and coffee was served at the church. The Foreign society began their program at 1:30 and the day was filled with mission- ary information and enthusiasm, with some sewing between times for a leper home in some foreign country. Anyone having anything that the women can use in their "Rummage Sale," to be held November 18 and 19, is asked to phone Mrs. J. C. Man- nerud, or the chairman of any divi- sion. Beginning this week the Methodist church bell will ring fifteen minutes before the time of each service and at the time when the service begins. The hours when the regular services begin are as follows: Sunday school, 9:45 a. m.; preaching service, 11 a .m.; Epworth League meeting, 6:30 p. m.; Prayer meeting, Wednesday, 8 p. m. /'/<;â- ;•â-  W-Zvv PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH At the request of the Chicago Pres- bytery Dr. George P. Magill has been released for a period of six weeks by the First Presbyterian church to work among the churches of the Presbytery and aid them in reach- ing their quota of the $23,000,000 New Era budget for this year. The Wilmette church early in the year subscribed more than its quota. On Sunday morning, November 7, at 11 o'clock, William Danner of New York, general secretary of the Amer- ican Mission to Lepers (Interdenom- inational), will occupy the pulpit and give his story of the bright side of the work the Protestant church is doing among the lepers. There are at least 2,000,000 lepers in the worFd and not less than 1,000 in the United States. Dr. Danner will tell of the relief afforded by recent treatments. There will be no financial appeal. The woman's society of the First Presbyterian church held its Home Mission Praise services Tuesday, November 9. Mrs. Dean, the speaker, told of the Home Mission work of the Presbyterian church. An-offer- ing brought $128.20. The annex to the Sunday school built last winter for the Beginners' and Primary departments, is being used through the week by the Wil- mette public school pending the erec- tion of the Laurel avenue public school building. The crowded con- dition of the entire church and an- nex on Sunday mornings will neces- sitate early arrangements for addi- tional space to accommodate the Sunday school. - ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH A number of the most interested men of St. Augustine's met at dinner together in the Parish house on Wednesday evening to discuss the work of the parish in general, espec- ially the work among the men* Plans were discussed around the table to develop and extend the acquaintance- ship of the men of the parish, es- pecially those who have come to Wil- mette within the last year. The work of the Nation-Wide campaign also was discussed, as well as plans whereby the members of* the parish might learn more about the work of the church in general through a thorough distribution of the litera- ture of the campaign, v 'if^ffivSpJf, On Monday evening St. Augus- tine's was represented at the dio- cesan meeting of the department of religious education, held at St. Tim- othy's church, Chicago, where plans for establishing training schools for church school teachers throughout the diocese were perfected. The teachers of the church school will soon be called together and informed of these plans when those who choose can then make arrangements to enroll for such institutes as will fit their work. There has been a considerable demand among the teachers of St. Augustine's for such training. Last night at Byron CrSrolp schaur- St. Augustine was well represented by a considerable delegation of mem- bers to hear Mr, McKibben tell of what has been done during the past year in Evanston through the new plan for the religious education of the children attending public schools. The citizens of Evanston have made ' a splendid success of their work dur- ing the first year and are already greatly encouraged with what has been accomplished. Reference was also made to other cities where plans of a similar sort have been carried out successfully. A good many of the church people of Wilmette are considering whether some such plan ought not to be adopted in our village whereby the children, at the expressed desire of their parents, could receive weekly definite religious instructi&n during school hours, for which they would receive credit in their grade just the same as for other subjects, A Father and Son banquet will be held in the Parish house, Tuesday, November 23, to which each man will be expected to bring his own son or someone else's son for the evening. Double tickets, costing $1.50, will admit the man and boy. Men with no boys to bring will be furnished boy guests, whom they can entertain.

I go to church every Sunday morning when I am home. I like to go to church. I wish every man in America would attend church. I wish men would be as interested in churches as they are , in their business.'* ** • â-  . j The First Congregational Church The First Presbyterian Church The First Methodist Church St Augustine's Episcopal Church The Wilmette Baptist Church
