METHODIST CHURCH The Young Woman's Missionary- society cleared between thirty and thirty-five dollars on their entertain- ment last Friday evening. The pro- gram was interesting and instructive, and showed care in its preparation. Mr. Bickham now has two organ- ized districts to show for his promo- tion work. The district on the west side was organized last week and one on the east side districts was organ- ized this week. The territory that rightly belongs to the Wilmette Methodist church has in it about twenty thousand people and when the work is completed there will be about fifteen organized districts with some one officially responsible for every Methodist in the parish. The Union Thanksgiving service which has become an annual affair with the five protestant churches of Wilmette, was held Wednesday even- ing at the Methodist church and was well attended. Dr. Magill of the Presbyterian church, preached the Thanksgiving sermon and the Meth- odist chorus choir furnished the music. Dr. Rapp spoke ou "Life Invest- ments" at the Epworth league meet- ing Sunday evening. At a business session, following the regular meet- ing, Mr. Ralph English was elected treasurer of the league. Mr. Ben Cox will speak at the Ep- worth league meeting next Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, on, "Un-Chris- tian America: A Menace and a Challenge". You are invited. Mrs. Sarah Hooper, who lives at 923 Linden avenue, was received into membership last Sunday. Mr. C. M. Clay and his sister, Mrs. Lynne The subject for Dr. Rapp's sermon next Sunday morning, November 28, is, "The Pilgrims." December 5 will be Communion Sunday. BAPTIST CHURCH The Presbyterian church has very generously loaned the use of its building for the November Social Night of the church, Tuesday, No- vember 30. The committee in charge has styled the affair a "One Hundred and Two party." Decorations, games, refreshments and costumes all will be reminiscent of the landing in November, 1620, of the 102 Pil- grims. More than 102 persons are expected to be there, but the first 102 to arrive upon the scene of the fes- tivity will be the recipients of special honors. The program will com- mence at 8 o'clock. The Baptists trace their beginning in this country to the person of Roger Williams, who was excluded from the Salem Colony somewhat less than 300 years ago and began the settlement of Rhode Island. As part of the Tcr-Centenary Celebration Mr. Stifler will speak on Sunday morn- ing on the theme, "Roger Williamsâ€" Puritan." * December 12 has been set aside by the church for the laying of the cornerstone of the new edifice which is steadily raising above the ground on the beautifully wooded site at Forest and Wilmette avenues. _ The services, for the most part, will be held at the time of the regular wor- ship in Brown hall, the congregation adjourning at noon for the brief Complete details will be given later. "Young People's Day" will be ob- served on Sunday, December 5. ceremonies at the church edifice. Visiting delegations fr&m neighbor- ing colleges aiTd schools will attend the morning services, where Mr. Stifler will speak on the theme, "Real Life." The Senior Young People'* society will be addressed at their twi- light meeting by "Dad" Elliott, of the Student Y. M. C. A. movement. Mr. Ed Wright of the Chicago Daily News lecture bureau, accom- panied by the McCormick Theolog- ical Seminary quartet, of which he is a member, will be the speaker at the mid-week services, December 1. This is the second time that Mr. Wright and his singers have visited the church and the occasion is antic- ipated with great pleasure. Mr. Wright will speak on "Our Responsi- bilities to the Near East." The December meeting of the Woman's society will be held on Fri- day, December 3, with Mrs. E. A. Beach, 1114 Ashland avenue. Lunch- eon will be served at 12:30 o'clock. The speaker of the afternoon will be Mrs. S. M. Duyzers, representing the Christian Mission to Isreal. Tonight at 8 o'clock the Workers' Cabinet of the Bible school will meet with Mr. and Mrs. Bowen, 1215 Elm- wood avenue. Seventy-six per cent of the attendance of the school were in their places before the opening bell last Sunday, as a result of a stir- ring campaign for promptness now in progress. ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH The Father and Son banquet held at St. Augustine's on Tuesday even- ing was a great success, The fathers of the boys attended in large num- bers, in each case bringing their boys with them. In cases where men had no boys to bring they acted as hosts to other boys so that the boys of the parish were really- the guests of the evening. The constituency of boys, among whom St. Augustine works, especially through the church school, has been rapidly growing and it was fortunate that there were enough men to fill the bill as hosts. After a most appetizing chicken dinner, served by Mrs. Maddock and her assistants, the rector, who pre- sided, briefly outlined some of the things St. Augustine is doing for the boys. He was followed by Mr. A. J. (Dad) Elliott, who, in a live and in- spiring address, urged the boys to set before themselves the very highest ideals and determine to live up to them, being faithful to the church and using all the means accorded by the church to live straight and be of some use in the world. Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd, pastor of the Congrega- tional church, followed with a most helpful talk, especially to the fathers, seeking to draw out their co-opera- tion in what is being done for the boys and pointing out the seriousness of their responsibility The banquet marked a new step forward in devel- oping the interest and friendship of the men of St Augustine's toward the boys. The Ladies' Guild will meet for an all-day session on Friday, beginning at 9:30. There is much work to do in preparation for the sale, which is to be held later. There will be a simple luncheon served at noon for those who find it impossible to stay throughout the day. The Girls' Choir of St. Augustine held a candy sale in the parish house on Wednesday, when considerable quantities of candy, intended to be consumed largely at Thanksgiving feasts, were sold. All the candy was made by the men themselves. They are using the proceeds from -the sale to purchase a new supply of music, anthems, Christmas carols and the like. There were two Thanksgiving ser- vices at St. Augustine's, the holy communion being celebrated at 8 o'clock, which was followed by a sec- ond service at 10. Mr. Joseph C. Comfort, an adver- tising man, has been chosen to repre- sent St. Augustine on the joint com- mittee, which has under its charge the advertising campaign carried on by the different churches in the vil- lage. The regular meeting of the vestry of St. Augustine will be held in the rector's office, Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock. So helpful was the recent dinner of the men of the parish to discuss parish affairs and develop the work of the church among men, especially new arrivals, that a similar dinner is under way for Tuesday evening, No- vember 30, in the parish house. The speaker on the morning of Sunday, December 5, at St. Augus- tine's, will be Mr. George K. Gibson, who acted last year as head of the nation-wide campaign in the diocese of Chicago. Dr. Charles E.

"So the first fundamental of prosperity is * integrity. Without it there is no civiliza- tion, there is no peace, there is no security! there is no safety. Mind you also that this applies just as much to the man who is working for wages as to the capitalist and every owner of property." (Roger FT. Babson, President Babson Statistical Organization. Integrity is inseparable from Truth. We think of the man of integrity as one who seeks after and dispenses truth. The Church is the outstanding example of an institution of integrity. Is there anything more worth while than affiliation with and regular attendance upon such an institution?
