FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28>1923 »»«â- " g|g CHURCH HONORS EDWIN PHELPS Named General Secretary of Young People's Union of Baptist Convention GIVES UP LAW WORK Was One of Founders of Wilmette Baptist Church ^ One of the highest offices in the Bap- tist denomination was given Edwin Phelps, 260 Wood court, outstanding leader in young people's religious work, when the Executive committe of its Board of Managers appointed him gen- eral secretary <ri the "Young People's Baptist Union. Mr. Phelps, in addition to being prom- inently identified with young people's ac- tivities in the Wilmette Baptist church, has been a lecturer at Lake Geneva and other young people's conferences and is recognized, generally, as one of the fore- most workers in the entire United States in that field of religious endeavor. Interested in Young People For several years, states a Baptist publication, Mr. Phelps has taken an in- terest on Baptist Young People's ac- tivities. He was^hosen treasurer of the City Union in Chicago in 1909, and in 1910 began a very successful work as publicity chairman for the Chicago Union. During four of those years he edited a paper known as "The B.' Y. P. -JJi Monthly." He .was introduced to Baptist Conven- tion Work as transportation manager for the Toledo convention. He has attended every convention since 1912 except the Cedar Rapids and St. Louis conventions in 191o* and 1919 and the Boston con- vention this year. He was chairman of j_ihe_ Arrangemeats-committee-f or- the Chiâ€" cago convention" in 1916. In Chicago, for many years, he has been affectionate- ly known in B. Y. P. tL circles as "Pa" â€"Phelps. He has served three years, 1918-1919, as president of the Chicago City Union and has been a member of the Executive committee of the B. Y. â-  â- -'-P. U. of A. eight'year^^W^aW^-MM" it has been the custom of the Illinois "Oskawawas," made up of those who at- tended B. Y. P. U. conventions, to spend Labor Day at his home where the spaci- ous yard offers_a__picnic ground for a hundred people. For-the i«st it^^*y^r0^!l0^^^p^ has given himself to Young People's Assembly Work in Illinois and Indiana, where he has offered courses in B. Y, P* U. metljods^ and in leadership, and has conducted a clinic in B. Y. P. U. Work. He has also lectured on Young People's Work at the Institutes held at the Northern Baptist Seminary, Chi- cago. â- â- ' /""""; ••-""â- ' Sponsors Local Work Phelps* has always given to it. For five successive years, the society attained the Standard of Excellence. For the past four years/three societies of Junior, In- termediate and Senior Grade have been maintained; and in the past seven years, six young people including Mr. Phelps, himself, "have declared their intention, and shaped their plans for entering full- time Christian service. "For the past six years," the article concludes, "Mr. Phelps has been giving himself a liberal education in the field of Literature and Religious Education and has assembled some very valuable material for his lectures on organization and methods of Young People's work. He has been, throughout his whole Christian life, a man of three interests, his family, his law-practice, and Baptist young people. He now drops one to give more time to that other that has con- stantly been growing in his heart. There is possibly no man on the American con- tinent more practically conversant with the task he assumes than Mr. Phelps. Our young people will find in him, one who really understands them, and is able to offer them a vigorous leadership." Prominent Lawyer Mr. Phelps has been for several years prominent in the field of law. He at- tended Tulane university, New Orleans, for a year, studied engineering at Lewis Institute, identified himself with the law firm of Rummler and Rummler, Patent attorneys in Chicago, graduating from Chicago Kent College of Law with the degree of L. L. B., and entering the firm as a partner. His law practice has taken him to all parts of the country. Mr. Phelps was one of the founders of the Wilmette Baptist church and, since its organization in 1913 has served as deacon, later also becoming superin- tendent of the Sunday school.

Clark Street - Phone d^Jtdmore 1780 SCANDAL? NO, ONLY INITIATION CEREMONY Visitors at the National Kinder- garten and Elementary college, as well as many of the instructors, have spoken of the very unbecoming mode of hairdress adopted by; the Fresh- men. Slick hair and protruding ears are unusual sights, but initiation, not style, is to blame. In spite of this and other decrees to which the freshman are submitting, the students held a... "Get-together" party last Friday evening, at which the various classes furnished the en- tertainment. The Freshmen, with green bows and short frocks, demonstrated by their behaviour that their observation of the action and reaction of chil- dren in varied situations has not been wasted. Next the Juniors presented a unique radio program, with a divid- ed stage which s.howed both the enter- tainers and the audience. One feature of their program was a -Bed Time story based on the adventures of Chicken Little, telling now President Baker led the students to a new col- lege on the north shoreâ€""and they never came out again." Last but not least was the Senior Circus, with clowns, giraffes, monkeys, elephants and a silk-hatted ringmas- ter. The program ended with pop- corn balls and an impromptu dance. ^GOITRE CAUSED |11 Health, Nervousness* - Smother- ins; and Throbbing; Relieved. Feel Like A New Person* Says Mrs. McKce.
