BAPTIST CHURCH The Ter-Centenary of the Landing of the Pilgrims will be observed at the morning services of the Baptist church on November 21 and 28. Next Sunday Mr. Stifler will speak on "Thank God for the Pilgrims", and on November 28 the subject will be "Rogers Williamsâ€"Puritan". "One Hundred and Two" is the ad- vertising slogan of the November Social committee of women. The whole affair is so far enshrouded in mystery but two facts are well es- tablished ; one is that the date of the social is November 30, and the other is that the Presbyterian people have very generously loaned the use of their parlors for the occasion. The Missionary Reading Circle of the Woman's society meets this afternoon with Mrs. Clare C. Hos- mer, 1232 Forest avenue, at 2 o'clock. All members of the society and other women of the congregation and their friends are invited to attend, and are asked to bring thimbles, scissors and needles. ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH Great preparations are being made at St. Augustine's for the Father and Son banquet to be held at the Par- ish house next Tuesday evening, November 23. It will begin at the somewhat early hour of 6:15 o'clock in order that the many boys attend- ing will not get home too late. Every man attending is expected to bring a boy, his own son, or if he has none, someone else's boy. Each ticket is double and will cost $1.50. Men presenting ^themselves without boys will be furnished with boys as their guests. Any man therefore can at- tend. Short addresses will be given by Rev. Stephen A. Lloyd, pastor of the Congregational church, and by Arthur J. (Dad) Elliott. St. Au- gustine's in its work among boys seeks the fullest co-operation of the parents, and this banquet is being held to develop this feeling. The meeting of teachers and offi- cers of the north shore church schools held at St. Augustine's Wed- nesday evening proved to be a great success. There were deputations from Evanston and from the different towns and villages up to the Wiscon- sin state line. Plans for the forma- tion of a systematic Church School Teachers'institute, meeting monthly, were decided upon and the most help- ful form of programs discussed. All the church schools reported success- ful work and the results of the In- stitute this winter are sure to prove of great advantage to all the church schools concerned. The recent Men's dinner at St. Augustine's was such a great success that those present have asked for another held along the same tines. The first one was summoned too hurriedly to give all who wished an opportunity to attend. In all prob- ability the next Men's dinner will be held Tuesday evening, November 30, of which due notice will be given. Last Sunday morning at St. A«- gustine's the regular Morning Prayer service was held at 9 o'clock, following the early Communion ser- vice at 8 o'clock. At the 11 o'clock service, which was very largely at- tended, there was a public Baptism of infants, boys and girls, and one adult. The rector gave an address on baptism, outlining the teaching of the church, showing that baptism in the Episcopal church always ad- mits to full church membership. Di- rections were given to the congre- gation as how to baptize any one in an emergency, when a clergyman could not be procured. Confirmation classes are being held regularly for boys and girls at 5 o'clock on Sunday afternoons. There will be an extra introductory class next Sunday at 4:15 o'clock and on next Sunday there will be held in the rector's study at 8 o'clock, the first of a series of talks for adults on church membership. The Woman's Guild wilt meet for work all day today beginning at 10 o'clock, with a light informal lunch- eon at noon. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The sermon next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. Charles Ryan Adams. Sub- ject, "The Immediate Responsibility of the Church". Dr. Adams is secre- tary of the New Era Movement for the Central district and this will be the first time he has spoken in Wil- mette. * Ever since the organization of the church in 1911, is has been the cus- tom to hold a sunrise prayer service on Thanksgiving morning. The ser- vice begins promptly at 7:30 o'clock and when it closes at 8 o'clock the Business Men's class serves break- fast consisting of rolls, doughnuts and coffee. The attendance in former years has been from 125 to 150. At the Business Men's class next Sunday at 10 o'clock the subject will be, "Jesus' Teachings Regarding the State". Some of the questions pro- pounded for discussion are: 1. Why did the conditions of Jesus' day tend to prevent his public discussion of political questions?. 2. What justification is there in, the statement that Jesus was the most thoroughgoing champion of demo- cracy that the world has yet seen? 3. Compare his democracy with that of Plato. 4. Why did Jesus openly attack the high priests by cleaning the temple of the bazaars which they had estab- lished there? 5. What his act hasty and rash, or was it deliberate and jjustified? Give your reasons. 6. What did Jesus mean by his command to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's? 7. Why did the Pharisees bring the woman convicted of adultery before Jesus, and why did they silently slip away when he refused to condemn her? 8. What principles did he estab- lish in his treatment of this typical case? 9. How far is modern society, through honor and parole systems, juvenile courts, and mutual welfare leagues, adopting and applying the methods of Jesus in dealing with the delinquent and the criminal? 10. How do you harmonize Jesus' attack upon the high priests and Pharisees with, his refusal to use force in his own defense? 11. How far are nations under ob- ligation to apply in their internation- al relations the same'moral principles that men accept in private life? 12. Are our modern police systems and an international league to en- force peace in keeping with Jesus' teachings? Give your reasons. 13. Is war ever justifiable, and if; so, under what conditions? 14. What is Jesus' method of put-! ting an end to war, and is it prac- ticable? ; ?W:;vv-v 'tS-^lfesSr •. . * CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The morning service on this pre-f Thanksgiving Sunday, will be a ser--; vice of "Thanks". Special music m planned for the occasion and Rev.| Lloyd will preach a fitting sermon on the subject, "In the Name of God, Amen." The Church school is planning to carry out the idea of "Giving Thanks" through all departments and class- es. (Notice, Juniors! You will feel rather sstd on Sunday morning if you -find yourself at Sunday school and your Thanksgiving donations- forgottenâ€"especially if you' are the only one). The Adult class, of which Mr. David Caldwell is the leader, will take as their subject for discussion, "The Pioneer Influence on the Na- tion's Ideals", a very fitting subject for this day and year. This class is rapidly growing, for they seem to have the "Bring the Friend" habit. After each new members first Sunday! in the class, they enthusiastically bring another new member. It is very easy to see that if it increases, in the future in proportion to the in-* crease since its beginning, it will not be long before it will be too large for one man to handle. The December Church Night din- ner will be held Wednesday, Decem- ber 1. The program for the evening will be a celebration of the Pilgrim Tercentenary in the form of tableaux, given by members of the church under the leadership of Mrs. C. E. Douglass. They will portray the Pilgrims before their trip to Amer- icaâ€"America before the arrival of the Pilgrimsâ€"the landing of the Pilgrimsâ€"the courtship of Miles Standishâ€" and many other interest- ing scenes. The dinner will be serv- ed by the members of the North End circle; and will be a real Turkey din- ner. Price of dinner, sixty cents. Reservations should go to the chair- men .of the various circles at once, for it is planned at this dinner that the circles will not call,â€" anyone wanting tickets will have to call the chairmen of their circle, or Mrs. J. W. Cullen, phone Wilmette 653. Go To Church Sunda A Message to Boys and Girls: #TT A NY boy or girl who expects to ^j] /\ go to College ought to be glad to go to Church. The Church has always been, and forever will be the best friend that boys and girls have. <JThey should know that the first Colleges were started by Ministers of the Church. Harvard was founded by John Har- vard, a Christian Minister. The second College, William and Mary, was founded by a preacher, and Yale by a group of them. Amherst, Dart- mouth and scores of others were founded by Church-folk and, for many, many years were supported by contributions from the Churches. % flfMore than half the students in Uni- versities, Colleges and Academies areinChurch- supported institutions. CjBoys and girls who attend Church lend the power of their personal influence through the Church to those institutions of learning which later will return their invest- ment with compounded interest.
