$"T" â-  p"$^-$fyJi$$&fr; m THELAi^^ ttouncemoit jHUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHNIUHHMHNWHHMMI METHODIST CHURCH Thursday was Missionary Day in the church. The Foreign society had its session in the morning and the Home society during the afternoon. The time between the sessions was giving to sewing for worthy causes. Lunch was served in the church. The Methodists west of the rail- road to Ridge road and between Wil- mette and Lake avenues, were organ- ized as "Area Number Four" at a meeting held at the home of Mr. Kelly, 629 Park avenue, Thursday evening. After the debaters had presented their arguments at the Epworth League meeting Sunday evening on the subject, "Resolved!, that Epworth League should be disbanded," the audience decided in favor of the neg- ative. The subject for Dr. Rapp's sermon Sunday morning, December 12, will be "Broken Cisterns." The service will be dismissed in time to permit attendance at the Baptist corner- stone-laying service at 12:20 o'clock. Sunday night, December 12, will be girls' night at the Epworth League meeting. The boys and men are asked to come, keep quiet and nay attention; the girls will do the rest. This promises to be a most interest- ing meeting. The boys will have their turn a little later. The Sunday school Christmas offer- ing this year will go to Lake Bluff Orphanage and to the starving chil- dren of Europe. It is understood that the offering to Lake Bluff Or- phanage is to be fifty dollars in ex- cess of the largest cash offering the Wilmette Methodist Sunday school has ever given and the balance of the money raised goes to the children of Europe. Unless the carpenter work is pre- vented by bad weather, the Metho- dist parsonage will have a new roof within a week. The committee is anxious to keep the new preacher's sermons dry. The second division served lunch- eon to more people last Thursday than have been served on any Ladies' Aid day during the past five years. The fancy goods and bakery sales were well patronized. Remember: That Dr. Rapp teaches the Men's Bible class every Sunday morning at 9:45 o'clock. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH The Woman's Guild will hold its December meeting at the church to- day. The meeting will open with a luncheon at 1 o'clock, reservations for which should be sent to Mrs. Bower, and following the luncheon a program in charge of the Missionary committee will be given. Mrs. D. M. Gallie, as chairman of that commit- tee, ill introduce as the speaker of the day. Mrs. Morton Jones from Demarest, Georgia, who is the West- ern representative of Piedmont coll- ege. There will be three minute re- ports from each member of the com- mittee The members of the Explorer's club are extremely grateful to Mr. F. L. S. Harman, Mr. Dwight Harris and Laurence Roth for making their trip to the Horse Show possible last Sat- urday, and also to Joseph Howard who went with them to conduct the party. It is a trip that will be remem- bered by ail who were able to go. No trip will be taken this week, but a business meeting will be held at the church this afternoon at 3:45 o'clock sharp. g:o"^;"/"S>? ^^.M^M-^^^m Sunday morning, December 12, Mr. Lloyd, pastor, will preach on the sub- ject. "The Power of Motive" a sermon on the approach of the New Year. Many people f.peak of the value of motives but few realize the amount of power they possess. It *will be interesting at this pre-New Year time to hear what Mr. Lloyd has to say, that our motives may be better and stronger. The second Church School night, the evening set aside for the benefit of teachers and parents, will be held next Wednesday, December 15. The programs for these meetings are in the hands of the Commission on Religious Education a committee which is con- stantly thinking of and planning helpful occasions for the spiritual training of the children of the church. The training of teachers, that they may better help in the training of the children, is one of its vital problems. Miss Bertha Wheelock, chafrman of the commission and Superintend- ent of the Primary department, holds a meeting of the teachers of her de- partment, which is opened in n supper, early in the evening. The firbi twe meetings of that group were very successful both in the number attend- ing pnti the interest shown by those present, and also in the material given b> Miss Wheelock and the sec- tion heads. At this meeting the btudy ol story telling will begin and the "Structure of the Story" will be the special point for the evening dis- cussion. Only teachers and officers of that department take part in this meeting. The Teacher Training class, better known as the Lectures on Child Psychology, begin at 7:45 o'clock. The subject of the lecture will be "Adventuring Into the Unknown", a discussion of the life of the child be- tween the ages of six and nine. It is natural for teachers of children of the age of twelve or thirteen to at- tend only the lectures specifically concerned with children of that age, but, as Mr. Lloyd stated at the first meeting, "No one can say that every child does such and such a thing at the day of his twelfth birthday. No two children are alike, but all have some things in common. It is necess- ary that teachers know something of what has gone on before and also of what he is to face in the future, if he cares really to help in the training of his class. The whole course should be taken. After the lecture, which will close at 8:45 o'clock, sharp, the officers of the school will adjourn to a business meeting to be held in the church parlors. This will be one of the most important meetings of the year and staff. If it is not possible to attend should be attended by the entire the entire program make a point of being their in time for this meeting. ST. AUGUSTINE'S PARISH On Sunday morning St. Augustine's parish will consecrate a bronze Me- morial tablet which has been placed on the inner wall of the church near the Lecturn. Details of the cere- monies appear on the first page of this issue of The Lake Shore News. The speaker last Sunday morning at St. Augustine's was Mr. George K. Gibson, a prominent Chicago busi- ness man. There was a large con- gregation present. Mr. Gibson dis- cussed the lowered moral tone evi- dent in different quarters, especially in business, and said that more re- ligion was the only solution. Not all the soldiers or police or laws or schools would save the country, but the churches and the divine princi- ples for which they stood. The Bishop of Chicago, Rt. Rev. Charles P. Anderson, will give an address at St. Augustine's on Sunday evening, December 19, at & o'clock, and will administer the rite of Con- firmation to those who have been preparing for several weeks. This service will be open to al). Next Sunday evening, December 14, at 8 o'clock, the officers and teachers of St. Augustine's Church Sunday school will attend in a body the meeting of the North Shore In- stitute at Trinity Parish house. High- land Park, of which institute the rector of St. Augustine's is president. There will be an address by Rev. C. M. Andrews of St. Timothy's church, Chicago, one of the leaders in the forward movement in the Dio- cese of Chicago for improving the methods and religious education. The annual canvass for the parish and for the church at large will be held nevt Sunday afternoon, Decem- ber 12. There are eleven captains of teams and the parish has been divid- ed into eleven districts. As the work of the church has been rapidly grow- ing during the year the budget for the coming year will be larger, and it is planned to raise in pledges the additional funds necessary to provide for a still further increase in the work during the coming year as well as to support liberally the work of- the church in the Diocese of Chicago and in the world at large. "3„ A library of books, especially for the use of Sunday school teachers is being formed at St. Augustine's for all interested in religious education. At a recent meeting of the vestry ; of St. Augustine's, (Mr, H. B. Wilson was elected a vestryman in the place of Mr. Wm. D. Hurd who has re- moved from Wilmette to Washing- ton. -r'Xf^Zyf: : ^^-^W'^mM-m"^- St. Augustine's church Sunday school is still increasing rapidly, last Sunday's attendance being twelve pupils more .than the previous record attendance. It is possible that tem- porary quarters may have to be erected within the next few weeks to house some of the larger classes. In proportion to its membership St. Augustine's now has the largest Sun- day school in the Diocese of Chicago. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Rev. George W. Roberts, pas- tor of the Lake Forest Presbyterian church, Afill preach at the Wilmette Presbyterian church Sunday morn- ing, December 12.

SCHAEFER Hgg« 1501 Washington Ave., Wilmette Telephone Wilmette 969-W Go To Church Sunda Morality, like money, is an excellent acqui- sition. But it is not sufficient merely to be good any more than to be rich. One must do good as well as be good. There are morality misers as well as money misers. Just as some folks withold money from cir- culationâ€"away from its field of usefulnessâ€" and count themselves as rich, so do other folks content themselves with the mere possession of morality, instead of putting their right-living into service. Money has, in banking institutions, the logical reservoirs for its storage, and channels for its distribution into needing fields of use- fulness. And also, in church •institutions, morality has its established reservoirs and channels for intelligent, directed, concerted usefulness. Alone, unaided, one maris money capital may suffice for little more than the mainten^ ance of self and family. Alone, unsupported, one man's morality may suffice merely for his own right-living. But the money capital of many men, merged in banks, promotes huge enterprises. And the morality of many men, united in their chosen Church; promotes the right-living of a whole community. Put your morality into circulation, by banking it in one of IVilmettes Churches every Sundayand your investment will serve the community and be repaid with compound interest.
