IEditor, WILx<Vm LIPE: As. pastor of the church that bap.. pens to act as host to the Sunday Evening club, I wish.to publicly apolo- gize to China and the Chinese people for tbé injustice done tbem by a re- cent speaker wbose caricature of:tbeir intelligence-and character had:ail the. appearance ôf'a studied misrepreseni- taion and distortio.n. I arn repeatedly asked why such speakers are permit'ted to holà forth, under our apparent auspices. The an- swer is that we secure our- lecturers long in advance. and. do not always know their special emphasis. It bas, been the policy of the club flot to muzzle or muffle its speakers, but to let-themn speak out, whiat-,is 'i their minds and on their hearts in the in- terests of fairness and instruction. It often happens that. opinions are expressed. andý positions are taken f romn which the participating churches cordially and vigorously dissent and wýe are, neyer responsibl for the views expressed. I We hope that we shall have a speaker in the future who will inter- pret China with honest understand- ing and witbout prejudice or profes- sional interest, as we bave had in the past. We~ further regret and deplore that a speaker with such an obviously ex- Atreine view did not carry out our forum plan and give an opportunity for question, challenge and discussion in accordance with the club tradition.I Congregationailflhurch APPRkECIATION February,9, 1935 To the children of Wilmçtte: The Jack and Jili Players.have cri- joyed giving their .plays in Wilmette very mucb. It bas been so nice te play. te appreciative and interested audiences. During ".Uncle Tom's Cabin," "Rag- gedy Ann in Cooky Land " and "Walk the Plank," it seemed as though'every laugh or, every sorrowr was under- stoodý immediately., Both children and aduits responided to ail the vary- ing emotions portrayed ini the plays. The behavior- of the.young people before and after the plays and during the Intermission is also to be com- niended. They were always se welI- behaved and so, mannerty. The PlJayer re ~se glagl tha4 ttey are goiiig to have another opportunity to play for the young people of WiI- mette on Saturday afternoon, March 9, at 2 o'clock in the club house of the Woman's Club of Wilmette.
