L`SNDLPX, CAPTAIN HINDI,EY SAYS - People in Western Canada Drive Twenty Miles to Hear the Chautauqua Program. Wben seen at his home in Winni- peg, after completing a lecture tour of over sixty Chautauqua towns in the Prairie Provinces and British Colombia, Capt, W. J. Iiindley, who is soon to appear here on our Chau- tauqua Festival program, said: "iffy work on the Dominion Chau- tauquas has been a revelation to me. They not only fill a unique place in the life of a people in time ofwar, but they have shown how absolutely necessary it is for our people to keep up normal programs of social and intellectual activity, and they have helped meet the wear and tear of these nerve-racking times, "We have just completed our tour of sixty Chautauqua Festivals through Alberta, Saskatcbewan and British Columbia, and in every town but twelve we were compelled to give double programs in the evening to ac- commodate the crowds. When I tell you that without an exception every one of those sixty towns re -contract- ed for the return of the Festival in 1918, you can see how our programs must have tilled a real need in the lives of these splendid people who for three and a half years have been bearing the fearful load of war anx- iety. Really it was a privilege to give our programs to audiences that were so appreciative and so enthus- iastic. Many of these people drove over twenty miles to attend the Fes- tivals. In the little town of Moss- bank, Saskatchewan, one old couple, over sixty years old, drove seventeen miles with an, old .family horse and buggy to attend our day, "Our people are fust beginning to appreciate the truth of 'President Wilson's message to Chautauqua workers when he said: 'The Chau- tauqua has become almost as inte- gral a part of the national defence as teen and munitions.' "In a general way we help to align our audiences back of all our great Government activities, uniting them for the final tests of service which we expect this year to bring to thee(' allied countries culminating in the long-delayed but now certain victory, which will mean the crushing for- ever of the hideous policies of a war - maddened autocracy, "Altogether, 1 regard the Chautau- qua as presenting a real ministry to the spirit of the people in times of war, and feel that 1 am doing my bit on the Chautauqua platform, just as truly as though I were on the list of national speakers working distinc- tively on war programs, in many towns returned soldiers have said to me, after hearing me regret that I was not permitted to go to France with my reghnent, 'Capt. llindley, you are really doing more good for our cause with your message to our people here at home than you could have done in France.' So I am grateful for the broad, free platform of the Chautauqua, where I can speak my mind and message without any restrictions or compromise. I re- gard the Chautauqua as the broad- est and freest field for any publio speaker to -day," Capt. Ilindley will lecture here on "National Service," and all may ex- pect a stirring message, particularly pertinent to the time, SAMUEL W. G}ARTEL WELL, PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE. To the Ioternational Chautauqua Association Dec. 14th, "Let me express the hope that you will let no discouragement weakeo your activitiee, and that the people will not fall in the support of a patriotic institution that may be said I to be an integral part of 0,4 Lai *UMW clap. ae,'! l ••••••000.00000•♦000.0•••0 4000♦00000•0400+600.044♦040• 0 • • • • • Goverment o Mulic pi panda 1'it Idinj;' 5,1 to (4 iter o nt • i ••• • •• •• • 0 • s `victory Loan at Par less J!, Discount Z • • • • • • • • • Gj per cent instead of 3 per cent ? •• 0 a • • • • o• • • Temple Building - - Toronto •• • • ® R.
