The arbitrament of war was some- thing we shrank from in horrorafter our experiences in the world war of, 19x4-18, and its futility was also "dem- onstrated, and we were learning that there was a better way, in which the two great streams of English-speak- ing;peoples, standing side by side, haxl, a nighty destiny to work out. Mr. Imrie is a former London, On- tario, boy and his and similar mes- sages given on platforms. throughout Canada and every state of the Union should do much to cement forever the bond between these great nations. The singing of the National An- them came with peculiar appropiate- ness at the close of such an address as Mr. Im s s. x e, Wednesday's programs consisted of a concert by the Metropolitan Sing- ers in the afternoon, followed by a lecture recital on "Shakespeare' and Life" by Lester M. Stearns, of Chis cago. In the evening the program 'vas, given entirely by the Metropol- itan Singers, and their entertainments were one of the`rusical delights of the: 1927 Chautauqua, The six sing- ers, ers, three ladies and three gentlemen, are all of exce itioiial ability, and the evening program especially was a de li litfttl musical treat. The first part. g of the program consisted of sacred songs. 'The singers wore surp lice'and cassock and the stage settings gave the church atmosphere, so much so that there was a ,rrionlentary'liesita- tion on the part of the audience • to indulge in applause. This part of the program was entitled "The Chimes chime of Brittany," and the cathedral s the openingpeaTing c were heard in f : the bells and with good effect in sev- eral of the other numbers. Lovers of sacred music certainly enjoyed to the full the very fine rendering of many of the well-known selections, includ- ing the solo "The Ninety and Nine" by Mrs. Fillette, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," "The Lost Chord and "The Recessional," The second .part of the evening program consisted, of operatic selections and other vocal numbers, both popular and classic, which were given with fine blending of tone and beautiful tone quality: In this part of the program were includ- ed the negro pieces, "Darkie Lullaby" and "My Lindy Lou," and among other numbers "Maytirne," "Some- where Somebody is Waiting for You," "Just a Song at Twilight" and the Sextette from "Lucia," Tlreoc- companist, Mr. Brant, is a very clev- er and talented pianist artd he gave a medley of selections froin a number of grand operas named by the 'audi- ence, The lecture in the afternoon was,an appeal for the •cultivation of the taste for better things . The object of everyone in life, no matter in what way expressed, is the satisfaction Of desires; but there was a vast differ - nee in the level of people's desires, and a taste for the better and finer things in life could be cultivated The' man who spent his time in tile grati- t"io fico. n of low desires failed to attain the happiness he hoped for. The things really worth while in fife be- came more pleasing the oftener we in- dulged the taste for ttturn. 'There was a ,.danger of too elvish specialization in education A man might devote himself so ee.clusively to scientific study that his emotional nature became so starved, it was int; possible for him to shed a tear, or tp feel the impulse of true love and friendship; the education in that case being too' much .of the head and mot enough of the heart, This was an age of jazz and action and the better things in music and literature were often passed up and the preference given to inferior or bad entertainment. Yet Shakespeare's plays were full of life and "pep" and to show how the attention of the chil- dren even could be taken up in fol- lowing a recital of some of Shake- speare's immortal work, Mr. Stearns gave:i scene from the "Merchant of Venice," and this excellent dramatic recital was much appreciated. The knowledge that a taste for good things could be 'cultivated, if applied, could keep men from becom- ing criminals, and raise them in, the. scale of society. It did not do simply to say that one did not have a taste for this, that or the ether, for taste was a matter of cultivation, and more of the idealistic should be developed" in our thought for a.. man's desiree determines his character.' On Thursday afternoon, Al. Baker, ventriloquist and mgician, gave a very amusing entertainment and had quite a number of the young people onthe platform at times helping him. There were a large number of : adults in the audience, who seemed to enjoy the entertainment quite as much as the young folks. Thursday evening, a New . York cast presented the big attraction of the Chautauqua, a sparkling comedy, "The Patsy." It' is a decidedly hum- orous piece of satire on married life, or perhaps a lifting of the curtain on the domestic relationship between Pop and Mom and their two daught- ers. Mom's social aspirations melt to tears when Pop announced his finan- cial inability to providea motor car; and her decided preference for and deference to every whim of one, found a striking contrast to the blunt, open admiration of. Pop for the other girl. Mom's pet was petulant, selfish and arrogant, while Pop's. girl showed the ordinary capable, lovable and de- lightful character of most girls. This cross -current of affection led to many a domestic storm until, after twenty- five years of it, Pop used a real man's show of mind and will with startling effect on, his wife, who learned that she had a supernatural, wonderful husband. Patsy, .the charming girl, hadall the qualifications for her part -a bright manner, a most soothing and winsome voice that could quiver pathos and' entreaty. at will, and a pair of eyes that worked magic. By a.pret- ty piece of acting she :demonstrated how easily poor man is led around by the weaker sex, and that by a ju- dicious amount of flattery properly applied he is blind to the real objec- tive in view. Friday morning, `Ralph Gordon, who by the way is a Canadian, enter- tained the children with a series of cartoons and impersonations. In.the afternoon and evening the Casford Concert Company, three young ladies with harp, violin and piano, gave a charming program of beautiful selec- tions 'with• varied combinations of. these instruments. At night, the lee - Lure by r Dr. Wherahiko Raweii . on the South Sea Islands was replete with a great amount of interesting in- fogrmation about Samoa and other is- lands of the South Seas. His lecture was given in a quiet, pleasing way and seemed like one stepping out of a foreign and strangely beautiful country to tell the story of its won- ders. Dr. Raweii is an elderly gentle- man who has spent many years in Samoa, being sent out' by the British Government to rriitrister to the needs of the people. These islands would truly seem 19 be islands of the blest, with their wonderful climate, an abundance of food to be had for the gathering, and its peaceful quiet tininvaded. by visits from vessels even, except occa sionally. The people are absolutely care-free,nature having provided so abundantly for their wants with the bread fruit, the milk of the cocoanut and many other tropical fruits. The strange quietness :which total freedom from ngises of vehicles per- mits (transportation being by pad- dling) makes the island very peace - ltd and the large leafed trees produce a wonderful echo, and the leaves of the trees act like fans to keep one children are coal: The c taught out of doors: Dr. Raweii showed specimens of the beautiful fabrics,which the natives make for dress =Aerials and told the story of the diseevery that clothes could be Yiiade out of the inner bark, of certain trees. About 1o0 years ago one of the native women, desiring something different turd, better than Wx ldxHAM ADVANCE n= S the dress which had been the only garb worn up to that time, conceived the notion that it might be: possible 10 make clothes out of the bark of trees, and on taking some` large piec- es of bark down to a stream, eves surprised to ' find the gummy' inner bark, when beaten with a club, made a pulpy mass which could be' beaten out into a sheet of beautiful goods. By the use of dyes from berries the natives paint beautiful designs on'. these. The work is done entirely freehand but wonderfully beautiful and symmetrical designs' are produc- ed, and some of this clothing is so fi`te Wet a large sheen can be rolled up intoa small ball which the lec- turer could conceal in his hands. Dr. Raweii quoted the case of the change of the Samoans from barbar- ism to civilization as a striking exam- ple of what can be accomplished by the teaching of the principles of Cluietianity; -and • told of a church which the people erected inside of which they included -an ugly rock,' and when asked the reason the rock was preserved they explained this was the rock on which they used to sacrifice human life, and they wanted, to preserve it iri their church to re- mind them of thie state from which they had conte. ,Saturday morning John W, Men: - gels entertained the younger set with. his humorous clown acts, much to their delight. Iti the afternoon Vier- ra's Hawaiians gave a most entertain ing program, and also in the evening, on the musical instruments of : their native country that pleased the audi- ence. The lecture was given by An na Dickie Olesen, a prominent public woman of her own state, who ran as Senate candidate, but was unsuccess- ful. Her address was intended chiefly for ladies and was on the subject of the opportunities now open to women in the work of the world. The removal of suchoccupations. as spinning' and weaving from the home' where they used to be perform- ed, trieant that the home ceased to be the centre of activity for women it once was and in going into fac- tories they were simply following their old occupation into its new lo- cation. Christianity and democracy gave women a freedom they did not at one time enjoy, and industrial changes and the surplus of female population forced them into industrial life and other occupations. Mrs. Olesen said the woman in the home should receive Tier payment, if not in, coin as the woman in business, then in coin of woman's realm—love and devotion. She claimed to have discovered a difference between WO - men and men and she said she had never yet heard a man speak 'disre- spectfully of another man, and when women learned to stick together in the same way and got away from ideas of caste and class, they would. increase their influence. Hope for the ultimate peace of the world, she saw in the granting of the franchise to women, for as women came to realize the powers :that the, franchise gives them, they would riot be willing to countenance war as a way of getting international disputes settled. SCHOLARSHIP 'WINNER HONORED A large crowd gathered in North Mornington Presbyterian .church on Tuesday evening to honor and wel- come horne _ to Mornington an. old Mornington boy who has brought honorto and has put his townsliip permanently on the neap by winning the Rhodes Scholarship in Oxford' University,,England. This great hon- or was brought home by Alexander Corry, who after Three years abroad returned recently to his home here. In appreciation of Mr. Corry's suc- cess, a, beautiful ring was given him by his old congregation and a splen- did address was read, to which Mr. Corry, suitably replied.
