              CgttBt WUu.1 I HE CAM VOL. XII. MT. GILEAD, OHIO, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1916 NO. 7 I OEM aotauqoa iiie Program as Announced .Carried Out in Spirit-Attendance Fair Junior Work Good The Coit-AIber Chautauqua opened on the fair grounds, here, Monday for the third time in Mt. Gilead. The da; was an ideal one. Aa in yeare before the tent was placed on a nice spot on the fair ground. The attendance so far has been good. The officers this year are O.O. Crawford, president; Lloyd Dye, secretary; C. W. Schaaf, treasurer. There are fifty guarantors, most of them business men, who have stood behind it and made it possible to have a chautauqaa here For the past two years balance was left in the treasury but the attendance is not up to the ordinary this rear perhaps on account of it being so late and the state fair coming; the same week. Then Sunday was always a big day but as the chautauqua started on Monday ending Friday that had its effect. The deficit this year will be $100. Last year's balance will cover bout a fourth of this amount. The management and expectant participants as well as the spectators were greatly disappointed because the parade and pictures could not be carried out. The people owning automobiles and all children in the junior chautauqua bad been requested to meet at the square at 1:45 and march to the fair ground but as Chas. Summer Crosaman, the man who was to take pictures and show them in the evening could not use his machine on account of his picture machine being 60 cycle power and the Mt, Gilead plant 133 cycle, which was too powerful and would burn out the fuse at once. The children from 6 to 14 years met at the fair ground Monday morning at 9 o'clock when they organized the junior chautauqua. There are about eventy children attending, all holding a season ticket. They are under the leadership of Miaa Ida Belle Downey, a capable young lady, who easily won the children by her winning manner. Miss Helen Bakes of this place is helping her. The first steps taken was the eleo tion by the children of the following officers: Mayor, Ellison Kaufman; town clerk, Harriett Young; law and order commission, Eileen Pierce, Mary Bliss, James Williamson, Frank Bakes and Rudolph Robinson; clean up com mission, Mildred Whitney, Helen Mc- Farland, Wesley Moore and Richard George; health commission, Genevieve Griffith, Pauline Miller, Helen Smith, Mervio Breese and Robert Wilson; make good commission, Roger Rule, Rheta Cahaday, Dorothy Jones and Earl Pinyerd. Each have their various duties to perform. The motto they use is "We are Proud of Our Town; Is Our Town Proud of Us?" The laws are pasted on the tent where everybody can read them. The first hour is spr-nt in storytelling, songs and reports of the different com mittees. The second hear Miss Dow ney has charge of the girls in games and drills, while Mr. Merrick takes eharge f the boys. During the week the children went on hikes and other duties. This afternoon being the clos ing day the children will give a pagent for which they have been well drilled The subject of the psgeant is "Uncle Sam's Experiment."

The Man Outside Church Can Have No lore Liberties Than The Man in Church Si nopsis of sermom by Rev. John W. Craig preached at the Methodist church Sunday night, August 27: The text, taken from Ex. 5:2, reads a follows: "Who is the Lord that I should obey his will, to let Israel go"? Moses and Aaron stood before Pharoah and in the name of Jehovah de manded that Israel be released that tbey might hold a feast in the wilderness Pharaoh replied in the language of the text, "Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, therefore I will not let Israel go." In pressing the claims of the gospel upon" unsaved people we meet the same attitude today. One of the strange delusions of sin is that people will make no perfession of religion seem to think that they have lisence to sin. They say, "woe unto the church member who dosen't keep both bis feet in the straight and nar row way. I would hate to stand in his shoes. But I make no profession, there fore I can lie, drink, steal and corse as much as I please." , You can sin as much as you please, but God will bring you into judgment for it whether you are inside or out ol the church. In the matter of moral life and con duct God has given but one standard for all people. He commands all men everywhere to repent of their sins and love and obey bim. The professed Christian has just as much right to get drunk and beat his ife, to desecrate thevkUbbath, do crooked business, or lie and steal as anybody else. But no one has a right to sin, and no one has lisense to sin. We can sin if we will, but God will bring us into judgment for it. Custom has fixed one standard for the ministers, and another for laiety. The standard for the minister is very high He must be clean, consecrate, spiritu ally minded, unselfish, and without worldly entanglements. This is just as it should be. and I would not have the standard lowered for any thing. But what about the standard for the church? The fact is that the standard for church membership waa never so low as it is today. The most of our churches are absolutly without discip line, and many of their members are so much in love and in league with the world that they are of no account in the work of the church. The fence between the chureh and the world is so low that the members can jump back and forth from the ball room to the church services several times a week, in a hobble skirt, with out breaking a stitch. If it is not wrong for the church members to dance, play cards and use tobacco, etc., it is not wrong for the minister. Jehovah does not give two standards for the life and conduct of his people. Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice',? 1 He is th absolute sovereign, and sole proprietor of earth, heaven and hell, and you cannot go beyond his do mimion la this world or the next. Some are foolish enough to think that they can escape their responsibility to God by staying away from church. 2 Th Lord is our creator and the sustainer of our lives. We are living on his bounty, and without him we could nob live. 3 The Lord is a loving father who cares for his children. He seeks our highest good and has to do with all the experiences of our lives. 4 The Lord is our redeemer. He has purchased us with his own blood and we belong to him. We cannot be saved without him. We cannot be happy without him.
