The campaign is scheduled to continue for four weeks, and the preaching will be done by the Rev’. C.

Reed will be assisted in the active leadership of the meetings by his wife, and music director, Mr. Charles Daugherty, o- .miianapolis. in securing the services of Dr. | Reed, the churches of Syracuse feel that they are exceptionally fortunate, as he is a speaker of unusual ability and power, having held evangelistic relations in the North Indiana Confzrcnce of the church of his choice for a number of years, and always being in demand by his ministerial brethren. He is a four-square preacher of the old-time gospel, •nd believes that the "gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” While a forceful speaker, he does < not use sensational' methods or Wieans to secure results. His appeal is to the conscience and will of the individual and endeavors to secure the co-opera'ion of vl these two very important elements in the individual’s life to ' assist in the conversion of the soul. \ One of the chief aids < f the I preacher, during this campaign, will be his wife. Mrs. C. Fenwick Reed The success or failure of many men are due to the cooperation or lack of it on the J part of their faithful wives. Mrs. Reed is of a pleasant disposi'ion; a singer of exceptional ability, and a wondei ful worker with women and girls. She will assist wi‘h the music of the campaign, and direct in the meetings for women and girls, which will be held each Sunday afternoon, after the first Sunday.

I youngsters of this community I are surely glad that such a man (I of ability and personality is coming to Syracuse for four weeks. Meetings will be held twice a week for the children only, and a laige Junior chorus will be one 1 of the chief aids in the program of the meetings. Mr. Daugherty will be in Syracuse Friday evening, and would like to meet aH the singers and personal workers • of 'he community at theComjnunity building Sunday afternoon at 2:30.

i Marseilles, France 1 (By Mrs. Amanda L. Xanders.)' 2 ' No. 7

Arrived here from Lyons, at ’ 1 3:30 p. m. Saturday, November 20. j' I'he only other person in the com- ,! partment besides Mr. and. Mrs. * I Curtis, Miss Hadley and myself ' t was a large nice looking German, who spent a number of years in ; the U. S. traveling from coast to coast and though his father and bnV’ber are naturalized citizens ■ he lives in Baden, Germany. He was very polite and help- ; ful with our luggage and wraps. ‘ and w T e certainly appreciate such J things, from a fellow traveler. . in a compartment, on a foreign i train. He spoke English quite as fluently as either German or ; French. ’ The porter we engaged called for a taxi. The one that came . was not a taxi, and of course we were ‘ stung.” on the price. We reached our hotel or Pension Les ; Arcaf.es on Rue du Paradis-—the ' longest and straightest street in the city—in due time, and were soon at home, in a single room on the first sleeping floor, with very high ceiling, on account of the intense heat of summer—all done in gray and pink, even the tile fl<x>r was gray with small pink designs. The three largest cities of France are Paris, Lyons, Marseilles: the latter being a seepon town- on the Mediterranean is somewhat cosmopolitan, made up mostly of the riff-raff of the nations that border on the great sea. 'Phe most noticeable among them and evidently of a better class, are the Moors, of Algiers, with their full round turbans and flowing robes, all of The Marseilles, the national song of France, was written here, but not by a native of the city. During the French Revolution an army of the worst element of this place marched on Paris, singing the Marseilles and took a very terrible hand in the general slaughter of that day. ■ *- i? Over here, *lme is not so much reckoned in years, as it is by centuries. It is with infinitely more pride t hat the centuries old buildings, are shown the visitors, than those of later date, unless they are remarkably beautiful and costly, as for instance the Cathedral begun in 1852. The corner s'one was laid by Napoleon 111 and took forty two years to build, at a cost of .‘lO million godd francs, at a time too when the franc was much nearer full value, than it is now. And the further amount necessary to complete the interior and exterior decorations, will require 18 million more. The church is built with alternate course of green and white stone; .it has one large central dome and a number of smaller ones. Parts of the altar are inlaid with costly jewels and the walls that are finished are inlaid with gold. There "is a throne chair, near the altar, that at one *ime, w’as used by Napoleon 111 and we were invited to sit in it, and make a wish that surely would come true. I see now where I made a mistake, I should have wished for protection against accidents. The length of the Cathedral is 460 feet and the height of the central dome is 200 feet. It is now the largest, in France since the destruction during the World War, of the one at Rheims. The interior is richly decorated with marble, onyx and mosaics, and there is a tablet commemorating the one million men of the British empire, who died in the grea* war. Notre Dame de-le-Garde. is a ' new Byzantine bascilicer, built in 1864 by Espirandieu. If crowns the highest hill overi looking the sea; it is surmounted ‘ by a lofty belfrey, that is topped ■ -by. a gilded statue of the Virgin. ■ The interior is lined with marble and is particularly remarkable i for the multitude of sailors votive offerings, which it contains. Models of ships are suspended from all parts of the church. The r easiest way to reach it, is to take ’ the funicular, that carries you to the top of the hiU. When you leave you go down a street rather steep and narrow, until you come out on a boulevard, where * pretentious houses line one side and a park the (/her—down - steps to a small round open space hedged in where on a Sunday afternoon you will find it full of the t prettiest and smartest dressed little children. From there you go down steps and inclines, until t you reach the end of the park where there is & lovely waterfall

t and you are once more *at the . level of the sea. One fine morning we all walk- . ed down to the dock, where we took a boat for Chateau D’lf . which crowns a high rocky island 11 in the bay; it is a good specimen 11 of the military architecture of I i the 16th century; to be exact, it i was built in 1524 by Francis Ist, I who belonged to the House of Volois. It was long used as a sta'e pri- ; son; some of the scenes of Dumas’ ' story, the Court of Monte • Christo, are laid here, where the Count was a prisoner and nade his escape—here are the gloomy dungeons o f Edward Dantes and Abbe Faria, who fignire in that romance. Among prisoners confined here, w’ere Marquis de-la-Valetl'e—the man. in the iron mask—and a man was a pris- J rner for six years, because he failed to uncover before Louis XIV. At the request of his father Mirabeau ’aas confined here and Prince Casimir of Poland. I did not go beyond the entrance —the climb up the steps and steep inclines was exertion enough—so I sat on< the high stone w’all and looked far out to sea. The tal| centuries old stone houses in the old part of Marseilles, have been condemned • nd are being torn down as fast as passible; some cf them house as many as fifty families. An afternoon motor trip around the city, with a competent guide was full of interest; it began, our hotel being just rround the block, at the monument and fountain of Cantini that stands a + the head of the Prado, an extremely wide avenue one mile long and lined with four rows of Syramore trees: ‘a branch cf the avenue .leads to the race course, that looked new* anjj of tertprturn around thethe track: it is open for racing, every Sunday afternoon. In the same neighborhood is the Borely Chateau and park, gorgeous in bloom and full of anckiy trees —a donation to the city fnim its wealthy .deceased owner. From here we motored over t e famous Comiche road, that runs for five miles along the walled in coast, line and where perched way up on the almost perpendicular hillside, are villas > of the exclusive rich, who live | hare all the year round; out j along the new dock with its forest of masts then turning off —we crossed the river on a transporter—a high iron sort of bridge affair, that carries everything a ferry dees—but without touching the water; it is close to Fort St. Nicholas and Fort St. John; it really was quite an experience. Another wonderful building of Napoleon 3rds time was built 1862 —70 by Henri Espirandieu; i' is called the Palais Longchamp. It consists of two long w’ings, very wide apart, united by a semi-circular ionic colonnade; in front of it, are a cascade and a colossal group of the Duranc between corn and wme. Four enormous oxen lean out over the fountain, way above the beautifully laid; out grounds below. You enter the grounds thru large iron gates, guarded by lions. Long winding 1 flights of stone steps, on each side lead to the top of the fountain; you pass thru the colonnade to a lovely park and beyond it are the zoological gardens, that are traversed by an aqueduct that brings the water for the magnificent fountain. lit was in the 'zardens of the zoo I was to meet the party who had gone on ahead —while I went to purchase my ticket to Naples, and of course I never caught up with them. I lingered at the top of the fountain, until the sun went down a ball of fire—even then I was loathe to leave it— as to me it’s the most beautiful and wonderful thing in Marseilles. Adolphe- Theirs. 1797—1877, one time President of France, was born here. At 4 p. m. a taxi came to take us to the dock, where the steamship Hakozoki Maru was to sail at 5 p. m. for Naples. The taxi driver drove info the freteht wharf and right next to a big freighter, to the left, lay a large, brilliantly lighted ship. I said i to Ann “that is our boat” When i we drove out the, driver said “have you ©lenty of time” and Ann said, "yes.” So what did he do but run up a bill on us. by I driving in an opposite direction.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM About 800 persons witnessed the presentation of "Christmas in Scripture Carols and Pageant” at s he auditorium Christmas eve. This was one of the most beautiful and impressive public Christmas services ever given in Syracuse. The scenes of the pageant were built around the Christmas story which had been arranged from the gospels and which were read by the prophetess. \ The pageant was staged under the direction of Mrs. R. N. McMichael. Miss Gladys Minardew was director of the musical features. As :er the close of the program gif's were distributed by the ladies of the Wednesday Afternoon Cluh, which made three hundred and eighty-five children happy. Os course, Santa Claus was there in full uniform; The Wednesday Afternoon IC’ub is very much indebted to Mr. Perry Dull who gave the . beautiful evergreen which was used this year for our ConununJilv Christmas tree. However, it would not have been possible to bring such a large tree 'o town in perfect condition had it not been for the efforts of Messrs. Insley, Rosson. Abbott and Harkless. ___ CHRISTMAS DINNER Those who were present and enjoyed the annual Christmas inner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Colwedl were: Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Darr and Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Kellogg and. son, Charles, of Elkhart; Mr. and Airs. Oliver Darr and Eugene Martin and Mrs. Dallis Myers of Benton; Mr. and Mrs. Willis Lantz and two children, Richard and Phillip, and Mrs. Albert Zimmerman and two children, Wauneta and Junior, of New Paris; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smaltz, of Leesburg; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Darr and daughter, Meriam and son, Kenneth and Geo. W. Juday; of Syracuse. ~— - BRIDGE PARTY’ Miss Neva Foster entertained seven of her lady friends at a bridge party at her home on Monday night. Those who enjoyed the time playing the game were: Miss Louise Snobarger, Mrs. Orval Snobarger. Miss Alice Mann, Miss Nellie Mann, Miss Lois Butt, Miss Neva Meek and Miss Elizabeth Bushong. Miss Nellie Mann and Miss Neva Meek won the prizes. Dainty refreshments were served to the guests before their departure. I protested to Ann, but to no purpose—he finally turned round and drove into the right dock—in those fifteen wasted minutes our boat was several hundred feet from her pier. As soon as the taxi stopped, two men grabbed our six pieces of luggage and disappeared. While I paid for the taxi, Ann was being bombarded with such questions as “why didn't you come sooner,” “what made you late*,” “where is your ticket,” etc. A large man we had never seen before, was boiling over with excitement, that later we put him down as the head man in the Nippon Yusen Kaisflia local office. The large good looking man who sold me my ticket, demanded to see it, when he found Ann’s read 5 p. m. and there in plain sight was, sail 3:30 p. m. He said excitedly and angrily to me, "why didn't you read your ticket”? Then the three men started to walk towards the end of the dock, while I kept asking, “where is our luggage”? With aknost every, step of the way I kept asking, “where is our luggage”? Until finally the man who sold me the ticket, got tired of hearing the question, turned to me and said "never mind your luggage, not worried about that, come along,” and along we did go, until we came to the edge of the end of the dock, when standing beside me, he said: “Can you climb that rope ladder over there”? I looked across the couple hundred or more feeT. of water and saw thru the gloom a rope ladder, that the crew had thrown over the side of the ship and my heart sank within me with fear at the bare idea of it.—tho I said bravely enough—“not with my coat on.” The min took me by the arm and led me down a flight of stone steps, to where a heavily built boat, was bobbing up and down with our luggage in the bo 1 tom and Ann sitting calmly in the stem. I stepped, in and had to catch one of the men by the Shoulder, to keep from going over board. I a ’ •

CULVER UPSETS SYRACUSE i Syracuse lost their first home ; game of the year before one of ’ the largest crowds ever to be . seen in the new gymnasium, keeping the fans at highest ■ pitch of excitement every minute of the game, as neither team had a lead of more than one or two , points at any time. Although ; the Culver Independents nosed . out Syracuse, this was the finest this year. “ The Culver defense was the strongest the boys have bumped ! up against, as they failed to break through very few times, most of the field goals being rade from long range. The Syracuse defense was very weak and Culver broke loose several times for short shots under the basket and made practically every one register. Milhauser, Souders and Hoesel were the stars for the winners. Druckamiller was high score man for the losers and played his best ; me of the year. Our flashy forward, H. Shultz, seemed off! form, as well as Auers. Although our s.'one wall Snavely seemed I to crumble a little at times and ; R. Shultz was a little weak on defense, they played ’ a good 1 game. - . Pe-e Hall, of Webster, made things hot for Culver for a few • minutes, being run in R. Shultz's piece, but failed to connect with 1 the basket. ’Connolly, our flashy lit/le for- i ward of last year’s high school i team was in a suit with the 1 Syracuse Independents. i Culver is expecting to return f.gain this season and Syracuse < hopes to even up their defeat.

THINGS TO THINKABOUT Review of Things by the Edit As He Sees Them on \ the Surface. Minding One’s Own Business \ Much has been written on the \ subject of One’s Own Business,” but as a rule these preachments have been directed toward local communities, business men and individuals. Recent developments in Europe as weill as in the Americas impresses one with the though that nations should be included among the offenders. The United S!a‘es has landed Marines in Nicaragua because the local governor is having trouble with revolutionists. The United States and League of Nations are asked, to "butt in” on Mexico affairs. Mexico promptly tells the League to mind its own business and settle its own affairs. The policy of minding your own business has been largely responsible for the 140 years of peace this country has enjoyed, and when we departed from that nrincinal we were railroaded i”to a war. Uncle Sam’s experience has proved that meddling makes enemies. We should let our South Ajmerican neighbors, as well as European” brothers, adjust their own trouble® in their own ways and continue to attend striq'ly to our own business. The Teacher The country teacher has an infinitely greater opportunity to ” count than the city school teacher. If she can like her job she is a personage in the conwnunity where she labors. Everybody knows her. <Everybody looks up to her if she proves she is boss. On the other hand, there is a staggering challenge if she is weak in the knees. There is no principal and superintendent to bols'er her up, to cover over her failures and gently waft her on to some more suitable berth, with, few the wiser. The proverbal privacy of the goldfish is hers. We say the paucity of rural school teachers is rather typical of the age. It is a golden ( age for people with courage and initiative to tackle problems single handed. Because there are so few who seem to want to do Miat. A statement is made by the accident prevention bureau of the Association of Mutual Liability Insurance Companies, that married men are much better auto drivers. Single men were involved in more than half of all highway accidents, the statement continues. We will now hear from the married woman. A Colorado predcher, who is also a justice of the peace; marries folks with two ceremonies, so that the knot will stay tiied longer. W hat a field there is for that 4 man in Hollywood! Notwithstanding the marvelA ous electric inventions the government says the lightning bug, or firefly puts electricians to shame. A minister told us .the other day, that in marriage ceremonies he omittel the word “obey.” She doesn’t do it anyway, he said. Unless science gets a move on the trend of styles will solve the boll veevil question by putting cotton out of business. Get rid of your bugaboos, natural or supernatural. ■ Fear never got a man or woman into a high ”lace. A Chicago man was arrested for selling liquor in fountain pens. Must have been a leak somewhere. > As war measures savages peoples murder and steal. Does civilization iirfprove the conditions? It is hard to figure out why it is that Santa Claus was not created in the form of a woman. Sinners* may be Jost, but i+s a hard job to keep from stepping on their toes. To successfully dominate the boy Dad must set an example in manliness. In closing: Happy New Year. See you nexfc year.
