16 ANNIVERSARY OF MARKET SQUARE SUNDAY SCHOOL TO BE OBSERVED TOMORROW BAPTISTS BUSY RAISING FUND Plan to Raise Extra Million For War Work With Soldiers and Sailors With F. W. Ayer, of Camden, as chairman, and Fred P. Haggard, of New York, as campaign director, a big committee of Baptist laymen is conducting a campaign for "an ex tra million dollars by March thirty first." The committee has headquar ters at the Fifth Avenue building, New York, and the various states are rapidly being organized for the final "drive" in March. The work is progressing satisfactorily, and there is every indication of the success of the movement. The. committee is planning to util ize $150,000 of the amount raised for the promotion of tho work among soldiers at the big camps. This will not conflict in any way with the work of the Y. M. C. A. as it, is designed to assist the local churches in the vicinity of the camp and enable them to reach the men more effectively on the outside. There are also seven agencies of the Baptist denomination among! which the funds will be distributed. I They are the America Baptist For- I eign Mission Society; the Woman's American Baptist Foreign Mission | Society; the American Baptist Home Mission Society; the Woman's American Baptist Home Missionary Society, the American Baptist Pub lication Society; the Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board, and the j Board of Education. During a long and busy business life Mr. Ayer, the chairman of the committee has been closely identified with religious and philanthropic work. For forty years he has been superintendent of the Sunday School at Camden, and has taken a promi nent part in all of the laymen's movements connected with the de nomination. He has served as presi dent of the Camden and of the New Jersey Young Men's Christian As sociation. Mr. Haggard also has been closely identified with the Baptists for years. He is secretary of the lay men's missionary movement. He went to Russia in 1916 for the In ternational Y. M. C. A. committee und had charge of the military pris on camp work in that country. He is Editor of Men and Missions and the publicity secretary of the Ameri can committee for Armenian and Syrian relief. BAPTIST Tabernacle- —The Rev.

A WARM WELCOME TO YOU SATURDAY EVENING, AUGSBURG CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR ENGAGED IN WID Augsburg Lutheran Christian En | deavor society is actively engaged in j Endeavor work and in conjunction j with thousands of Lutheran socie ties of Pennsylvania and through out the world, is doing its share, "For Christ and the Church." Under the capable leadership of President Guy L. Dobbs, the society is making a record in many activi ties. President Dobbs was a mem ber of Junior C. E. in Emanuel Lu theran Church of Williamstown five years and treasurer for two years. He became a member of Augsburg C. E. society in 1911, and was vice president in 1916-17, under Presi dent M. F. Mitchell. The officers of the society are as follows: vice president, Frank Dif fenderfer; recording secretary. Miss Annabel Burkhart; corespondlng secetary, Airs. A. G. Hursh; treas urer, Miss Margaret Murray; pian ist, Miss Mary Garland. This society holds a joint prayer meeting on Sunday evening with the Intermediate society which is under the supervision of Miss Margaret Shumaker, formerly chairman of the prayer meeting committee during the past few years. Under her capable leadership she has devel oped from a mere handful of begin ners, a society of 120 members in, less than a year's time. Three suggestions which the so ciety has been giving special atten tion with excellent' results are as fol lows: First encourage the Interme diate society; second, conduct a ser vice away from the church each month; third, emphasize that Chris tian influene during the dailj' life. • C. E. Notes "A Soloonless Nation by 1920. the Three Hundredth Anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims at Plym outh," is the slogan first adopted at the Atlantic City Christian En deavor Convention, 1911, and has been ringing across the waters and in many cities and towns and En deavorers anticipate that we shall have a "dry" nation before three i years pass around. Hon. George W. Coleman, presi-| dent of the Northern Baptist Con-1 vention and trustee of the United i Society, has gone to France to study conditions there and report to the conventions as to how the churches may help soldiers. "The Power of the Cross in Asia," is the topic for discussion in the State Street United Brethren so ciety to-morrow evening. A good meeting is promised and Mrs. J. A. Miller will have charge of the ser vice. As an instance of Christian En deavor field-work, Charles F. Evans recently rode fifteen miles by mule team, and two miles more by wagon, to reach one meeting; then back the sume night, by the same road to the depot, where he sat from 12.30 A. M. until 5.30 to catch a train to take him to his next appointment. At Christ Lutheran C. E. society i on Sunday evening the meeting will be in charge of Miss Mary Mumma and a good time is promised to all Endeavorers and friends.

Zimmerman: Junior Su perintendent, Miss Stella Bentz; assistant superintendent, Miss Ethel Wagner. L. E. McLachlin, Secretary of Y. M. C. A. in China to Speak at Mass Meeting One of the most interesting and instructive meetings ever held at the Central Y. M. C. A. building is promised for Sunday afternooon, when L. E. McLachlin, general sec retary of the Young Men's Christian Association at Foo Chow, China, will speak before the men's mass meet ing in Fahnestock Hall. Mr. Mc- Lachlin is home on a furlough. He will speak on present conditions in China. McLachlin is a fluent speak er. His message will be of great import to the average man. China is a great field for modern business.

A special musical attraction is being secured for the meeting. There are no admission fees and all men are cordially invited. DR. CLARENCE H. CHAIN Dr. Clarence H. Chain, of Phila delphia, president of the Pennsyl vania Christian Endeavor Union, says: "Be thou the man.'v words of Abraham Lincoln. Are they not a challenge to those of us who have hesitated to assume leadership in the past? Hesitate because of the bigness of the task: perhaps because, of our feeling of inefficiency; per haps because the places have been filled and so well filled there was not the urgent call to us. But now places have been vacated. Do you hear God's call, "Be thou the man?" Endeavorers are urged to make this year one of great results for our King. Airs. W. H. Jacobs will have charge of the C. E. service at the St. Mat thews' Lutheran society on Sunday evening. Every Endeavorer is urg ed to attend the meeting. The Christian society at Preseott, Ark., purchased one Liberty bond of the lirst issue, and four bonds of the second issue, besides contributing to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. funds. This church has no pastor, but the young people keep the home fires burning.

FAMOUS TRIO TO APPEAR HERE Trio de Lutece Will Be at Fahnestock Hall For Wednesday Club In bringing to the fore the Trio de Lutece, that combination of artists which will appear on April at Fahnestock Hall, the Wednesday Club presents an organization of the I'ightest type. In the first place, this now famous Trio boasts of three great artists, —George Barrere the most prominent flute virtuoso of this generation; Carlos Salzedo, the most noted harpist of to-day and Paul Kefer, the eminent 'cellist who was five years soloist of the New York Symphony Orchestra. Each an in dividual artist, these men present in their ensemble an equal perfec tion. The Trio de Lutece, is so-named, in honor of the native city of these artists, namely Paris. Paris is the early days of conquest was known as Lutetia, or Lutece. The musical literature upon the programs offered by the Trio de Lutece embraces the works of the earlier masters such as Mozart, Han del, and Hayden and the ultra-mod ern compositions of contemporary writers as Debussy, Ravel, etc. And although, in every sense the pro grams are of a classical nature, they are not conductive to weariness for impossible to spend time in the study impossible to spend time inthe study of harmony. Almost all of the music fitted for the interpretation of the Trio de Lutece, is of a happy joyous nature imbued with elegance, giving each artist, the opportunity to reveal his art as soloist. It may be remembered that Paul Kefer appeared in concert with Florence Hinkle in this city several years ago in one of the artists con certs of the Wednesday Club and delighted his audience with his ex traordinary beautiful cello playing. FINAL WEEK OF KINGDOM DRIVE i I)r. Bagncll Will Preach on Interesting Sermon Sub jects To-morrow - The Grace Church Drive for the Kingdom starts the final week of its campaign, Sunday, February 24th, with a sermon at 10.30 o'clock by the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, on "Christ—The Revelation of God." In the evening at 7.30 o'clock Dr. Bagnell will preach the third ser mon of his scries, entitled "Is Christ ianity Facing a World Crisis?" This series of sermons is on "The Out look for Religion When the War is Over," and is considered by some, who have heard his previous ser mons, to be the best series that T)r. Bagnell has ever preached. The auditorium has been filled ftvery Sunday evening during tho series and it is anticipated that a record-breaking crowd will be out to hear Dr. Bagnell this Sunday eve ning when he preaches on "Will the Church Have the Vision and Cour age to Make the Necessary Re-ad justments?" The work of the week has pro gressed very splendidly and the ladies' committees, which have held conferences in the various districts of the city each day, had one of the most stirring meetings in the church Thursday at noon. It was held in connection with the regular Red Cross work and from twelve to one was devoted to religious exercises., There were about two hundred ladies present and Mrs. Robert Bagnell's Sunday School Class served the lun cheon. The business men's luncheon was postponed from Thursday noon to Friday noon and it was one of the most stirring meetings ever held by the men of Grace Church. A special feature of the luncheon was the presence of Charles M. Alex ander and his company of Evan gelistic Singers who had charge of the luncheon. Meetings will be held every night during the coming week except Sat urday and the meetings will end up with Membership Day on Sunday, March 33. The Epworth League meeting will be held at fi.3o o'clock in the lecture room of the church with A. H. Dinsmore, Boys' Secre tary of the Y. M. C. A., speaking on "Our Duty as Americans." Several appropriate solos will also be a fea ture of the meeting. Lenten Sermons at Zion Lutheran Church; | to Unfurl Service Flags Tho pastor will preach upon the themes announced for the Sundays in Lent. The morning series will be upon "Prophecies of the Re deemer" and "Values of the Cross." All of the sermons and studies dur ing Lent will magnify the Person and Work of the Lord Jesus. On Wednesday and Monday evenings the events of Passion Week are con sidered. At the Sunday school ses sion the theme will be Foreign Mis sions and an offering will ber given for work In India and Africa. It is most gratifying to see that with all the demands being made for con tributions for all kinds of war work, the interest in the supreme business of the church is growing—carrying the gospel to all men. The many groups of workers who have been canvassing the congregation tor the Lutheran War Work Fund for our Bovs on Land and Sea have almost completed their pleasing task, and report that they expect to go "over the top" handsomely in old Zion. Two service flags will be unfurled at a special patriotic service to be held at a future date, the siik flag will be used in the church and will be presented by Paul Chadwick. It will bear one gold star in memory of Lieut. Col. Ziegler. The Pocket Testament League, under the direc tion of Mrs. V. 11. Fager, has an en rollment approaching the 200 mark. The Cenchrean Circle will convene at 7 o'clock on Monday evening, in order to permit the members to at tend the Lenten service. The Liter ary Circle will meet with Miss Mar garet Shreiner on Tuesday evening at 214 North street. The choir is rehearsing a Lenten cantata to be rendered on Holy Thursday evening, and will also ofTer a Praise service for Easter Sunday evening. New members will be received on Palm Sunday and Good Friday evening. ANNIVERSARY OF MARKET SQ. S. S. Members to Celebrate Birth day of City's Oldest Sun day School Body The outstanding feature of Mar ket Square to-morrow is the Anni versary service of the Sunday School. This is the oldest Sunday School in 1 larrisburg. It celebrates its anniversary "on the Sunday near est the twenty-second of February." t>n these occasions, in former years, many distinguished men and women have nddressel the nssembled school and church. On this occasion a dis tinguished member of the congrega tion and citizen of 1 larrisburg, will be the spokesman. Dr. J. George Becht has been chosen to speak. Grent preparations are being made for a splendid rally of the men of Market Square on Monday evening. I'wo distinguished orutors of nation al repute have been secured to speak to the men. The Hon. W. Frank James, member of congress from the twelfth Michigan district, will speak on the "Great War." The Hon M. Clyde Kelley, of the Thirtieth Penn sylvania district, will speak on "The Brotherhood of 1918." About 500 men have been Invited to be the guests of the session on this occa sion. Many letters of acceptance have been received. It will be a great sight to see the men of Mar ket Square together. Then, the women of the church are expecting to come together in a semi-social Way. On Wednesday there will b.e a gathering at "The Manse." The annual meeting of the Woman's Foreign Missionary So ciety will be the meeting, but around this will assemble a number of the other women who are not members of this particular society. The host esses are Mrs. W. 10. Bailey, Miss Mary Reily, and Mrs. G. E. Hawes. The Manse will be crowded to its capacity, it is hoped. 'Sociability is the keyword for the week all along the line. BIG METHODIST BANQUET MAR 5 Arrangements For Gathering of Methodist Members About Completed The Methodist Union, which con-! sists of all the Methodists of Har risburg and vicinity, will hold its] First Annual Banquet in the Masonic j Temple Banquet Hall, Third andj State street, Thursday evening, < March 7. at 7.30 o'clock. Bishop William F. McDowell will be the speaker at this banquet. District Superintendent, Dr. Morri E. Swartz, will also make an address as well as a number of prominent Methodist Laymen of this city. The leaders of Methodism in the city have felt, for a long time, the ne cessity and desirability of a closer union between the members of the various Methodist churches of the city and vicinity. In accordance this thought a short time ago a Methodist Union was formed and the following officers were elected: President, Warren VanDyke; vice president, John P. Meillck; secre tary, J. K. Snavely; treasurer, C. C. Byler; trustees, E. I. Boook, H. W. Shirey, D. H. Swope and Charles M. Dickel. These officers, working as an executive committee, appointed six sub-committees to work out the plans for this First Annual Ban quet Each church was apportioned a certain number of tickets in ac cordance with their membership and the total number of tickets given out was five hundred and some were to be sold at SI.OO per plate. At a meeting of the general committee last evening reports from the eigh teen Methodist churches of Harris burg and vicinity, showed that near ly all of the tickets have been sold and that only a few remained for sale. The demand for tickets con tinues to be so great that those who have not secured tickets as yet, should see their respective pastor at once as the committee feels sure that the demand for the tickets will exceed the supply by at least three or four hundred and it is absolutely a physical impossiblity to seat more than live hundred ladies and gentle men in the Masonic Banquet Hall. Uitrc Methodist MemlK>rshlp There are more than eight thou said Methodists in this community and this First Annual Banquet promises to be the leading church social event of the Methodists and the fore-runner of many similar oc casions. The great demand for tickets for this banquet shows that the leaders of Methodism were right in their conclusion that the Metho dists of the city desire a closer union between the members of the various churches and more get together and get better acquainted meetings. Spe cial attractive plans have been work ed out by the various committees and it is anticipated the evening will not only be one of great enjoyment and pleasure but also one of special profit to all who attend and that the result will be a forward movement in Methodism of the city and vicinity which will stir this community as never before. The Methodist Church Union Banquet has become the lat est church social event in all the large communities of our country and other Protestant denominations are following the example of the Methodist Church and are working out similar union pieetlng plans.
