What *>does' It all mean? We.know that a high morale in an army makes it a .good lighting army; a high mortde h) the civilian population makes folks t$o their bftst'Whatever tasks they may have injposed upon them; ’ th a t' the ■moral purpose of an individual or o f a •nation has. much to^do with Its suc- xCMa'ln any undertaking. „ . ■ Hr. William H. Stout, scholar, stu­ dent, man-bf-affairs, cofiies to Chau- stauqUa becauee he baa been studying "these matters long before we entered ■ the war, in fact, long before the war .began in Europe; be has -been lectur- ing fo r yebra making a genuinely sin- ' pere effort to furbish some building -.materials for'the moral- and intellec­ tual atructure o f the ONHinuoities he jdslted. vAnd he has succeeded if the ■'sincere thanks of people living in these °Communities—people from .all walks o f life, bankers, business men, teach- . eri* preachers, farmers, laboring men , ISsn indication of his helpfulness to them. Mr. Stout was born on a farm four miles from the scenes pictured in Eg­ gleston’s “The Hooslen" School Mas-' te„r” so,' of course, he is a Hoosier. For five years he worked'as waterboy and laborer op. the Ohio and Mississip­ pi Railway which was then being built. He worked bis way. through *thq Cen­ tral Normal'College a t Dahyllle, lnd„ the Bryant and Stratton Business Col­ lege, Louisville, Ky., where, he taught for several years, graduated from the Indiana University representing his University on- its Inter-Collegiate De­ bating Team* Since his college days," he has been in business and lately has been devoting must of his time to the lecture field. Mr, Stout’ will stir our people with’ his masterly lecture; if he has not ipetured-Tn-a community, he-'prefers ;to give his best known lecture, ;;seeitig Life Whole” which is a*lectuS*fe that constantly changes;, if be. has deliv­ ered "this lecture.in a-community, he .will.present one of his other lectures: “ ISducarfion in the New Era/' “New Conceptions' of Civic Duty,” or “The Durable Satisfactions of Lire.” You will be given a treat whatever the sub ject of bis .address may be. I. The Origin o f the Church (Acts 2:1-4). Fifty days nfter the passover, while tllp 120 men aud women were “ with one accord in one place” the Holy Spirit came upon them and baptized them Into ode body .(I Cor. 12:13). Thus was begun the body called the church. The churcli had Its beginning at t’entecost. The believers were united around tbe resurrected 'Christ •os head. .. •' II. Conditions of Entrance Into •the Chprch (Acts 2:37-41). After the coining^of the Spirit at Pentecost, Peter witnessed to tlio death and resurrection of* ChrisL Through this testimony the Spirit cop.* Victed these Jews of their sins,. *lh (heir desperate need they* cried ;out:. “What "shall we* doYi Peter’s reply indicated the steps Into the church, ' (1) Belief In Jesus Christ as Savior. His argument proved, flint Jesus whom they had crucified was the Messiah. (2) Repentance. Every one entering the church should repent; should change his mind and attitude toward Jesus Christ. . (3) Be baptized. The divinely ap­ pointed method fo r the public confes­ sion. of Jesus Christ is baptism. Those who have believed in Jesus Christ should- receive’ this tangible ordinance. ’ which symbolizes our identification with Christ in his death, butlai and res­ urrection. .(4) Receive remission of ship. Those who have been united to JestiS Christ have all their sins removed; there is an entire' cancellation of guilt. They have a-standing before God which Is absolutely perfect. ^ (5) Receive the Holy Spirit. .The gift of the Holy Spirit is the birthright of every regenerated soul who is obedi­ ent to Christ, * ; * III. A Portrait o f the Primitive Church (Acts 2 :42-47), 1. They continued in the apostles’ doctrine (v. 32). Instead ’ hf being .taught by the scribes they ate now taught by the apostles. They have turned away from their blind guides ivli: “ BURNS OF THE MOUNTAINS >9 Kentucky Feudist Mountaineer to Lecture , at Chautauqua •/.. -So long as red blood runs in the.veins of.

Burns, of .Oneida Institute, Oneida, Ky, The average college president is a man of the i ’ study, Bpectacled, and astute, with a Vast fund of book information, at his didpoSal, but with sc&nt touch with Americans in the making. Burns Is different. He has a face that looks as if it had been hewn from stoho when the gods were in a mood to be careless as to artistic effect. It is a sad face, reminiscent of Lincoln in the deep lines- and the smile which occasionally lights it. It is the face o f a than who has seen: life, and who has found himself. Nobody could call him beautiful, if beauty 1 b to he judged from exterior appearances, and the correspondence school graduate of the "how-toget-on-thc-platform-in-three;le«- sons” Course hrould be palsied by hiB utter lack o f grace.

You see the feud leaders advancing to the center of the old mill with-pistol butts in blind, and’ then, to a blinding mist o f -tears, you See the Great Reconciliation—not because theae mountain Anglo-Saxons were afraid o f each other, or feared to die, but because the lore o f their children, which passes all understanding, had moved their hearts, ■„ .

Proper recognition should bo given to those who are engaged In spiritual service ^v. 12 ), Only as the grace of God abounds do men and wjynen turn from their secular to spir­ itual interests.

While we should not give worship to those wiio are leaders in the church Of Christ we should give them proper respect. One of the signs of the de­ generacy of the nee is n lack of re­ spect shown Christian ministers. 4. Live in peace (v. 13).
