              Pa. State Christian Endeavor
Convention One Of Inspiration
More than 5000 Relegates have regis-tered,
4372 in the senior convention and
700 in the junior convention, to attend the
sessions of the twelfth biennial State
Christian Endeavor convention held here
this week. The young folks have taken
possession of the town and park, and
Christian Endeavor pennants, :colors and
banners are seen everywhere.
The convention theme is " "Prayer
Changes Things." All of the principal
sessions and the mass meetings are held in
the big convention hall.
On Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, a
meeting of the State Executive Committee
was held on the Hershey Inn veranda.
At 2.30 a "Pre-Convention Prayer
Service" was held in the United Brethren
Church. Rev. A. G. Nye, pastor. After
a brief period was spent in silent prayer
and a large number of delegates offering
sentence prayers, an address was delivered,
"Better Service," by Rev. D. P. Longs-dorf
, of Reading, followed by a few re-marks
by President Warren G. Hoopes.
County songs and cheers and yells in the
big convention hall before the formal
opening of the meeting on Monday evening
further attested to the fact that Christian
Endeavors from every part of the State
were present.
A choir of 500 voices from Lebanon and
Dauphin Counties, under the leadership of
Homer Rodenheaver, chorister and musical
director, opened the convention with the
singing of "America." Other favorites
were sung during the evening, and Mr.
Rodenheaver played several trombone
selections. Miss Vivian Tripp is pianist
for the convention.
Address of Welcome
Warren G. Hoopes, president of. the
State Christian Endeavor Union, gave an
address. Addresses of welcome were
given by John E. Snyder, representing the
town of Hershey; J. R. Zoll, for Hershey
Park ; Nelson B. Cassell, president of the
Dauphin County Union, and Paul Wolfers-berger,
president of the Lebanon County
Union. The response to the welcome was
given by William C, McClintock, vice-president
of the State Christian Endeavor
Union.
The Rev. Paul M. Kinports, pastor of
the Lutheran Church, Hershey, led the
devotional exercises. F. E. Manmiller,
publicity chairman of the State Conven-tion
Committee, presided.
"Playing Hookey," was the subject of a
talk given by the Rev. Dr. A. Pohlman,
pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Phila-delphia.
"Life is one continuous school,"
he said, "and if you don't fit into the work
you are intended to do in that school you
are playing hookey."
Purpose of Judgments
"The studies in the public schools will
not fit one for real life," he said. "They
do not develop the religious and spiritual
side of man's life, and without that-side
developed no one can worship God in the
great outdoors, because he has no knowl-edge
of what God is. We are in this world
to please God, and whatever one does is
secondary for whom he does it. Judg-ments
come in life, just as examinations in
school, not that God may know what we
have done, but that we may be better able
to measure ourselves."
Frederick A. Wallis, president of the
New York State Union, spoke of the great
crime wave of today, and the number of
young people who have become criminals.
"Three-fourths of the crimes are commit-ted
by young men under 27 years of age,"
he said. "The cause, however, is not
prohibition, as some folks believe. Pro-hibition
is helping to solve the problem,
instead of causing it.
"The great cause of the crime wave
today," he declared , "is parental neglect.
Children no longer receive religious and
moral instruction in their homes. They
know almost nothing of God, the Bible and
the Nation 's laws."
"It was a challenge to the young people
of America," he said, "to bring about a
spiritual and moral greatness that will be
comparable with the material greatness of
America."
Parade of Lanterns
Following the meeting, there was a
Japanese lantern parade and demonstra-tion
on the athletic grounds that finally
wound up into a gigantic Christian En-deavor
monogram in the center of the
field. There were also novelty marches
and demonstrations that lasted until
nearly midnight, all showing the enthusi-asm
of youth for United Christian En-deavor.
The procession and demonstrations were
in charge of E. A. Pritchartl , assisted by
Miss Lillian DcTurk, Miss Elizabeth
McIIose, and Albert S. Strohecker, and the
county leaders.
Tuesday's Activities
The Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins, of
Philadelphia , began the clay with a quiet
hour service, and following that the morn-ing
was devoted to hard work with con-ferences
and round table discussion on all
subjects in which Christian Endeavors are
interested .
Work Among Sailors
At a mass meeting held in the convention
hall at 11.30 o'clock , Mr. Tresslor told of
the work in the flouting department among
the sailors of the Statu. His talk was
illustrated with motion pictures. Mr.
Pritchard sixikc of the "Needs and Plans
for Effective Recreation. "
Hut lest, too much work might make
Jack a dull lx>y, the whole afternoon was
given over to games, stunts , s|X)i ts, riding
the Hk(X)ter , merry-go-round , etc. There
was a fat man 's swimming contest., base-ball
and tennis tournaments. A com-petitive
park tour ended with thirty-five
in the contest.

was held , simultaneously with the
senior convention , in tin; Hershey High
School auditorium Tuesday. Seven hun-dred
children from every corner of the
State attended . This (heme of (lie con-vention
was: "Teach Ua to Pray." Homer
Rodenheaver became a magician for about
half an hour, and delighted the children
with his tricks that taught object lessons
of obedience, patriotism , etc. The con-ference

Barrett; prayer meeting methods, Mrs. J.
W. Prileluud; social activities , Miss Lillian

Chorus of 600 Sings
There were noisy demonstrations by the
different counties In tho;lnrge convention
hall preceding the evening meeting; noisy,
with no attempt at harmony, until Homer
Rodenheaver, choir director of the chorus
of 500 voices, picked up his trombone and
began playing, "C. E. Will Shine Tonight,"
when the 500 young people joined as one
person in that popular chorus in a way that
seemed to raise the roof. A half hour of
praise service followed, in which Mr.
Rodenheaver and Miss Vivian 'Tripp,
pianist for the convention, sang several
selections.
The conference leaders, speakers, and
State convention committee were intro-duced.-

J. Frank Palmer, leader of part of Con-vention
Chorus from Harrisburg.
Ira Shenk assisted materially in making

The Rev. A. G. Nye, pastor of the First
United Brethren Church, Hershey, led the
devotions, and the Rev. R. H. Taylor, of
the Presbytet^jj^Church, Hershey, pro-nounced
the benediction.
Warren G. Hoopes, president of the
State Christian Endeavor Union, presided.
Evan L. Roberts, State treasurer, presided
in the morning.
"There are three axiomatic facts in life,"
said Rev. Dr. C. Wallace Petty, pastor of
the First BaptistJChurch, Schenley Park,
Pittsburgh. "What you see depends upon
what you are looking for, what you look for
depends upon what you are, and what you
are depends upon what you think."
Doctor Petty scored severely the critics
of the institutions of America. "If they
don't like our laws, they ought to be court-eous
enough to be still or get out," he said.
"We need to take a new pledge for Ameri-ca:
My Country, may she always be right,
but when she is wrong, we will help to make
her right."
The criticism of the church is also a
mark of ignorance and ingratitude, Doctor
Petty said, ingratitude because many of the
critics have received their education that
makes them supercilious in the institutions
supported by the very churches they are
criticising.
Defends Young America
"There is also about as much reality in
the criticism of the younger generation as
there is in the criticism of the clothes they
wear," Doctor Petty said."We have the
finest generation of young manhood and
womanhood that America has ever had.
You see in them just what you are looking
for."
"What you are looking for portrays the
character you are, and what you are de-pends
upon what you think. It is dan-gerous
and lonesome to think," Doctor
Petty declared. "It is not done by the
best families, nor in the universities. It is
especially dangerous to think in a theologi-cal
seminary, especially upon religion. Yet
the imperial question that confronts all
young people today is the age-old question,
"What Think Ye of Christ?" Each one
must answer the question for himself. All
the world with all the superficiality is
dying for the Christ."
On Wednesday evening one of the special
features in the big convention hall was that
relating to the Old Time Negro spirituals
and recitations by Homer Rodehaver. The
address was delivered by James C. Mace,
secretary of the department of religious
training of Y. M. C. A., of Pittsburgh.
Thursday 's Activities

Prominent Speaker
On Thursday evening, in the convention
hall , the song service will be in charge of
Homer Rodeheavcr. The address will be
delivered by Rev. Daniel A. Poling, Presi-dent
of the United Society of Christian
Endeavor and Associate pastor of Marble
Collegiate Church , of New York City.

by Rev. J. R. MacDonald.

Local Lutherans
Will Observe
Sesqui-Centennial
In Holy Trinity Lutheran Church,
special observance will be made Sunday,
July 4th , of the Sesqui-Centennial of the
signing of the Declaration of Independence,
and the sesqui-centennial of the native
Lutheran participation in the stirring
events of the Revolutionary war days.
The pastor, Rev. Kinports, will deliver the
sermon at the morning service on the
theme, "The Message of the Bell." Special
attention will be directed to the dramatic
occasion at Emanuel Lutheran Church,
Woodstock, Va., in January, 1776,,when
the pastor, Rev. John Peter Muhlenberg,
preached his farewell sermon to his little
flock. At the close of the sermon the
pastor descended from the pulpit 4 flung
aside his ministerial robes'and strode to the
churchyard in the full uniform of an officer
of the Continental Army, Recruiting nearly
300 volunteers for the service under him.
Before the close of the War, Pastor
Muhlenberg rose to the rank of Major-
General under George Washington, Com-mander-
in-Chief of the armies. The
Lutheran Church played a great part in the
Revolutionary Days and the local con-gregation
will recognize the achievements
of these men and the patriotic loyalty of
their own Lutheran forbears at a time when
"traitors grew on every bush and none
knew whom to trust."
J. £. Snyder Endorses
Move to Improve Har-risbur
g Traffic Outlet s
Hearty endorsement of the program to
solve Harrisburg's traffic difficulties, as
outlined by the Public Service Commis-sion,
has been given by J. E. Snyder, of
town, as follows :
"These improvements will mean a great
relief not alone to the city but to the
county and to all people traveling through
the city. The subway at present is almost
useless for traffic and it seems so unneces-sary
to speak of those grade crossings in
South Harrisburg.
"The grade crossings cause a condition
not much different from what the city
used to have at Mulberry street before the
subway was built at Second. All grade
crossings must go ultimately and removing
these now simply means taking a step that
would have to be taken eventually. I do
not believe many people from our end of
the county try to use your subway, because
of the congestion. They prefer the Mul-berry
Street Bridge, but if the subway is
widened it will be used."

Miss Gurne y With

The two groups of Girl Reserves—the

camp fire on Tuesday evening in a farewell
party for Miss Harriet Gurney, the Girl
Reserve Counselor. Before leaving on
their hike the girls presented Miss Gurney
with a beautiful desk set.

worthwhile meetings they have had to-gether.

"Behind the Front " at
Park Theatre This Week
In the parlance of the movie studios,
"Behind the Front," Paramount 's comedy
of the A. E. F., which will be shown at the
I leruhey Park Theatre on Thursday, Fri-day
and Saturday, July 1, 2 and 3, is noth-ing
«hwl of ;i "wow."
Not since such pictures as "A Regular
Fellow" and Harold Lloyd's "Freshman,"
has audi a genuine pnxhicer of laughs been
thrown on the screen. "Behind the
Front " is a true mirror of the humorous
side of soldiering in France. Tlie story
concerns a couple of dumb doughboys,
played by Wallace Beery and Raymond
Hatton , and their love affair with an ex-ceptionally
beautiful and vivacious girl ,
Mary Brian , who never appeared more
allur ing and charming than she does in a
Red Cross worker 's uniform in the picture.
Before joining up with Uncle Sam's
raiding party, the two, Beery and Hatton
have been sworn enemies; the first—a
detective , and the latter -a burglar. But
since they both t<x>k to wearing tlie same
uniform , they have become buddies..
Beery's comedy ixirfornianco fs truly
magnificent , surpassing even Ilia great
comedy characterization as "Rhode Island
Red ," the happy-go-lucky brim in "The
Pony Express." Raymond Uulton also
adds new laurels by his acting as Shorty
Mc.Ciiw, burglar, stick-up mini and dough-boy.
Mary t Brian is splendid , and the
love interest of the picture: Is maintained
light up to the last comedy climax. Chester
Conklin , remembered for his small town
character in "A Woman of the World ,"
gives an inimitable performance as the
Scotch Kiltie , who tells the eager dough-boys
where he won his medals.
Behind the Front " was directed hy
Edward Sutherland. Montu Brlce adapt-ed
it. from Hugh Wiley 's Saturday Evening
Post short story.

MR. HERSHEY BACK HOME
Mr, M. S. Hershey, who has been In
Hershey, Cuba, since January, returnee!
!<> Hernhuy on Tuesday evening. He la
well and hearty and till of ua are glad that
hu Is airain back homo.
The Fourth of July—the Nation's
birthday—seems an appropriate date for
Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa, most
beloved of American conductor-composers
to open his annual tour. This year it is
the thirty-fourth season of Sousafs Band,
and the opening concert will be given in the
Hershey Park Convention Hall on Sunday
afternoon , July 4th, at 2.30 o'clock, with
evening concert at 7.30 o'clock. Concerts
will also be given on Monday, July 5th,
at 2.30 and 7.30 o'clock. The opening has
a special flare this year because on that
date it will be possible to give an appro-priate
first performance of his latest march,
"Sesqui-Centennial March," written in
honor of the 150th year of the Republic,
and already designated as the official
march of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposi-tion
in Philadelphia.
Two other new marches this year are :
"The Pride of the Wolverines," dedicated
to the City of Detroit; and "Gridiron
March," dedicated to the famous club in
Washington. And of course he will play
The Liberty Bell" frequently.
The entire country is talking about pro-hibition,
the "wets" arguing loudly that
"there ain't no such animal" and the
"drys" exclaiming just as loudly that it is
a success. So the annual Sousa humor-esque
is entitled 'The Wets and the Drys"
and presents both sides of the question in
terms of music.
For the radio fans Sousa has made an
arrangement for the brass band of the
things which the wild ether waves are
saying, and has called it "On the Radio."
The radio receiving set is almost as com-mon
throughout America as the telephone,
so Sousa who is as facile an imitator as
Elsie Janis, will tell the Sousa audiences
how a radio program sounds to HIM.
And last but not least. There is a
tremendous interest over the country in
negro music. So the Sousa programs will
contain at least one work of a Negro com-poser,
the "Juba Dance" from the suite,
"In the Bottoms," written by R. Nathaniel
Dett, whom Sousa believes will achieve a
place as one of the truly great composers of
his race.

Within the room were placed several small tables; 'round

,: Ye have a world of light
When love in the loved rejoices,
And the blind girl's home is the 1 louse of Night ,
And its beings are empty voices."
(c) "The Destruction of Pompeii and Nydin 's Death"
At.that moment they felt the earth shake Ixmcath their feet
and beyond, in tlie darkness, they heard the crash of falling
rcxifs. A group of men and women bearing torches banned by
the Temple, they were of the congregation of the Nnzarepes.
The tnxips chanted along with the wild honor of the-air ,
"Behold the Ixird descendeth to jud gment! He niaketh firo
come down from Heaven in the sight of nw.nl Woe to the
harlot of the seal W<x;l" At that moment a wild yell hurst
through the air- and thinking only of escape, whither they
knew not , the tiger of the desert leaped among the throng,
and hurried throu gh its parted streams, And so came the
earthquake . And so darkness once more fell uixm the earth.
In the silence of the general sleep Nydia rose gently: "Oh
sacred seal I hear thy voice invitingly -Rest Rest—Rest."

"The Kaffir girl pipes shrill and clear,
The cow-horn speeds its sound,
From out the darkness, far and near,
The tribal dancers bound.
In groups of eight and ten or more,
They dance throughout the night;
The brown-hued veldt their ballroom floor,
The moon their silvry light."
"(In South Africa.")
(b) "The Land of the Golden Fleece."
"When Australia smiles with a lover's wiles in the sun's adoring
rays;
Where the harbor's view like a jewel blue enchants the linger-,
ing gaze.
And the lass whose eyes have the dews of the skies, O, she shall
be his queen ;
And the twain shall sport in a golden court , 'neath a roof of
checkered green."

Sousa Isn't an Acrobat
One of the pet aversions of Lieut. Com.
John Philip Sousa is the musical director
who finds it necessary to do his daily dozen
on the conductor's stand. The March
King, probably is the most restrained of
present-day conductors—which may be
one of the reasons that he still is in his
prime at the age of seventy-one. "The
person who pays his money for a seat in a
concert did not come to see the director do
a wide variety of acrobatic tricks," says
Sousa. "If he had wanted to see acrobats
he would Tiave gone to a vaudeville show.
So I try to oblige by restraining myself."
It probably is not generally known that it
is a "firing" offense for a musician with the
Sousa organization to be caught patting
out the time with his feet as he plays.
Sousa sets the tempo for the entire band.
