thut would accrue to any community
where such an organization might be
extabllshed.
Chautauqua is an Institution. The
foundations must be laid carefully,
it should be lnter-denomlnatlonal In
character. Its platform should be
broad enough to give a hearing to the
foremost and beat thought of the
country, but all else tends to narrow
and lower the tone of American cltl
benshlp and should bo sedulously ex
cluded.
If there Is any desire to establish a
Chautauqua In the vicinity of La
Grande, let It be understood as a first
prlnlcpal, that the basis of thought of
a Chautauqua Is Christian. Not that
It should be upon all occasions unduly
thrust to the front, or that it savor of
the nature of a campmeetlng. But
Its aim, purposes, ambition and aspir
ations are along the lines of Christian
culture and thought And It Is only
when along these lines that any com
munity can enlist the best endeavor of
Its best citizens.
No man or woman with a message,
calculated to benefit mankind, Is ex
cluded from Its platform. If I give
your readers an insight into the pro
gram of the Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua assembly, which meets at
Gladstone park July 7, 1908, It will
answer many questions and at the
same time give a better Idea of the
scope of the work of Chautauqua,
than I could hope to give by the use
of mere words.
We huve John Sharp Williams.

house of representatives, and Senator-

one pnrtlotlc lecture along the lines of
