of the meeting was a talk by ths Jtsv.
William Bobbltt, a pastor of the
Christian church at Woodland, Cat.,
who haa a far-reaching reputation
ss a Chautauqua lecturer.
Mr. Bobbltt made an Inspiring ad
dress In pleading for a better spirit
In community development work.
In the past, he said, communities hi
weighing their assets told stress 'an
on the material things, ths rssoaresa
tbat they could measure with ths4r
senses and which have Instant mar
ket value.
But there has come an awakening
of community conscoasassa.;as salsV .
and ths most sdvssesd cities srs
realizing that there Is a spiritual
aids ot the community development
ths creation of a home snvlroamsat
and putting soul Into the body polit
ic, thst la more Important than ths
counting houses method ot compat
lag community resources.
Ha pleaded for a get-tafithsr
movement for the advaacemest of
every town, bettering ths savtrsa?
meet la -which the beys and (Iris,
the citizens of tomorrow', make rssdt
lor the, tasks ot cltUsnshlp whisk ths) ,

While tMs waajtrsadsftavs r
spsMk.aa4f.tUa spanker 'asaast;i
with due seriousness, tks wksls was
lightened with numerous ssscdotss
and flashes of humor. Many.ot'kss
hearers were ot the opinion that Mr.

ever appeared here. He is speadtas
a month's vacation camping In Klam
ath county. He has promised his
colleague, the Rev. F. C. Trimble,
tbat he will return later la ths year

Under leadership ot Roy Wonder
ly the gathering tried out several of
the new "pep" songs of ths organi
sation and made a very consplcnoaa
success. At least if there waa!anr
harmony lacking It waa not due to
lack of harmonious 'effort. A couple
ot specimens of sentiment follow;
