We must group together, begging pardon of the members, many other
organizations, such as the W. C. T. U. All Americans know, some of them
to their cost, what those four letters stand for; the Y. W. C. A., which
has opened a Hospitality House of Welcome and Rest on Pratt Avenue; the
Daughters of the American Revolution, coming from every part of the land
for gatherings at Chautauqua; the Order of the Eastern Star, whose

of life. The King's Daughters and King's Sons meet weekly at the Pier
Buildings, and the Chautauqua Education Council, made up of
Superintendents, principals and teachers, holds two regular sessions
each week. If there are any more clubs, and their titles are sent to the
author of this book, they will appear in the new edition, after the
first hundred thousand copies are disposed of.

But we are forgetting the title of this chapter and must name some of
those who helped to make Chautauqua successful during the quadrennium
between '92 and '96. In 1893 Henry Drummond repeated at Chautauqua his

old-fashioned "kiver to kiver" believers in the verbal inspiration of
the Bible who were alarmed to find an eminent Christian leader accept so

Chautauqua was of rejoicing at his harmonizing the most evangelical
religion with the most advanced scholarship. Jane Addams gave some
lectures on modern problems of family and social life; Edward Eggleston,
long before a leader of the Sunday School Army, by turns preacher,
story-writer (his _Hoosier School-Master_ marked an epoch in American
literature, say the critics) and historian, was with us once more after
many years of absence. He said in an introduction, "I am glad to be
again among Sunday School workers, real crazy people, for I believe that
nobody can be a first-class Sunday School man unless he has a little
crack in his head on that subject." Frank G. Carpenter, who had traveled
in almost every land of earth, told us stories of his experiences and
observations; Kate Douglas Wiggin read charmingly some of her own
stories; Mr. John Temple Graves spoke in his fine rounded periods on
some topics o
