At the Village church, next Sun- 
day, Rev. Dr. Walter S. Eaton will 
preach at the morning service be- 
ginning at 10:45. In the evening 
Peter MacQueen, F. R. G. S., special 
war correspondent for Leslie’s week- 
ly, who has just returned from the 
scene of action, will give a thrilling 
talk on what he saw of suffering and 
horror on the battlefields of Europe. 
Mr. MacQueen sailed for the hostile’ 
countries at the outbreak of the war 
in 1914, joining the armies of the 
allies in Belgium. He returns with 
hitherto untold stories of the un- 
speakable horrors that strife has 
brought to the countries involved. 
His plea is for disarmament of the 
nations, for the cessation of the war 
in the name of civilization and en- 
lightenment and includes causes, con- 
ditions and consequences of this most 
stupendous war in history, stories of 
hospitals, dying men, suffering child- 
ren and _ broken-hearted women. 
The lecture is illustrated with the 
pictures he made amid the ruins of 
villages sacked and razed and the 
battlefields where heroes and cow- 
ards fought and died. He has had 
experience in war and its accom- 
panying ravages before, but these 
new ones in the wickedness and 
wasteful terror of Europe are by far 
the most terrible. Mr. MacQueen 
says: ‘‘If civilization is not.a hollow 
mockery, let’s quit fighting like 
brutes and establish peace.’’ The 
lecture coming at such an opportune 
time as it does, is attracting a great 
deal of notice and many, whether or 
not they agree with the theories of 
Mr. MacQueen will go to the church 
Sunday evening to see the pictures 
and hear the views of an eye witness 
to conditions ‘‘over there.’’

Sunday Concert at Magnolia 
Church. 
It is seldom that Magnolia secures 
for one evening three artists of such 
ability as Miss Alfreda Beatty, Miss’ 
May Moses and Miss Lydia White, 
who gave a concert of superlative 
merit at the Village church last Sun- 
day evening. Miss Beatty, the sing- 
er, has studied in Berlin under Mad- 
am Gerster and the late Frank King 
Clark; she has sung in concert and 
in opera on the continent and in
