PLATFORM MANAGER
Baltimore, Md.
Mr. Jordan had charge of the Boys' work at our Chautauqua this year. The boys are very eager for his return. Special mention should be made of Mr. Jordan's address at what was called The Parents' Hour, a series of splendid discussions of the boy problem in all its modern aspects. Every Chautauqua will enrich its program of construction service by engaging Mr. Jordan.
M. H. LICHLITER, Pastor Grace M. E. Church.
CHAUTAUQUA PROMOTER
Rev. A. Homer Jordan conducted the Boys' Work at the Wabash Chautauqua this season. Mr. Jordan also gave a series of lectures to parents. In both lines he was very successful. Mr. Jordan is the type of man that takes an interest in the whole Chautauqua, and helps to unload the cares of the manager.

Expressions of great appreciation were manifested on every side, both by the members of the graduating class, the patrons of the school, and the citizens of the community, in connection with the able address delivered by Dr. A. Homer Jordan during the graduating program of our high school. The directness of the appeal to the graduates, the clearness of the message, the inspirational and suggestive character of the theme will surely have a lasting outcome upon all the hearers.
We trust that we may again be favored with his presence at some time in the very near future, and shall endeavor to arrange such an occasion, if convenient and pleasing to him.
