of
ministers' institute.

CRETE, NEB., JUNE 30 TQJOIY 9, 1897.
PROGRAM.
Over one hundred acres of land afford
room for everything, buildii gs and base
ball, tennis and tent?, boating and bi
cycling. A Chautauqua hotel enter
tains visitors and a largo dining ball
feeds them at moderate prices. The am
phitheatre seats 2,000 people and is
often full during the season. Halls
about the grounds provide room for the
varied class and lecture work. The
grove of ,the tents is one of the most
conspicuous Eights imaginable. The
Crete Chautauqua is not of one idea but
of many. On the grounds are a lawyers'
building, a press building, a Y. M,C. A.
building, a W. C. T. U. building; de
nominational hou'es of the Fresh) ter
ians, theCorgregationalistp, the United
Brethren, etc., while itself is undenomi
national; and fifteen cottage; owned
and occupied by peoplj of many creeds
but of one spirit. It is the Chautauqua
idea transplanted unchanged from Lake
Chautauqua to the Big Blue river of
Nebraska; a1 social iod, eJucition. in
spiration, entertainment and cu'ture.
Sunday is observed as Sunday should
be. No sunday excursion trains are run
at nominal fare in order to get a dis
orderly rabble ti swell the gate re
ceipts. We run a cluutauqua and not
a circus. It is cheaper than any summer
resort, and a dozen times pleasanter.
