THE STORY OF THE CHAUTAUQUA Back in the days before the white man crossed the ocean from the Old World and when the red Jtncc held sway over this land of our.% these red men held councils for tho discussion of ,problems of common interest in their tribes. While the older men and chiefs discussed these problems, the younger men of tho tribe would hold contests to test their skill in trials of athletics and marksmanship with the how and arrow. There is a lake located in tho south west corner of New York State which has had the name Chautauqua even pre vious to the advent of the white to this country. Of course .it was the In dians who gave the lnkc its name. The custom of the Indians wns to name a lake ot river according to the way it appeared to them. If the lake was nearly round in shape, they named it Round Lake. If another lake which was nearly round in shape was in tho vicinity of the first lako named nnd chanced to be larger than the first lnkc, it was called Big Bound Lake. Chnntauqua Lake is composed of two bodies of water connected by n narrow neck of water, and it was pcrfeetly na'tural in keeping with the Indian cus tom to namo tho lake Chau-tau-qua, which means in the Indian language < Tied-Togethcr-In-The-Middlo. ’ ’ Both history and Indian legends tell us that the Indians held their councils around the shores of Chautauqua. Tn 1874 a scries of educational meet ings were held around the shores of this same lake where some two hundred years previous the Indians hold their councils. When the meaning of the Indian name had been ascertained, theso meetings for tb,e want of a bet ter name, took the name of tho lake. The aignificanc-e of the word Chautau qua, 1 ‘ Tied-Together-In-Thc-Middle, ’ appealed to the authorities in charge of. these meetings as an ideal spirit which should exist and provail among map- kind. A simple Indian name has ex panded in meaning until it represents that “Stand-Together” and “PullrTtt;, getlicr” spirit which should ,be sp pre dominant in all well rogulftted com munities. Today the traveling Chautau qua is carrying this doctrine to commu nities in every state in bur nation. Convention to Be Held at The Christian Church The Churches of Christ of tho West ern District of Georgia will meet at the Christian church, Carrollton, Ga., October 'HJW-firtrxt * Tuesday} one day only.
