Book Description
Excerpt from A Paper About Chautauqua and Its Teachings Knowing that there is an increasing desire to understand the Chautauqua idea and aim which has taken captive the hearts of many thousand pilgrims who for ten consecutive summers have journeyed to this Mecca, I will attempt in these few pages to give some prominent features of this unique assembly. It is an educational movement, combining sacred and secular knowledge, taking the teachings and doctrines of the Holy Bible as the chief corner stone. In other words, Chautauqua seeks to establish the relation of Christianity and of culture as they appear in our individual as well as in the national life. All persons are concerned in that which shapes the life, the destiny and the greatness of the nation, of which we all form a part. This great movement, which has caused from every part of the wide world the inquiry, "What is this Chautauqua?"
