I think I had imagined that it was only Christians who could be attracted to Chautauqua at all; I meant to come to stay through all the services." "Your aunt, for instance?" Eurie said, inquiringly. "My aunt is a Christian," he answered, "and a sincere one, too, though I see for some reason you don't think so.
The fellow-passengers seemed not to be novices like themselves, for as their talk floated to the girls it had sentences like these: "Last year we stopped in the village, but this time we are going to be right on the ground." "Last year it rained, too; but rain makes no difference at Chautauqua." "They are all last year's people," said Marion, coming over to Flossy's side.
Lincoln, I would say that at the time of his first nomination to the Presidency I was a child of eleven years, living with my parents in Chautauqua County, N.Y. My father was an ardent Republican, and possessed of a profound admiration for the character of the grand man who was the choice of his party.
Flossy laughed softly; she knew what charms Chautauqua had taken on, but the others supposed it to be a whim, resulting from the ridicule she had suffered because of the Saratoga scheme.
Two weeks at Chautauqua, her railway-fare paid both ways!-a score of the best people of the church assuring her that it was her duty-and an envelope with the banker's personal check for twenty dollars, endorsed "for incidentals as delegate"!

She said the course would be only the same thing over again, with so little change or advancement, that the trip was not worth the time and money it would cost. She proposed that Kate go to Lake Chautauqua and take the teachers' course, where all spare time could be put in attending lectures, and concerts, and studying the recently devised methods of education.
Then he slammed his tray down on the platform and, with one quick movement, jerked his coat sleeves back to his elbows, and inside thirty seconds he had the floor in both hands, as it were. He conversed mainly with the Australian crawl stroke, but once in a while switched to the Spencerian free-arm movement and occasionally introduced the Chautauqua salute with telling effect.
You can imagine better than I could tell you what Dr. Vincent's message would be at such a time as that. Breaking into it, came the shrill sound of the whistle. The Col. Phillips the last boat for the night was giving out its warning. The Chautauqua bells began their parting peal.
