New Manager for Music llall. It gives us great pleasure to announce that Music Hall is now under the sole management of Mace Townslev. l'ractiually he has had control of the house the past two years, making all the bookings and assuming all the responsibility for the lessee, Leslie Davis. The lease of Mr. Davis expired 011 the first of May and the Music Hall Association has leased the theater to Mr. Townsley for one year with the privilege of three. The association could not have done better. Mr. Townsley will treat the people of Crawfordsville right. He will give them fewer poor Bliows and more good ones than other towns of similar size get. Already has several bookings for next year including Charley's Aunt, Devil's Auction, Zozo, Blue Jeans and others.

A Heavy Kain Storm.

The heaviest rain storm for many years visited the country a few miles north of the city last evening. Not only the windows but the doors of heaven were opened. The floods came in the nature of a cloud burst and it was but a few minutes until the whole earth was a sea of water. Corn fields were submerged and the sloping sides everywhere were washed away. The streams rose so suddenly as to become impassable, and the damage done to wheat, corn and oats is beyond computation. The greatest damage was done in the vicinity of Cherry Grove.

Death of Mrs. Nannie Bright. Mrs. Nannie liriglitdied at her home four miles cast of Darlington yesterday at 1 o'clock of consumption aged 33 years, three months and twen ty-two days.

The funeral services will lie held to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock at the Baptist church and will be conducted by IVev, G. 1J. Fuson assisted by Rev. G. W Stafford. Interment will be made at Oak 11 ill cemetery.

THE UPDIKE-HAWES MEETINGS. HARVE FERGUSON ARRESTED

Laborers With Gort—Will Water Wash My Sins Away?—Increasing Interest.

The interest in the revival meetings at the Christian church continues and many souls are accepting Christ as tlieir Savior. Despite the stormy weather yesterday afternoon and last night the services were very well attended. The sermon yesterday afternoon was devoted to practical Christian work. Subject, "Laborers With God." Space will not permit a synopsis of the discourse. A few points may well be noticed. The thing we desire and that all Christians certainly desire ts to succeed, and to do that we must start out with the determination to be useful to the church and to the cause of Christianity. We can only expect blessing of God and confidence of the church when we are doing our Christian duty. Complaint among some that the church has slighted them, and does not show the proper respect for them, and that members do not visit them when sick. The question is, do the members who thus complain do what they complain of others not doing? You may take even the secret societies and the most faithful workers command the greatest respect because they are at the post of duty and deserve it, Those who complain of unsociability among church members usually sit close to the door, and just as the services are closed strike out for home. Such people have no room to complain. Co-part-nership in the Christian work is the demand of the church. All members should have an equal interest. Don't let anything side-track you. but keep right at the work, l'reacli and support the old gospel preaching, that is the apostolic preaching, and you will succeed. Keep in mind the fact that when the church is going down it is is because the members are failing to do their Christian duty.

The subject of the discourse at night was, "Will Water Wash My Sins Away?" in which the position of the disciples of Christ in regard to the office and importance of baptism was clearly shown, and there is no excuse cause for misrepresentation. The Bible proof of the position taken is beyond controversy. Text, Acts 22:10: "And now why tarriest thou? arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." A full synopsis will not be attempted. He said: No man understanding the use of language can analyze this text and get the idea that his sins can be washed away without being bapatized. Many people are honest in their differences, but ignorant in regard to facts. For me to say that a man can get to Heaven without obeying his God would be doing an injustice to the cause of Christianity. I have some respect for a man who has honest doubts about some things in the scriptures, but I don't expect semi-infidelity. Don't do anything half way. There have been and are to-day people ifi the world most strenuously misrepresented in regard to the teachings of the divine truth. I have heard it said of them that they believed that water washed sins away. 1 have heard it said that they didn't believe in the Old Testament that they didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ that they didn't believe in the Holy Spirit and in prayer. It is nonsense for anyone to say that water will wash away sins. If water washes away sins it was not necessary for Christ to'come into the world and shed his blood for the remission of sins. I began to investigate and have never iound a single Christian organization that didn't, believe in the Old Testament. I have never found a church that taught that iter would wash sins away. I have found people who believed just what the Bible said and just what it taught them. When you begin to quote scripture some people will say "you are a Campbellite." "The delectable morsel," quoted in THE JOUKNAL last week received a passing glance, concerning which the speaker said: "Who told that lie? It is not the pure heart that saves you, but Jesus Christ saves you. A pure heart is one of the essentials. It is the result of faith through which Jesus saves. Jesus is the only savior of sinners."

Where does the alien sinner come in contact with the blood of Jesus? We preach that baptism is for the remission of sins. We preach that the blood of Christ was shed for the remission of sins and that we obtain remission of sins through His name. We obtain remission of sins through three things—through His name, through the blood of Jesus Christ, through baptism. Some people say that in the expression "for the remission of sins," "for" means "because of." Take the other text in Matthew which says, "This is the blood of the New Testament which was shed for many for the remission of sins." It would not be right to say that Christ shed his blood because our sins were remitted. Christ's blood was shed for the remission of sins, and also repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. What is the price you are re quired to pay for the remission of sins? "Believe, repent and be baptized for the remission of sins." Christ shed his blood for the remission of your sins. A sinnerjin order to come into contact with the blood of Christ must come into his death. It is nowhere stated in the Bible that we are to believe into his death, or repent into his death, or confess into his death, but in the Gth chapter of Romans it says, "Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried i-with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." A burial means a complete covering up. If Naaman had not dipped himself seven times in the Jordan as commanded by the prophet Elijah he would never have been healed. It was not the water that healed him, but obedience to the command of God through the prophet. If you wish to be healed of the leprosy of sin obey the commandments of God.

Sends His Young Wife to Crawfordsville, Removes the Furniture' Then Tells Her to Kemaln Away.

Terre Haute Express- Harvey Ferguson, the young railroader who deserted his girl wife, spent last night in jail and will this morning be forced to face stern justice and the girl he is alleged to have wronged. Ferguson is a railroader and if his fellow brakemen meant what they said yesterday Harvey can thank his lucky stars that fate threw him into the arms of Captain llyland so soon after he had arrivud in this city from Indianapolis last niglit.

As was printed in yesterday morning's Express, Ferguson's wife, Lucy, has begun suit against him for support, alleging that they were married in Crawfordsville a few months ago, that they moved to Terre Ilaute, where Ferguson, for no cause whatever, desert] ed her and has made no provision for her support. The true story of the affair as told to an Express reporter, is apparently the sequel to a hasty marriage where the first loves takes a prominent part. Sympathy is on the side of the woman wronged, and railroaders have already come to the front and offered to contribute money to push the prosecution of the heartless husband.

Ferguson's wife is but a mere girl, whom he met at" Crawfordsville. She was an innocent country girl and, like too many of the class, was hasty in falling in love with a dashing brakemen. Ferguson was apparently so smitten with the girl's beauty that he seems to have forgotten his love for a girl in this city whom, it is alleged, lie was engaged to marry. The courtship of Ferguson and his rural flame was brief and they were married before tliey were much more than acquainted. Soon after the marriage, and before the waning of the honeymoon, th couple moved to Terre Haute and began housekeeping. Harvey frequently met the Terre Haute girl whom he had discarded. The living presence of his first love seemed to melt the piecrust promises he had made to his young wife and he soon became weary of life with Lucy. The fact that there was a matrimonial barrier between him and his first love in the shape of a confiding country girl seemed to prey on Harvey's mind like the memory of a haunted house and for relief he concocted a scheme to rid himself of the sharer of his sorrows and joys. Seeing that his wife was in a delicate condition Harvey suggested that she go on a visit to her parents in Crawfordsville To this the woman cheerfully consented and was soon with her parents, as the confiding girl hought, to make a brief visit and then return to her husband. In this she was disappointed and after a short time at Crawfordsville received a letter from her husband, which almost had the effect of a death warrant. After Mrs. Ferguson had gone Ferguson broke into the house and removed all the furniture to the home of his mother. He then sent his wife's clothing to her at Crawfordsville, accompanied by a letter telling her that he had ceased to love her and would never live with her again. He told her she need not return in hope of adjusting matters as his love had been transferred to another. After a time the girl became convinced that there

EE

was no hope for reconciliation and decided to seek redress in court. She returned to thjn city and ou Monday by her attorneys begun suit against her husband for support.
